HN guideline: Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like.

> Monsanto has had a huge astroturf campaign online for several years defending/promoting glyphosate (even on this website). ... I started noticing that there were the same users over and over with extremely well-researched defensive responses (the stuff that only someone with a PhD or JD could put together) and it's pretty obvious what's going on.

Seems pretty obviously an insinuation that HN is full of pro-Monsanto astroturfing and I don't think it is a stretch to say it is a commentary on the specific comments in this thread.
Looks great!

We're in the NFT space as well and we represent rarity from a slightly different perspective. We're indexed roughly 150m NFTs across the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. What do we mean by indexed?

We have all of the on chain data, metadata, and the actual asset itself (in storage + CDN). Not only is this every NFT (721/1155) from epoch but also new NFTs as they are minted.

We then add the content (image, video, whatever) to our CV/ML model to make NFTs searchable by content, contract + token, etc.

The public front-end is available here:

Numpy has the highly useful operation of `a < b` where a and b are arrays and the answer is an array of booleans - i.e broadcasted elementwise compare.

They changed the language to change what question `<` asks.
Out of curiosity: "great reads" sounds kinda like a proper name / title (it's a plural being used as a singular), are these from lists-of-"great reads" / a layout for some datasource that has "great reads", or just a (large!) collection of things you've found over time?

Or am I just over-thinking that "s"?

Either way, this looks great. Randomly clicking a few entries finds stuff I wish I had found years earlier. Thanks a ton for sharing! I'll have to poke around more :)

Marin /did/ want it, but after the Golden Gate Bridge authority insisted that the bridge couldn't support the extra deck needed for BART there was a risk that if Marin were part of BART they'd be on the hook for the money without ever receiving service. That, unsurprisingly, reduced enthusiasm - and if a reduction in the Marin vote had dropped the overall bond vote below the required 60 percent, none of the system would have been built, so Marin was kicked out.

Reasonable, maybe, but in conflict with https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMon...:

“Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?

Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.)”

On the other hand, there’s https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLRequireA...:

“if someone pays your fee and gets a copy, the GPL gives them the freedom to release it to the public, with or without a fee. For example, someone could pay your fee, and then put her copy on a web site for the general public.”

App Store rules may make that difficult to do for the buyer.
well it also doesn't help to make assumptions based on skewed correlations.

It insinuated that there are a number of users on this website that are being paid by Monsanto. That is absolutely against site guidelines.
I do not think this is true. Async programming via channels in Go is a big win and way more expressive than what any C library can give you. Also, higher order functions and interfaces are good. On top of that they added generics. I think that it is more than enough of a practical language already.

It would only take a few hundred years to turn Venus into a pretty close Earth analog. It has issues to be dealt with, but would really have much more resources available that Mars.

I just got one a few weeks back but haven't gotten to spend a ton of time with it yet. It's taking some adjustment but I'm liking it so far.

- had 1440p + 1080p monitors on stands side by side before. Now just this one on an arm (which is excellent), that I can adjust to keep my position from being static.

- not having to hold my neck angled while reading my side monitor is helpful.

- realistically there are a few "modes" of working on here. While coding it's pulled a bit closer, while in CAD or similar creative I might push it back a bit and get more of the monitor in view.

- I recline slightly so the monitor is tilted a bit which gives me a solid view of the bottom 60-70% of the monitor. The top is a bit out of range at close distance.

- For coding so far I have the middle-ish of the monitor as a 1440p code-only view. Below that are a few windows for manpages/reference/interactive debugging/repl/etc. On the top end which is normally slightly out of view I have compilation and long running test output which I glance at by moving my eyes.

I like not having to page between desktops while coding when possible. The bottom view is also large enough to hold a browser window or simulator window. Need to also try pushing it back a bit with slightly larger text and see if that's any better.

I don't intend to game on it, maybe windowed mode in the middle or something.

edit: well, also it has this mode where you can split it into two 1440p monitors on different inputs (which you can hook up to the same computer), so depending on the game I might do that as well.
Especially egregious in technical blog posts when the author uses them because they think it looks nice but then forgets that not everyone knows what those symbols mean. Leave ligatures out of code blocks.
Bringing a flat nothing to go against an anecdote isn't very helpful at figuring out what's right.

Sometimes it's useful to point out flimsy evidence, but they already did that. You need to bring your own thoughts in this situation.

> I am used to being able to hold down the right key and traverse my entire document, as far as I like.

I mean chances are, if you're holding down a key in vim, you're doing an inefficient movement. That's kinda the point: it's a keyboard language that turns complex actions into compound, simple actions. If you're still using the simple movement and complaining about it not doing what you want, you're just not using vim correctly.

I'm not sure why people get this defensive, though. People like vim, people like editors-that-aren't-vim. Is that not okay? If you don't want to learn to use vim, this link isn't for you.

> but what if there were some kind of special key that could be pressed to issue controls?

This works for a limited number of shortcuts, and when you only want to issue a few. The point is that you can now issue a large number of "command" inputs, very quickly, without holding down a key.

> Again, you're right, I don't want to do anything new. Why would I? I want to get on with my job.

Then uh... don't use vim? Do you post on every "I wrote xyz course for abc language/tool/technology" expressing that you don't want to use it?
The command line is a problem for intermediate users. I consider Linus from LTT to be at the upper end of intermediate and he was borderline incompetent in Linux. When you have enough knowledge to be dangerous and the hubris to assume you know everything you should need to know, you will find yourself in deep trouble quickly.

The most computer illiterate will be fine, but they will not be buying a machine like this. The most advanced people will probably be fine mainly because their expectations will be in check. I'm personally having a hard time getting my 13 year old to debug issues in windows and linux because his expectations are just too high (probably years of ipad use). He expects things should just work and get frustrated too quickly.

Anyway, I think success in linux is more mental than anything. The terminal shouldn't be the frightening thing people like to think it is. It's just FUD. I'm in the terminal all the time on my Mac and no one seems to have an issue with that.
The only monospaced vector fonts I've really liked are Iosevka and Envy Code R.

Otherwise, give me raster, baby. Terminus, ttyp0, the Oldskool PC Font Pack fonts, Topaz (Amiga font), Atari ST font, even something like Proggy Clean. Back in the 96dpi days, 7x13 was my jam. Those ancient, ugly glyphs are distinguishable across the room in less than ideal display conditions which is why I love them when staring at code for hours at a go. I may be a nostalgic grognard, and today's programmers may well be justified in preferring their IDEs in eggshell with Romalian type, but there you have it.

There is definitely a mix of issues. Some patients expect antibiotics because they paid for the visit.

However, every physician should be able to present patient with different options and risks. It simply is not happening. Some antibiotics carry smaller risks than flouroquinolones as this drug belongs to topoisomare II inhibitors along with chemo drugs. Some reactions we are seeing are much like damage from chemo. However, the action of damage is still very poorly understood. There is some research on mitochondrial dna damage and adducts.

There recently has been talk if flouroquinolone antibiotics could be a potential cancer treatment even.

If I knew I would never touch this antibiotic unless on my death bed.

Analog is not everything and any filters with distortions reduce the options in regards to what can be done with these 12 bits later. Unless we are talking of overcoming limitations of the sensor, like polarized filter or darkening filter to photograph the sun.

Of course, if you got a filter that does exactly what you want and you are going to use it a lot, there is nothing wrong with that and you may get more precise effects than post processing. But the post is about lenses, which are bulky and more expensive than filters. To me it makes more sense to invest in 3 clean lenses (travel, telephoto and compact zoom) than ones with built in distortions that I may not want for every photo. If someone is sufficiently wealthy, athletic and dedicated to carry a suitcase for 10 lenses everywhere, hats off to them I guess. Even filters are like $80?

This seems irrelevant to whether farming occurred before people.

I don't think the line is very clear cut at all, but it does involve intentional intervention by a species not the plant.
You can get free uptime monitoring from Google Cloud. The limit is 100 uptime checks per monitoring scope, which may mean either a project or an organization based on how you configure IIUC. https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/uptime-checks. The checks are ran from 6 locations around the world, so you can also catch network issues, that you likely cannot do much about when you're running a tiny service. My uptime checks show the probes come from: usa-{virginia,oregon,iowa}, eur-belgium, apac-singapore, sa-brazil-sao_paulo

Another neat monitoring thing I rely on is https://healthchecks.io. Anything that needs to run periodically checks in with the API at the start and the end of execution so you can be sure they are running as they should, on time, and without errors. Its free tier allows 20 checks.
Op here, I'd also like to say I blame this on Python's lack of broadcasting syntax, (dot in Matlab and Julia)

It's not just resolution. Color gamut and accuracy is also derided for no reason. You might get downvoted for suggesting a screen in 2022 should have P3 coverage when 4-year-old mid-range smart phones do. It's really odd to me too because many web developers are working in browser with designers, game devs have graphics, people do graphical hobbies, etc. so it's an important feature to 'doing work' but last I checked zero Linux laptops were shipping with gamuts beyond sRGB.

To be fair this person's gripes are with the behavior of Numpy arrays, not anything that's native to Python's core language. Numpy arrays are tricky beasts because they try to balance fast operations on huge amounts of data, with expressive Python operator syntax.
The fragmentation here was I think a Linus misstep - when the wake lock and other ideas came out some subsystem maintainers were fussing.

But code talks and talk walks, the android folks were solving real issues - so my own view would have been to be supportive of their efforts which were not insignificant.
EMPHASIS > It’s the building out of fiber to each premise that is the expensive part, not the topology or the equipment.

That's it in one sentence. So you want a topology and engineering model that will allow you to reduce your total network cost.

I didn’t ask Dang for anything, in fact the opposite.

To my knowledge, Dang is aware this is an issue, and expecting it to pickup once people are back at work; in fact, errors like this pop-up anytime HN has high amount of traffic, especially commenting traffic; in the past, Dang even asks users to logout if possible.

Again, this is independent of Dang, unclear what I did to get a response like this. Just trying to setup simple log of the error, not asking for anything aside from suggestions on how to do it; done it in the past, that is automate loading a page, only for a string of text, but thought I would see if anyone had suggestions or was already doing it.
You might like prepared Vim frameworks then, like SpaceVim which was recently on HN [0].

So if he had received the phage treatment sooner, would that have lessened these effects? Or are they sure that these effects were not caused by the phages themselves? Obviously it's better to be alive, even with these effects, but if doctors were choosing between several options for a future patient, they'd presumably want to know the causal chain.
My particular favourite is how GraphQL servers respond with "200 OK" and the errors will be sent in a key called "errors". Makes regular healthchecks almost useless.

Get an amateur radio license (or, in Canada - it's a "Certificate of Proficiency"), and then spend a couple of years participating in exercises with a local club.

That way you'll learn about propagation, what makes a good radio cost 10x as much as a Baofeng, antenna systems, signalling modes, communication protocols, handheld channel programming, what local repeater systems are around and what their capabilities are.... You'll also learn who are the other hams around you, and where and what time they tend to be listening.

It's not the answer, you may have missed the other part of what I wrote.

Implementing this anonymity to allow regular guys help their families in Russia, who are now dealing with 4x price hike on basic goods, will help kleptocrats (the very guys causing that hike in the first place) finance their wars and further entrench themselves in power. Don't you see how this ultimately hurts those it ostensibly aims to help?

Regular guys will send home hundreds of USD, kleptocrats will launder billions.

Financial anonymity at scale exacerbates these asymmetries by helping those with the most money/power the most. Thinking otherwise is hoping they are clueless and don't employ teams of savvy people specifically to figure out various financing workarounds.

Not just deep-space probes; Dragon, Orion, and I think Starliner all use hypergols. Plenty of satellites do as well, though I think there's a trend towards using various sorts of electric propulsion. Really, the big misprediction of the book (looking at chapter 13, "What Happens Next") is that it doesn't consider missiles (and some upper/deep-space stages) moving to solid propellant; but it's a book about liquid propellants, so I'm not too surprised.
There's tons more that we can be doing now to reduce transportation emissions. Investments in transit and bikes. Locating housing closer to jobs. Blocking highway widening efforts. All other efforts to reduce vehicle miles traveled. Ignoring all those on the belief that it is "tractable" to eventually reach net-zero without them, is exactly the complacency I was talking about! In other areas, reducing energy consumption is identified as a necessary and impactful way to reduce emissions in the short term, and make fully converting the grid to renewable easier in the long term. Why not here?
