Yeah, it's a rapidly expanding an evolving genre with its own conventions and quite a bit of influence from Chinese webnovels and anime. Your average litrpg usually involves a System Apocalypse or an Isekai Protagonist.

System Apocalypse - God like Magical Computer "System" that tracks peoples stats/skills, recognises their feats and rewards them arrives on earth and integrates the world into "The System" usually in the form of a magical cli gui that appears in peoples vision as they go about their day.

Isekai - Average person going about their business dies in an accident and is reincarnated on another (magical) world with memories of their past life intact.
As an outsider, these seem like terrible compensation for time esp given the talent it seems necessary to publish here.
Different wavelengths of light scatter more or less as they pass through gas or dust. This is why the Earth's sky is blue on a clear day, and sunsets are red --- the red light scatters less, blue scatters more.

In smokey or smoggy air, the red light is also scattered.

The "smoke" in a nebula is mostly gas and dust. It's either left-over primordeal matter (hydrogen gas, some helium), or ejecta from novas and supernovas --- star-smoke if you will, though it's created by nuclear fusion rather than chemical combustion.

JWST's IR sensors can cut through that dust more readily than Hubble's optical-range sensors could, and pull out more detail on the dust to boot (based on my own viewing of comparative images).

I'm not sure if the dust is reflecting light or glowing from heat, though my hunch is it's mostly reflecting. Stellar gas that gets hot enough will also glow in infrared (or higher) wavelengths, and that might also be picked up by JWST. I suspect there will be targets demonstrating this in future.
I think the Teamsters union is also involved in this grift.

My most starred repo has no code in it too!

A few years ago I bought an AnyTone AT-D868UV ham radio. As with any software-managed device, there were a few issues. I wanted a place to keep track of these problems for my own purposes. So I thought "GitHub Issues!"

https://github.com/geary/AnyTone-D868UV

I added a couple dozen of the problems I'd run into. And then it took a life of its own. Some people thought it was an official AnyTone support channel (despite my disclaimer). That's bound to happen.

The fun part was when people started an issue on how to upgrade a D868UV to a D878UV and get all the new features.

https://github.com/geary/AnyTone-D868UV/issues/59

Of course this was kind of an insane project unless you look at it from the point of a ham operator: radio hacking is fun!

Now about the gloves and chili.

Around 1974 I decided to stir fry a very hot dish of chiles and eggplant.

I didn't use gloves or a fume hood or any of those smart precautions.

Midway through the stir fry I noticed my forehead was burning.

But I ate the dish and it was delicious.

The next morning I woke up and my fingers were numb!

I went into survival mode and quickly realized that what I needed to do was eat a lot of yogurt, right then and there.

And it worked. I still have my fingers!
I have worked on a Windows-compatible kernel. Not at Microsoft, but within the ReactOS Project.
And I can affirm that even after 15 years of low-level development, nowadays mostly within various Rust projects, it doesn't get boring.
Can't imagine going back to high-level while there is still so much work to do on the underlying foundations..

Congrats on your kernel development offer from Microsoft!
I imagine these to be very scarce these days, considering that today's Microsoft seems to be more into services and less about low-level software development.

If you like to chat more about this, just drop me a line. Always interested to hear from low-level devs and aspiring ones. My website/e-mail is in my HN profile.

When I stocked up for covid I restricted myself from ordering meals or any shopping an I ate only what I had. Which was mostly green lentils with butter and salt. Plus some rice and dried vegetables, peas and buckwheet for a bit of variety. In few weeks of eating that I started unintentionally loosing weight. I didn't feel hungry. The food was tasty just a little bit boring. I was taking some vitamins just in case.

Weightloss stopped when I decided to start doing shopping again and bought higher variety if food including sweets.

This can't really be right though, can it? There aren't enough engineers in FAANGs to equal half of the DAUs of HN, and I kind of doubt that all of them would be on HN.
Nah, just thoughtless is enough.

I suspect with him in prison, the court could enforce the sale of his assets. I think the theoretical answer is, yes, the court can physically force cash transfer even if Musk refuses to cooperate. Prison is just a part of it (though I can't see Musk keen to explore that).

But then he's got expensive lawyers and so on, to me this is the interesting side of the thought experiment.
How does an EULA defend against fraudsters, con artists, and hackers?
What are you talking about specifically? Overly politically minded people love to say the US president is doing this or that but in reality the president doesn't have all that much control. Even rejecting things like oil leases on natural lands are a) a small proportion of the supply and b) won't have an impact for years because it takes time to drill wells and move oil. The idea that Biden could wave his hand tomorrow and make gas $2/gal or $10/gal on a whim is pure conspiracy-mongering fantasy.

The US has been pushing hard for green energy (and constantly talking about it) for two decades. Congress and states have passed lots of legislation related to it. The Texas wind farms and CA solar industry long pre-date the current president.

For my part I think gas prices are driven more by refineries needing to re-start and re-hire/re-train after the COVID slowdown, plus some amount of market anxiety due to Putin's land grab.

> But if my employer gave me a choice in the matter, I'd pick a macOS machine

Provided the convenience is the same. If one is used to certain way of working with linux (may be scripts, desktop environment, or workflow - Keyboard shortcuts etc. ) then just picking a machine for "fancier option" is worthless or even annoying. Also wait to migrate scripts from bash to zsh. Again not all macs allow for baremetal install of Debian.
Obviously, it depends on what the A/B test is about. Molesting or not the customer for the sake of some shortsighted metric is a bad choice; deciding what content should go above the fold or not (e.g. Amazon places images, short description, details/specs and similar products in that order) is a good choice.

I didn't introduce the claim of leaky abstractions. The context is that the 'new' abstraction is claimed to be leaky by not providing particular performance guarantees. I pointed out that the 'old' one is just as (or more) leaky by that (or most any) definition. If you want me to cite some guarantee for the old one, you should first cite the guarantee for the new one.

What people have issue with is the effect column ordering has on the performance of fetching a fixed-size column from a loaded row and on the size of a row. Those are not necessary features and a better design at the start would have avoided it.
Merkel is pro nuclear, the public sentiment forced her hand after Fukushima though.
it exists: either Debian Testing (a week or so of proven stability) or Debian Unstable (latest and greatest).

If one follows the best practices for them[1] (installing apt-listbugs and apt-listpackages), one gets information of bugs and API-breaking changes before performing the upgrade, and can decide to pin the specific package as needed, and it will automatically get released when the bug is solved.

This is thanks to how the Debian packages treat bug reports, and the debian/NEWS file. I can't believe other distributions get it so wrong for so many decades.

Plus, these 2 distributions (Testing and Unstable) get all the automated QA usual from Debian: autopkgtest integration tests, piuparts, lintian, reproducible builds, policy conformancy..

It seems it's no coincidence that gLinux from Google, rolling release, and in TFA, is based in Debian.

But according to the article the car had a driver in it, that "got out safely".

Besides the car being a Waymo (which may or may not be part of the reason why it was "swarmed"), it must not have been such a great experience for the driver to be circled and have people jumping on the car bonnet and roof, I guess it could have happened to any car happening to pass by that intersection.

One thing that might interest people on the FODMAP diet is that the first ingredients on the list are isomalt (probably ok) and xylitol (an artificial sweetener). Hopefully the amounts are small enough not to trigger symptoms.

There's also 'Bacilac Femina' which contains reuteri and has less FODMAPs.

Thanks again!
Interesting, I was looking into Lactobacillus gasseri as an aide for uric acid reduction, to help with my gout.

I have kidney disease, and cannot take the usual gout prophylactic medications.

I read that in Japan there is a 'gout yoghurt ', called Meiji (I think) and bought some l. gasseri to try making myself.

After reading your original comment I stocked up on Biogaia. I’m 3 days into the tablet and will soon start experimenting with culturing for yoghurt. I suspect they had a decent sales bump this week.

Learning generalized concepts of FP just make a lot of sense IMO. Knowing that you can map all functors the same way wether it's an Optional, List, Future or Either is a useful tool to have. Using it in a language with syntactic sugar to compose map and flatMap (>>= in Haskell) operations helps to write clean code a lot. For me, solving problems in a functional way is not always as intuitive as the imperative approach but the end result is usually worth it. That said, FP can become a complex mess if your engineers are too dogmatic about it and bringing on new people who aren't as much into FP is almost impossible then in my experience.
Doesn't this violate (at least) the Hex-Rays license? Fun project, but how is this legal?

There are two compilers involved, Source to Wasm and Wasm to native (usually JIT).

The second could easily optimize tail calls but it is required not to do so to increase reliability (all implementations need to agree which calls are tail calls that should be optimized and the simplest way to agree is to never do it) as otherwise a Wasm modules could work fine on an implementation and be unusable in another.

The first compiler cannot, the only possibility is to use whole-program transformations that significantly degrade performances.
I think the person you are replying to is trying to say something more along the lines of "name the company so we can shame them, and avoid them", not "what is '[INSERT COMPANY]' actually.
So how much does it cost to store 1gb of data for one month on/with filecoin? I looked all over the site and there was a lot of talk about it being cheap but no prices. Is there some way to compare cost and reliability to S3?

On account of the word “coin” being in the name, I have a feeling the answer isn’t simple.
Mainly because it doesn't matter. They're not looking at the stars in the foreground, they're looking at the background which is much further away. The diffraction pattern is actually super dim -- those foreground stars are just very bright due to the exposure.
Open-Source Haskell: 21 Projects, Tools, and Libraries
It is. But only for some people.
Although this reference nicely explains the origin of the diffraction pattern on the JWT images, it does not explain why the spikes seems to extend much farther then in the Hubble images. My hunge is that the JWT succeeds much better to gather all the light into a real point which makes the primary diffraction pattern stronger too.

While this is very important for scientific work (easier to see planets!) it is less appealing to the eye. Also note that some JWT images have some faint blue streaks which in effect are diffraction spikes from bright stars outside the field of view.
Yes. But his point is that what we have been doing is more like taking on credit card debt to spend on booze than taking a bank loan to buy machinery. And assuming that being the case, your statement completely misses the mark.

Nobody is going to read that text, either. People see a box, they immediately close it. Also, even if they did read it, people don’t know what a “disk” is, nor what “wipe” means.
Do you mean VSCode’s standard git support, or is there a github plugin specifically? (Just curious if I’m missing out on something!)
This was discussed elsewhere in the thread as well - the main problem is TCO support between multiple functions - e.g. when visiting a tree with nodes of various types, such that you have visitSumNode(&total) -> visitChildren(&total) -> visitMinusNode(&total) -> visitChildren(&total) -> ...

Since WebAssembly has a concept of functions, and doesn't allow jumps outside of the current function for security reasons, a compiler can't eliminate tail calls across functions (unless it can in-line all of those function calls, which isn't always possible, nor it is always the best performance).
If one is to come up with an excuse for not understanding people, one should pick something that at least sounds plausible.
If only they had double checked their numbers...
I wouldn't know but it wouldn't be the weirdest thing they've done.
I don't mean this in a snarky way, but how would you define adding value?
Place names get translated when they become widely used in another language, this is because most "native" names often don't fit with the phonology of another language or the character set. It's particularly awkward for Turkey to insist on this name change because most languages don't actually have an "ü" letter so foreigners don't know how to pronounce it or type it on a computer.

Imagine if Bavarians insisted that everybody refer to their capital as "München".

Some people do translate their personal names. In china it's common for people to pick "english names" for interactions with foreigners in part because foreigners have huge problems pronouncing native names.
I'm suspecting that there's no hard rule for what colours are assigned to what frequencies, though "more red" in processed images probably corresponds to "longer wavelengths" in captured imaging data. There's no specific red-shift interpretation, though for viewing of distant objects (and galaxies particularly which have reasonably uniform emission spectra) "redder" -> "more distant, receding faster".

What you'd want to see specifically are the emission spectra showing absorption lines for well-known spectral bands. This shows specifically how red-shifted the light is, and is how red-shift was initially detected.

I doubt that there's an intentional mapping of red-shifted appearance + spectral sensitivity to near-and-unadjusted appearance. Though that might be possible.

In practice, I suspect the bands JWST is receiving don't map well to the RGB sensitivity of the human eye, but insteat JWST's sensitivity is tuned to scientific interests and value.
Can you give any examples of useful non-terminating programs?

It seems to me all useful programs are terminating (or, we truncate some non-terminating procedure by some convergence criteria). The question is only whether we have the logical tools to prove termination at compile time.
It doesn't surprise me at all. It's not the software, it's the hardware.

PC hardware is absolutely terrible i.e. cheaply built, poor battery life, poor quality displays, numerous bugs and Linux compatibility issues and so on. My 16" MBP will reliably allow me to work between 15 and 20 hours without needing to recharge. The mini-LED screen is far more advanced than anything on a PC laptop, daylight visible, and can go head-to-head with professional reference displays. The CPU is substantially faster and cooler than Intel's top of the line. The audio is the best on any modern laptop. It's not like there are one or two features that Macs excel at, they are better in too many ways to count.
Interesting because I was approached by two different recruiters from Google in the past few months.

I don't know if it's impostor syndrome or just sheer brand strength, but my first reaction was "why would Google be interested in me?".

Judging by the tone of those emails it might be that Google turned up the heat in HR already and people are racing to meet KPIs.
I don’t get your reasoning. I have hosted my own static site for years, but I wrote primarily on Medium today because I can get paid that way. You cannot make a living writing blogs on a static site.

Medium significantly improves your reach and access to statistics to understand readers better. Until Medium came around I had clue I could ever make a living as writer.

A lot of us use Medium because it has solved a problem long plaguing the internet: How do you get paid for creating content?

I know myself that so don’t want to sign up to one dozen places for subscription. That would be the problem hosting your own site. Few people want to have 10 different subscriptions. With medium one subscription gives access to a lot of writers.
Why is there such a distinction? What's the difference in the day to day of a SRE-SWE vs. an SRE-SE?
It is no exaggeration to say that the average Canadian knows more about US politics and how the US government works than he does about his own country's equivalents.

(Or "thinks they know", at least. The same average Canadian thinks, thanks to an avalanche of misleading "news", that "the Supreme Court[1] banned abortion throughout the US". Since the Supreme Court of Canada has never found a Charter right to abortion, the repeal of Roe v. Wade means that federally speaking abortion has the exact same standing in both countries: No law prohibits it.)

Did they pay the royalties?
I feel like I need to add my own 2 cents to this point:

Definitely ask your recruiter and have them confirm which track you're interviewing for.

They just have numbers to hit. They will try to drop you into whichever track they need to. If a recruiter ever "seemingly misspoke" and moved you from SWE to SWE-SRE, ask for confirmation and/or insist on interviewing the track you are actually interested in.
