Agreed, Mon Oncle is a masterpiece, all the little threads woven together to come out like they do. I've watched it quite a few times and I keep discovering more. And the way he takes pity on the boy to give him a bit of life outside of the sterile home he lives in is very touching.
When I self-hosted email I used Spamhaus to as a block list and Spam Assassin to filter the rest. Gmail users made up the biggest chunk of spam that got through but it was never from Google/Gmail domains, it was almost always from a Gmail user with a custom domain.

Plenty of places that take e-waste right now will refurb and resell a subset of the hardware they receive. This would be no different. It's true that this would place a floor of the money required to obtain these devices, but it's not like there would suddenly no longer be used devices for sale.

The R number depends on social practices as well. It was higher before lockdowns, but with masks and the eventual vaccine it got reduced to the 1-2 range, and later below 1. Or at least danced around that number depending on whether the lockdown was suspended temporarily or not.
The only way I've been able to tell visually so far are before/after pictures. I'm down 55 pounds after 6 months (diet and exercise) and I don't feel like I've noticed changes in the mirror. However, I've gone down a number of belt sizes and the pants I previously wore around my waist can now be worn comfortably over my gut.

Visually it only occurred to be because a friend sent me a picture from a dinner I had with them and I saw how much smaller I looked.

That’s your definition, not “the definition.”

The highest authority on this matter is the NBER. Their definition is pasted, below. I don’t see a significant decline and so far it has not impacted employment. We’re still adding a quarter million net jobs each month.

“A significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.”
Light roasts have higher caffeine and taste less burnt. It’s just a fact.
So much reminds me of Obsidian.
Given how Borg unleashed on the world as K8s came to dominate orchestration, Bazel's lack of similar uptake outside of the Google walled garden is indicative that it's not solving problems for non-Google teams significantly better than existing build tools.

Look at how much pain many companies have gone through to move to K8s from existing infrastructure, there is perceived value driving that.

Bazel lacks that perception of value.
But one‘s personal time is worth much more than ten dollars.

Even with out of order scheduling there's still use from instruction scheduling - move those loads as far forward in the instruction stream as you can - a CPU can't execute instructions out of order if it hasn't decoded them yet
The other issue is that most Americans also don’t know anything about abortion. They have opinions about things they know nothing about - when confronted and informed they turn out to be even more left leaning than initially thought. They think people abort fetuses at 8 months because they’re feeling frisky - like women suddenly have regrets after carrying something in them after six months and only decide then to abort.

Most people in the USA have brain rot and are incredibly uninformed and stupid.
> the compiler will never emit ... instructions like PSHUFB or PUNPCKxx

These are most certainly generated by GCC from C++ code (no intrinsics and such) - can even provide an evidence in the form of a codebase with appropriate build flags.

Their use is rather straightforward I think, but still.
Target also did something like this many years back: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits....
I’m in the same boat as you. Not even 20 lbs, but even 10 for me is a change in waist size and ring size. When I’m kicking butt on my exercise my wedding band starts to accidentally fall off and I can pretty clearly see a difference overall. It’s strange how my fingers getting slim is perhaps more noticeable to me than my waist or whatever, but that is my cue I’m on a roll.
Tom Lehrer is still alive and his musical career is doing as well as it ever did even if he hasn't produced a new piece in decades, he will be around for another 100 years or more. His songs have staying power well beyond the norm and his career will only truly end when the last person plays the last of his songs and no longer gets them.
Yes I think Galois deserves a Fields in his name
Yeah pour over is great. I never got into home espresso because my understanding is the technique was developed for high volume operations at coffee shops—not for a few shots at home. To use a tortured analogy, espresso is the k8s of coffee.

I buy green coffee beans for $8-$6/lb at https://www.sweetmarias.com and roast them with a Behmor drum roaster. Then I dump the roasted coffee into a burr grinder that has preset weights, so I can grind 50g for a pour over or whatever and the grinder stops when it hits that weight.

Its def the easiest way to have consistently great coffee. The initial spend is up there, ~$500 for a roaster and ~$400 for a grinder, but if you amortize it over 10 years, as I have, it easily pays for itself. The taste of the coffee is as good as all the fancy single origin stuff and when you get the hang of it, there’s really not much fuss to it.
$6,500 was a good price, I agree.
> Well, perhaps those social institutions didn't recruit the best, what about sports - if this statement was actually true, we should find best MMA fighters in places where they encounter tought times, like Russia or Somalia. Does that match observation - do they win all the MMA championships or something? It doesn't.

Just look through UFC rankings and you will see that you are wrong. The only reason that you don't see fighters from places like Somalia (because there are plenty from Russia) is that they are too poor to move to place where they would be noticed and recruited, not that they would be bad fighters. Even fighters that came from USA are mostly from tough and poor backgrounds.
Even 3 letter handles can be a bit of a drag, when random tweets get chopped off and only the first 3 letters of other twitter handles happen to match
Yeah, I think that's a significant part of the explanation. I'm not comfortable with sharing the photos, though, to be honest.
Not that I doubt you, but I'm surprised that you don't notice the changes. That's a range where there are huge differences in everyone I know who's managed to do it - particularly in the face, but in the body as a whole. I've only managed to drop 40 so far (260-220), but even then the difference in the gut is visible (even if many other areas aren't as much as I could dream, to be fair to your point).
I took a similar approach, but I need messenger and I often use marketplace.

So I unfollowed every human in my feed. I doubt I've got them all yet, a few months in, but some old friends the algorithm just never shows.

I replaced it with some groups about hobbies like fishing and motorcycling, but I'm finding even that is just all arguments, gear reviews, spam, and rule reminders.

So I'm gonna phase that out, too.

Anyway it definitely keeps me from scrolling. If there's any posts I want to see, I'll never know it and I expect I'll be the better for it.
Sure, but there's something about just logging in via SSH to a server and sending your post in one command. GH pages is easy to set up, but it's not 'hey it's all done for me' easy.

No matter what you do, GH pages requires more complexity and setup. And that's not a bad thing in this case, it gives you flexibility, but I can see a lot of people preferring prose.sh simply because they don't care about making a website, they just want a blog.
If you are going to be so obtusely literal minded as to demand a verbatim reproduction of the headline? Fine, sure, correct.

If, on the other hand, you mean whether or not the information necessary to evaluate the headline's statement is contained in the linked article, then yes it is, distinctly and clearly, in the results section.

Actually, it's a bit of the reverse. The Fields medal was established in 1936, Wolf in 1978, and Abel in 2003. And Wolf and Abel filled gaps that Fields left because of its restrictions. Further, the first woman to get the Fields, Maryam Mirzakhani, was only awarded in 2014 (Abel, Wolf are worse). I don't think you can look at any of these awards and address the gender inequity in mathematics, either.
Yea, they're platforms focused on becoming more emotionally healthy so I feel more comfortable when people can more clearly consent. While it may lead to less money up front, it may provide much less resentment and much more appreciation in the long term.

We'll see how it plays out in practice :-)

Sure. But I drink my morning coffee alone.

I don’t think this is the point the author is making. He or she is saying that they _prefer_ “bad” coffee. And yeah, drink what you prefer. I don’t see the controversy here.
It does and it indeed is controversial. And perhaps not surprisingly the more vulnerable a representative's seat is the more they abuse this. To put some perspective on the cost:

So it could provide all the US' energy needs for five years? In some ways that sounds...unimpressive? Or more like, "okay that would be cool for a little while, but then it runs out and you're at square one", as opposed to solar/wind which are renewable, or nuclear where there's tons of uranium that could be used.

I find that hard to believe. Humans don't make their own vitamin C which is a strong case for our need to eat fruit. A banana also barely has fifteen percent of the daily requirements for vitamin C. This study [1] finds that humans 200,000 years ago consumed up to 600mg a day of vitamin C - that's a lot of fruit.

The arithmetic coder in JPEG2000 is often the culprit for slow encoding / decoding.

GIMP doesn't work well high-precision files, although it's gotten better. Photoshop can deal with these, even very old versions of Photoshop.

Use OpenEXR or HDR output formats and do the tone mapping as a separate step.

Also note that plain JPEG supports 12-bit in the first place.

Austria has pretty bad coffee. 99.9% of shops sell Julius Meinl from pretty badly maintained espresso machines. And their coffee is usually burnt.

Italy has, in general, people who know how to make better coffee as they treat their machines and the procedure with more care. The coffee isn't all that better. Both Lavazza and Illy are robusta blends.

Turkish coffee has nothing to do with espresso coffee, or filter coffee for that matter. It's my least favourite one as the traditional method of preparation basically includes boiling extremely finely ground coffee in a small pot called cezve. It's over extracted, burnt and usually has to be tempered with a ton of sugar and/or sweets.

However, none of these coffees are nearly as bad as what the US folks, Poles, Germans or Finns drink. The coffee is basically old and overburnt. I guess it also goes hand in hand with preferring filter coffee.
Old iPhones don’t support latest OS and can then no longer support latest apps. Batteries get crap and the whole thing slows down.
There are low hanging fruits which would have adoption problems but that can be navigated.

However, there are very painful things like modern compilers which are massive undertakings for an old languages. It cost Microsoft 3-4 years to rewrite the C# compiler to be modern. But the benefit is a language server which keeps pace with the compiler and refactorings on the same AST (aka more stable/reliable).

I’ve always struggled with my weight, every 5 or so years I’ll get really motivated and lose 20-30kg, and then slowly gain it back over the next 5 years to hit the same point I’m at right now, about 120kg and a BMI of 40.

Reading the article I’m glad I’ve never been tempted by surgery, but at the same time, gosh it’d be nice to have my brain rewired with the stroke of a scalpel. But surgical intervention just feels like it’s too much, especially when I know that calorie counting and putting in some effort to get active achieves the results I’m after.
Ask HN: Regression Test for Cloud Resources?
Normally people deploy applications to the cloud, and testing those applications in the cloud implies that the underlying cloud ressources have been properly created. Some (large) enterprise governance models however forsee that infrastructure teams first deploy "landing zones" and application teams deploy into those landing zones. It seems useful that an infrastructure team should be able to verify, with tests, that their landing zone (and other shared resources like identity management and monitoring) has been deployed and configured properly. Our teams currently develop custom scripts that connect to the cloud's resources and resource manager and run tests against them. Are there tools (eg. Terraform plugins) which streamline regression tests definition and execution?

I understand exactly what the comment was about: there is absolutely no way to enforce something "on the blockchain" in real life.

Hence, the only thing a blockchain can be used for is an abstract token that does not have an equivalent in the real life, and thus can be used to represent anything - not just a house or an artwork or a chicken - but all of these at the same time and yet it is backed by actual energy.

And this is Bitcoin.

Every other use of a blockchain is a scam.
Yes, the creation/edition process must happen on macOS but the produced file may be exported as a text file and you get the original file and as such you are not locked in a proprietary format. To me it looks different than other image editing software. I mean, you could make the drawing without monopic with a text editor, it is just a convenience, but it is a really good one.
I talk about how Flash and Java applets can compromise the host OS arbitrarily, and you respond with a paper about how WebAssembly cannot do that but may lead to the program itself running in unexpected, isolated, ways. FTP:

Either that or I ... just drink my "regular coffee" cause ... I literally have zero problems with it.
Well. One could argue that if you have to discuss these very deep topics in a PR, you better had brought them up before coding that stuff wrong in the first place. Oh, that is not considered agile you say?

Discussing these deep topics is also socially very challenging and you need some quite grown up people to discuss them (that late after the damage has been done) without awkward "but I spent all this time" moments and at least some personal animosity. But the grown ups think and discuss first typically, which also might be why you don't see them discuss those topics in PRs...
> Unfortunately compilers can't emit FMA instructions from regular floating point math without specifying (an equivalent of) `-ffast-math`

... if you specify an ISO language standard (e.g. -std=c99). By default, in GNU mode, gcc will happily emit FMA at -O3. From the man page:

By default, -fexcess-precision=fast is in effect; this means that operations may be carried out in a wider precision than the types specified in the source if that would result in faster code, and it is unpredictable when rounding to the types specified in the source code takes place. [...] [-fexcess-precision=standard] is enabled by default for C if a strict conformance option such as -std=c99 is used.

> Unfortunately compilers can't emit FMA instructions without specifying [-ffast-math]

I would argue that it would have been fortunate if FMA was disabled by default. And that it is unfortunate that it is not.

Yes, FMA has a performance boost and (usually) better accuracy... But it comes at the cost of bit-for-bit reproducibility. If we let the compiler automatically decide when to apply FMA, then a compiler upgrade or even unrelated code changes could lead to slightly different results as rounding is performed at different points in the computation. For numerical codes in which small perturbations can yield wildly different solution paths, debugging can become a nightmare.

Of course this is a subjective preference and it strongly depends on the application domain. I agree that for some people defaulting to best performance at -O3 is the right choice.
I am doing the same. If I just need it for a month, I will always cancel it immediately after subscribing.

With this, I don't need to set a reminder to cancel it or having to pay for another month if I forget to do so.
Not in the field, but evidence is strongly stacking behind the notion that lifespan is largely related to energy metabolism. [1]

Larger species tend to have slower metabolisms than smaller species, but larger specimens within a species tend to have faster metabolisms than smaller ones (eg smaller dogs live longer than larger dogs, but larger species such as humans live longer than dogs). It's thought that part of the reason behind this odd relationship, is because there are multiple factors behind energy metabolism. One being a species genetics, another being caloric intake for instance.

It get's further complicated when studying actual cellular pathways used in metabolizing energy (such as AMPK, MTOR). Recent (even Nobel prize winning [2]) research has shown that, these pathways don't just regulate energy metabolism, they also influence cellular/DNA repair [3]. The gist being, there's an inverse relationship, where the body doesn't do well at cleanup/repairing old cells when it's busy metabolizing and building new cells (such as when your eating/growing).

"maybe the Fields medal should just lose its age restriction"

I agree completely. The IMU should take a page from other academies and have prizes for lifetime accomplishments, substantial contributions during a year or some other period, and then maybe a more minor prize for new and upcoming mathematicians. The restriction that the Fields can only be awarded to a person once is equally arbitrary and needing to change. It particularly bothers me how the age 40 restriction puts women mathematicians who would like to have children at a disadvantage.
