Depends on the details. For example, AWS Glacier may be cheaper than S3, depending on the frequency the images get accessed (it probably won’t be best for you, but there’s a possibility that a mix of S3 and Glacier fits your use case better than putting everything in S3)

Glacier certainly will be slower, though.

You also may have requirements w.r.t. access time, may want a search facility, may want the ability to serve multiple image sizes, may have legal requirements such as the GDPR, copyrights that differ across the world, etc.

I dunno. I myself was pretty clueless about PCs at that time. I owned a Kaypro from the early 1980s that ran CP/M, but I never touched a PC running Windows (or even just DOS) until 1994. They weren't part of the centralized IT departments I worked in. They WERE part of a sorta grass roots revolt by the user departments, setting up their own Lotus spreadsheets, whatever, as a way of bypassing the slow bureaucratic centralized IT departments.

No, the point of this study is "those who claimed they reduced caloric intake but did not lose weight did not actually reduce it -- they're poor at estimations, so they got it wrong, and this actually works".
I think the point is that this possibly doesn't really matter and there is no level of building that will keep up. It's cheaper to move to SF than it is to build a house in SF and always will be. Allowing more housing won't help until you get to an very massive number of units as you'll simply have even more people moving in which will fuel the crisis even more until construction cannot keep up. Worse construction prices will skyrocket which will impact anyone wanting to do any renovation or maintenance (including existing landlords) which will drive rents up even more.
> AFAICT, Zig is halfway step between C and C++ for desktop and mobile developers.

What does this even mean? Zig very much has embedded use as a target as well, with freestanding use being a first-class citizen. The majority of the standard library works without an OS (and if you wish, you can provide your own OS-like interfaces quite easily, and use the OS-dependent parts in a freestanding environment). I've written a UEFI bootloader in Zig, and right now I'm using it on an RP2040 as well, cross compiling from an M1 Mac without the need to install any additional cross compilers.

I'd argue that it might be even better for embedded than C/C++ eventually, as unlike them, allocation is even more tightly controlled, with a convention that only functions (or datastructures) that take an allocator as an argument will allocate memory on the heap. Future versions may even restrict recursion in certain contexts to guarantee max stack depths.

Because a virus looks nothing like cells that would make up any of those organs. When you examine enough samples and suddenly see some cells that don’t look like they belong that’s a pretty good indicator of a foreign body.

We know from the Oracle vs Google court case documents[0] that through the Android OS Google had made 22 billion $ in profit, as of 2016. It is a drop in the bucket for a company the size of Google, and the platform was obviously not bought for the direct profit generating capabilities of it. But it seems it has certainly paid for it self.

Here's the BNF page for naltrexone: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/naltrexone-hydrochloride/

Here's the NICE guidance for alcohol use disorders: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg115/ifp/chapter/treatment...

If someone's had a medical detox (which they'd get if they were drinking more than 30 units per day (in one litre of 40% ABV spirits there are 40 uk units) they should be offered naltrexone when they've done the detox.

Frustratingly, if someone hasn't needed that they're offered psychological support first, and only get naltrexone if that doesn't work.

If the patient knows they want naltrexone and clearly says "I'd like to try medication, can we talk about naltrexone?" then the doctor should consider prescribing it, but that requires patients to know about it and ask for it.

https://bnf.nice.org.uk/treatment-summaries/alcohol-dependen...

"In harmful drinkers or patients with mild alcohol dependence, a psychological intervention (such as cognitive behavioural therapy) should be offered. In those who have not responded to psychological interventions alone or who have specifically requested a pharmacological treatment, acamprosate calcium or oral naltrexone hydrochloride can be used in combination with a psychological intervention."
Surely you can see that those are a very small subset of the software available in the world, and most software is not like that. It is not "user-is-an-idiot philosophy" to have developers actually do their job, which is to make the tough decisions about how the software should be designed for purpose, instead of offloading that task onto the user.
I feel you are cherry-picking those South Korean numbers. If you look at the latest ones that started construction in 2009-2012, it's taken 10 years (and some are still not started).

It's not uncommon IME that doing the work to come up with a reasonable estimate is 80% of the final work.

E.g., addressing a scalability issue might require a bunch of profiling work, then a bunch of experimentation / thinking about developing a lock free algorithm. Or it might turn out that reducing false sharing a bit will give large enough benefit on its own. Without having done most of that I won't know whether it's a few days or many weeks.

The exact quote from the article is "In fact, many Haitians are descendants of slaves ripped from Benin...". That statement makes me think they were citizens of Benin who were taken into slavery.

But they weren't. They were slaves owned by the Kingdom of Benin and sold to the French.

Recycling is a last resort.

The mantra goes "reduce, re-use, recycle". In that order.

Recycling is a last resort. Please don't jump to it first. That's what people who want to virtue-signal do, not what smart people do.

Electric cars definitely cause less harm to the natural environment and people's health wellbeing than fossil fuel powered cars, so "reduce" is covered, even if not optimally.

People are also definitely re-using lithium batteries.

Since lithium batteries are a new thing, there is not yet a great enough flow of worn-out batteries to justify recycling at industrial scale as yet. Those as exist are being stockpiled for this, though. And a lot of R&D work is being done to set up for recycling.
Because that’s not traditionally what readme files were for, and this one is much more of the traditional style of readme file, not the more recent style where a GitHub repository is treated as a landing page and the canonical source of information about a project, and the readme file presented up front.

Traditionally, readme files were for what you might want to do once you had received the code, which most obviously means how to build it. They were certainly not intended as landing pages, as GitHub has co-opted them (and some, perhaps most, other forges have since followed suit). We’ve reached the stage, in fact, where a readme file in a repository is regularly actually something that should be ignored as irrelevant when you obtain a copy of a repository. And quite possibly that it’ll be chock-full of obscure HTML markup that tries to achieve certain appearances by depending on GitHub’s stylesheets and abusing elements. So much for “read me” and the intentions of languages like Markdown.

A better link for this HN submission would be http://prima.eu.org/, which is the actual project page. The GitHub repository currently linked is only the source code. It’s reasonable for it to have a link back to the site for more information, as it does (though it’d be better more prominently placed at the very start), and there’s no call for it to include the screenshots in any form.

Yet, C++ regained share by getting more complex.

Language complexity is a poor measure. Better is the complexity of using a language to achieve an aim. C and Pascal are pretty simple as languages, but they make it substantially more complex to complete a task, because they lack the expressive power needed to help any.

C++11 is substantially more complex than C++98, but much simpler to program with. Rust is both simpler than C++ (at surface level, because it leaves behind cruft C++ cannot) but more complex because it makes greater cognitive demands (to satisfy the borrow checker) and also because it lacks powerful features C++ offers. C++ is better able than Rust to package semantics in a library and deliver that to users on command. But Rust is way, way better in that way than C.
The author suggests that comparing Arm vs. x86 is easy due to a Geekbench test comparison. That's one of very few cross-platform benchmarks and highlights the fact that the author isn't very well-versed (if versed at all) in competitive performance analysis or PC benchmarks.

Geekbench is a terrible proxy for ANY workload, those subtests all run within the space of a few seconds -- they aren't meant to actually represent performance in sustained workloads.

Additionally, the smashing together of results from a wide range of incomparable applications, including unfair weighting that skews for memory, makes the cumulative scores largely worthless.

Finding other relevant benchmarks for comparison is difficult, especially given the locked down nature of MacOS.
> reading between the lines

Don't do it. You have been here for years, you should have noticed: do not read between the lines. Do not overread what other said. Do not attribute intentions. Do not paint ideas that come from you on the expression of others.

In the past very few days I had posted about the buffers of undetermined positions¹, and hours before I had a post of mine literally re-translated in ideas that certainly were only in the mind of the "translator", parallel with other interventions that surely had skipped the duly operation of understanding where possible and stopping inventing statements otherwise. It is really to be avoided.

You exercise doubt on your interpretations just like you exercise doubts on all your ideas - and more, on your habit of forming ideas.

Yes, the chief point in engineering a "driverless car" is that it does not crash on things. I «substantiate that argument» - which a difference is there between KPIs and constraints - beyond the beginning because nobody told you that the engineers succeed.
Your comment made me curious, as your purchase is a camping Titanium cup. By coincidence I am also interested in one :-) But at the same time, your comment illustrates the prime example of the terrible conundrum facing who wants to buy at Amazon.

Normally Titanium is quite expensive, and although pure Titanium cookware is one of the safest metals, it's heat distribution is not really ideal. Some companies titanium cookware has titanium alloyed with other metals and materials. This provides end results, with a non reactive cookware that is now not as expensive as pure titanium.

In other words as titanium isn't the best conducting heat, there is the possibility was coated with other metals than can potentially leak into food.
See [1], [2] and [3]

So to make this type of purchase, personally, it would be quite important to know who the vendor is, where are they based, are they on a country with reputable manufacturing controls?

Looking at the 3rd party seller you provided as example, you do notice their guarantees, certifications and mention the product is 99.8% Titanium. But who are they? Where are they? Who controls them?

Looking at their 3rd Party Seller shop in Amazon, there is nothing to easily identify the seller. A series of stock photo images from outdoor camping events...Further research shows they also have a page at Alibaba, but again no mention of who they are than can be easily found. Just a lot more stock photos of outdoor living and camping.

Invoking all my Internet search Fu skills, you end up finding they are a medium sized manufacturer based in Guangzhou.

At the same time they are also listed on a random Reddit comment as a generic manufacturer of cookware of difficult to verify quality... See [4]

So what is an Amazon customer to do? Their research for Amazon? Trust the Chinese authorities quality control?
Maybe the products are really excellent but it's way too much research. Will go to a reputable camping shop, and maybe buy from a reputable manufacturer...

MFA for every login is a very good idea. If you're having to log in to the same service over and over again within a short amount of time, someone is doing something very wrong.

Sending out company newsletters seems like a nice way to let everyone know what the company is up to. Not sure how you go from that to reminding lowly engineers of their "insignificance".

Social events are a great way to get to know your coworkers and to improve cooperation. Awareness training (I'm imagining you mean things like Security Awareness and such) also seem like an overwhelmingly good thing.

Everyone has actual work to do. All the stuff you perceive as meta comes with the territory of working anywhere with a non-trivial number of people.
My company right now does OKRs with priority levels for each task. If you make it a P0 then you're saying it will get done this quarter baring really unexpected circumstances (ie: shit happens, we understand). P1 may not get done. P2 is even less likely to get done. This creates a natural distribution by holding the date constant and varying the work done by that date. Personally I find this more reliable and easier to communicate than holding the work constant and varying the date of each item.
Surely the historical context is important in understanding how things came to be? If an export-based economy is cut off from international trade because it isn't recognized as a nation, and also forced to pay off a massive debt, surely that influences the way it develops? Surely it discourages the evolution of sustainable systems and encourages unsustainable ones, similarly to how poverty creates those issues for individuals?

Note that I am not claiming to know anything about Haiti's history, I've listened to the Revolutions podcast series on it and read a bit but I know very little.

Still, the situation at hand is primarily fault of the government - which should've taken care of it at the very least 5 years ago, or sooner. It isn't a problem exclusive to Tesla, Mercedes has a very similar feature called Drive Pilot (introduced in 2013 IIRC) and except for the most recent model year a malfunction is a problem of the user just like with Teslas.

BTW this isn't even about any lawyers and EULAs, there's simply no legal way how a company like Tesla or Mercedes could take responsibility for a crash, so IMHO Tesla is at least nice enough to spell it out, unlike Mercedes.

The economic divergence is shocking -- although not as shocking as that of South versus North Korea. The Dominican Republic's GDP (PPP) per capita is ~10x larger than Haiti's, whereas South Korea's is ~25x larger than North Korea's.

The author is right that soil erosion, caused by overuse of land without replenishment, is one of the most important factors. Consider: So much land in Haiti is in such poor shape that for decades the country has not been able to produce enough food, in sufficient variety, to feed its own population. The DR, in contrast, is a lush paradise full of greenery everywhere, capable of feeding itself well, whereas Haiti is full of deforested, eroded land, much of it unfit for agriculture. You can see the difference in satellite pictures from space.[a]

However, the author mentions only one of the root causes of soil erosion: ideological government efforts preventing the emergence of large-scale agriculture in Haiti. There are at least two other root causes contributing to the poor state of land, as Jared Diamond points out in his book Collapse[b]:

* The DR's soil is naturally more frequently replenished by storm systems continually coming from the Atlantic, bumping against the island's central mountain range, and causing nutrients and minerals to flow down large rivers to the DR's valleys at a much greater rate than in Haiti.

* From early on, the DR government has actively defended the country's natural greenery against deforestation -- with armed forces who would shoot and kill illegal tree loggers!

Surely there are many other factors at play (including the fact that many Western governments had a de-facto policy of ostracizing Haiti in international trade throughout the 19th century and for much of the 20th century), but Haiti's inability to feed itself well, decade after decade, due to overuse of land without replenishment, is possibly the most significant factor.
