I don’t know of any merchants that charge extra for check processing. Depending on the volume and average value of the checks, processing fees may be cheaper than credit card interchange.

Check processing typically has a fixed cost per check. This may fluctuate at lower volumes, but the price plateaus as you reach 10K checks per month. Say you get to $2 per check, and interchange is 1%. The merchant retains more revenue for check payments over $200.

The downsides are it takes 2-3 additional days to get the revenue, and there is no notion of a “dispute” for checks. In the case of fraud, you lose. However, there is less risk of this happening in B2B sales, which is the primary use case for checks these days.

Is that +∞ or -∞ though? The problem with division by zero is not that it's infinite, it is that it limit could be either +∞ or -∞ depending on which side of the limit you look at. Therefor, it is not well-defined.
The Dutch equivalent of DCS/CPS was caught placing at least 1670 children as a way to pressure their parents to pay a wrong tax charge. The number is provisional and it might be 16000 children.

NONE of them have been allowed to go home, despite the government, the judicial system and the tax office being convicted, plus the government falling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_childcare_benefits_scand...

Before that, there were 3 investigations by parliament into Youth Services in the Netherlands. ALL 3 found the large majority of kids taken into care by the government were physically abused by Youth Services personnel (mostly beatings, sex, some being forced to commit criminal acts, some were denied medical care, ...)
Re: the Rust optimized implementation, I was able to get ~20-25% better performance by rewriting the for loops as iterators, using Rust's byte range pattern matching, and a buffered writer, which seems crazy, but it's true. I chalked it up to some crazy ILP/SIMD tricks the compiler is doing.

I even submitted a PR[0], but Ben decided he was tired of maintaining and decided to archive the project (which fair enough!).

Framework’s next-gen Laptop follows through on its upgradeable promises
For those curious about Rust optimization, the “optimized” version makes three changes compared to the “idiomatic” version:

* It uses byte strings instead of UTF-8 strings. In my opinion, that’s not an optimization, that’s changing the problem. Depending on the question you’re asking, only one of the two can be correct.

* It uses a faster hash algorithm. It’s not the first time this came up in a benchmark article. Rust’s decision to use a DOS-safe hash by default (and not provide a fast algorithm in the std, like other languages do) really seems to hurt it in that kind of microbenchmark.

* It uses get_mut+insert instead of the more convenient HashMap::entry method, because the latter would require redundantly allocating the key even in the repeat case. I’ve hit this problem in the past as well. Maybe the upcoming HashMap::raw_entry_mut will make this kind of optimization cleaner.
If the vaccine worked for more than a few months you would be correct. Everyone get vaccinated and it's over.

But the vaccine failed, it doesn't prevent infection, it doesn't prevent transmission, and it only lasts for a few months.

It does protect against serious illness though.

But because it doesn't prevent reinfection new variants have plenty of hosts. Natural immunity is better in this regard since it lasts longer.

Best option: Get vaccinated, then get infected while you still have immunity - you get all the benefits with much lower risk of serious disease.

That what I do, I try to be in large gatherings at least every 3 months, then I keep getting new immunity without getting seriously sick.

The history of outsourcing would be a great book, starting with the H1B visa, their conversion to permanent status as green card holders, becoming managers themselves, and then the manager preferring to outsource additional staffing due to affinity, thus completing the cycle. Repeat.
I don't know about BuildKit and `docker buildx`, but I've been using an approach similar to what is outlined in paragraph two to generate static executables for one of my projects.

I use a multistage build to generate a podman/docker image that contains all my build artifacts and then just copy them out of the container onto my host system. What advantages would there be in using BuildKit for this sort of thing?
If farmers are trying to isolate a specific thing in their crops, they will kill the other plants, yes!

Artificial selection is a normal farming activity. At the very least it's thousands of years old, that part isn't what the patent is about.

Look, let's get back to the original post maybe? "Suing small farmers for copyright infringement isn't very nice." It was a different kind of IP infringement, otherwise nothing is factually wrong about this statement. We have some conflict about how patents should work in a situation like this, but that's not really the point here.
Except that's not what the study says. Quoting a comment below, "The linked study (and the Merten's study it's built ontop of) classifies defaults as "structural" interventions. In the linked meta-analysis, after stripping out estimates of publication basis, structural interventions have the most "robust" evidence left (95% CI of 0.00-0.43)"
Managing contractors is a skill. India, being a major destination for offshore outsourcing has a business culture in this space that has to be managed both actively by people and by contract.

It’s no different than anything else. A home builder needs contractors to scale and needs to learn how to manage contracts and vendors as well. If you’re selling services as a contractor, how you work for a auto company is different than a bank or a government agency.

The answer to your question is always “yes”. The contractor oversold its ability and failed to retain talent. The CEO believed what he wanted to hear and didn’t didn’t due appropriate due diligence as he either didn’t trust or has already fired his own people.

I’ve never seen a successful “lets outsource this to X to save money” initiative that was a success from a best value perspective. (Many succeed in saving short-term money though) I have seen “let’s outsource this function outside of our wheelhouse” projects awarded to offshore companies that have worked out well.

Calorie == calorie is more like a loose correlation. I have successfully used purely calorie reduction strategies to lose weight and modify eating habits with some success. However there are two caveats: perhaps I would lose similar amounts of weight if calories came mostly from carbs & protein vs. protein & fat, but health impacts beyond weight will surely be impacted, e.g., cholesterol and the "skinny fat" scenario.

Annecdotally I also find that complex carbs like oats may be modestly better for weight than equivalent processed carbs but more importantly they control hunger more. A bit of shopping around will also find specialty pasta that uses a roughly calorie neutral fiber mixed in with flour for pasta that is high in fiber and has half the calories. This too appears to have a significantly different impact on appetite. (Fibre Gourmet is one such brand, texture of cooked pasta is slightly different)

So calories ~ calories for raw body needs of energy, with correlation varying on particular source pairs, but secondary effects are significantly different. Also general human metabolism is still not fully understood, with significant gaps, and anyone claiming to have "the answer" or a perfect diet are at best incorrect.

As a side note, it is difficult to manage hunger at a reduced calorie diet with only calorie-dense food, which makes adherence to a low calorie diet much harder. On average I have found that less calories dense foods tend to be healthier at the same time that I may eat larger volumes of them and feel more satisfied.

My methodology became sustainable when I stopped taking notes [1] and accepted that learning happens through repetition.

Which is to say, rereading and multiple sources spread over time is much much more effective...and rereading and repetition from multiple sources is what note taking is.

But only if you go back and read your notes. And I didn't. So I stopped taking them.

What I realize now, writing this, is my note taking was driven by fear of missing out. That's how we are taught in school. If you don't take notes during the lecture, you will miss what you need to know for the test.

Life after school isn't that way. There's no final exams every sixteen weeks, no pop quiz on Tuesday, and no problem set tonight...or at least it's all optional.

And on the bright side, to a first approximation life entails missing out on almost everything. Time on Physics is time away from poetry, geology, and the pub.

Good luck.

Ask HN: Where to start to learn 2D raster graphics development?
I'm curious where one would go to learn how to create 2D graphics like Photoshop, tools where the important subtleties like creating antialiased drawing brushes and blending modes, alpha compositing, etc, are explained to a newbie. There's a myriad of stuff scattered on blogs and stackoverflow but none that seem to really address a good learning path like so many other areas in CS.
A list of resources for you to read up on this is below.

But: science isn't really self correcting. Someone has to step up and fight to correct it, every single time. Spend some time learning about this problem - as I have - and you will find the overriding attitude is one of despair. Science isn't self correcting, it's arguably self corrupting:

1. There's no incentive to pick fights with colleagues so it almost never happens

2. Even when someone does pick that fight the institutions go to ground and defend their people, so there's no outcome.

3. The first response of journals and universities on being informed of fraud is to turn around and tell the fraudster everything, so there's no way to keep fraud detection techniques secret.

4. And usually after that they ask the fraudster to submit a "correction" (i.e. higher quality fake). The idea that you should maybe NOT let a fraudster have a second try once caught, does not seem to occur to the brightest of sparks that run our scientific institutions. There are actually cases where this has happened and then the original complainants spotted that the newly submitted correction was also fraudulent.

How do these papers get spotted? Spend time on PubPeer. It's a site where people compare notes on dodgy papers and how they're being detected. Also read the blogs of people like Elizabeth Bik, Smut Clyde, read the old blog posts by Joe Hilgard when he was still in academia, follow https://twitter.com/steamtraen

tl;dr There's a range of techniques used for different fields, often by looking for re-used images or data across papers that shouldn't be re-using them, or by spotting internal inconsistencies in reported data tables.
> I wish git did is to be able to say that a new branch is based off an old branch (not a commit that used to be that branches head).
> Then if I change the base pr in progress (say via rebase or via squashing or the like), I can easily rebase my new commits in the new pr on top of the current state of the branch.

You'd still end up fixing all the conflicts your branch made either way, and also breaking the flow of commits if you didn't update the message. So why bother doing all of that instead of stashing your current project, rebase, and force push it? I believe that's supposed to be the standard approach to handle conflict changes in PRs.
But to imply that the inspection time doesn’t affect the solve time at all seems totally disingenuous. I agree with the thesis of the video. “Time to solve a cube” should mean exactly that; how long, from first seeing the cube in front of you, it takes you to solve it.
Supremes have said that cookbooks and other fact collections don't necessarily have copyright protection. Recipes definitely don't.
Probably because whoever wrote the extractor didn't want to learn how to use some custom hashmap written by the guy who wrote the compressor. Or maybe didn't even know it existed.
In fact, the money not paid to France would be simply stolen by local kleptocrats
The extent of my knowledge of religion in France begins and ends with this posted article.

It doesn't say that France is totally secular, only that public displays are treated very differently. I should be free to not have religion jammed down my throat when I am out in public. I shouldn't have to watch people pray. That was my takeaway at least.
Because it's far easier and cheaper to teach people to chew properly. I can't imagine it would be comfortable having a filter lodged in your throat either.
By 12 I would sometimes (through choice, or because I'd missed the daily bus) walk 4 miles to school along country roads, before cellphones were a thing.

I'd also go camping, alone or with friends, in the middle of nowhere, with my parents only knowing very roughly where I was (e.g. "we're camping on such-and-such estate, near the area with the wild boars" :)

Now, as a parent, I keep catching myself being a helicopter parent, and hate myself for it! Nothing catastrophic happened to me or my siblings, or anyone else I knew of. So I don't even know why I act this way now.
> TLDR: Basically, want to be able to state that branch depends on branch (which is currently commit id x) but if I rebase, use whatever the current commit id is for that branch, not whatever it was when I first made the branch.

As far as I can tell (the “problem” you’re describing is a bit vague) this is already how git works with the sole exception being that git doesn’t default to a particular branch for a rebase?

eg) all you seem to de describing here is a bog-standard:

(on feature-branch1)> git checkout -b feature-branch2

<do some work on feature-branch2, return to feature-branch1 and make some more changes there, now you want to catch feature-branch2 up with feature-branch1>

(on feature-branch2)> git rebase feature-branch1

<now we’re branched off of the new tip of feature-branch1, not where we originally branched>

All it seems like you’re asking for us to drop “feature-branch1” from the rebase?

This is great! Many of my questions on Stack Overflow are unanswered, or answered by me months later. Maybe the unanswered questions could be used to create a scaffolding at Wikenigma:

Looks like Quora doesn't quite get it though:

https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-find-unanswered-questions-o...

I enjoy dabbling in fringe topics, and feel that the greatest danger to understanding is certitude. People get so certain that they know something that all further consideration of the topic ceases and they sit in satisfaction even when answers are contradictory or don't connect to greater understanding. Debating someone who uses circular logic feels like banging one's head against the wall.

On a related note, we need a better framework for metaphysical discussion. I've noticed a huge increase in woo woo phenomena since the pandemic. It's probably just a change in my own attention. But since science and religion can't explain consciousness, I feel that there is more to reality and the mental models we use to understand it than is generally discussed. Wikenigma could use pages on synchronicity, manifestation, placebo, etc:

https://www.wrf.org/complementary-therapies/power-of-mind-pl...

“In a recent study of a new kind of chemotherapy, 30 percent of the individuals in the control group, the group given placebos, lost their hair.”

For the placebo effect to be real, it would mean that the mind creates physical effects in the body. I take it further in my own life by believing that the mind creates the body and possibly the universe around it. Or at least, the mind/body/universe are somehow involved in co-creation. That's heretical to science, but, people experience it every day. So what the heck is that?
That's almost a prototype unit, which I would expect to be difficult to repair.

It's a nice idea but I haven't heard anyone describe an infection control approach that could have prevented the spread of this virus, short of isolating every single person in the world in their homes including all medical and food production workers, which is obviously impossible.

It seems quite possible for two things to be true: 1) The common sense notion that manipulation works; and 2) Social science couldn't find the signal above the noise.

Hardly, overturning chevron especially in the polarized grid locked congress of today would be chaos.

Also practically the legislative branch cannot reasonably dictate laws about every single thing . Neither are they experts nor are is there remotely enough staff in all of Capitol Hill to do that.

Overturning chevron would take away force of law from regulation and make governing more legislative and judicial rather than executive.

Government cannot function with regulators unable to do anything unless congress or court saying so explicitly.

That doesn’t mean we don’t have a ton of over regulation or bad ones, removing Chevron is not a solution for that though.

PS : Arizona where this story is from already overturned chevron at the state level
I have the same concern. Nudging is an umbrella term for a vast number of very different activities. For example, nudging is a term used for motivating more carefully designed road markings. I find it hard to believe that some of these newer designs don't "work" better than the old ones, some of them are quite ingenious. At the same time "nudging" is also used for all sorts of public policy framing issues that are more questionable and have probably harder to measure effects. As you say, each "nudge" needs to be evaluated individually.

Yep. Twice. Once for a big job ad scraping operation (we did this for ofccp compliance) where 24 hour dev enabled our scraping to not miss when our competitors would take 24-48 hours to re-tool when a targeted site changed. The second time was a webdev agency where we routinely were able to win business and delivery by promising to be done in 1/2 the calendar days as our competitors on the same bids. In the second situation I wouldn't have been able to hire enough people locally to just double the local man-hours anyway (small midwest town).
