The aircooled flat-four in the Citroën GSA had a grapefruit-sized resonance chamber on one exhaust manifold to match up the exhaust pulse timings between the left and right bank. It also revved to about 8000rpm, which was hilarious away from the traffic lights.
If a country is at the point of sacrificing its own civilians as shields to protect their soldiers, they should consider that they have already lost the battle and should consider negotiations and/or surrender.
This is such an intellectually dishonest question.

You mean the thing that makes up the extreme majority of every living being is unsafe? Do you legitimately believe it is necessary to study and prove that?
I definitely thought it was going to be funny, but instead of "ha ha, we're all going to die!" it was "oh god, we're all going to die!". Still, by the time I got to the final bit (if you've read it, you know the part I'm talking about), I thought it was really excellent.
CS4 & CS5 had a complete adobe acrobat and distiller included. That sw today is gutted as a rental product, with various module 'features' you can pay extra for that are effectively identical to the original complete package. I don't think the product has evolved significantly, but the monetization monitoring and charging system certainly has
Thanks - the rationale behind paying for larger groups is that it is for small businesses and creators.
One can always find larger groups on Facebook and Reddit but again it won't be of the same quality as a smaller group. What I have observed is that once the number of members in a community becomes large the content goes off-topic and moderation becomes a full time job for moderators. Also, communities tend to grow over time. Someone may not be interested in the same niche topic after few years - others who just discovered it maybe too excited. For instance what is a newcomer/stupid question for older members could be a very legit doubt for a new member. For older members these repeated newcomer questions bring down the quality of content in the community.
Thank you! :) you do not know how many issues I spotted on older books I formatted. Paragraphes randomly moved on the top, images streched as I was build more pdf.. all human errors that can be - at least - spotted.
I'm not an intellectual property lawyer, but I'm sure you're right that there's no _legal_ ambiguity with these "purchases." The point is that ambiguity is deliberately generated in the mind of the consumer in order to have the marketing benefits of a sale (and create the fiction that the user has property, which if mishandled would need to be replaced), while also heavily restricting use of the content under an onerous license.
GraphQL seems to be one of those 'bootcamp technologies'. I see it being advertised as a skill a bootcamp teaches more than I've ever seen used. I can imagine that for a junior developer the endless freedom might be quite paralysising.

What I don't understand about GraphQL, is that the majority of data people deal with is simple and relational. It's rare enough to have a deep (more than 4 layers) relational data structure that needs to be queried at once. And usually those data structures are relational to ever smaller relations; think user->company->address->country->county. Solving this with GraphQL just seems a bit bizarre when you can write a view of this data.

Maybe though, it owes its popularity in bootcamps because it allows unqualified developer to forget about writing the query layer.
Lenovo also makes a NON-MECHANICAL keyboard that otherwise hits the mark - https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Compact-Keyboard-Trac... that also pulls down demand for an opensource trackpoint design that attaches to a mechanical keyboard.
> 1) That it doesn't deal in graphs, but trees, and 2) It's not a query language, but an RPC language with result subsetting

I'll resist pedantry on point one but I totally agree on point 2. Plus its syntax poorly reflects the data 'schema' it's defining.
I had trouble trying to run libc5 era software a few years ago. This wasn't the kernel but the distro did not make it easy. I wouldn't expect them to keep maintaining libc5 packages 20+ years later either.

I think if you do anything GUI-ish over the last 20 years there's been many shared library breaking changes. But that'd be true of FreeBSD too since those dependencies are just the same when they live in ports.
Also, consider whether they actually want to. At some point, some people have had enough of life and don't want anymore, even if they're healthy (I'm not 40 yet and start to feel it ;))

But as mentioned before, get some kids, sure they will make YOUR life comparatively miserable, but your parents will love it ^_^
You can use GraphQL for BFF btw.
"Just Wrong" is a bit harsh. Monads are there to simulate side effects within the language, as opposed to the side effects that are built in to the language.

WARNING: the below contains math. Ignore if math makes you mad.

If "side effects" means the availability of certain operations such as mutating state, throwing errors etc, then monads certainly do have something to do with side effects in that these operations can often be described by an algebraic theory and algebraic theories have a direct correspondence to certain kinds of monads (the monad of free algebras of the theory).
How much of NRC regulations are based on 1980’s scaremongering and FUD, vs. real and material risks of Nuclear reactor designs?

I suspect there is some malaise and misallocation of resources where we could benefit from very strict regulations where it really matters.

Reminds me of the story of 3D printers where Stratasys had 80 patents expiring between 2005-2010 and as soon as that happened, 3D printers were all the rage. Sometimes, it’s not the fundamental physics, engineering or manufacturing issues; but purely artificial boundaries created by, in this case, IP regulation (patents).
Because you don't know what you don't know, and neither does Buy'n'Large. In a second hand bookstore you'll come across things in the same category that are useful and important but don't come up in a recommendation engine because they're not popular. The deeper into a field you go, the more noticeable this is.

Also, the second hand bookstore isn't maintaining a secret police file on every micro-action and momentary impulse you exhibit while inside their property.

Just bear in mind that this is just opinions and hearsay on my part. Like, I think there's value in relaying what I think I know and what I've heard, but I'm not a cryptographer, I paid almost no attention to the PQC stuff (in fact, I pretty much only ever swapped PQC into my resident set when Bernstein managed to start drama with other cryptographers whose names I knew), and there are possibly other sides to these stories. I've seen Bernstein drama where it's pretty clear he's deeply in the wrong, and I've seen Bernstein drama where it's pretty clear he wasn't.

The suit is good. NIST isn't allowed to clown up FOIA; they have to do it right.
Thank you! So it's like a warm sponge bath.

I've gotten good enough at Linux to where I don't need to constantly look stuff up after long periods of use, but not FreeBSD.

Which is why I love FreeBSD so much. It's consistent, clearly explained, thoroughly documented, powerful, and flexible. I have a home server (just upgraded to 13.1) that I go months at a time without logging in. And while I do tend to forget a lot of important details, looking them up is incredibly easy.

I don't really care about what software FreeBSD uses, just that it is consistent and well-documented.

Plus, the whole architecture of it fits comfortably in my head. It is so nice to reason about.
This comment would invite argument ("a bit out of scope", i.e. if it were slightly modified I'd be open to it), which is what OP is trying to avoid.
The Iconic Giant TCR
Libraries have existed for much longer than Wikipedia. And probably showed up before schools in many parts of the world.

So if access to info was all it took schools would have never been invented.

Access to info is just one piece. The other piece is a good guide/teacher who knows which routes through the ever expanding library of knowledge are fruitful and which ones to avoid. Justly randomly meandering around is a very inefficient and time consuming way of working out what the right paths are.

Third piece which most people sweep under the carpet, and most critical to Learning is practice. The brain hardly ever registers anything deeply without repetition. And creating an environment where that practice is happening is not straight forward. Its more tempting to go look at something novel than to read the same thing again and again till its on your finger tips. Good teachers create such environments. The Internet is great in the access to info dept, but there are other pieces to the story for Learning to happen.
The kind of quality they’ve been imprinting in their games in the last 10 years, I’d call this garbage collection.
Rust Is Beautiful
Politely, but firmly inform them that you will be willing to take his pull request under consideration when he's implemented the feature, and that, if it is not rejected, may be included in a future release.
Mark as 'wontfix' and close. If they reopen, ban them, with a comment explaining why if you want ("I'm banning you because your feature requests are not welcome").

It's really important to communicate that you are distressed. Remember, it's quite likely they think they are not causing any distress, and probably would prefer to know than cause any additional harm. Banning them accomplishes this. It also has the additional benefit that if the person is not being conscientious, they no longer can annoy you.
> Which is kinda the point.

I thought I’d get picked up on that part. My point was that shells are just a UI for invoking other applications (like a desktop shell but CLI). That’s the precedence and anything that’s shell-like but doesn’t follow POSIX is still inclined to emulate the same behaviour of killing applications because that’s the behaviour that people expect after decades of POSIX.

So it really is more about killing applications than killing tasks.

> Do they?

That was the original design (there’s even standalone executables for those commands included in coreutils for historic reasons). However Bash might have since optimised out a few forks.

The shell I’ve written certainly doesn’t fork() every built in either. However that doesn’t change how ^c’s behaviour was intended.

> Besides, is it relevant to the discussion at hand?

I’m talking about the behaviour for ^c and how it is handed in the shell, as a direct response to your comment about it. So yes. It’s exactly relevant to the discussion.
it's actually quite nice
Why 0x5f3759df? (2012)
Don't make perfect the enemy of good.

A bit of radioactive waste is the least of our worries relative to global warming from CO2 and not all nuclear produces waste that lasts thousands of years. Some newer nuclear plants cannot melt down and have no risk of killing people by radiation.

Right now we don't have sufficient means to produce excess or store solar power for nighttimes or wind for windless times. Nuclear can make up the difference when solar and/or wind are insufficient. It's the best interim solution we have. Without nuclear, temperatures will become much higher than if we build more nuclear.

Interesting. Exercising has positive effects on me, but my skin seems unaffected. (I certainly believe you, though.)
I already did. Certain downtown and midtown areas in towns and cities all across the country. Mainly you want a place with the necessities nearby like groceries, a few decent restaurants, a gym, and possibly a store that sells general items like a hardware store. This covers 80-90% of the need for a car. Take uber, a ride share, or reimburse a neighbor for the few times you need further transport. Many suburban areas of cities have areas like this too. Stay away from newly developed suburban areas though as they are indeed car wastelands.
In defence of greeting people: there's an enormous variety of communication styles, and I don't like passive aggressively pushing your particular preference.

Also, there is utility in such an opening, besides being an unnegotiable bit of politesse for some: the internet isn't at all easy to communicate over, precisely because you have no idea how long someone may take to respond and what style of communication they may prefer. Which is ofcourse no problem, you don't owe the asker anything. So, a greet can be a low key way of gauging that timeline, and help you reach out to others if you are under some time pressure.

Instead, how about you get over your wish to feel or appear helpful, and instead be upfront yourself: announce on your website that only well formulated and detailed queries will be responded to, with no promises to a particular timeline.

Fuck Brah, have you taken psychedelics or other hard drugs? The comedown feeling where you nervous system feels on fire and your skin feels tight it unmistakable for me. I might possibly feel like that from a placebo, the placebo effect can be very tricky and you kind can play tricks.

But I’d say 99% chance no. I’d know the difference.

This is obviously talking about doses closer to mega dose than micro dose. Although as time went on, even small doses that wouldn’t get me much of a buzz would still ruin me for weeks afterwards.
There's a mixed bag of articles surrounding this. If you've bought the game on Steam or other platform of choice, you will retain access to that game. Online game play and DLC that requires the on-line component is going to be retired.

YouTube Automation Persuades People to Spend Thousands Creating Video Businesses
There's a ton of great quotes in this piece, so it's hard to pick just one, so I'll juxtapose two.

> We love the narrative of rugged individualism, the freedom to help ourselves out, choose our own way, and make a future.

> When we choose to go through a life transition without the help of others, we steal away from those around us the profound joy of building up a future – real acts of hope, faith and love in the world.

As someone who started out on a major life transition just a year ago with the explicit advice to deliberately form a supportive network, this rings resoundingly clear. Most people want to do good by helping, but sadly the opportunities to do so are abstractly detatched from day to day experience. I know there will be people who will want to respond with, "you know you can just volunteer," but the emotional texture of volunteer work is qualitatively different from being asked, "I'm going through something hard. Can I count on you for support?"

The individualism described in the article contributes to the atrophy of emotional vulnerability and forming support networks is an antidote. I hope in some small way the article inspires someone to do the same.
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the only two sunscreen ingredients the FDA considers truly safe sunscreen ingredients, and as someone with a basic understanding of biology, I tend to agree with them on this (1). Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles refuse to penetrate the skin even when rubbed into open wounds and they have negligible effects in vivo when used topically. Additionally and crucially they block UVA, the major skin cancer promoter, which won't give you sunburns. Zinc oxide is the most effective broad spectrum sunscreen. Titanium dioxide is less effective with UVA absorption. All other sunscreen compounds function after being absorbed into the skin. Unfortunately they also get into the bloodstream where they act as hormones such as estrogen mimickers (unintentionally).

The only downside of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is that they are awful to apply (you need a good technique) and you will probably look awful after application. It may be better to apply less material at a time but more often. Most manufacturers recommend every 80 minutes. I think this is defined by FDA regulation.

Since zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are semiconductors, they can both reflect and absorb UV. I think there is a large gap in understanding by sunscreen manufacturers of how these nanoparticles perform on a quantum level. I hold out hope that some chemist can further engineer these nanoparticles perhaps through an innovative coating to further improve performance and appearance when applied. I think there is still a lot of money being left on the table and these compounds are under appreciated, not understood well, nor developed enough to this day. Fortunately the sunscreens containing them do work today.

> Ubisoft about to take away games you bought

The headline seems click-baity, and strictly speaking it's wrong - they're taking away one (online-only) game, the others are losing online features. Ubisoft pulling online support for multiple games would have been a more adequate title.
They're not referring to amplified sound. If you press a record with too much bass on it the 'wobble' of the groove itself can end up so extreme it'll make the needle jump out - no speakers required.
DAC jitter is not the major problem people make it out to be. even the lowly, uncontrolled, $2, +-20ppm frequency stability crystal oscillator has less jitter than is audibly perceptible to a human, especially given that the jitter is dependent mostly on temperature variations.

you are right about bit depth. a jellybean 24-bit ADC has around 8 bits of noise floor, maybe more. To improve that, you sample at an insane rate (making jitter even less of a significant factor in the final audio) and average your measurements, and you can get 2-3 more bits out of that.

my overall point is that these problems you hear from people trying to sell you audio hardware are almost all not problems at all, as far as human ears and human perception are concerned.
Why general artificial intelligence will not be realized (2020)
In addition to already mentioned steps,

0) Read the code base docs (or README).

1) Pair with someone with knowledge of the code base or ask them to walk you through the code base.

2) Identify the public interface to interact with the app/api. How do consumers use the software. Play around with the app or api to get a sense of how things link up.

3) Identify various tools used in the code base(db, messaging, external api, etc). Now you know each tool is setup somewhere and used in one or more places.

4) Identify the patterns and conventions used (CQRS, mediator, dependency injection, middleware, pipelines, logging, etc). Now map the flow of each public interface using this knowledge.

“Pleasure flight” sounds a whole lot more scandalous than a sightseeing trip.
I've been downvoted but what you state is exactly right: they have to decide exactly how confident they are in their own process holding up in court (which isn't exactly the same thing as it being accurate) - and to whatever degree they are not confident, back it out to a price change to de-risk the outcome I mentioned.

I agree with you that they seem confident, but the entire back and forth around mDAU originated with Musk and my belief is that choice of dispute was taken in the interest of setting things up so they won't actually go to court. The gambit of course may fail and it may go to court.

Ask HN: Starting a tech company in Ohio (or anywhere non-SV) – pros and cons?
I'm a software engineer working in the bay area and the ever increasing high expenses in exchange for a degrading quality of life/safety are starting to bum me out.

I've never started a business before, and I'm wondering if I should try something new but in a place like Ohio where I'm from.

Has anyone left the bay area to go start a company somewhere not as tech heavy? What was your experience?
The next paragraph after the one quoted above gives some hope for reducing unneeded parts of the NRC review process:

"While successful, the level of effort for reviewing the NuScale DCA may not be repeatable for future reviews. Significant resources were expended on issues with little bearing on the safety of the design, matters well beyond the purview of reasonable assurance of adequate protection. Several issues were left unresolved by Staff, which could have been avoided were the recommendations here in place. During the course of review, NuScale identified several overarching problems with the review process and review criteria that could yield significant efficiencies in the review of future applications, without impacting the effectiveness of NRC’s review."

Refering to you 3D printer history, most technologies don't take off till the first round of patents expire. I think one reason tech makes such great strides during war time is that all war related patents are ignored or cross licensed to everyone else.
