I'd like to see a video showing the experiment with some of the more complex interferometer setups so that it's easier to understand the coherent effect.

I've seen series like this before:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4E7FAAD67B171EBC

But they never seem to explain cases where the expected outputs are all destructive.

I can dig down the reddit hole with lots of interesting ideas and explanations:

But what I really want to see is a good experiment on video that show the effect.
I read somewhere that literally all humor stems from "incompatible frames of reference" and I thought that was interesting.
The NSA can get all the information it needs without all of this commercial surveillance.

The NSA can also get all the information it wants from companies while they're still banned from selling it.
I and many other believe that the government should not have the power to interview, detain, or do anything else to a person based on the contents of "offensive tweets".

Just because something is codified in law doesn't make it right.
My grandfather is 88, he has definitely slowed down quite a bit lately, but his recipe for a long-life was 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day, alcoholic for most of his adult life, rarely slept more than 4 hours a day and I never ever, saw him eat a vegetable or break a sweat from exercise in my entire life.

I figure if I got just some of those genes, and since I never smoked, not an alcoholic and eat pretty well, I should live to be 150 or so - either that or he will be a pall-bearer at my funeral.
I'm rather curious about the "non pythonic" part of your comment. The % formatting to me has always felt like a compatibility thing with C and I've always found the {} format style much more pythonic. f strings seem like a logical extension/continuation of that formatting style into something that works really quite well with python in my personal experience.

As an example I think each iteration of formatting is more readable and arguably more pythonic:

log.info("%s is logged into service #%d" % (user_name, service_number))
log.info("{} is logged into service #{}".format(user_name, service_number))
log.info(f"{user_name} is logged into service #{service_number}")
Voluntary interview in the UK is basically an interview under caution where they aren't arresting you first.

They could arrest you to interview, but its agreed they won't.

If you decide to not bother doing the voluntary interview, arrest becomes necessary, and you get arrested.

Arrests can show up on enhanced DBS checks, and are a real pain in the hole to explain to employers down the line. Hence there being a non arrest option.
It's absolutely normal in the US at restaurants which emphasize food quantity, which is a lot of them.

If you're dining at a trendy spot in NYC or SF or LA, then you won't be taking leftovers home simply because portion sizes are small, or you're headed to a bar afterwards, etc. It's a different lifestyle.

But if you go out for dinner in most of the country where portions are supposed to be massive, it's pretty normal that after a round of appetizers, you won't be able to finish more than half your entrée. After eating, the server will ask if you want to "take it home" (sometimes using the phrase "doggie bag") and the answer is almost always "of course, it'll be great for lunch tomorrow", and they wrap it up for you. You're just driving straight home anyways.

If it's a business dinner or a fancy first date then maybe you wouldn't... but also maybe you still would. Leaving half of a delicious steak uneaten is pretty wasteful and can be kind of a bad look.

Feel free to browse the Cheesecake Factory calorie contents if you don't believe:

https://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/sites/default/files/202...

Their chicken katsu entrée, for example, is 2,520 calories. A regular teriyaki chicken plate is 1,550 calories. Of course you're taking it home.
> A law exists in the UK about using public communications networks to send grossly offensive or indecent communications.

Such a law used to exist in the U.S. as well. It was ruled unconstitutional, because the U.S. actually has meaningful protections for free speech (or 'freeze peach', as it's also sometimes known). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act : "...[I]t attempted to regulate both indecency (when available to children) and obscenity in cyberspace".
> These problems should be addressed at the OS and device level first. Policing app makers is not enough,

I read the FTC press release and it talks about companies in general and data in general and doesn't even mention apps, devices, websites or advertisers.

Not sure why you think they are only going to be policing app makers?
The point is that in that particular case the police could simply have looked at the tweet to decide whether an offense had likely been committed. They didn't need to visit the person, and they certainly didn't need to arrest him.

I believe that the original tweet by Laurence Fox did not receive a police response, and neither did the likely thousands of retweets.

The police grossly overreacted. Even their PCC criticised them and everyone seems to agree that no crime was committed (well, apart from a fringe who were the actual target of the original tweet).
Nothing that you have said, all of which I agree with, justifies police involvement. The tweeter is a moron and he is being used by right-wing ideologues like Fox to promote their agenda. But so what? Being a right-wing fool shouldn't prompt a visit from the police looking to "check your thinking," as a constable in a similar recent incident put it.
There is a fundamental limit to ICE efficiency dictated by the laws of thermodynamics. You can push that theoretical limit up, but it is dependent on having a higher compression ratio. Diesel engines use higher compression ratios for ignition, but they are dirty (in comparison). Higher compression ratios tend to result in more NOx emissions too, so for the regular car makers there is a direct trade between efficiency/emissions/reliability. But even if you aim for highest efficiency at all cost, you'll never get close to 100 percent, as the theoretical max never goes there (or does it at infinite compression ratio?).
You know, it was only a few decades ago that promoting gay rights was considered obscene speech and illegal. Remember that the laws used to arrest meme posters can also be used to arrest civil rights activists.

You and I are UK citizens for the moment. I assert that your comment here is grossly indecent and offensive to me. Will the UK government summon you for mandatory interrogation due to my complaint, or will they dismiss me out of hand?

Obviously the latter, therefore the content itself is held to some standard. Show me that standard, and I'll show you an ideology.
Strongly disagree. Most new grads who gets offers from Google, Microsoft or another big-league software company, should absolutely take it. There are only a few very specific smaller companies working on cutting edge ideas and it's unlikely that a new entrant in the industry will be able to identify them.
It is noteworthy that the "meme" being shared was pride flags arranged in a swastika pattern, and that the person who originally made the image runs the Bad Law Project, whose webpage(https://www.badlawproject.com) contains statements such as this:

>Bad law is political ideology disguised as law. When we see police officers marching with demonstrators and waving political flags and chanting activist slogans - that is bad law.

>Our Equality Act 2010 is bad law, because it does not treat all people equally and can be interpreted in such a way as to discriminate against people with certain views or beliefs.

One of the people they feature on their website as oppressed by "Bad Law" is Calvin Robinson, who has this to say on twitter:

>“No LGB without T” is a highly political statement. What does a mental health issue have to do with sexuality?

>The trans movement is discriminatory towards women’s rights and female-only spaces.

>Anime is degenerate. There’s a reason most trans activists use anime avatars.

As far as I can tell it's an anti LGBT organization, and focuses on legal defense of people who engage in hate speech, and the repeal of anti discrimination laws.

Whether or not an arrest is warranted is another debate, but the it's important to highlight the context of the group who made the image to understand their motivations behind creating the image, and what it implies about people who share the image.

1. Didn't read the article (they dropped 13% of the entire page weight). The websites are already well below of "today’s average"

2. Don't understand the impact of having a page that loads instantly at the government level. These websites are not for fun, they must work well for everyone.

I suspect you could do something like this with MinIO. That seems to be their thing.
I'm amazed at how much use I've gotten out of learning C printf format strings. A lot of these format specifiers are the same, Java also uses them, and I'm sure more languages took inspiration from them.
Sympathies. If it's any consolation, Janacek wrote his string quartets in his 80s.

Go to Burning Man. I spent a month on site at a regional burn; in the month since then, I've published two personal projects and been much more productive at work. I never found that spark on return from "normal" holidays.
For me, The Grey Album, Girl Talk's "Night Ripper" [0] and "ALL DAY" [1] really changed what it meant to "remix." I really liked the Mashup Scene when it was done to expert levels.

YunoHost 11.0 (Bullseye) Release
And at Seattle prices, that's $150, so I don't exactly see what the purpose of your anecdote is other than to mention how pricy your electricity is.

Edit: But even at $500, that's pretty much the price of a low-spec VPS or VM per year. So for a fairly low initial price to buy the server, you're getting far more performance for the same price you'd pay someone else to use theirs.
I'm not so sure. As a result of this invasion, Ukraine has gotten immensely more powerful with a demonstrated western backing, both on the theoretical geopolitical level, and the active day-to-day reality on the front.

If they were to pull out, Ukraine would continue to take back Crimea. They would probably sweep the Russians out of Moldova too. They may plausibly assist in a coup in Belarus. That is to say, Russia doesn't have the ability to walk away without Ukraine hitting them several more times.

Fighting to a loss doesn't actually avoid these outcomes but it... buys time for other shit to happen? An openly pro russian second term for trump in the us, for example.
Yeah I didn't have enough knowledge to a offer a contrary and wanted to understand this opinion through sources since I hadn't seen these takes before.
Imagine for a moment that the situation was reversed. An LGBT activist would retweet a meme comparing the Catholic church to the devil. A conservative churchgoer would get offended and would report the tweet. Do you think, the police response would be 100% identical?

Selective enforcement of unenforceable rules is a century-old trick. Here's a relevant quote from Atlas Shrugged:

You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to
rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well,
when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it
becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens?
What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced
nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of law-breakers—and then you cash in on guilt.
Despite the criticism, this post is currently #4 on the front page.
On the one hand, I personally enjoy exercises like this, and the end result is quite pleasing to look at. On the other hand, the whole idea is kind of funny to me.

In my experience, a proclivity to programming serious low-level code in C very much comes with an intense defensive reaction to things like "metaprogramming using the C precompiler". At least I still vividly the remember my co-workers' reaction to the C code I wrote as an intern, when I tried to be clever.
Since many HN'ers live in the greater Seattle area, it's important to be aware of the Tacoma Smelter Plume:

https://ecology.wa.gov/Spills-Cleanup/Contamination-cleanup/...

For almost 100 years, the Asarco Company operated a copper smelter in Tacoma. Air pollution from the smelter settled on the surface soil of more than 1,000 square miles of the Puget Sound basin. Arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals are still in the soil as a result of this pollution.
I work on a project that's basically a mini-OS designed to host WebAssembly applications.

The OS parts need to run on bare metal and do all sorts of cursed shenanigans, where Rust's separation of safe and unsafe code lets us better focus on proving to ourselves that the unsafe bits are working as intended (we also test our unsafe code under Rust's Miri interpreter/sanitizer for extra confidence). IOW, the killer feature is low-level control plus a reasonable expectation of safety.

The actual WebAssembly interpreter is also written in Rust, which is a good fit because inefficiency in an interpreter leads to inefficiency in anything running in the interpreter. The killer feature here is performance plus safety.

The overall package is bundled up into a CLI app that lets you deploy an instance of our OS with your application running within. Rust has a fairly nice wealth of libraries that make this pleasant, from CLI argument parsers to cryptography to OIDC and beyond. And it all gets packaged up into a single binary for easy distribution (even the OS and interpreter parts, which get embedded directly in the binary via `include_bytes!`). The killer feature here is great platform support (including cross-compilation) and small binaries (though you may reasonably disagree on "small"; altogether the binary (again, including the OS and interpreter) comes out to 25 MB).

Finally, Rust's lack of a pervasive runtime and great WebAssembly tooling means that it's easy to compile Rust applications to run on top of all this as well.
We are using Rust to build a fast log event database. The workload includes a lot of asynchronous networking I/O and parallelized CPU-intensive work, like indexing and SIMD-accelerated string search. There are great libraries for what we need. The performance and low memory footprint are quite useful.
I normally try to avoid posting a comment that echoes others, but I will make an exception this time.

I am old enough to remember issue after issue in the 90s of Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Scientific American, and other magazines wherein there’d be a breakthrough that promised to revolutionize the world. Then, you’d read news off Yahoo or Fark that would describe a young wiz kid’s new invention. Nothing happened. Ever.

Due to this inevitable hype train that lacks any kind of stopping ability, paranoid types would start thinking that the oil industry must be involved in stopping them. Not a bad assumption given things that megacorps have done in the past, but it is generally bad policy to invent large nefarious schemes with zero evidence.

As a younger guy, I was always intrigued and would then start drawing and writing about the world to come! It was so enjoyable and the crushing disappointment would come over the months as nothing more was heard or seen. I awoke to the reality that people run risk calculations on business, on machinery, on changes, and if the financials aren’t viable, things don’t happen. Additionally, young inventors are often seduced by patent purchase offers. Then if megacorp X has a bad culture that can’t produce a truly new product… it dies. Beyond all of those challenges, you have regulators to convince as well. Of course, here in the good ol’ USA, regulators don’t seem to care toooooo much about safety. Paper thin cars with zero crumple zones? okay. SUVs without doors, roofs, accurate steering? okay. Trucks and SUVs with very high rollover potential? sure. Non-lockable differentials? absolutely. Massive lithium batteries that catch fire somewhat easily? Why not.

Note, I am actually fairly libertarian and don’t support regulation in general, but I hear very frequently that automobile regulation is big reason for innovation being stifled, and in this case I do not see how that could be even remotely possible.
I'm a NetBSD developer but I don't have a recent x86 laptop, it is only in the last year that packages like Firefox and LibreOffice have got too big to run on my old laptop and I have started to think about buying a newer one, everything works fine on the old one.

People fix the problems that they see, but if developers don't have a need to buy new stuff for themselves then newer systems won't get support.
Makes sense, in a way.

What doesn't make sense is calling that "voluntary", because it clearly isn't voluntary when the other option is be arrested.
>While the police overstepped in this case, the article clearly wanted this specific take to be posted to spur discussion and clicks.

Good to know some people are more concerned about the reporting on overstepping than the overstepping itself.
> because the people who produce hardware don't share with the public (and with the people with the skills and interest to create non-user-hostile software) the information necessary to run that hardware, artificially restricting the market to their business partners.

That's a claim that needs some supporting evidence.

To my knowledge the vast majority of hardware documentation is publicly available.
I think you're wrong- a huge portion of the US population just wants to be left alone. What you see on social media is just the vocal minority.
> Docker existing shouldn't be an excuse for npm behaving like this ;)

I don't care about the direction of causality, I just want the stupid thing to run on my computer and not pollute my home directory,and docker solves that and solves it well.

Edit: Although actually about the only time I'm touching node is to ship it in a container image for deployment on a cluster somewhere, which is even more compelling.

Darren here - PM for GitLab Runner. At this time, we aren't considering adding Podman to GitLab SaaS Runners on Linux. I created this issue, so please add comments there so we can continue the discussion.

I've written a small automatic file organiser in Rust that I run in a Docker container on my NAS. Docker reports that the container is using 1.5 MiB of memory, so that's pretty nice. Pretty sure I wouldn't have achieved that if I wrote it in Python like I normally do.
I dislike that so much. They're always the ones that are allowed to be bad it seems?
If you're dealing with big companies, they way well put in the contract with you that you can't use their logo without permission.
That's why I said "by default". I have done the IPMI toggles needed to lower the fans but it's still not quiet by any stretch of the imagination.
While I agree this would be ideal, actual prices on cars actually wouldn't be possible in the US. For many (most?) states, for cars/trucks, you pay sales tax based on where you LIVE not where you purchased the car so the price would be different per buyer.

Also, for most cars, paying sticker would be a rip off anyway. Unless there is a shortage going on, no one expects to pay sticker price.
My understanding is that there was OS version years back that added EPUB native support, but Amazon never properly announced it, it just quietly happened. It's taken a while longer for the Send to Kindle tool to update to add .epub file format support, but people have been sideloading EPUBs over USB for some time now.
That's a lot of hopium here. The problem (around here) is that the sort of people who write these blogs and/or frequent Hacker News mostly would be harmed by this kind of development.

I wouldn't. Bring on the new Hypercard.
Yes, hiring is not the only area where OP's points hold true.

Almost everyone is either worn down by overwork or societal issues. Many fall into both categories. Apathy, as you note, is a common defense mechanism.

Can anyone think of any services that have gotten better and stayed that way since 2020?
It's not gone, just rusted. The oil to fix that is simply spending time in a creative space. Keep making time for yourself to build something. Even if you sit at a bench for 2 hours and do nothing (I bet you won't) it's moving you more in the direction of creativity again than any amount of time on a computer or doing chores will bring you.
One purpose of government in the UK is law writing, so the Communications Act 2003 is absolutely their business.

As to why the behaviour needs legislating: because the British social contract required it, because in British society they're willing to trade the right to say grossly offensive things to people, for protection against hearing grossly offensive things. Lots of reasons, it's fine for them, you don't often hear clamour to repeal the law, they don't have the same issue with it that you do. So who are you to tell Brits that they shouldn't have a law?
