One note on small towns: most of the people there aren't transplants, so you get their culture with them. American cities have a reasonably standardized culture, courtesy of hundreds of daily direct flights to each other. Small towns are still highly regional. Not saying there's no difference between Seattle and Miami. But most people on HN could find a social group in both.
Not so for Muleshoe, Texas.

This is almost certainly going to be a rent-seeking venture that attempts to sell "freedom of movement" by having something that feels like student accommodation for adults and small families... a kind of shared living space that can be rented month-to-month with some perks like community spaces and services, pre-furnished, etc. To sell a lifestyle.

Of course that comes at a cost, one that very few people can afford. At least, it will be unaffordable to most. It is always true that more people than one realises is actually awash with money (thanks to the prior generation benefiting from incredible growth of their assets) and for them this freedom of movement by renting on a rolling short-term basis and upping on a whim will allow them to further access high paying work.

I'm really not sure that what housing needs is for large-scale VC money to be poured in (and the corresponding expectations of return on that).

Will it be profitable? Yes. Is it ethical? No.
> TS "compilers" basically strip out the type annotations, they don't care about the validity of the types, so you'll be missing out on the main reason to be using TypeScript.

I guess I'd want a Typescript compiler that does the "type checking" before stripping out the type annotations. Like that's how TS is supposed to work.

If ESBuild doesn't do the type checking, then it probably doesn't fit my need.

Edit: In fairness, if my IDE does the type-checking, this is almost good enough.

That's a lot of words to find out exactly zero about Flow and what it's doing, for which the buried link to the website also does nothing to explain.

Seriously this "MFA" shit has gotten ridiculous. I don't want to open my email and copypaste crap every time I want to login to a website, and I don't need another email telling me I've logged in "from a new device". Your website is not that important. Yes, yours.

Hey, Google! It's time to redeem your promise.

Almost four years ago the Google blog post on Pixel 3's Titan M [1] stated:

In the coming months, the security community will be able to audit Titan through its open-source firmware.

However, as of today, the source code still is not available to the (security) community.

>> Thus, one has to either claim a very strong non-monotonic relationship for intelligence and these outcomes, such that 130+ Mensans can be at elevated risk, OR one has to conclude there is a strong sampling bias.

To be fair that mensa sub is as cringeworthy as you would expect
You are right, the danger is there. It's up to everyone to reduce the power of the special forms - here [lambda, def, if, let, quote, macro, style, script, require] - depending on the level of security required for the wiki. A good compromise between unlimited document creation and secure document sharing. Same thing concerning the choice of server or client for page calculation, personally I like the idea of offloading the former and loading the latter, the server being only a remote neutral storage. And you can instal the server inside your computer, it becomes a local application, you will be able to share dumbs file if you want.
That actually sounds pretty cool! If that's _not_ what Flow is, I hope somebody does roll with that idea.
I'll be curious to see what they come up with

Your input isn't really helpful because, e.g. "getting groceries for 2 weeks" is not something that somebody who doesn't drive can do. Your experience of your small town (which I'm sure is pretty great with a car), isn't applicable for somebody who doesn't drive.
ha, you beat me to it by milliseconds
I think VCs reflect the market. Alot of the fundamental new things have been done already. So if you’re looking for new sources of huge returns, you’re looking for ways to do things differently vs inventing some new technology.

The other thing is that you have more really rich people who control lots of money without a lot of governance.

> All 4 are solved to our liking. Once we really need Kubernetes, we can do the switch.

Indeed, but this still doesn't mean it's a sound technical decision to build a bunch of custom tooling ontop of a dead and soon unsupported foundation that very few people use then realize too late that switching to a supported platform isn't as easy as you'd have hoped.

I'm not comparing Swarm to Kubernetes, that's been done to death, I'm merely pointing out it's odd that you're spending time and energy building commodity features that already exist in k8s and are not core to your product.

Good luck though!
Yep, its one of these, but 3D printing will not work here. The original part is some kind of injection molded, ABS or PC with 5-30% glass fiber content. In other words a very strong type of plastic, which was not strong enough for the job.

FDM printed parts are inherently much weaker than injection molded ones, simply it breaks very easily between the layers. Even if you print it in the right direction it will be much weaker. Maybe parts printed with continuous glass fibers could hold up with the original part, which was crap in itself.

Until there are affordable printers that can print metal this will be crap by design. Or I could buy a CNC that can work with steel :)
I... If we're going to argue the temporal component of planning you better not look back over the last 3 years...
You probably replied before I added the bit that suggests in America it's still legal to use leaded fuel in racing cars, marine and farming equipment (as well as aviation, as you mention). I found several posts from people saying that they buy aviation fuel because they don't like ethanol for their lawn equipment, and presumably people informed enough about the issue to intentionally buy leaded avation fuel would know about other options available).

You do get alkylate gasoline, maybe that's what is being sold:

> The availability of alkylate petrol is limited. The actual alkylation process to produce Aspen is a much more advanced and expensive process which only a few refineries in the world can produce. Even if new ways of producing alkylate petrol is developed, regular petrol will still be the dominant type of motor fuel in the world.

https://www.buyrealgas.com/states.html

I found this website, that lists places that sell ethanol free gas, and the number of them that appear to be Marinas, combined with the bit above about lead being used for marine purpsose makes me think they're just using lead.
It’s worth reading Ms Schultz’s other articles; if you do, you may come to the conclusion I did, which is that she is a very skilled provocateur, and always finds just that angle in whatever topic she is investigating.

Her hack job on Thoreau demonstrates this [0], in the selections of his writing that she reproduces and her at best inability to read his words (at worst willful misrepresentation them). It is easy to say that the “[Vision of Thoreau as a national conscience] cannot survive any serious reading of “Walden.”” It is much harder to know how to read Walden seriously.

“The rest of the country ignored it”

Is this how local residents feel? I find this sentiment rather confusing. Rural places tend to be distrustful of central government. Meaning, they are happy to be ignored by “the rest of the country” since those outsiders don’t share their values.
We did something similar with a move to Columbus, GA. Cost of living was super-low, but 200k people means you get theater, airport, etc.

One thing to keep in mind as you get older: smaller places may not have all the medical facilities you need. For example, if you get an unusual cancer or need a transplant, your family will be regularly shuttling you 2-3 hours to the nearest large city.

I think that being ~50-60 minutes south of Atlanta would be nice. It's small enough, but you can hop right up to one of the world's busiest airports and get a flight to about anywhere.
Law is still very lucrative if you attend a top 12 program and are going into Big Law, with starting salaries of 250k+. Alternatively, opening up your own firm can be a lucrative option, gave a read over to the following FATFIRE post: https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/w3390g/38_year_old...

There's a huge infrastructure and zoning problem that incentivizes some jobs to be in transit-friendly places (professional services - so they have easy access to their customers) and others to specifically not be in transit-friendly places (manufacturers - so they have easy highway access for shipping). If you're living with someone in the other category of work, at least one of you is necessarily living in a location that requires commuting where I am.

I have the short end of that equation, so I'm commuting 20 minutes by car (vs. nearly 2 hours by bike or by bus). It just doesn't make sense to have transit go regularly enough or direct enough to where I'm commuting to (one rider buses are worse than cars!!).
Certain books need to be physical. Flipping back and forth through a calculus book is much faster than through smartphone.

I have a feeling that many towns in Rhode Island might fit your criteria here. The state's culture is generally about things being close to each other as any driving more than 30 min will get you out of the state anyway. Having BOS airport an hour drive away is a blessing too. It's cold in winter though. But I'd say you kinda get used to it.
There's a thread on the user forums with an example of doing that, with some images from various of these AI image generators. I think the most obvious flaw with the idea is that you can feed in a prompt like "a prawn and a horse are waiting in the railway station", and the image generator will happily produce an image missing at least one of the keywords, or weird things like a horse coloured like a prawn... So the images look cool but fail as cues to remember all the keywords that are supposed to be prompting you to remember the pieces of the character.

UDM Pros include their own local Unifi management runtime which will administer the full local network.

After the security incident a few years ago, Ubiquiti pushed an update that let's you login to it via a local credential rather than their cloud identity server.

I don't see anything in UDM Pro's Unifi that is dependent on their cloud (other than checking for updates)

It is interesting how PL used to be central to AI (I remember the strong association of AI people and Lisp from my era). Of course, neural networks and deep learning changed the focal points of the area - in a good way - which makes a lot of the old work seem interesting perhaps only historically. Times do change, I suppose...
I wish Canada would do a similar call for comments

Why do citizens get tracked while buying bread, when actual National Security is exploited from afar? Where is the accountability for what has already transpired?
The problem I have with exploring neighbouring causal links is that when overdone it can lead to analysis paralysis.

I often get stuck simulating too many different branches in possible futures and casual links to the point of slowing down my present capabilities.

My GF calls it overthinking, and not in a good way.

Perhaps I just need a bigger brain with more processing power.
This is my favorite chess variation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bughouse_chess
I thought the castling section meant, not that they could castle multiple times, but that unlike normal chess they could still castle after moving the king as long as it remained in the home row.

You might very well be correct though. So I agree with the previous poster that there's too much ambiguity here.

One thing I'd like to know is the ELO rating of the variant creator. Is this a game that someone who understands standard chess very well came up with and play-tested, or is it a game that someone with passing familiarity with chess thought of off the cuff? If the latter, the chances that the game is a well-balanced variant are not so high.

Also, is "baring" a typo for "barring"?

Finally it should be noted that dice chess is already a thing:

> While the top VC players may have earned the respect by themselves being visionary entrepreneurs (once, decades ago in many cases), the rest of the VC market is filled with also-ran investors who have never been practicing entrepreneurs, following markets like lemmings and looking for a relatively quick buck while not even understanding the markets they invest in. When I hear someone is an investor, especially if they're not one of the handful few of well-known investors, I just think to myself "banker". I don't know if it's always been like this, but it certainly feels like it's gotten worse.

Funny you say that because a16z was a top-5 (maybe even better) performing VC in the 2010s and the guy who wrote this article is the Marc Andreessen who created Mosaic/Netscape.

I think this just goes back to the classic "live long enough to see yourself become the villain". I mean seriously, a $350 million round to a company that doesn't yet exist and is led by a bona fide fraudster. Boggles my mind.
Rainwater unsafe to drink due to chemicals: study
Suggested model: Feynman diagrams.

Many people have seen these squiggly little diagrams of subatomic physical processes, such as for example x-ray radiation scattering off of an electron. Each individual diagram has an order, related to the number of nodes in the diagram.

In one domain of physics, quantum electrodynamics, each higher order contributes a smaller incremental amount of accuracy to the calculation. Roughly, one might imagine first order gives 90% accuracy, second order gives 99% accuracy, third order givers 99.9% accuracy, etc. In this world, you don't expect the second-order processes to blow up in your face. (technically, this is due to small coupling constants)

However, in other domains (quantum chromodynamics, which describes processes inside the proton, neutron, quarks and gluons etc.), the second-order processes can be just as, if not more, influential than first-order processes. Now you have a problem if you ignore second-order processes, as the first order calculation might only give you 10% accuracy, the second gives 20% accuracy and so on.

When second (or third) order processes are not insignificant, that's where they can return to bite you in the seat if you ignore them, aka 'blowback'. The difficulty then lies in determining whether or not such second order processes have this potential effect in the system of question.
A good simplification: Toss a coin before each play. If it lands on a tail, you lose your turn.
Blitz used to be a fork of next.js, now we're trying to make it a framework agnostic releasing it with support for next.js and other frameworks will be added in the future
The people on that thread are very dope. I've filed tickets with Denton before and he's ridiculously thorough. My mesh is a little complicated on my side, and he was super patient as I walked through the relevant stages of determining where and why I was getting packet loss.
With the rise of quality how-tos from places like Digital Ocean, vendors/suppliers/package maintainers, good blogs (not all blogs are "good", not all "good" how-tos are on "good" blogs, I know), places like LHT didn't have as much of a reason to continue

Looks like the presentation is over ten years old.

Here is the author’s URL for this presentation.

https://www.lukew.com/presos/preso.asp?19#events

He has place and dates for all the instances where he presented it. Maybe there will be something on YouTube.

But these are back to 2007, digital video cameras and production standards for tech conferences won’t be to the same level as those today.
How is the Blitz different from Remix? They both seems to have similar goals
JITs (as those found in V8, JSC, SpiderMonkey) can theoretically compile better code than static compilation approaches like C, C++, and Rust. It's because the runtime can collect information about what is being run and then generate code accordingly.
Childish title, is the content any better?
That's really cool. I never found it necessary to do this. I'm a little bit liberal in regards to security local, so I wouldn't want that to transfer to a server accidentally. I just deal with it and get out when I am not using it.
I'm a physics major, unfortunately. But i have taken some basic courses in number theory & analysis. As far as i can tell, the argument looks interesting (can't find any serious fault in it). However, i can't say anything conclusive. Maybe someone else will.
>I'm not sure, but my gut feeling is that every roll above 3 and maybe even equal to 3 is an immediate checkmate or at the very least a crushing advantage. Like, rolling a 4 on the first move wins the game, rolling a 3 wins the queen, ... that much tempo is devastating.

That advantage is held in check, so to speak, by the check limited turns. Once a piece has put an opponent in check, it can't move again. Other pieces cannot put the opponent in check on the same move. That still creates the possibility of checkmate in one turn, but remember that the opponent will likely also get multiple moves to get out of the situation. Assuming that the in-check player can use all of their moves to get out of check, they might get 3 or 4 moves with which they can wipe out the advantage gained by the other player on the previous move.

Of course, if the in-check player only happens to get one move then it is probably over. Basically, this injects a significant level of chance into gameplay and it speeds up the game. Its really a different game. The more I think about it the more interesting it becomes.

To make it more even handed and less dependent upon chance, it could be done with only 2-3-4 move turns. Being allowed only a single move after an opponent had 4 moves is a disaster. Or maybe a limit on the delta between move counts for successive turns.
