Most of my machines have modern disks. I think the oldest disks I run are recently purchased 70 gig 2.5" UW-320 SCSI disks for about $15 each from eBay. It's amazing how wonderfully compatible SCSI is with other SCSI.

The version of gcc in NetBSD-9 is 7.5.0, and all of the architectures run the same version. gcc is a bit memory hungry, but it's telling that it can still get things done even when it doesn't have much.

I'm testing NetBSD-current with gcc 10.4.0 on a Mac LC III+ with 36 megs of memory, and it was able to build perl all by itself. Granted, it took nine and a half days, but it succeeded!

What country are you in, and what charger are you using? US 2-prong?

I saw this once with a 2009 MacBook Pro when using the charger with the 2-prong adapter. A 3-prong grounded adapter would fix it.
You may be accurate (or not) in your assertions but I would be wary of citing "usnews.com", when using it as proof that US universities are the "best".

I think Americans are generally very biased when looking objectively and rationally at their own country. E.g. Looking at Iran as a barbaric backwards country, when the US just banned abortion and has spent the last 50 years killing more people in international wars than any other country.
Because I don't want to have to read and figure out each person's bash idiosyncrasies, bugs, etc. in pile of undocumented scripts to add a new task that runs a new test case. Just gives you a framework to put all your tasks in one file, document them, and find and run them easily.

If bash works for you, stick with it. It does not work with large teams and people who aren't deeply experienced in all the footguns of bash in my experience.

I have to say, this surprised me. I had to reread the intro again, because I didn’t see the author refer to any of that, and I thought I must have misread the article.

But no, he neither says they are secret, weird or even different. He literally writes “ In this article, we will take a look at some of the common vegetable cutting techniques used in Japanese cooking.”

How does the intro play into any of these things? Japanese culture seems to have been using these cuts for an extraordinarily long time, and the techniques appear to have been developed in isolation to the development of western cuts. I don’t see people complaining about articles on French-style cuts not noting that these cuts are the same as Japanese cuts…
> Tesla makes 1.5 million EVs/year at current run rate, and is targeting 2 million/year by end of year.

289 million vehicles. At that rate, it will take over 100 years to replace all ICE vehicles.

> You need not replace every vehicle right away, just enough to replace the largest consumers of fossil fuels.

You mean semi-trucks and busses? How many years has Tesla-semi been in development hell now?

Electric semi-trucks will eventually come. But at this point, I'm thinking its going to be Fuel Cell electricity through Hydrogen rather than batteries.
Ultimately, this is correlation, as there's no consideration (for example) for socio-economic status.

More accurately would be: A degree and it's type out perform other degress as well as no degree at all. That is, and the data / examples in the article support this.

Furthermore, average is always a deceptive metric. In this case, it hides the degrees that don't out perform no degree.

Of course education is important. These are simple questions about the integrity of this report / analysis.

Yeah, there is generally no PTFE in the middle of anyone's PEX or copper system. Thread sealant only goes on threads, and PEX systems are crimped together and copper systems are (generally) soldered together. Threaded fittings are expensive and so they're avoided when possible.

But, either system will have often have PTFE at any terminations where transitioning to other fixtures via threaded fittings. [0] And occasionally there are brass fittings in the middle of these systems which are threaded and those will use PTFE as well.

>EDIT: A better link on the idea of the "corporate death penalty" (actually quite a good read in itself) [2]

Okay, but isn't "corporate death penalty" equivalent to a fine that exceeds the value of the company? If we're having trouble fining companies for even 1% of their market value, then demanding a 100% fine seems a bit premature. The whole situation feel like people wanting to reduce wealth inequality by demanding a communist revolution, rather than something more reasonable like higher tax brackets.

The situations aren't comparable.

One charge of fuel for a nuclear reactor lasts for years, while natural gas gets burned more or less as fast as it is produced (there's some storage, but it's certainly not measured in years).

If a bad actor cuts off the supply of uranium for your reactor, you have several years to find a new source. If a bad actor cuts off your supply of natural gas, you'll have a crisis in days or weeks at most.
What short term exposure? if it's in the rain in Antarctica then you can bet it's in your water, vegetables: it's likely a lifelong exposure.

I agree whole-heartedly with OP's use of "braces around variable names where they aren’t strictly needed". I have two reasons. First, consistency is nice. Second, they aren't needed now, but invariably you will end up coming back and adding to the script, and will end up needing them.

OK, maybe I have 3 [I mean 4] reasons. 3) if you always put the braces in, it won't break your script when they aren't required. However, if you don't put the braces in when they are required. it will break your script. 4) often putting the braces in when they are not required makes the script easier for me to read. I often use spacing that is not required for the same reason.

I'm not saying I never break my own "rules" (they are really more guidelines than rules). You will find variable names used in my shell scripts that have no surrounding braces, but I probably use more of the "unnecessary" ones than a lot of people do. And yes, I'm aware that sometimes not having them makes me less consistent. Everything has a balance, people just differ on what style provides the balance they prefer.
The article mentioned Edge Wallet and Messari, those are very professional and ethical companies. I’m sure they can find other legitimate mail providers, but it’s a shame that Mailchimp decided to blanket-ban a whole industry.
The implication, though it's still quite conspiracy-minded, is that we're just as credulous today about things that fit within our worldview, the current paradigm. And utterly blind to what those things are, they just seem to be how the world works. Yet future generations will boggle at the the things we believed.

I'm not sure that's necessarily fully true - most likely we're more rational than medieval peasants were, while they were probably more pragmatic than typically believed. But it is thought-provoking.

I don't necessarily use Unity, but I do work with git on extremely large codebases. Teaching your friend to write gitignore files and understand VCS principles will pay dividends down the road, particularly if they're planning on doing any serious work. Otherwise, it's like training a pilot to fly without teaching Air Traffic Control.

Github provides a Unity gitignore template, maybe it's best to start here? https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignor...

Can you name a mostly capitalist country? Most countries have a significantly socialist element, greater than 30% of the economy.

For example, the government sector makes up a third of New Zealand GDP. https://www.statista.com/statistics/436523/ratio-of-governme...

Also if you look at how you “spend” your own time you might find that a lot of it is not on purely capitalist hours, but instead time is spent on hobbies, sports, children, friends, family and other pursuits that would be regarded as non-capitalist.

Edit: I would be regarded as a capitalist within New Zealand (I am a successful founder, I don’t much believe in agricultural/industry subsidies), but I would be regarded as on-the-left in the US (I’m generally supportive of government health systems and social equality).

I measured and split the latency between the main tasks of a single frame draw.

The main culprit was network delay as I am transmitting raw pixels (one u8 per pixel) compressed with zlib. That's a hit of ~140ms for half a screen.

Next in line is the screen refresh (unmeasured, perceived).

Then the optional post processing (~20ms for half a screen), and housekeeping, like keeping track of dirty regions (about as long).

Lastly writing to the framebuffer (less than 20ms, I don't remember exactly how long).

I took great care to optimise the process, and my next step was to transmit multiple pixels as a single u8 int, the physical display cannot render 255 distinct shades of gray.
The difference is that we certainly have approved new car safety features in the US in the last 22 years, not all of which were domestic in origin. How many regulatory categories can we speak of that have not allowed any new entries in that time frame?

In that time frame some of these ingredients like bemotrizinol have been available to hundreds of millions of people. If there was a risk of something like thalidomide babies here, it would’ve been observable by now.

Thank you for sharing. There are philosophical theories of mind that say we are all essentially like this but generally in a much less explicit way. The label “disorder” gets put on a person when the divisions become more explicit and come to the surface or when the darker aspects get control instead of being appropriately moderated by the rest.

I have been close to people who absolutely had a different consciousness take the wheel so to speak during extreme stress and entirely believe this division of mind is real.

In the text they mention an FDR correction. In which case you typically don’t use 0.05 as the threshold. Bonferroni isn’t the only way to do that correction, but it a valid method (depending on the pvalue distribution). But with only 6 tests, it’s not really that critical. I usually only think of multiple testing correction in the context of thousands of tests.

Given your comment I was expecting something like 5 patients per group. But they had 50 cases and 50 controls. In this context, an uncorrected pvalue of 0.02 is pretty solid.

Recent electricity prices in Europe have proven that intermittent renewables backed by gas are way more expensive than nuclear, if it wasn't obvious already.

Nuclear waste disposal is a red herring. It's literally a rounding error compared to the environmental footprint of other means of energy production.
First of all, please don't call people names and please stay to the truth. I will take a deep breath and try to answer some of your claims calmly.

Yes, one can debate whether it was a clever idea to decide in 2001 to get rid of nuclear power while there was no end date set for coal. However the plans allowed for 25 years of further run time, enough time for buildup of renewables.

And Germany was quite successfull, renewables make up over 50% of the electricity. However, they fell behind the expectations because the Merkel government curbed the roll out of renewables. You can see how solar collapsed after 2012 and wind after 2017: https://www.erneuerbare-energien.de/EE/Redaktion/DE/Bilder/G...

On top of that, after the Fukushima disaster, it was decided to cut the run times of the nuclear power plants short. Mixing those together wasn't a great thing. Without one or even both, the path to renewables would have been smother and much further ahead.

We are talking about only 3 power plants left, whatever we decide, it won't make a huge difference. But as things are, I would also be in favour of keeping them running, if we reasonably can. However that is not a given. Maintenance intervals were of course decide with the final shut down at the end of the year in mind, as was ordering of the nuclear fuel. I really don't know, whether this can be reasonably reversed without higher costs than the possible alternatives.

And it is important to mention, that there is no scarcity of electricity in Germany, nor is any expected in the winter. Only 14% of the imported Gas go to electricity production. Ironically German electricity production is espeically high at the moment, as Germany has to keep the European grid up as France is failing to produce enough electricity. About 50% of the French nuclear power plants are down at the moment, they are old and require maintenance. On top of that, the rest has to run at reduced power due to limited cooling in the summer and due to the draught.

Germany has for this reason produced an extra 20 TWh of electricity, partially coming from the precious gas reserves. Because the nuclear power plants are not delivering at the moment.

So please cut down your flaming of Germany while it keeps the European grid running.
I agree that the initial cost is high, but the value has been great considering I have used them thousands of times. These would be great for someone who is in college, graduate school, or working 24/7 on a startup. Unfortunately, I did not know about products like this in that stage of my life, but for a student or a person with little time due to business demands, it is a way to eat healthy foods and save both time and money.

It's one thing to worry about the planet and the animals, and people dying directly due to climate events (floods and storms, heatwaves and drought) etc. I am far, far more worried about what we will do to each other when the 3 billion of us who are vulnerable to climate change want to move somewhere else.
On the Paradox of Learning to Reason from Data
It is an interesting idea, but your approach to pricing seems off:

100/day is not reasonable, at least not for small/medium teams. Trying to do arithmetic on run times and hourly rates to convince people it is reasonable is not only overly simplistic, but actively distracts from the conversation you really want to have - how does your solution solve their problem? People buy when they believe you can solve a problem better than they could without you. So keep the conversation in that space and don't set up pricing that invites nitpicky arguments about hourly costs, etc.

Instead, I'd just price based on your own needs - figure out your actual operating cost per test-minute, tack on a reasonable profit margin and operating costs, and bundle up some packages that have a quota of test-minutes per month in sizes ranging from 20/month to 100/month. Make sure that you are profitable at every package, and see if you get takers at that price point. Then let prices increase naturally when they run out of minutes and need to ask for more.
I've gone as far as to keep an ~/opt that has bin/, man/, lib/, src/, etc. underneath it, and when I can use --prefix on the configure script.

Udocker and singularity (the containerization toolset) also help a ton too. Docker's root requirements make it unsuitable for lots and lots of situations where it would otherwise be useful.

I think the principles behind Corellium are good (can we build an iOS toolchain without Apple?) but everything I heard about the implementation was unfortunately also negative. I think it would be a lot easier to stand behind them if they separated their product and service offerings, maybe making the iOS bootstrapping code Open Source, but providing ARM instances with commercial support at-cost. In it's current state, though, I can't root for them any more than Oracle or Apple themselves.
We're still using refrigerants with halogens when completely benign, more-efficient, and low GWP hydrocarbons are right there!
Slightly related question: why do people love Python so much? Or, any dynamically typed language? There's almost nothing that has frustrated me more in a professional setting than trying to figure out what some dynamically typed code is doing and ensuring I don't break anything by making changes.
It was a political decision to set the shut down date to end of 22, but due to maintenance and fuel concerns, it might not be possible to just keep them running. Of course we can perform all necessary maintenance and order new fuel to have them back in a year or two, but it might be simpler just to push the alternatives. (If it is easily possible to keep them running, of course we should do, but that is not so clear to me)
Germany will pay hundreds of billions in electricity this year since they don't have enough. Nuclear would have been a bargain.

Yeah, no. I've been using VPNs/SSH tunnels/proxies set up on various VPS hosters/"cloud" vendors for more than a decade to bypass heavy internet censorship. It is much cheaper than using ready-made VPN solutions, and the server can be reused for other purposes. I understand that may be <0.1% of your market, but it's not 0.

Ask HN: Why hasn't Mark Zuckerberg banned Apple products?
Zuckerberg has made it very clear to his employees that Meta and Apple are in a philosophical war and only one can be the winner of the AR/VR future. Apple also put a massive dent in their ad business (-$10B yearly income) with the introduction of Do Not Track in iOS.

The question becomes, why haven't he banned Apple products in their offices? You can see employees with MacBooks and iPhones everywhere inside Meta and Instagram.
