The one where the fog is clinging to the V shaped hills instead of settling in the valley looks off to me.

And remember, these are the “best of the best” examples. I’m sure there are many more that have very obvious flaws.

But to include wrong reflections seems like an obvious error that the creators or author should have caught.
There's no such thing as an NVMe slot, just M.2 slots that have PCIe lanes. NVMe is a protocol that runs on top of PCIe, and is something that host systems support at the software level, not in hardware. (Firmware support for NVMe is necessary to boot off NVMe SSDs, but the Pi doesn't have that and must boot off eMMC or SD cards.)
yeah, this is key. What you should be REALLY avoiding is unnecessary DOM updates, rerenders have a cost too, but marginal compared to DOM updates

and even then you mostly don't need to care either except in extreme situations (like useCallback is not really necessary most of the time0
Bottom line up front: Some U.S. municipalities buy hospitals and then re-sell them for next to nothing in order to keep them operating.

> To prevent this hospital's closure in 2013, Houston County bought it for $2.4 million and raised taxes locally to subsidize operations. "We had no business being in the hospital business," Mayor James Bridges said. "The majority of county governments do not have the expertise and the education and knowledge that it takes to run health care facilities in 2022."

> Local residents still have trouble stomaching the sticker price: $100 for a property valued at $1.4 million by the local tax assessor. In addition to that low price, Braden Health won tax breaks for committing to invest $2 million into the building.

> The Houston County hospital is valued at $4.1 million by the property assessor. But the final sale price was just $20,000 — and that wasn't for the land or the building. Kopec said the amount was for a 2016 ambulance with 180,000 miles — deemed the only equipment with any remaining value.

> An agreement with Braden Health to take over the shuttered hospital in Haywood County, Tennessee, valued at $4.6 million, was a similarly symbolic payment. All told, Braden Health is getting more than $10 million worth of real estate for less than the price of an appendectomy.

Excellent NPR-style anecdote:

> At the hospital in Erin, much of the facility's equipment is older than Kopec. And he said using outdated technology has caused Medicare to penalize the hospital with reduced payments.

> For instance, at a hospital in this town of 1,700 about a 90-minute drive northwest from Nashville, the X-ray machine is beyond repair.

> "This system is so old, it's been using a floppy disk," said Kopec, 23, marveling at the bendy black square that hardly has enough memory to hold a single digital photo. "I've never actually seen a floppy disk in use. I've seen them in the Smithsonian."
If you, like most people on hn, are in tech then you are highly insulated from the impact of a recession/downturn/whatever you want to call it.

You likely make significantly more than the nation average household and your job security and prospects are likely significantly higher.

I think the doom and gloom is a bit overblown too but who knows if tomorrow my company says xyz isnt looking good. Time for layoffs.
There are downsides to living a suburban lifestyle as it is typically designed. They just don't care or unaware.
Bit of a laughable conclusion from the data if you ask me. The comments discussing it under the actual article do a good job debunking what this author was trying to suggest.
Along the same lines, I made a command line calculator that does basic unit conversions, and has a few other tricks up it's sleeve

I find it surprisingly useful. It's probably one of those things that has an audience of one, but I find it useful.
Depends on your perspective. Yes, it's less efficient for me (individually) because I'm subsidizing suburbs and paying more taxes.

But, I was talking about the city, society, or the greater good. Whatever you call it. Higher density is more efficient and uses less resources per capita. Period. Same reason private planes are so bad for the environment.
Think of each transaction as a movement: it has a source and a destination. Therefore, you need to account for it in two places: where it came from, and where it went.

Does that make more sense?
I tried converting USD to ARS and it didn't work, I guess you should make a list of how units are named so I can use the correct one.
People who know how to write the terraform should write the terraform. Developers should run `terraform apply`
> but to go so far as to say, "no, we're actually not even part of the city, despite all commonsense physical reality; we're actually just a whole separate thing over here"

This was done pretty much the entire history of civilization. Communist revolutions tried to ignore the human nature that leads to it and we all know how that turned out.
> when a project is being actively developed, tagged releases are the only safe option to ship to users.

Not always. https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine is a great software, being developed but for some reason without release since 2016.

Last release does not work anymore, shipping master branch works.
This simply isn't true, or at least not in the way you're imagining (which makes it, I guess, an unintentional strawman).

First "Wind and Solar" doesn't have a single failure mode. You're now looking for failures of multiple days with minimal wind and high cloud cover if you want to invoke a "catastrophe" per the upthread phrasing. And that's much harder to do, statistically.

It also discounts that "majority of the grid" doesn't mean "without backup/storage solutions". Those gas plants aren't going away, they're just going to end up mothballed as (to be fair, very expensive) peaker plants. People are working hard on storage solutions like batteries and pumped hydro, wider grid connectivity for cross-continent buffering, etc...

It's totally a solvable problem (quite frankly it's significantly more solvable than "nuclear is an order of magnitude too expensive", which is the real thing holding reactors back). There will be no "catastrophes" in a renewable-driven grid, there just won't.

So please stop with the FUD, and stop reading sources that are feeding it to you. Nuclear has a place in the world, but it has to get its act together and compete in the market. You can't just argue that its competitors won't work, because it's wrong.
Why would it harm us? We are problem solvers, we can use our intellect somewhere else. Programming is just a tool.

A lot of my colleagues are hybrid of traders + programmers. They do a lot of Excel. Sure, we can automate text programming, let everyone do Excel, and us problem solvers still won’t find difficulties finding high paying job.

The self hosted license seems fairly permissive (Don't cluster, don't let your users manage the database views/queries [IANAL, read the license yourself]), but I'm hesitant given that I have never heard anyones stories about production use.
Traditionally companies involved with gambling do VERY well during recessions. It's not really an industry I want to be in but a lot of folks I knew who worked on or build slot machines/slot machine tech got huge bonuses during the last 08-10 years.

Plenty of smaller companies in that space if you look for them.
> He ultimately died of a fentanyl overdose, and there is video evidence he was out of control at the time.

Neither of these things are true.
people say this casually... and fail to define what a wave-function is physically.

It sounds like a non-sense answer.

if there is matter there, in the form of a 'wave function', what is the matter of a 'wave function' (other than just the electron zipping about)?

no: a wave function is a mathematical construct we use to predict where an electron might appear... (well, not exactly the wave function, but we get the probability of an electron's appearance by squaring the wave function).

A wave function (probably), doesn't 'physically' exist. it's just a useful model to predict probabilities...

waves exist only in a medium of expressive material - if that material is a single electron, there isn't magically more material there once we use a wave function to predict it's location - it's still only one electron - it's position predicted by the square of the wave function - but that doesn't mean the wave function is a physical entity.

And it's not like the electron is 'going faster than light' and 'blurring frames in reality'... it's just the electron there - the squaring wavefunction is just a way to predict it's location: just because it (seems to) works doesn't mean it physically exists.

but if it DOES exist physically (in a concrete way) - I would love an explanation or link to that proof - as that would be news to me.

fundamentally this might just be a semantics issue on the word physical
Deal Ronaldo Ever Made Was Selling His Image Rights
While I agree there aren't really any new concepts, I can think of two areas in Go that C++ and Java don't really prepare you for: error handling / nesting and classes. Go doesn't use exceptions or classes for anything really. Instead it's all DI/object embedding + interfaces and nested error values + context which can be more of a mind hurdle than expected since inheritance and try/catch are so common these days.
Most executives don't have the vision or creativity to come up with these trends; they have to pick them up from somewhere. I think there's plenty of blame to go around though.
I don't see how they could have hooked a 2.5Gb/s Ethernet NIC to the CM4 modules without using up the single PCI-e 2.0 lane other than adding a power hungry, expensive and often out of stock PCI-e switching chip.

I mean both can be true. SBF has perhaps been too gung ho with his EA donations, burning enormous piles of cash down some very deep rabbit holes. And he got that money by using his market maker to front run his own exchange.
Hypocrisy is merely the tribute that vice pays to virtue.

Why are capacitative touchscreens such a great fit for cell phones? Because the physical size is so limited. You want to use the same physical space for output (screen) and input (buttons). For a car instrument panel, physical size mostly isn't a concern.

"Touchscreen all the things" was cargo-culting. Apple made a trillion dollars with touch screens, therefore we should use touch screens too.

> Happily, they are at last starting to recognise the damage caused by these policies.

No, nothing changed, if anything it got worst post covid. The only countries that can do something are singapore and china, who are rationally treating housing as a basic need similar to food. In the western world things will probably never change on that front. The boomers built houses because they knew they d be appreciating forever - and they did, beyond their wildest dreams, while the economists were cheering. Millenials and GenZ will not touch housing because it's not an opportunity, and the barrier to entry is too high. Instead of housing bubbles, GenZ creates meme stock and crypto bubbles, and whatever comes next with the metaverse. Housing is very broken in europe, germans are building houses in the south where it's still cheap for their retirement. The housing stock will keep consolidating to fewer and fewer people, while the middle class will be using remote work for location arbitrage.
The thing about science or math is that people do in fact not pay for those things. The government does most of the times (Universities) or cooperations do (research labs). I do not know a person that funds research themselves.

By the way, at least in my country (Austria) the government also spends money on artists, though I will admit that I am not aware of how big that part of the budget is. Most likely smaller than R&D though.

But in general most people also indirectly fund these things. Want a better camera in your phone? For that you will need better sensors, for that you need better factories, etc. At some point you reach the mathematicians or other scientists that are somewhat far removed from the product.
In general, we are not wired correctly to deal with concepts outside of our immediate neighborhood.

You can say with confidence that there are 3 people in a room. Or about 20. Or roughly 100-200-300. Or a lot. A stadium filled with 10,000 people is not different from one filled with 100,000 people - for someone who sees them for the first time.

A million times bigger does not mean anything. What is a hair x 1M? No idea.

I am an ex-physicist and I leaned to just look at the numbers and compare them when needed. 10^-18 is fine for something because I learned that but I cannot imagine it. Same for 10^23.

This is also the reason why homeopathy does not sound bad to people when it is written 100 CH on the bottle. 100 looks good. It is a 10^-100 dilution ratio.
They can't be the ones to turn the lights off if they're not the last ones in the room. iTunes was famously Carbon for long after Apple said "use Cocoa now", but it came around. It's fine to tell everyone else "stop doing ObjC now", then to slowly strangle it out of their code as well.
Quite simply each entry contains both the "to" and "from" for the transaction. It's a construct to guarantee atomicity. The two "sides" of the transaction can never be out of balance with each other. If you lose an entire entry the system remains in balance-- you've lost a transaction but you're not in a situation wondering "where the money went" because nothing moves without both sides of the transaction.
It's a laudable goal but I have serious doubts about its achievability in cities that are already overpriced. Every single incentive leans in the direction of keeping prices high since not only would lower prices cost homeowners money but would also possibly cut into tax revenues and could financial ruin people who purchased under these high price regimes.

It's a bit of a ratchet. Once the prices go high, it's very hard to turn back. The only way out is probably to inflate the currency until a loaf of bread is $15 but housing is reasonable again, or for the state or federal government to offer some kind of huge tax write-off for depreciating home values. The latter is unlikely given the financial crunch faced by governments.
My own personal experience was that I read about geometric algebra and thought it was neat but didn’t really become anything like fluent in it for years (frankly I still don’t feel entirely fluent). But I like to work on geometry problems of various sorts (related to computer graphics, cartography, computational geometry, ...).

Over and over again, spread out over maybe a decade, I would try solving some problem in the languages I learned in school – Gibbs-style vectors, matrices, differential forms, complex numbers, trigonometric functions, synthetic geometry, etc. – and fill pages of scratch paper with equations that balloon in size making it hard to spot patterns or avoid mistakes, and eventually I would get entirely stuck somewhere. Then I would slap my head, try rewriting the problem in GA terms, and end up replacing like 2 pages of completely incoherent scratch work with about 3–5 lines of concise and easily geometrically interpretable GA manipulations, yielding both a clear answer to my problem and a clear and intuitive demonstration of why it should be right. In particular, dividing by vectors is an unbelievably underrated idea.

I don’t know about “one true language” as some kind of crusade, and I am not a physicist or mathematician, but in my opinion every engineer, scientist, and mathematician would benefit tremendously from becoming substantially fluent with GA,† ideally starting with the basic ideas in high school. It is a very clear and expressive language, substantially better for many purposes than the tools currently taught to students in their technical coursework.

† Including you, if you ever solve geometric problems. Give it a serious try sometime.
You see it everywhere but in general I see a lot of superficiality in Euro managers. They love to have direct reports, but because they need them but because it makes them feel more official. This is more frequent in Euro in my experience.

You don't see outside the box thinking as much. Very vanilla approaches to things that are generally dated approaches. A culture that lacks innovation.

You see a bit of gaming the system to meet KPI goals. Things that are probably not useful to the company but help them hit a defined goal.

Just not very aggressive in their approach to the business. A very conservative business culture that doesn't really understand scale and is obsessed with throwing lots of bodies at a problem rather than finding novel and innovative approaches.

Insistence that "this won't work here" when that's just not generally true. It's that they don't understand why the approach works and are stuck in older approaches to things that are not relevant to todays business world.

Secretive and inward looking.
Andrej, this is really good. I like how you clearly and succinctly describe how it works. I subscribed to your channel! Thanks for sharing.
Having one, I don't feel as good about the PinePower. I bought it together with their Pinecil soldering iron (which is great!) as it seemed like the ideal way to provide power to it, but unfortunately it's a very unreliable combo, with the iron rebooting frequently. Discussion around many similar issue reports online suggests the possibility of bad implementations of USB PD. Perhaps this is more a criticism of the complexities inherent in USB power supply in general, though.

Running the Pinecil off a Riden bench PSU with a simple DC power plug is rock solid, for comparison.
I'd also wager that most classic cars you see around these days have been repainted. When the cost to repaint is roughly the same why not go for an interesting color over gray or white?
Heck, Mercedes can't even get steering column stalks right. For decades, they've insisted on an asinine arrangement that combines way too much (turn signals, wipers, mist, clean, high-beams) into one stalk that is positioned so poorly low that you always hit the adjacent (not opposite side!) cruise control stalk when you try to signal a turn or lane change. Truly one of the most horrific physical UI experiences ever....

I will say that my wife had a Pacifica (the crossover, not the minivan) that is one of the best thought-out cars I have ever driven - not the best built (though it was tolerable), but definitely the best thought-out. (And we've owned dozens of cars from America, Italy, Japan, Germany, and Korea) Absolutely everything about that car oozed the thought and consideration of the designers thinking about how the car would be used. We'd still have it if it hadn't been totalled by a careless wench shoving her Jeep's winch deep enough into the Pacifica to total it.
Sure but Vista is the exception to the rule. If I told you "algo hedge funds only really took off(on AUM Basis) after 2008" you wouldn't answer that with "Yeah but Rentec exists since 1982" or "D E Shaw exists since 1988".
The "highlights reel" mentioned in the article is an interesting way to consume podcast content as many podcast are super long. Could see it as a way quickly go through the most important parts when there isn't much time or on the go.
I am a big FOSS proponent (I almost exclusively use FOSS), but I find it difficult to not become disillusioned recently. It seems the large corporations like FANGs are largely pushing OSS to use volunteer work to make software a commodity, while trying to accumulate more and more data, which they consider their main value.

At the same time we have companies like pine, who seem to support FOSS through relatively open hardware, but which to me seem increasingly more about a way to make a profit of the FOSS trend by using volunteer work without any investment from their end. I question if they are actually interested in their devices actually being functional for regular use. See also this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32330043

Finally we have distributions like Manjaro who seem more interested in growing their slice of the pie at the cost of other distributions instead of growing the whole Linux ecosystem. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/hxpj87/change_in_man...
I wouldn’t say it addresses it so much as it acknowledges it as an issue without offering a workable solution.
I don't disagree with any of what you say but seeing the devil everywhere has drawbacks too, starting with possibly being plain wrong. In this specific case the policy came precisely because employees asked for it..

Also to speak your language, one of the reasons people propose WFH or other benefits is precisely because they feel they don't hold so much power in a market where SWE are in high demand. So they 'sort-of-expect' you to use the benefits as proof that you 'sort-of-value' them and will stay. That doesn't mean you won't have to s** d** to advance.
I think the point here is that most people who use the interface a few times will learn the necessary key sequences. This learning can happen with the car at rest, and after that the user can keep their eyes on the road. It's not perfect, as some people have a slower learning rate than others, but it's sure better than a touch screen.

Ceph seems to be always related to big block storage outages. This is why I am very wary of using it. Has this changed?
Edit: rephrased a bit
Nothing so dramatic. The alternative is judicious inclusion of dependencies rooted in thoughtful, experienced engineering.

Robust, comprehensive libraries from reliable vendors can provide a lot of value and are slow to rot. These can be anticipated and added early so that they’re made good use of and can become the first tool to reach for before adding other dependencies. Think React, lodash, QT, boost, etc.

Meanwhile, I acknowledge that most other packages and repos are of far more dubious quality than anything my team would write, have no accountability to my team or stakeholders, receive few/no code reviews when added or updated, introduce conflicting style/semantic conventions, and generally expand the surface area for bugs and vulnerabilities by including many lines of code that have no relevance to the project.

There are no strict rules, but these are the sort of considerations that weigh in.
The real "reason" for this "recession" is all those stupid articles about the "great resignation". I knew as soon as those appeared the billionaire ruling class would rather cut off their own arms than allow the notion of workers getting access to some of the wealth they create. Thus: "Panic! Recession! Work harder!"

The detailed blog on passwords is quite clear that very often people need more than one approach to dealing with passwords because all passwords are not the same.

https://michaelhorowitz.com/BestPasswordAdvice.php

A formula is one approach that people should consider and it is often overlooked. The blog also makes a clear distinction between hard and soft formulas (my terms) A soft formula can not be cracked, even if many of the passwords leak.
