Yes, I had to backtrack while parsing this sentence. Not all-capitalized would not have helped, "will" is still the first word, so would get capitalized regardless, and Bun is a proper name that would also get capitalized. It doesn't help that "bun" is a kind of bread, and is also part of the name of the "bo bun" dish.

An "?" at the end would have helped a lot though.

> Achilles' flaw is that he is driven entirely by Thumos, far beyond what is appropriate.

I disagree completely. If it was beyond what was appropriate, much of the meaning of the poem simply does not work. There was a story in the tradition that the suitors of Helen, after she was betrothed to Menelaus, all swore an oath to come to the aid of Menelaus if anyone harmed the sanctity of their marriage: this story appears no where in the Iliad. Homer explicitly doesn't mention it, because his characters are at Troy to win honor and glory, actions which in bronze age warrior culture were admirable and noble. For moderns, who are not part of a bronze age warrior culture, it can be difficult to contemplate just how thoroughly Agamemnon humiliates Achilles in front of the entire army in Book I. War prizes were awarded as a measure of esteem in which a warrior was held by his peers: the greater the esteem the greater the prize. Strip a man of his prize, and you strip him of his esteem, his honor, his entire reason for being. If there was no oath by the suitors, which Homer explicitly omits, then not only does Achilles lose his honor, he loses all purpose for being at Troy: he's not bound by an oath so why even fight if the fruits of that fighting will be taken from him in the most humiliating fashion possible? So of course Achilles goes back to his tent and sulks for over a dozen books of the poem. Had Achilles submitted to the humiliation Agamemnon inflicted upon him he would have added cowardice and unmanliness to his dishonor: he would have lost all respect by his peers and the social expectation would have been to commit suicide. So by withdrawing to his tent and sulking, Achilles was doing the appropriate and praise-worthy thing within the context of his (alien to ours) culture. And that choice ultimately destroys him.
ID This SciFi Short Story
Many aeons ago I read a short story in a SciFi anthology with the following plot, as I remember it:

A man ingests Nanobots [?] which travel though his body, fixing disease and repairing damages, etc. Then they start to take over, improving on his human biology --improving his senses & strength, etc. Eventually, they begin to expand outside his physical form, 'integrating' him into the fabric of his house -growing parts of him into the electrical and plumbing systems, etc.

Note the 'as I remember it' so this may be, at least partially, inaccurate. But, given the germ of the plot has stuck in my noggin all these years, I'd love to find that story and read it again.

Anyone recognise it?

I did a rewatch marathon of sorts with the kids, Alien, Aliens, Terminator 1-3, stuff like that. Those new action flicks, especially the super hero movies, cannot compare against those. An opinuon my son shares, and he grew up with Marvel. He was glued to the screen when we watched Alien for the first time together, because it did build up astory ajd tension (his words, not mine). Compared to Marvel were the CGI orgy starts 2 minutes into the movie.

Heck, I'll take the Terminator 1 stop motion effects over any scene in the forst half of the last Dr. Strange "movie" (I couldn't bring myself to watch more than that, even Meg is more fun to watch...) any day of the week. Because T1 is still scary and conveys emotion (despair mostly for being chased by an unstoppable killet machine), while those Marvel effects are, well, boring by now. They have no wow effect (we see them in almost every single modern day movie), the convey no emotion (difficult to properly act, I think, when you are in front of a green screen and everything just plays out in your imagination) not do those effects actually drive the "story" forward.

As compared to, e.g., the Expense, a ton of sci-fi short films (Dust in a great channel for that on Youtube) or the Mandalorian. I think the over use of CGI is just an easy excuse for bad story telling, and people swallow it.
I see your point, and I don't use GH when I can avoid it, but those are very different in my mind. GH, for all its flaws, is a value-added hosting service on top of git.

Discord is in an entirely different category: a completely proprietary reimplementation of IRC, with rent-seeking features bolted on.

I find the presentation confusing too, but with my limited understanding I think the total energy that's available to be used isn't 100% but 122%; the 100% is the share that is electricity.

It links to this:

https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv-ev.shtml

In the bottom left corner, the image says "Percentage total may exceed 100% because regenerative braking recaptures energy and reuses it."

Also, it says: "Energy to wheels: 65% to 69% + 22% (recovered) = 87% to 91%"

Switch to the "City" tab, and the result is "94% to 100%".

It's not impossible to produce more useful work than the electricity being used - see for example heat pumps, which derive most of the heat from cooling down water (or air) which is "free", so they can generate 3-4W of heat out of 1W of electricity.

It's been a while now since I've picked it up, but I think the main content it assumes your comfortable with is on the order of a semester of Quantum Mechanics. Otherwise, it definitely uses quite a few tricks in calculus (e.g. integrating probability amplitudes, variational calculus, and likely some higher dimensional stuff). The later chapters probably get even more exotic, but the book prepares the reader pretty well I think.

For book recommendations, the ones that come to the top of my mind are:

- Griffiths' Quantum Mechanics [0]. It's become a pretty standard undergrad QM text, and in my experience was very approachable.

- Div, Grad, Curl, and all that by Schehey [1]. I don't remember how much into vector calculus the QFT book got, but this one turned the tide of my undergrad personally. For ~120 pages it gave me a better intuition with 3D calculus than any other resource.

- Something that covers calculus of variations, Euler-Legrange equation, etc. I first covered this in Classical Mechanics but don't remember the textbook. The Feynman Lectures of Physics [2] probably covers it, but I don't know for certain. Incidentally, Feynman is all over QFT, so his undergrad materials are probably excellent prep materials.

I don't remember whether the book introduces bra-kets (Dirac notation) or assumes them, and I don't remember if Griffiths uses it at all. I first saw this notation in General Relativity, with Spacetime and Geometry [3], but I think there are definitely better materials that can explain the notation better.

I'm pretty sure all of these books, and plenty more on these topics, should be widely (or freely) available. Good luck :)

Edit: newlines always get me
I worked on a C++ codebase that was essentially C with a few obvious domain classes and the addition of std::string and std::vector for convenience. I suspect that this is quite a common space, and it's immune to the march of the whizzy new features that are being added. Probably the only remotely modern bit of C++ that we could have benefited from is a salting of std::moves to remove some redundant copying, but this wasn't really worth the candle tbh.

> The shellfish do not get their own private ship. It's cheap because the UK is already importing so much that when the ships return to China empty, they might as well pick up some shellfish on their way home

Is the implication then that the space would be completely vacant?

How can you be certain that there's never been a ship commissioned because the demand became too great and thus more ships needed?

Even if it wasn't just shellfish, there's a million different things that ship back and forth and it shouldn't be necessary, it's enabled by cheap freight and cheap labour: but those things are an equivalent burden to the planet and our sum-total of ecological resources. So it's very wasteful when you think in those terms and not in our faux-scarcity monetary terms.
Of course. It would require prior preparation.

I have a few friends who worked in China and the default is you immediately move any money out of the country as soon as you can. It's simple to bring it in, but getting it out can range from "here are 5 forms to fill out" to "sorry, we aren't processing transfers at this time".
Ask HN: Why is Valve/Steam OK with smurfs & cheaters in DOTA2?
Hi

Sort of an angry post...

Occasionally I still play a game of DOTA2. I usually play like 1-2 games per week solo and occasionally I will play a game where someone will invite me in a group.
The latter is especially problematic as the chances that another team will have a high MMR smurf or a cheater-scripter (with previous VAC ban) are quite high.

For those that are not familiar with the terms:
1. MMR - match making rank- points based of which teams are set up. It shouldn't guarantee an equal match and if you win you get rewarded some

2. smurf - a payer account of lower level which is being used by a high level player, often in order to win and "boost" other people in the team

3. cheater-scripter - players using scripts to automate certain actions in the game on heroes where quick combos

4. VAC - valve anticheat system - currently it functions in a way where a user can report another user and that segment of the game will get judged by other players.

So obviously the thing to do have a good banning system, but unfortunately that is not working. Anyone who has played a MOBA or any other game where you are penalized if you leave and active match, will know how annoying this is.
It is especially annoying when it is obvious very early on that another team has a smurf. Recognizing smurf is very easy as smurfsusually play the "mid" position which in dota/lol/moba is usually the most impactful, with a hero that can disproportionately influence the game if played well.

So recognizing that it will never work perfectly, I would like the following filter options when matchmaking:
1) Filter out players who do not own more that 2 games & whose account is lower than lvl 3 (steam based metric)
2) Filter out players who have had a VAC (anticheat system) in the past 2 years from DOTA or any other game
3) Filter out players who have had a unusual ("p<0.05") increase in winning
4) Filter out with people who keep playing in parties with people who fit criteria 3)

Some of my other, not well thought out ideas:
1) Proof of stake of some kind (player and "validator" of report) - or just implementation of high enough stake, money in terms of MMR, ban time of MMR in order to discourage cheating
2) Steam/Dota reputation designation - based on years of account, time played, reports for misconduct, reports for behavior, people would get badges allowing them to judge directly if someone is cheating or not, or being a smurf
3) Something else...

My only conclusion why Valve/Steam isn't doing anything is that the revenue that smurfs and cheaters bring is high enough to justify not doing anything. If that is true, then would there be an interest for an alternative payed(!) matchmaking system with stricter rules (?).

Last question: Why do you think cheating is on the rise? Is it because of the streaming?

This is not legal advice but violations of non-compete agreements and similar IP contracts happen all the time. Frequently if you have an idea rejected by your employer or want to pick up something the company abandoned you couldn’t find anybody on Earth who is less interested in using this IP than your employer.

One principle is that few people will sue you over $0.00 so if you get no traction you will not get a lawsuit. If you make a billion dollar company and they want 200 million you might be mad about it but really you shouldn’t be.

I know more and more farmers are tech savvy and getting acquainted with the tools of the trade — or at least their kids are, but is your average farmer going to know what to do with a root terminal?

I have written an ebook ("Stratospheric - From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS": https://stratospheric.dev/). So, technically, I'm not qualified anymore to answer that question.

However, looking at it ex negativo, I can tell what convinced me to write this particular book: A subject to write and learn more about and two co-authors to write the book together with.

Making writing a collaborative effort is enormously helpful, not only since it helps with staying motivated but also because it allows you to more easily break down what can otherwise seem like a daunting amount of work. We even organically arrived at a "pull request"-style review process that allowed us to release quickly and iteratively without getting a third-party editor involved, which could've been a bottleneck and hence might've slowed down progress (more on our writing process: https://progmot.com/post/self-publishing-a-book-with-almost-...).

Another key factor was a relevant target audience we could relate to. Knowing that there's a problem (How to become productive with developing Spring-based applications on AWS?) which hadn't been explored and addressed in an in-depth, comprehensive manner before and being aware that we weren't the only ones having that problem but a significant number of people from our peer group were facing the same issue, was vital for our decision to write this ebook.

It has always been this way. The only reason many tools and libraries can switch between node and the web transparently is that tons of developers have put in a considerable amount of effort.

The problem is that if you're using some node package in the browser that wouldn't typically be there, it'll need to be bundled for inclusion in the browser.

Nothing about npm's design implies or particularly facilitates that packages will be isomorphic.
