I am not saying there was concern over nothing.

This default reactive stance causes pointless arguments and discussion as I'm trying to demonstrate.

Yes there were 200% valid concerns. But this lead more to something close to hysteria than actual communication.

These concerns turned into teaching kids that the environment is going to die. The "unless nothing changes" gets lost in the discussion with 90% of non science teachers. In the same way that "emmissions have fallen" is on page 23 and is not front-page news.

The net result of this, although well intended. Is that most people are taught the headlines which turn into "watch out for acid rain". And now 40 years on they are even more confused and distrusting given the inconsistent messaging around this.

(News flash the oceans are still getting more acidic, almost no effort has been made here imo, but I digress)

Bad communication on these topics is more dangerous than not getting public approval. Bad communication around fossil fuels spreads distrust on the topic of conversation. (Again I remember well meaning teachers saying fuels would dry up by 2010 when I was in school)

Bad communication on climate change or global warming (notice how they don't use that latter phrase in outreach now) causes distrust here. Same goes for healthcare, 5G and the list goes on.

There will always be people who disagree. Trying to reach 100% is also futile. The communication should be straightforward clear and consistent and it's falling short of that by a long way.

The "just trust the science" is exactly the same call to authority as "this book says throw them off buildings". It helps nobody. But it happens at _all_ levels of outreach and bad education because people get afraid to say "good point, I don't know".

> Are they sold Pennies on the dollar?

Only bad debt is sold for such a discount. A normal mortgage with nothing wrong with it will be sold at full value, i.e. sold to someone who wants to make money on the interest.
Oh yes sorry, I've edited my comment to add some context, I would stand by it is what Stocks looks like, as the app is Stocks and it looks like that. I did scroll just past the top stories to take the screenshot. I didn't mean to mislead at all, I do agree I did make it look like that, not intentionally.

Also maybe the add disappears for Apple News+ subscribers? I'm not subscribed to Apple News+ so I can't speak to that.
It’s easier to use weight instead of volume if you want measurements more precise than a 1/4 cup.

Most home ovens struggle to hit the set point to within 25F for most of their internal volume. They also have large swings in temperature as cheap heating elements do not respond quickly.

It's honestly kind of wild watching the political left do a total about face and embrace and celebrate the FBI while the law and order political right turns against them.

I'm getting almost as much whiplash as when the crunchy, anti-vax political left (remember the 2019 Portland measles outbreak?) turned rabidly and militantly pro-vax while the generally neutral conservative right turned extremely anti-vax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Pacific_Northwest_measles...

But probably not as much whiplash as Obama got after he campaigned in 2008 saying that he believed marriage was between a man and a woman. https://www.politico.com/blogs/ben-smith/2008/08/obama-says-...

Interesting times.
> live versions are treated as different ones

I think you're talking about a live recording vs a studio recording? But what I think zelos was talking about was "someone is currently playing music live, what is it?", which is a lot harder because you need to recognize the essence of a song and not the essence of a recording of a song.

Jumbo loans are inherently risky due to their size. Fannie Mae doesn't support them and only in very limited cases; homes in LA, SF, NYC.

Since the banks can't use those federal services (Fannie Mae) they have to carry that risk.
I think I just understood the downvotes - nah I’m not insinuating that either party is more susceptible here. I’m suggesting people (more specifically leadership) being imperfect - and in some cases purposefully so.

This article doesn't mention the FBI agent's motive either. Nor does it provide any evidence that this is a political attack; it's not like you can impute that solely from the fact that the target has a political stance.

It is a better article, if you can ignore the hyperbolic spin, in that it links to more information -- the fact this was known at the original trial, and the appeals court being quoted, "the evidence the agent destroyed lacked exculpatory value and the information was available by other means".
This is interesting! And makes total sense. I didn't know that the rest of the world (smartly) measures flour in terms of mass not volume. And your conversion factor is really helpful, thank you.

Great read, environment seems like the best hook to get a regulatory regime going.
Sounds like your colleagues are cargo-culting rather than arguing from experience or knowledge.

My standard solution for this is to name the loop counter for the things being counted. So your example would be:

for (horse=0;horse<n_horses;horse++) {
}

or

for (horse in horses) {
}

or equivalent depending on whatever language you use.
We don't get to see, directly, how everyone else experiences life. They might tell us, and they might do so more or less truthfully and accurately. They might struggle to communicate those things in a way we really understand. Meanwhile, we ourselves may struggle to explain our experiences and perspectives to others, or be ashamed or embarrassed about doing so.

One aim of literature and poetry is (or may be) to open up that inner world—to do a better job of expressing those experiences than most folks manage to, to do so across a breadth of experience we may not all encounter, and to make explicit and examinable things we may not ourselves think to examine, or may otherwise think shameful or private and ours alone.

Like, say, the experience of taking a drug and not feeling at all like you changed, but that the world did, as in the original example.

The practical utility of this in communication is evident in that the well-read tend to reach for episodes from literature or passages of poetry to relate difficult concepts concerning that inner life, and this practice is in fact helpful to readers who have a similar background, or, if you will, a common language (as in the section of my post that you quoted). This is seen extensively in philosophy, for example, and is so helpful in religion that even those that try to downplay literature or scripture (Buddhism, for example) tend to end up with extensive literatures regardless, because they are so useful for relating difficult, very personal ideas and experiences, even if they can only ever be the "finger that points" and never directly the thing-in-itself. For the individual per se it can help us understand ourselves, help us feel less alone, act as a kind of therapy to some degree, be one factor in working out what exactly we're doing here, what we want or ought to be doing, expand or exercise our empathy, and provide ethical and moral guideposts more effectively than any kind of "do this, don't do that" list of bullet points.
> As a backend dev I've attempted this several times, and the consumers of my API never cared about the hyperlinks. […] Anyone has experience with this going the same or differently?

I’ve seen it work exceedingly well with a browsable interface, like the one provided by Django REST Framework (not an endorsement of the framework per se; it does a lot of stuff very nicely, but other stuff can be a pain). If the API is human-discoverable, that makes the appeal of hyperlinks (actually linked in the browsable interface) a lot more obvious.

> I've tried explaining that the 'delete' hyperlink is only going to be present when the user is authorized to delete the resource, and isn't that wonderful and making your life easier? It turns out, (my) API consumers want to hardcode URLs on their side and have the payload include a can-delete flag. Same across several companies.

Not to nitpick the RESTfulness of this design, but I think it’s interesting that a more purist HATEOAS approach would be closer to what they wanted. Example response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Allow: DELETE, GET, PATCH, PUT
Content-Type: application/json
…

{
"url": "https://example.com/foos/any-key",
…
}

Note `Allow`, that’s a standard HTTP header many clients can parse and understand automatically, and might even give them their can-delete flag for free. They can hard code the URL if they like, but they already have the URL because it’s the same one, for the same resource they already requested. Or, if they requested a listing… sure, again, they can hard-code the listed resources but I think the convenience of including URLs is a probably a lot more obviously appealing there.

Coming back to DRF’s browsable interface, it similarly uses standard HTTP semantics, in this case content negotiation. If it receives a request with `Accept: text/html` it responds with a web representation of whichever resource you requested. If the request is authorized to perform other actions on that resource—determined by the same `Allow` header—the web representation also includes a form to perform those actions.

This isn’t to say everyone will see the appeal! But in my experience it’s a lot easier to grasp when an API really does embrace HATEOAS.

I would love to release the code as GPL in the spirit of copyleft. After all I was given the samples in the same vein without any profit back to the original makers. They are so indifferent to their own work they simply ignore any email I send them about it.

I really need some kind of sponsorship. I can't really afford to do a lot of work for free like managing pull requests or merges and tech support without sponsorship. There are so many great libraries I am curious how they attain ramen profitability. I know a lot of them would release their project under the following formula:

1. Make great code

2. Release code to the public for free

3. ?

4. Profit

From being around here for close to 10 years now I've seen a lot of people complain of doing open source work basically for no compensation and them finding themselves on the hook maintaining software they no longer even use themselves. But others like curl seem to have some kind of backing and are able to continue indefinitely.

I'm not greedy. I never thought this could make me rich. But I am really poor right now and need any help I can get. If I had $500 per month in sponsorship I could continue doing this work as long as I was physically able to do so. I have all kinds of desiring with this code including making an advanced GTK GUI that would greatly simplify the workflow and ease of use. I can think of so many cool things I could do with a gui like visual selections, humming a melody, adding harmony, multiple channel delegation, adaptive rendering, preview instruments and piano roll (or some other better notation system) editor. I can think of better ways of editing notes than piano rolls and sheet music.

If you had any leads to funding free software please share. Thank you for participating in my thread.

I think this tool could be great for composers wishing to preview their work and discover the ranges instruments play in. They could better sell their work to orchestra patrons that are looking for new work to play in concert or recordings. Sure the Penny Orchestra is cheap, but that is kind of the point. It could never replace real musicians no matter how good it sounds. Other solutions I found often sound really cliché and I don't think that is what they'd want to hear. Not to mention, it just seems to take forever to make anything sound great with them from what I've read.
I’m the development lead for Vanilla Forums and I implemented our WYSIWYG editor in Quill 4 years ago.

Things changed a lot since then and I can’t recommend it:

- project mainteners started a SaaS service based on quill. A lot of editor code now is proprietary.
- a public release hasn’t been made in years.
- the maintainers don’t accept contributions or manage the issue tracker.

Just use something else.
Even nicer is often if the borrower defaults that loan is sold to aggressive debt collectors for pennies on the dollar. Those debt collectors now hound you and litigate against you to get as much from you as they can. This is rampant with cc debt.

In my opinion, a lot tech debt comes from not changing the interfaces when they need to be changed. Tests fix your design so if your design is broken you're going to live with that.

But when I'm developing something new, I will frequently change the interface until I get something to be what I want to it be.
Yes, Im painfully aware of this. Christ I wouldn't be making the point of I wasn't this aware of it! (My own personal anger aside here)

I have a strong educational background and a head on my shoulders. However from the mainstream public perception it just "disappeared one day" and transformed into "fossil fuels will be gone" which turned into "global warming" which is now "climate change".

This is obviously complete nonsense to anyone with a science background but is the result of decades of broken outreach combined with poor public education.
Ask HN: Europeans, what keyboard layout do you use for programming?
Hi all,
I want to get more serious with programming and realised that I have to learn touch typing.
However, all the symbols for programming are on my German Mac Keyboard layout very hard to reach. I feel like everyone with an english keyboard has an advantage here.
Just changing to the American layout wouldn't work, because I have to use umlaute, such as äöüß.

So, how do you do it? What layout do you use, especially if you're native to a language with special characters?

Additionally, if you are using not using a qwerty / qwertz layout, how well does it work with vim?
I'm on Facebook largely because I have a chronic disease, and that's where the active support groups are. It's hard to get away from, because of that.
I understand and even share a little bit of your sentiment, but I'm tired of stretched "X is now not what X was supposed to be".

Strictly speaking, the Internet was supposed to help some servers survive and continue working together despite some others being destroyed by a nuke. That is more-or-less the case today: we see how people use VPNs to route around censorship. Whether you were supposed to stream TikTok videos directly from the phones of their authors or through a centralized data hose - i'm not sure that was ever the grand idea.

Also "decentralized" and "monetize" don't go well together because innovation is stimulated by profit margins and rent-free decentralized solutions by definition have those margins equal to zero (otherwise the solution is not decentralized enough).
I like Wikipedia for some things but you shouldn't forget it's a social media site where users (and people paid to influence politics) write articles. The most common IP addresses for editing articles are in Washington DC, and people who spend their lives editing articles aren't necessarily doing it for fun, they're doing it to influence things (in the same way Ghislaine Maxwell was an influential reddit mod)

Out of curiosity, what would it take for you to reconsider your position? You're quick to dismiss sources or reasoning without offering much yourself.
I suspect you are being disingenuous here, and you know the issue was not the nominal harm your niche business caused by advertising, but rather the perceived danger of the entire infrastructure created that made this possible for you.

This is a classic issue of technological capability vs societal interest (i.e. we can do it, but should we?), and there are rarely easy solutions. Some of the trade offs may just mean that some business models aren't as viable - this in principle seems reasonable to vast majority of people.

The good news is that if your business model has any non-superficial value there are bound to be other ways to reach people and make a go of it, if so desired.
I was being cheeky. The people who took out these mortgages are paying a rate well below market-rate. They won in the sense that they're paying less to service the debt than the lender is paying to carry the mortgage.
That diminishing return is much more true at 150w than at 50w.

When you look at per-core performance of desktop chips, things aren't rosy. Looking at the 5950 (most power efficient per core), it's taking almost 7.5w PER CORE to hit 3.7GHz. It hits 4.7GHz (peak frequency of 6850U) on just 4 cores while using 110w to do it. That's almost 23w per core.

Based on these numbers, taking 8 cores up to 3.7GHz would require 60w of power and that's just to hit the "base" frequencies of the 6850H which they say can be done with a TDP 25% lower than that (maybe dropping half the L3 cache makes that possible, but at an overall performance loss as moving stuff from RAM takes more energy than keeping it in L3 and I don't know that losing half the cache saves more energy than the addition of a GPU adds back to the chip).

Even if we assume a 12% energy efficiency bump (two thirds of the 18% transistor reduction and roughly inline with the 30% efficiency at N5 with a 45% transistor reduction), we aren't doing anything multithreaded anywhere near peak frequency. In fact, we aren't doing anything multithreaded past those terrible 2.7GHz base clocks at best.

Meanwhile, the M2 TDP didn't really increase. They can hit 3.5GHz on 4 cores while using 60% less energy than those AMD cores at 3.7GHz despite being about twice as wide and over 60% faster per clock. Back of the envelope calculations seem to indicate that 4 M2 big cores at 3.5GHz should be more than 2x as fast as 8 Zen 3 cores at 2.7GHz without even using little cores and completely ignoring Amdahl's Law.

Of course, all this just goes back to the question of how questionable this entire article really is.
You're assuming that we're talking about a government surveillance setup where information is intended to be private. But the article's discussion still applies when the subject matter is canceling people on social networks.

In fact it seems even more apropos of the dual identity of both subject and narc that the article discusses. Traditional government surveillance makes most of us solely subjects with little role in the enforcement process. But in a world where mob justice applies social sanctions, we're all simultaneously judges and candidates to become defendants, able to be condemned by our own words. Encryption is irrelevant when those words are intended for public consumption.

Black Mirror did an episode on what it would look like if your social reputation were reified into concrete societal privileges. That kind of ad absurdum exploration makes the surveillance state of social networks much easier to recognize.

The theory is that for every node shrink, a greater percentage of your transistors have to be dark.

If you use a component too frequently, it isn't dark enough.

I'll trust your statement that GPUs and image processors look a lot alike (I am no expert by any means), but as long as there is a difference an image processor is going to be a candidate for inclusion on the chip. The designers have a transistor budget, thermal constraints, and a prioritized list of components they can put on the chip given available transistors. I'm sure that if they had better alternatives, they'd skip the image processor. But they didn't, which gives you some information on how Intel thinks about image processors.
