If I remember correctly, the original issue filed about this was more of an alert than an expression of excitement. In either case the exclamation is warranted, but it’s fascinating how since then the TS type system has grown significantly more expressive in the ways it can perform arbitrary computations. You certainly could write a compile-time JSON parser or a SQL database in TS types well before template literal types, but now you can do it with the semantics of a high level scripting language (hilariously [to me] more like a lisp than either JS or TS). Gob help us if anyone bolts arbitrary IO onto the thing to bring automatic type acquisition into the fray.
Thanks for the impressions. I think I will try it out :-)

> It gives me access to 88 out of my over 400 purchased games, with the emphasis being on more recent and/or more popular games.

Jesus Christ, how can it be that bad? Their servers are running Windows, right? I don't see how Nvidia's coverage can be that bad unless they're encumbered by licensing quirks. Even Valve's Proton manages to cover ~75-77% of the Steam store's titles...
I'm just judging by my current ISP options... Spectrum and AT&T. Scaling up the price it's be at least $1k/month for 10G.

I wish I lived in whatever dream land has actual first-world internet access :)
Another use is thermal batteries. Dump the power into a resistively heated mass and use that for industrial purposes. Thermal storage can be incredibly cheap per stored unit of energy.
> "Zoning" in Japan, for example, is different. It sets things like minimum acceptable noise levels, emissions, traffic flows, etc. Within that, everything is allowed.

Again... this is NOT zoning.

Zoning is taking a parcel of raw land, subdividing it, and then, before anything is built, deciding what goes where. You'll say 'this square is a restaurant, slap a C1 zoning on it', and 'this square is a house, so slap an R1 on it'. You'll do this en masse, without any regard for the actual inhabitants or businesses occupying this district.

Things like setting minimum noise levels, street sizes, etc, are part of permitting. We can have a separate discussion here, but this is not 'zoning'.
He is definitely not afraid of this clown.
I recently upgraded to 1.5gbps and realized a few things.

The downsides: the Cat5e cables inside my condo walls can't handle more than 1.0gbps; my desktop's network port also maxes out at 1.0gbps; the wifi router in my home can't do more than 600mbps even if standing right next to it.

But also, nothing I do needs this much bandwidth. I can download any steam game in the blink of an eye. I can watch streaming video at resolutions higher than my eyes can distinguish. Outside of a few high bandwidth edge cases, there's very little I need more than 100mbps for.

If you offered me 25gbps internet right now I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and what I have!

Someone tell me: what will I need that much bandwidth for?
Drive 10-20 miles, and you'll be in areas where AT&T decided to sell the lines
to a bankrupt telco. Looking at the lines in those areas is entertaining. The
telephone poles were installed by some ancient secret society named "GTE", and
now have 20 degree bows. When lines loosen up and block traffic, the usually just
tie them up on to some nearby tree branch.

The way I remember it GTE did not go bankrupt and instead became part of Verizon. Most of the Bay Area was PacBell (landline) territory, but there were a few pockets here and there where GTE had a monopoly. For wireless it was a different story with AT&T / CellularOne getting Side A and GTE / Verizon getting Side B with PacBell being relegated to the PCS band.

In fact I just took a quick peek at their Wikipedia page. GTE went bankrupt in 1933 and recovered. They were not part of the Bell system until 2000 when they were acquired by Bell Atlantic as part of the creation of Verizon.

Monopolies suck but GTE (and Verizon) were almost always better about building out higher speed DSL and fiber than PacBell/SBC/AT&T ever were.
I think my response to that has two elements:

1. A strip joint would have economic incentives for an ideal location much like residential housing. It would likely benefit from a more economically active corridor rather than where a bunch of families raise kids. I've noticed this with adult shops when I lived in different suburbs of Vancouver.

2. Municipalities often have bylaws for when/how they can serve alcohol (eg: "last call") as well as noise levels. It strikes me that there are better regulations for ensuring these sorts of things rather than entirely stamping out small businesses to be near homes.

Like, I can understand not wanting to live next to a dive bar full of students on a Tuesday evening, but I think there's still a lot of room with liberalizing zoning to make more comfortable living spaces in North America. Japan's attitude to things makes a lot more sense to me [1], especially having lived there in a suburb nextdoor to a school.

> They hate on accents because of previous bad experiences talking to agents with accents.

That is a racist thing to say.
Meanwhile here in my large California city the best service I can get at my apartment is 100/10. That's because it's negotiated by the landlord with some kind of corporate rate (it's not shared, we still have our own modem). It actually drops to something like 80 down at peak hours.
other important and day to day tools like rulers, clocks and speedometers also start at zero. So it's not exactly "bending humans to microprocessors weird alien ways".

It all makes perfect sense in the context of measuring.

You can back up the entire grid with combustion turbines burning hydrogen or some other e-fuel. A simple cycle combustion turbine power plant costs $500/kW, 20x cheaper than a nuclear plant ($10,000/kW).
I think you might be on to something here, but not for the reasons you think.

VCs are constantly scanning GitHub these days to find open source projects and new tools (ones that might evolve into SaaS products or ones that might indicate a trending product area). IMO, you should charge for _that_ type of feature - maybe a weekly newsletter that summarizes all of the trending repos from the past week for a certain keyword.
Toxic waste and pollution is an example of an externality that absolutely should be regulated, but it's not necessary to do that via zoning. Just specify how much space such a factory must have to the nearest residential area in order to be built. That's not a zoning law. That's just a business usage law. Similar to how I can't make noise in my neighborhood past 10PM.
The previous comment (~4g) is correct, most studies have put standard cubes at around 0.6% psilocybin.

> A company like Disney will drop every piece of output from their staff into a dataset for Disney, then license it under terms to other companies

Knowing Disney, those terms would 100% include "subject to Disney's approval obtained prior to publication", and a chunk of money extracted from you. That company is very controlling of their IP.

Either that, or you're talking about a dataset that generates very specific looking images, that do not remind you of any major classic Disney property (so not "every piece"). Your own Jedi / Avenger avatar creator maybe, custom Mickey Mouse world character absolutely not.

In the case of the Yangtze, things are made worse by uncontrolled extraction of groundwater and river water in the valley. Lack of government is another cause.
My wife and I have been all over the place with regard to relative compensation: she's made significantly more than me, I've made significantly more than her, we've both made about the same...

Honestly, the way I've dealt with it when she made more than me is.....I never tied my self-worth to my income or ability to provide in the first place. All our money is ours, and as long as we, together, have enough to support a reasonably comfortable lifestyle, we'll be fine.
I clearly said the opposite, in response to, what appeared to be, your suggestion that indexing isn't so bad:

"I think people make too big a deal about iterators. The simple for loops that they’re fit to replace aren’t that hard to read or write, so they aren’t causing real problem"
Any engineer who has ever filed a software patent soon realizes that the entire patent system in America (at least with respect to software) is a scam. It seems to be designed to enrich lawyers and tax engineers.

It's almost like all the kids in school who failed out of CS 101 went to law school and cooked up a scheme to tax their classmates who actually stuck it out and built something.

Why the hell do we have a system that gives a 20 year monopoly to assholes for shit they cook up on a cocktail napkin over lunch with their lawyer? This is how we used to brainstorm stuff to patent. It's utter bullshit. I refuse to participate in creating more bullshit patents.
Ask HN: How worried should I be about Google randomly suspending my accounts?
So I have a lot of Google accounts that I use for different reasons that are tied to many of my other non-Google online accounts—I’ve made a good effort of switching some of my important online accounts to more reliable email services ever since I learned that Google has a tendency to randomly shut out people from accessing their business, or personal accounts.

Problem is I don’t know how widespread all of this is, but I do know that once an account is suspended or banned that it’s a fools errand to try to get it back unless you personally know a Googler or post it about here or on Twitter and hope that someone who can help you is going to read and respond.

If I start a full on revolt on Google and switch entirely to different services, it’s going to take absolutely forever so I just want to know if this is a decision worth making or am I being paranoid for no good reason?
Reposting this because fuck Heroku:

A former employer was mad at me for daring to leave my job and made a malicious DMCA claim against my website. Heroku took it down with zero notice and treated me like a criminal when I called them to quit their bullshit.

They said I was not allowed to ever host the falsely claimed content on Heroku ever again. They said that I should pursue external avenues for disputing the claim. I took my site off Heroku and kept it offline because of the implicit threats of lawsuits from my previous employer. The site was my online portfolio of work and experience I was using for job hunting. However, my Heroku account was also used to host my profit-generating website/business, and instead of taking down only my portfolio site, they took down every site on my account. My account was completely disabled and I wasn't able to even remove the specific site and put my other ones back online, which is why I had to call them to re-enable it, but only after they treated me like shit and like I was murdering babies even though I told them the DMCA claim was malicious.
I audibly scoffed when I read “As with all other Denuvo solutions, the technology integrates seamlessly into the build toolchain with no impact on the gaming experience.”
the "differently wired circuit" would be an extra stage of logic computing a carry all the way from lsb to msb (an ALU outside the ALU?) and would contribute a fair bit of extra time. Easier to just use the ALU to do it, which is inserting an extra instruction, also a time waster.
This is awesome! Can't wait to discover and interact with other designers and builders in the community!

> Conservatives have shown over and over again that they will rape and pillage the earth (and the people) if given half a chance, all for the sake of their own wants.

Ah right. I forgot that every red state in this country was a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

You're as nutty as the republicans that won't step foot in a blue state because they think they'll catch AIDs at a park or something.

And for the record, I'm a republican living in a blue state, living in a dense city, in a neighborhood built before zoning was a thing in my city, in a lovely house with many factories and shops and restaurants nearby.

Why can we not have any nuanced views in this country that aren't framed immediately as X side is so stupid and never has anything of value to say?
They will, unless you're asking them to do something completely out of their planned provisioning. Then it gets very expensive, very quickly, and you're expected to front that cost.

e.g. pricing out a run of fiber down 10 miles of dirt
road in the middle of nowhere. PtP wireless ended up being a much better deal, even after having to arrange tower space.
It's been a long time since I've dug for C++ docs but in general I found Qt to be well documented (if a bit disorganized with the newer stuff). STL documentation always seemed inaccessible to me, but then again I'm working off of some pretty hazy memories.
Thermal storage, like resistively heated sand, can also act as a backup source, since once the sand is exhausted they could then resort to burning something to get the heat.
You could have a 1 based type that doesn’t include 0. Or make zero the max value.
Love the idea. Dalle-2 is truly amazing!
I tried it over the end-of-year holiday break with my 3 boys to play Guild Wars 2 from our Macs. It sucked down over our 1.2 TB of Xfinity bandwidth within maybe just a day's worth of playing. If we would have continued, I would have easily hit the $100 additional bandwidth fee and decided we had better stop before I broke the bank.

I couldn't figure out how to reduce the video stream bandwidth with any of the settings. It worked really well technically, but without some improvements in this regard, I don't know how I can use it. I guess folks with unlimited bandwidth can make it work, but that's about it.

I paid for the full service and then promptly had to cancel all of our accounts, since it wasn't going to be viable for us.
I use an app blocker on my Android phone and the LeechBlock extension (Chrome and FF) that allows me to set filters for certain sites, certain times of day, etc.

Although I could disable the blockers if I really wanted to, I usually don't.

In the event that the blockers aren't helping, then I'll move my phone to the other side of the room so that it's completely out of reach.
For me it is literally 1/4 posts are an ad.
It's extremely relevant for putting a multifamily / condo / apartment building on the internet.

25Gbit is plenty fast enough to service dozens of units - more than twice the downlink local loop speed DOCSIS4 has, and Comcrap is still on DOCSIS 3.x.
I would go as far as firing the interviewer this is extremely unprofessional. The company decided to interview this person based on their resume.
It's cool to see that legends like Brian Kernighan are still actively contributing to their projects after all these years, but does anyone actually use anything besides gawk?
It's not specific to banking per-se and more specific to legacy companies with low engineering skill and bad practices, which are perpetuated because skilled people either don't bother applying or are unable to make changes for the better (whether due to red tape or politics) and then end up leaving them in their mess, so over time the only thing that remains there are those who can't make it anywhere else.
The problem is that CISC instructions are variable-length, so it's easy to work out how to decode the first instruction, but the second instruction depends on the length of the first instruction, and if you try to decode four instructions at once in a single clock cycle then it all gets a bit too much, which reduces your maximum clock speed.

In comparison, a RISC instruction decoder knows that each instruction is the same length, so each instruction can be decoded without depending on the ones before it. This simplifies the decoder so much that it makes it possible to decode four instructions per clock cycle without investing in too much silicon to do it, and while keeping a high clock speed.
If nothing else we can be sure he'd market it as his invention.
Doing multiple of those things at once. You're watching a movie while one kid is downloading a game and another is watching something else? I'm saying it lets your whole family never have to interact with one another.

Who are all of these people who struggle with email? What's causing so many problems? I use the built-in macOS Mail app, and it works brilliantly. It threads conversations, and I can quickly mark multiple messages as read. It's responsive and native, and even themes non-HTML email in a reliably readable dark mode.

I have a few filters set up to send annoying things to spam or a dedicated folder (alas, dear JIRA, I have never wanted to read one of your notifications). But my personal account works perfectly without any kind of filters or folders at all. I even use my protonmail accounts through the protonmail app and those work fine.

Is there something wrong with me? Am _I_ the one using email wrong? But it works well for me, and I seem consistently better at responding to messages, so... I'm mostly just confused. I use read/unread as a means of triaging "email I have to deal with" and "email I've already dealt with", but that's basically my only system.

Seriously, can someone explain this problem? In my eyes, email and RSS are pretty much the only internet protocols that have JUST WORKED for 20-30 years, my entire life. Everything else has been infected by adware and spyware and garbage. Maybe they're stagnant... or maybe they're just mature?
The AP2 Teslas were so bad at parking that the usual pro-Tesla commenter brigade barely bothered to show up.

The rest of the cars (including the AP1 Teslas) did a fine job, but the parking spots they used were fairly large. I'd be curious to know what the limits of the technology are. It seems humans can park with a foot or less of clearance, so it would be interesting to see whether automated systems can match that already.
The way I read your initial comment, it was advocating just getting rid of most cars. It's an anti-car attitude I've seen a lot, especially among hardcore cyclists. I've never understood it, even as I spent 19 years dodging traffic in Washington, DC. If I misread your tone, I apologize.

>On a lighter note, I've heard many people who have experienced the loss of a limb do well on bikes. I hope that's something you could try and find enjoyment out of if you so choose. Best of luck there. Sincerely.

Although I've gotten rid of several, I still have four bikes. I would like to ride again; but, I don't know if it's going to happen. If I do, it's for transportation; so, a prosthetic foot that clips in might not be practical if I am riding to the store or running errands. I may need a socket more suitable to riding than walking. More than anything, though, I worry that I won't be able to keel down and change a tire, out on the road. We'll see, it has not been a year yet.

Avoid Necrotizing Fasciitis and Sepsis, nothing good can come out of that combo. (Losing my leg was not the worst thing that happened that day.)

I had this exact idea, so glad it exists :)

Adding model provenance would be a good idea so you can support multiple. I was wondering if DALLE 2 embeds any metadata in the images but haven't had a chance to investigate.

I also think you should consider adding the option to clarify copyright status ... in particular, allow users to dedicate the image to the public domain via CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc...), or maybe put it under a CC BY license. May be debatable what the legal status of the images is, but a CC0 dedication would at least get rid of any ambiguity.
I'm sorry, but no, and as a mutt user myself: email sucks.

Spam. The protocol is insecure. Consolidation of major webmail providers is a huge problem on multiple fronts (censorship, third-party acceptance (of both delivery and non-GmailMicrosoftYahoo email accounts --- my Protonmail service can't talk to GetPocket's support email on Gmail for months, f'rex), spam, account hacking, authentication, repudiability (yes, that coin has two sides), workflow integrations, proprietary workflows, spam, account lockouts, lack of common email formatting and practice standards, HTML email, spam, pervasive surveillance, attachments, spam, mobile access, spam, spam, infinite diversity in proprietary messaging systems and platforms each fractally worse than email in a myrad ways, spam, spam, spam, inbox overflow, spam, spam, spam, spam, email bankruptcy.

I've had an email account nearly continuously since the mid-1980s. I've all but abandoned it in the past decade.

There is no viable replacement on the horizon, though postal mail is looking increasingly attractive.
