Abstract algebra.

Not lying, just too abstract for my liking.
On the post, author mention they were discussing brewing techniques, etc. That means they are enthusiasts, and not just someone that's drinking because they were handed beer tickets.

Agree that tech is a shared interest, but I talk and think about code during all work day. Don't wanna bond over that also when I have something else to talk about
Actors might be boring but speculation about the topic is endless.
Genetic Koreans are not necessarily staying in Korea, so a low birth-rate in country doesn't mean their genes will be wiped off the planet. Korea is a pretty serious exporter of people.

Obviously, the greatest thing that changed over those last 60 years is they're no longer recovering from a war that killed a pretty hefty amount of their population. While I'm sure it didn't need to decline quite so much, fertility rate was never going to stay what it was in the late 50s. You can see a pretty obvious recovery spike here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_South_Korea#/m.... It was only in the past 20 years that they declined below 1920s level.

It's also worth remembering that being oppressive to women is (definitely at least probably) not a genetically tranmissible trait. If the 22nd Century really does end up being dominated by Pakistanis, you can't just automatically assume they'll stay culturally identical to what they are today. Presumably, the Korea of the 19 century was a lot more oppressive to women than the Korea of today.
I could've written down the correct numbers for the lottery but I didn't, therefore I don't get to claim any winnings.

I think it's kind of ironic that - speaking generally - the "patriots" don't seem to care at all that a former president took state secrets after leaving office.

I wonder how big the "nothingburger" would be if it turns out he actually did leak them.
In my country volunteering at for profit organisation is illegal. Which this essentially becomes if you allow for profit corporations to use the open source software without remuneration.

That being said, if you contribute to an open source dual licensed project, you should be getting a share of the revenue coming from corporations paying for the license.

Your idea of free software is similar to that in the music industry, where corporations want to pay for the content in "exposure".

Another thing - that comes back to my first point - is that if we allow open source contributors to not be compensated, when their projects are being used commercially, we are creating inequality, where only privileged people who can afford to commit their time for free contribute to these projects, get recognition and then subsequently may be looking at getting better jobs than those who cannot afford to contribute, because they come from poor background and need to be in paid work in order to live.
In my country, when unpaid internships were legal, they were usually taken by white kids from privileged middle class families, who could pay for their food and accommodation. They were getting experience and better start in life than their poor peers.

Your idea of open source enforces inequality and is wrong!
Yes, unfortunately. Car seats and booster seats are hard items and they don't have joints to move bits out of the way. People are squishy and have moving parts. The adults won't be comfortable if they are thicker, but they can squish in - often, quite literally.

The solution to this would realistically be to have built-in booster seats or a different style of seat belt that would better fit children and eliminate the need for booster seats for the older children.

How to build a $25 Fisheye Macro Lens [video]
A better option in many cases is to check the primary key.

e.g.

select questions.Id
, questions.Text
, answers.Id
, answers.Text

from questions
left join answers on answers.QuestionId = Questions.Id

answers.Id is non-nullable as a primary key, so if answers.Text is null but answers.Id is not null they've declined to answer.
I had something similar and just used the USB to hold ... LILO at the time? Can't recall.
Well, there isn’t much to add beyond the fact them being more prone to acoustic breakage. Helicopters are a nightmare for vibrations because you have to spin the rotor really fast and forcibly, risking over-stressing critical structural components if you excite them at their resonant frequency. They’re designed to operate at only one rotor speed because that’s enough of a headache in terms of preventing it from hitting resonant modes that the structure can’t handle.

So for helicopters it’s much easier to imagine a pattern of rotor movement that will break the system — though again, getting the intuition down would require having modeled vibratory systems to see when they go out of control.

But at least it’s more intuitive than record players, which work with much smaller vibrations and generally operate in moderate volume limits.
Agreed. That's why I enjoy iterators, and use them whenever possible. I think they're important.
Run and unlock features in macOS on supported and unsupported Macs
In 12th grade I took a course on anatomy. You had to memorize things like the names of all the bones and muscles, which I found very boring and tedious. It put me off medicine. Of course, it's important that medical professionals know such things, so anatomy is certainly not "useless".
There's just a lump in the population vs. age graph and you're fixating on the back side of the lump as if it's inevitably going towards zero.

After the lump passes through South Koreans will look around and see a lack of traffic congestion, abundance of housing, lack of competitors for their now abundant resources, and lack of disproportionately large population of unproductive elderly dependents.

Wanna guess what happens in that welcoming environment? My guess is people feel inclined to make some babies.

I don't understand why people tend to treat these low fertility rates as some kind of invariable biological dysfunction. These aren't infertile masses of people; they're perfectly capable of multiplying like rabbits.

The planet has shitloads of people, maybe we're finally reeling things in from an overshoot and are on the inevitably pendulum-like path towards population stability. There's no reason to panic unless you've got substantial evidence these people are physically incapable of having children.

Edit:

How about some DATA: go to https://population.io, select Rep. of Korea, plug in some age/gender b.s. and scroll down to "Age Distribution" at the left column. Now look to the left of ~20yo (younger than 20), it's a nearly horizontal line. What does that tell you? There's a uniform rate of Korean babies per year under 20 years old. To the right of this, there's a massive lump of elderly people with a slightly smaller lump of middle-aged people. There's no reason to believe this horizontal line left of 20yo won't just continue into the future; it looks quite stable for the last ~20 years.
Eh, I like Rust and started my career doing embedded C and C++, so I definitely "grok lifetimes" but I'm probably always going to be more productive with Go than Rust (for general app development, anyway) if only because I don't have to think about memory at all with GC (again, general app development, not talking about performance optimizations). Even if I do a bunch of unnecessary cloning + Rc/etc in Rust, I'm not going to move as fast as I would do in Go.
So is "array". What's your point?
My point is that it is unambiguous once you say what you are talking about.
This is a big difference. State national guards operate a lot more like the state police than like the army. Posse Comitatus does not apply to them.

By the way, if you want to split hairs and bring up examples like Kent State, the elephant in the room is the self-defense justification in a lot of these examples. Find a killing that occurred when a soldier believed their life to be in danger.
I find it hard to believe that most people on HN reuse the same e-mail and password. That practice has always been known to be stupid. There's a whole thing about it in the movie Hackers... from 1995.

In 2022, your data isn't safe. It's widely known your data isn't safe. You need to take steps to make it matter less when its mishandled.

Don't get me wrong, the Plex infra team should feel bad about themselves, but if this breach in anyway compromises anything else in your life other than your media center -- and if your hashed password gets cracked -- then that's on you in my opinion.
Citation?

Lots of folks misremember how the Unity Home Lens feature actually worked, and that the Ubuntu installer explicitly asked you whether you wanted it enabled.

If enabled, there was no presumption of local-only search. It was front and center in your search results, and the affiliate revenue was only collected when you clicked on that Amazon result.

Canonical claimed that the search was forwarded to them, and then anonymized to Amazon. That's more than what Microsoft seems to do with Bing results in Windows search, which you can't seem to disable without installing third-party scripts.

Was it a perfect solution? No - But it was a way to make revenue in an otherwise open-source project and free of cost. Its interesting how on some days, people argue for more money towards FOSS devs, and then others argue that revenue-building systems shouldn't be implemented. Yeah, Canonical makes enterprise investments, but they're obviously weren't in the realm of Red Hat in terms of enterprise support.
Java Streams API is not panacea
Many/most people "in the know" peg it somewhere in the ballpark of ~90-95% chance of success from what I've seen.
`x` and `y` are also problematic, though slightly less so. The biggest issue I have is that they're similar in appearance. `abc` is much better, because they're clearly different from each other, if you're married to single-letter values.

`i` and `j` are usually indicative an index for something, and indicating what you're indexing makes the code clearer to read and easier to maintain. `idxUsers`, `idxPosts`, for example. `x` and `y` are a bit trickier because they're very frequently the canonical positional co-ordinates, and renaming them can actually make it _harder_ to read, so (like all things in naming) is a real judgment call, but frequently can be replaced with `col` and `row`, which, to me reads _much_ clearer, especially when using row-major access pattern: `array[row][col]`.
Glad to see the in person events are coming back! The prerecorded ones were just missing the fun.
Title may be correct. First sentence is totally wrong. Why would I read further?
Good thing we weren't comparing nameplate then but instead comparing ability to meet baseload on a cost basis (that thing that's supposed to be most strongly in favour of nuclear) and finding the result insanely in favour of renewables

5kW nameplate nuclear is 3-4.5kW net with 10-40% of the time needing total backup and zero ability to meet higher peak demand.

The system I described needs 2.4 hours of peak sunlight spread throughout a day or 15 hours of wind in a day or 30kg of biofuel (not doable for very many days) or 30kg of imported fuel or any combination with the battery averaging 1-5(ie. you meet ~85% of load with wind/biofuel and draw ~20% of battery) days to meet the 5kW target. It also has a massive peak capacity which dwarfs the nuclear system during half of the year. You might need to tilt the panels two or three times a year in parts of Canada or similar, and maybe import a few days worth of ethanol (or any other stable hydrocarbon you can run your generator on) each year, but this is still less backup than a fission plant needs.

Couple it to an uncorrelated system or trade some solar for an electrolyzer and fuel cells and you can reduce reliance on imported fuel even more. Solar cells and batteries will also better than halve in price well before your plant is finished -- likely making it impossible to even run, let alone recoup your costs. Additionally perovskites work better with partial shade and are quite likely to hit cost parity with solar so the nameplate value can be reduced (or reliability on a still, cloudy, winter, northern morning will increase).
From viewpoint of organizing backups separating system stuff from host specific makes some sense. Also, you can put /usr/local on separate volume, this allows mounting rootfs read-only which can be useful in some cases.
And you fell for the fossil fuels propaganda claiming nuclear is too expensive to without subsidies. Seriously.. new nuclear is on the drawing board with huge investments in the UK, France and Sweden.

Nuclear will be cheap when the industry grows and reactor designs are standardized.

It's really simply the superior technology any way you look at it and the "nuclear is too expensive" is just a tired and arguably false argument against it. I'm so sick and tired of people saying that it's too expensive to save the planet..
We (at DuckDuckGo) actually have no current relationship (or commercial deal) with Debian. They did this on their own. That is, there is no revenue share here.

Also, we no longer use the Amazon affiliate program, or Yahoo for that matter, and we don't (and never have had) any idea what any individual bought.
Biking at night is generally very relaxing, as long as you have bright lights and keep an eye out for drunks it’s generally better than biking during the day IMO
oh yeah.. I kinda forgot about that.. :)
Probably either journalist or freelance writer. Maybe a tech writer at some big firm or another.
Not really, the US military practically has a blank check.

I can think of multiple decade-long government projects off of the top of my head (including from NASA) that had entire programs scrapped because they ran out of money.

Overages from a single military program, like the F-35, have eclipsed the entire budget of those canceled projects.
I'm not sure anything I've studied is "useless", but the most boring (for me) was geography.
Piracy is still better and cheaper.
Yeah I mean who cares if that changes happens over millennia, centuries, or decades? I for one welcome the yearly "once in a lifetime" disasters :)
That's the ideal. This is my third HN account. My previous two accounts disappeared after I make relevant references to my app. The use of power corrupts.
162 pages to replace the one degradable component. Apple sets the environment back by making this a hurdle, but it definitely helps their shareholders.
I was thinking about the spontaneous appearance of particle anti-particle pairs in a vacuum. Can you say conditions x, y, and z are responsible for those particles appearing at that instant and there's no other way it could have gone?
The phrase doesn't literally mean anything. Does the phrase "open door" mean the door is freely available? Does the phrase "open book" mean the book is freely available?

It's great that the phrase "open source" has been so intuitively understood but to claim it has an obvious literal meaning is just nonsense.
The tags should reflect that if it's really about the niche and not the ethnicity.
Does anyone see when the cutoff is? I went back earlier this year in February to finish my bachelor's and took out some loans, will those be getting paid off by this?
Student loan forgiveness will cost US $300B
Saw this posted elsewhere, originally from
https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-to-announce-student-loan-forgiveness-plan-11661331600

"Independent estimates suggest the plan will cost more than $300 billion over 10 years."

To me, that $300 billion could have made more impact elsewhere, for more important and time-sensitive issues.

I usually follow the idea of letting new content (books, TV’s, movies) sit around for a decade or so and then going for the ones that are still well known.

Of course there are exceptions. Those ones are available for purchase on Apple TV or are showing in theatres. For the rest, there are box sets on Amazon/EBay
Hetzner sells v6 only dedicated servers, you have to pay a little extra for a v4 address now. So yeah, I'd consider it pretty common.

I have a weather station I run on T-Mobile which is v6only with a ipv4 CGNAT. I just Cloudflare the v6 endpoint and my legacy (v4) users can visit the station.
I think this stems from a misunderstanding of the entire point of SQL. It isn't about looking at data in an individual table, it's about retrieving a Result Set for complex queries.

All the FROM-first examples I've ever seen are almost universally the simplest query in the world where autocomplete is not a large hurdle anyways because you aren't even bothering with table aliasing. As soon as you do anything even moderately complex (multiple joins, subqueries, calculations, etc.) the advantage of putting FROM first vanishes, and if you're adding a table alias or hard reference to the table you can already see what is in the SELECT list AND in many cases get autocomplete.
Accountant or auditor.

I'm not sure that a tidy room demonstrates good time management, but I don't really have any problem asking a candidate to demonstrate their work environment allows them to be productive.

For better or worse, if a candidate is going to work from home, I don't really get a warm and fuzzy feeling if they demonstrate that is from their couch.

C# 2022 is much improved over earlier versions. For starts it's cross platform and compiles to reasonably sized single executables (touted as a strength of Go). Moreover, C# designers have started reducing boilerplate as much as possible, so for example, you don't need to declare a namespace, a class or a main to start coding.

That said, Go is a fine language. It doesn't have exceptions last I checked, so that could be a deciding factor. Exceptions are handy in a lot of cases.
A government spending billions of taxpayer dollars on an attack which can be reversed in an afternoon with a new software update is more likely to be an existential threat to that government than to Ethereum.

The sort of software update I'm imagining is one which just zeroes the holdings of the government wallet(s), and continues the chain from just before they launched their attack.

I am not very familiar with any of these, but here is the short list of things I've compiled from past HN threads, that might be alternatives to heroku that provide similar affordances to heroku.

Most of them I have done no more than look at the website and determine that, yeah, it was similar to heroku for my personal criteria of what makes something similar to heroku. (Some things suggested in past threads did not meet them and I didn't keep on my list).

Perhaps excel is 99% SQL and not the other way around, especially since SQL is older.
Python is fine, use the typing module, don't be weird with the return types and you will be fine. Sure, you will actually have to think about your algorithm when writing for speed, and naive loops won't work most of the time. But "avoid python in production" or "don't write new code in python" is way too harsh.
That is unrelated to what the person you're responding to said.
All emissions and pollution and environmental laws are both aspirational and serious/real, so I still don’t understand your point. Why shouldn’t laws be aspirational? I disagree with that notion. Setting goals and standards is one of the biggest reasons laws exist.

I hate cycling (bicycling). Hate every aspect of it. There are ways for me to get healthy but I always prefer driving over cycling.

The benefits are tremendous and not even close:

- Faster for most of America, unless you're in places such as Manhattan.

- Can use normal clothes, no need to specially dress up for it

- Can enjoy beverages, music and audiobooks, you can do that on a bicycle but not as safe

- Better quality of air to breathe

- Not going to get stolen

- Not going to get robbed

- Much much safer, modern automobiles are riduculously safe

- Better for the knees

- No need to worry about weather. Flip of a switch and it is awesome, instant heat or cold

- Luxury vehicles are incredibly comfortable

- Cost of cars + insurance + fuel is not a problem for me

- I really don't care about energy consumption, I am not going to give up modern QoL for some ostensible collectivist goal like cycling or eating bugs. We have unlimited source of energy (Sun), we're going to be fine in the future

- Much more fun (subjective). I love driving, especially manual transmision cars and performance cars with great suspension
Why are you joining on a nullable column in the first place?

If your database is well designed, joining on a nullable column should be a relatively exotic use case, and can be handled by writing a tiny bit more code to check for NULLs before performing your join.
True, a few weeks can mean a few milestones at that age. It's still wild to me how quickly babies/kids develop. Every week brings new abilities, experiences, and emotions that weren't there before.

In some countries, lower-quality garbage is incinerated to generate electric power.
There was a notable case where road debris hit fitting on a 2 psi coolant line in a Tesla and the owner was told they would have to pay $16,000 for a new battery pack to deal with damage to a flange on the line out of pocket because no insurer would pay to replace a $16,000 battery for want of a 5 dollar piece of plastic.

The solution was a slightly more expensive $15 piece of metal and $700 in labor.

If you look at how new appliances are made with difficult to replace electronics which ought to be trivially replaceable for cheap if you weren't getting bent over by the manufacturer you might begin to notice a pattern.

Manufacturers are saving their pennies at the expense of hardware that fails outside of warranty and makes them $100 bills for their trouble of doing a bad job in the first place.

Their is little reason to build to last when bad work pays dividends in the long run.
