"The Complete Dictionary of Hebrew Language" has about 35,000 words in total. I bet that over a half of that aren't used, and would sound completely new to anyone except Hebrew linguists.

Hebrew is a "tabular" language that can be represented as a (sparsely populated) table with the roots as rows and "morphemes" (construction patterns) as columns. If a word exists, it will be in its proper place at an appropriate row and column.

Here's an example of a construction pattern for the category of "tools":

maXXeXa

The X denotes a place to put the root letters. Most of the roots are composed of three letters, and so there are three places.

When you combine it with the root S.R.T which has a meaning of "ribbon" (and also, film), you get "maSReTa" — "a tool for making films" (video camera).

If you combine it with the root Ts.L.M which has a meaning of "image", you get "maTsLeMa" — "a tool for making images" (still camera).

Even if you never heard the word "maVReGa" but are able to separate it into the morpheme of "tools" and the root V.R.G (which has a meaning of clock-wise motion), you can use that to understand the word as "a tool for making clock-wise motion" — a screwdriver.

Your source contains no number for the amount of radiation released into the ocean in absolute terms or relative to Chernobyl. It only says that a higher percentage made it to the ocean, which is meaningless because Chernobyl is inland. It also doesn't say what tangible effects the radiation release had on the ocean.
I have long thought that the uninterrupted series of 7-day weeks will be one of the hardest things to change that humanity has. I don't see how it can be done. It is so embedded in our culture. I think it will never happen as long as civilisations exist.

No one is saying Privacy.com like methods are, for lack of a better word, wrong. Go ahead and fight unethical behavior with your own unethical behavior. The concern is that, despite unethical behavior being legal, you being unethical back doesn’t void the contract.
Exactly. It's a bunch of stock standard issues.
What good is the paper trail? Does it prove to the voter that the electronic machine recorded the vote as intended? If so, how?

A sister comment just asked what we would do about selling votes. Well, if you can use the piece of paper to prove how you voted, I guess you “can sell your votes”
It's a shame the executives running Delta aren't hit with crippling fines. The ability of individuals to hide behind the mask of a corporation is perhaps the worst thing about modern capitalism.

Not really. Even "True the Vote" is supposedly nonpartisan.

GUI toolkits? Maybe?

I wonder how much of the "everything is a service, access this calculator for a small monthly fee" problem is due to how poor GUI toolkits are.
Ironically, it that person thinks they would hate their "parents" if they had made them a clone, their clone would probably actually hate them!

I don't know much at all about game development circles, but have a fair appreciation of others areas using c or c++ for combinations of high performance, low level, bare metal, etc. I've found some shops that very specifically use c, but other that use "c++" but that means "pretty c-like, with a few c++ features but don't you dare do x,y,z". Some of these variants are pretty simple, but it's enforced by code/design review (and sometimes tooling) not the language.

I think it is more, or different than "our bodies are unique" and something else entirely.

Saying someone has "depression" is like saying someone has "a stomach ache". The stomach ache might be Crohn's, an ulcer, food poisoning, or the aftermath of too many hot wings. All would show at least a somewhat similar cluster of symptoms, different based on the person, but all "stomach ache". Imagine the same for depression, but we don't necessarily have the labels or causes pinned down very well.

There probably are many conditions under depression that we'll eventually have good diagnoses for and consistent treatments for, just not yet.

It's not a matter of "everybody is unique" but that the science and testing is quite primitive so far and only some of the distinctions and treatments have been worked out.
It is spanish! ;-)

I remember my younger days when Hristo Stoichkov came to play with Barcelona FC.
A very aggresive and sweary player, a few years later he left to play for Parma FC, and while playing in Italy, he kept swearing in spanish!

I even saw him doing the same while playing for Bulgaria.
I'm a British guy living in Finland and am of course learning the language. I'm not sure if this article is a joke, but Finnish is quite a difficult language to learn quickly. However, it is true that Finnish has some great features, and I'm very lucky to be learning this than some other language.

I'm also a fan of auxiliary languages and think some of these constructed languages are a much better choice for a "world language" because of just how fast one can learn them. My personal favourite being Interlingue (aka Occidental). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingue

Related to both these points, there is a savant called Daniel Tammet, who is a polyglot amongst other things. I hear his favourite language is Finnish and he has constructed a language based on it (and other Finnic languages) called Mänti. I haven't checked it out yet, but it sounds appealing to me at least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet

Thank you.

And yes - not much to almost nothing has changed.
Some googling shows ~20 million software developers around the world. Some googling shows roughly 2 billion households globally and 50% of them have a PC in their household. So let’s say 1 billion PC users.

20 million / 1 billion = 2%

So yes, it seems like a small market relatively.

It's reasonable to think I'm immersed with Finnish, but I live in a part of Finland that is Swedish speaking, even by law (https://satwcomic.com/difficult-love). I have a Finnish speaking manager since 6 years back. We've never spoken anything else than English.
I'll save you five minutes. Almost everything beyond boilerplate is redacted. It just confirms the basic narrative known and doesn't say much beyond they have reason to believe classified docs were at mar a Lago.
France's nuclear plants are failing to provide for the country's needs because incompetent politicians shut down perfectly functional plants like Fessenheim, and in general refused to invest to maintain the system and preserve expertise. French nuclear didn't fail on its own merits, it was sabotaged.
Possibly industrial automation and control systems

I heard once from a recruiter that a lot of the air traffic communications in the defense industry are losing old timers and there's not enough young blood to replace them. That could've just been him trying to sell me the job though

I like that you can do this and appreciate the knowledge, but it seems slower than just typing in your password, and kind of breaks my flow by removing my hand from the home row.
A Nissan leaf would be perfect if it had active battery cooling. Replacement batteries prices eye watering (relative to purchase price), and Nissan Leaf batteries lose capacity rapidly (based on older models), especially in hot climes
Nuclear power is cheaper when built in serial production. That's the basic conclusion of any analysis of the history of nuclear power construction. There's nuance as to why, but the basic pattern is that putting an order of 40 steam generators [1] is cheaper than a run of just 4 of them. Similar deal with specialized pumps and other nuclear power components. Suppliers can re-use infrastructure and expertise, and get better deals on input materials by guaranteeing a stable demand.

France's nuclear program in the 70s was much more effective than current nuclear projects because of that economy of scale. They build ~50 reactors of only a few types. The US is similar: many of its plants built in the late 1960 and 1970s delivered power at $2-3 billon USD per GW (adjusted for inflation), and some of them under $2 billion per GW. And these aren't equal to other forms of generation: nuclear power's capacity factor is among the highest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor

It's such a negative thought experiment isn't it?

Not saying it doesn't hold some water but man it's bleak.
tell that to france and their inability to generate power with many reactors because either the rivers are dry or too hot. How is that a sustainable solution
Do you have any pointers to things worth reading? I've always sworn if I started a tech company one of the first 10 employees would be a librarian because it needs to be someone's job to organize the information, and you're right the automatic systems for doing it are horrible.

Search isn't enough because search doesn't help you if the philosophy behind how the information is organized doesn't make sense -- if what you need is spread around between 100 slack messages, emails, and unconnected unmaintained wiki pages. You need someone (or ideally a team) whose job it is to one one hand organize that information themselves, and on the other hand create a framework so it's easy for the non-librarians to put things in the right place.

But right now the majority of tech companies are like libraries without librarians, the patrons are just wandering around sticking the books on random shelves and wondering why nobody can ever find anything.
Do you find Esperanto is closer to a full language? Does it avoid the burden of learning a full language? To me I am excited by the potential to learn a whole language in a day. Like learning the entire syntax of C vs. C++. To at least know the words well enough to enter into a language world and begin writing and parsing programs with the full syntax. Maybe we are not at the '1 day' learning stage yet but the potential seems there.

The big question is really if its possible to 'think' in the language. Have you been able to get into the stage where its like thinking? But then your thought feels limited? I feel like people have proven its possible to think in it though I'm not there yet. I am still at the puzzle stage. Thinking it in unlocks abilities like how AI are now are able to think in terms of human language.
I remember those 8" (WANG) floppies.

Ketamine also has the effect of creating neuroplasticity in the 24 hours or so following administration. Even the nasal spray.
> and consists mostly of watching gauges and other indicators

And logs. You forgot taking logs* — or is that done automatically these days? It's been decades since I've been in a nuclear plant, so I have no idea.

* That is, recording readings of various indicators.
> Yet all these materials are cheap.

Yes, in large part because the safeguards are not nearly as strong. (And a lot of the rest is because the safeguards impede research on how to make nuclear cheaper.)
Ask HN: How many CPU / GPU cycles are wasted unnecessarily?
For years I have been asking this question to myself: how much code actually wastes CPU / GPU cycles, assuming optimization flags are set to their highest option possible?

Is there actually such thing with the flags set on, or not?

I'm really curious.
Something in MS Teams (bleh) is called "skype".

Though to be fair, we've all seen that kind of thing in the code and just left it well alone rather than pull on thr string and own the broken pieces you'll be handed for you trouble.
Finnish is ranked as category 4 language out from 5 as how hard it is to learn, for English speakers

After Chernobyl clouds containing radioactive material where blown westwards by the wind and eventually those clouds rained down over parts of Germany. To this day if you go out hunting for example wild boards in those areas they have to be tested for radioactivity before they can be processed further, since their diet mostly consists of mushrooms and plants that contain a lot of Caesium-137 from that rainfall back in 1986.
Congrats, that sounds awesome (not cynically)!

But I think there's a big difference between owning your own business (where you make all the big decisions, you dictate the business values, and are directly responsible for the value you add to the world) and doing CRUD for some company whose values you're not necessarily aligned with.

Also, I'm not saying one can't or absolutely shouldn't seek fulfillment in their daily job, I do too; but only to some degree. In my experience It's far too easy (and common) to overly tie one's identity with the job, forfeiting other important sources of fulfillment.

And of course, different people find meaning in different things; what works for me may not work for OP, what works for you may not work for me.
Then it’s the issue of overcharging. You know when your checking account is $0 that you can’t spend. Besides, many bills can’t be paid with credit cards.
With this type of surveillance and the push to go back to the physical office, a lot of companies are wising up to employees who were taking multiple jobs remotely. What’s sad is that it ruins it for the rest of us, who were honest and diligently working one remote job. This is why we can’t have nice things.

You mean one of the politically activist dictionaries like Webster, which have lately frequently changed the definition of words like "racism"? I'm sure if it becomes an issue they'll change their definition of "race" too, if they haven't already.

And sure, not all races correspond directly to a specific HG, but all races have clear genetic differences which can be identified and classified purely mechanically. Multi-locus fixation clustering is an example of one such mechanical procedure. Unsupervised, something like k-means will generate racial groups equivalent to the ones humans come up with intuitively.

In your case, the HG in question obviously corresponds to one such cluster.
Only for criminal cases. Not civil, which these cases could be.
Would love to find out more about the lessons that you've learned in the process
>The idea is you define how the GUI should appear by describing it. The GUI changes in real time based on what you describe.

That's how Oberon Gadgets were working. Later the same idea was used in Blackbox Component Builder.
> So in my free time I try to learn to be a full stack developer (they -- the school -- learn you to become this) and the most part I hate is the front-end one, nothing wrong with HTML, CSS is easy but hard to master with it; and I lose interest in the back-end part, web frameworks, React, Ember, Vue [...], I know they made the work more easier, it's not for me.

Sounds like you are not swayed by the hype. Good! Most of the websites using these frameworks do have no actual need for them. Most even render merely statically renderable content without actually interactive widgets. However, it would probably be difficult to find frontend jobs without parading any of the hyped frameworks on the CV.

Fortunately there are many other things for a software developer to do in non-frontend jobs.
This is the sort of comment I love to see on hackernews. Really interesting analysis
I was watching a Pixar movie and wondered, "what if these resources were spent in creating, say, scientifically accurate animations of biological processes for people who are learning chemistry, anatomy, genetics, etc." We all have seen small animations of processes, but some are inaccurate or simplified due to time and money constraints. I've dreamed about this since I was a kid.
Having the same weekday a specific day of each month sounds so boring. I like the variation with our current calendar. Sometimes your birthday is on a weekend, sometimes not, sometimes Christmas is on better or worse days than other years. Easter may be early or may be later. It makes the year more interesting.

You missed an important phrase about the nose push maneuver: "With tiger sharks..."

That suggests likely species differentiation.

Great Whites don't seem to follow the same rules since people studying them are pretty much always seen in metal cages to protect themselves. That nose maneuver might end with a missing arm.

And then you have nurse sharks. You can avoid attack from them simply by not threatening them first.
Very interesting. I've long sought the divine in the machine but haven't found a satisfactory avenue to pursue it so I went back to Catholicism instead. It provides answers to our suffering that hedonism ignores.
Internet English has different "regional variety" than real life, for example I have litterally never heard "grok" in real life but I read it here fairly often.
Because I’ve come to the realization that there maybe some people that have the time, drive and intelligence to look at all the facts and come to the “right” decision but in the overwhelming number of cases people don’t want to do this exercise and will rely on frameworks provided. If one isn’t provided they’ll come up with their own and there’s no guarantees any of it will work out for the good of society.

This coupled with the fact that there is currently a firehose of “information” that I doubt even people with the best of abilities and intentions can adequately grok if they’re not specifically paid for the time to think about them.

There’s process and digital tools on the one end and on the other the ugly truth that almost everyone building spaces - be it commercial or residential - will be fed up with the low wages they get for the treciourous work they have to do in most cases since the number of people in “western countries” willing to work in construction is rapidly falling.
That was my first thought - I hate this, but I understand why they're doing it.
Why did you order it if you didnt agree with that policy? They warn you on the product page with giant red lettering. Did you not understand it? Or that it is not a consumer product?
I'm watching the Netflix doc "How to Change Your Mind" about this subject. They use similar language: e.g. that psilocybin causes terminal cancer patients to view death with "curiosity". I find that really interesting, because implicit in this "curiosity" must be the idea of consciousness existing after death...otherwise what would be curious about it? You just die and there's nothing otherwise. So I wonder if, e.g. atheists or non-spiritually inclined folks have the same experiences in these drugs.
Would it be illegal to put up a billboard ad which includes a large stop sign in the ad copy? Like, "{STOP}: hummus time" for a Mediterranean restaurant?
Appearance is definitely important. Of course, you can generally have the same design whether the site is server-rendered or client-rendered, with the difference being interactivity more than visual appeal. Additionally, you can get very far with over-the-wire approaches like LiveView/Hotwire.
> Maybe it's different elsewhere but I was amazed how much convincing I had to do to get people to adopt practices that are just taken for granted in the software world, like auto-formatters.

I've found that my tolerance for spicy depends entirely on the spice. Chili peppers? Intolerable to me. Even "mild" dishes are too uncomfortable, and anything spicier is impossible for me to eat.

On the other hand, horseradish or wasabi is no problem even in high concentrations. Black pepper is no problem as well.

It seems to me that there must be a biochemical reason for the differences.
That’s the whole point, no? Tie identity to the machine itself, not a piece of data that can be stolen.

BTW, if you have a key that you copy around to multiple machines, you’re doing it wrong!
Batteries not included, it seems. This would get hugely more effective with opinionated defaults for various common JS frameworks such as express.
Again? At this point, I would think the only people willing to use them are the people who don't keep up with this kind of news, which is a lot of people I guess.
Seriously, I've had my share of horror stories on government systems. Do they just not dogfood their own product? Where is their QA team? It's atrocious how basic tasks are so broken all the time.

Very strange product. The benefit of traditional rail freight is scale and cost over long distance. The benefit of truck freight is last mile delivery (no need for warehouse storage, can make multiple stops, etc). Their product seems worse than either except that it’s electric. Fortunately, electric trucks are well within reach.

Cool that they are building the tech though, maybe it will get bought out by an actual logistics/freight company that can find a use for it.
If they produce "spy" risc-v processors, no.

State sponsored extortion is still a thing.
