This framework claims it can generate a C code that is constant-time and constant-size (awesome!). However, in their manual [1], in section 4.1, it does not take into account that low-level C functions `heaton` and `heatoff` may fail since both of them are returning `void`.

Like if we should increase the temp, we can tolerate a couple of heaton fails before it reaches to some min limit.

Brilliant!
Love the idea, I've been thinking of adding a tree diagram or a social graph style exploration tool for subreddit finder, will likely add it soon so people can visualize their relationship and find similar subreddits based on a subreddit they already know.
well, i don't know where you live, but apples prices are widely different in supermarket depending on where they come from... And the difference comes in great part from the cost it took to produce them (labor, regulations, transportation, etc).
Something about this gives me the under the skin creepy feel of piles of "locked" resources sitting on peoples desk going to complete waste.

Like when they used to sell mainframes with excess processor capacity then you would pay to unlock the processor that was already there if you need it. If not it was simply manufactured to sit unused in a mainframe its entire life, then be thrown in the trash.

I didn't specifically see anything that said this in the article but there is a TON to digest in there though mdular hardware always has that built to waste vibe. Even if they claim the opposite.

These don't refute GP's definition, your examples are just missing the shared context that determines whether it's correct or not.
That approach relies on an iframe to load 3rd party sites.
Sadly, this won't work for a lot of websites like news.ycombinator.com.

Furthermore, an iframe cannot be synchronized across participants. If you and I load YouTube in an iframe, it's not guaranteed that our videos are sync'd.

With Hyperbeam, you can embed any website and the content is sync'd. Think of it like sitting beside somebody with a computer.
Yup. I see what you mean and I do think in practice conversations may proceed this way. And I think you are illustrating well the point I made above.

The key idea though is that if you make a dispassionate analysis of what this base reality must be, you find that it has certain 'attributes'. So for example, anything that has horns would not be good candidate for base reality since the contingent concept of 'horn' would need to be explained by, and derive its very existence from something much more simple. So that simpler thing would be the less bad candidate. Etc.
It is, but proceeding with this free money giveaway without fixing the underlying problem is distasteful. It's literally trying to buy votes, it's not trying to make things better for the next generations.
Nothing is wrong based on given measurements taken, their limits these days, skill set of doctor evaluating them and so on. If your lung capacity or strength of some particular heart muscle degraded by 7.3% and your veins became 2.3% more susceptible to popping nobody will find it out.

My wife is a doctor, worked on emergencies too, and the amount of "we have no clue what is wrong with him" cases is staggering. Sure they can more or less treat symptoms but often that's it.

People often make a mistake (I used to make it too) and take medicine/healthcare as some rigid science keen to astronomy or mathematics where numbers don't lie and you always know where you are and why. Couldn't be further from truth these days.

Just a random sample from me personally - had broken my foot this June, and had plaster for a month. Have taken anti-coagulant medicine during it. Stopped when plaster went away as per doctor, within few days I've developed an ache in middle of calf, it was unlike any tiredness I had ever experienced there. But that fixation made my leg stiff like wooden plank, so I thought its just super tiredness of muscles when attempting to walk again. Wife mentioned that maaaaaybe it could be thrombosis, who knows. Went to hospital, they did blood tests which young doctor concluded were below threshold so I should stop taking medicine immediately and all is a-ok. Well, luckily I also went to venereologist who did ultrasound and voila - trombosis like hell there.

I could have died anytime during this, when it gets to lungs its rather quick process, brain is no fun neither. All this in biggest hospital in Switzerland.

Generally trust doctors and science. Don't trust them blindly. I guess most folks have some stories like this, albeit I hope with less risks.
So much judgement against kids who sought an education.

I'm curious, how do you feel about politicians such as Marjorie Taylor Greene getting her $183,504 USD PPP loan forgiven? She also happens to be vehemently and vocally opposed to student loan debt forgiveness. Another one mentioned in the link below, Vern Buchanan, took $2.3 million in PPP covid loan forgiveness. He's also opposed to student loan forgiveness.

How does any of this make sense? Are we, in the USA, collectively just a bunch of selfish jerks who can't see past our own noses? The lack of empathy may not be surprising at this point, but it is embarrassing and arguably immoral and inexcusable.
I doubt many share your opinion that anything with a restricted grammar that can be parsed is a programming language.

I think your definition is closer to, if not identical to, what Wikipedia calls “Computer Language” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_language)

For me, and I think for most, the more restricted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language#Definitio... (“A programming language is a notation for writing programs, which are specifications of a computation or algorithm”) is closer to what makes a formal language a programming language.
Looking at the specs, I am slightly tempted to get this as Pi replacement.

Would it work?
The problem is that it’s difficult to distinguish whether the government caused the oligopoly, or is mitigating its (often deleterious) impacts.
There's something similar, Unicode tags https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tags_(Unicode_block):

Tags is a Unicode block containing formatting tag characters. The block is designed to mirror ASCII. It was originally intended for language tags, but has now been repurposed as emoji modifiers, specifically for region flags.
Any arbitrary string of Unicode characters would be a programming language given that above definition. Which makes of course no sense.

A syntax without predefined runtime semantics is not a programming language!

Without the interpretation semantics no (or every, depending on standpoint) computation can be described by any syntax. The definition of runtime semantics for some syntax is what creates a programming language in the first place.

Pure syntax OTOH can be given arbitrary interpretations. So it's therefore not a programming language on its own. The runtime semantic of some code is what allows us to write and execute programs.

One can't write even the most trivial programs in JSON. No "Hello World" as JSON does not offer any I/O facility. No "fizzbuz" as there are no control structures or any loops in JSON. No "Fibonacci numbers" as there are no function abstractions in JSON…

JSON is just not a programming language.

(Still a valid candidate to include in computer language collection, of course, as JSON has its merits regardless the fact there is no canonical way do write in it anything that resembles computer programs).
You know, they wouldn't have that problem if the loans could have the threat of default. You trim what you don't need and highly focus on what ensures the loan doesn't default.

It is literally risk free money so they're going to inflate the price so that they get the most for least investment and least risk.
Ask HN: Who acquires big macOS apps?
I don't want to deal with Apple any longer. My app helps college students in academic trouble organize and sustain large academic projects. It's mostly for very bright college students with ADHD. Any potential acquirers you would like to suggest?
I think the "in the wrong hands" part of your statement actually backs up what he was saying. The information by itself is useless unless someone ACTS upon it.
Will we start seeing all colleges offer LRAPs, or an equivalent to take advantage of income based repayment?
More pertinently, it seems you don't have any specific objection to any particular statement by Chomsky.
Another anecdote. I also experienced a long tail of symptoms - randomly getting tired, cough inability to write coherent paragraphs after getting COVID.

I found that exercising - starting with 10 min yoga / stretching and then slowly ramping up over 1-2 weeks - got me back to normal.
The people this helps were likely to vote D, if they were to vote. Which they mostly don't actually do. This will likely motivate some of them, at least.
What's interesting to me is how split into node type the Internet is. All the servers are Google/AWS/Azure, but there are almost no legitimate clients on those ASNs.

I've also done AS blocking (preventing certain IPs from getting a free compute trial without human intervention; this was back in the crypto days), and indeed, blocking the networks that you did is great for getting rid of bots and harms 0 legitimate users. (I think the big culprit is "free for open source" CI systems; they tend to be hosted on the major cloud providers and I found those doing a lot of command-and-control. I'm surprised those are viable to keep around for free, though.)
Only the 3G models support the PSVSD. You do have to fiddle with the drive setup, some of the adapters don't work with some FW versions, etc. It's just more of a pain IMO than dropping ROMs on an SD card like other handhelds.
> For example, one of the things they do is put "Service is included" on their menus and such, which gives the customer the impression that tip is include.

Did they just translate a european menu without thinking about what it means?

Because that customer's impression would be the correct interpretation.
You mean the orbital death ray?
It's a good thing that student loans cannot be defaulted on. That makes lenders more likely to give out loans, which helps marginalized people many of whom might be the first to ever attend college in their family. Will a bank normally give a loan to an 18 year old with no credit score, with no cosigners, whose parents either have awful or no credit?

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences. It sounds painful to see project(s) pivot like that, especially since you contributed so much to them.

What do you do now when you consider contributing to open-source projects?

What guidelines do you use to evaluate the maintainer's "ability to keep things on an even keel?"
In which case, there is zero need for casters. It’s easy to move even multi-ton stuff on flat floors with dowels.
I could just as easily ask you which party claims to be about justice, fairness and democracy?

Let's not mince words, politicians of all stripes are largely opportunistic and self-serving, and that's what the evidence is suggesting. There is not as much difference between either side on that point.
From the OC:

"Indeed, these programs are likely to be very expensive and the resulting increase in the price of tuition will lead to calls either to end the program or for price controls on education." (emphasis mine)

Terrific! A good start!

Next, unwind Reagan's privatization of higher education, end usury lending, and restore state investment in an educated populace.

While I agree with the sentiment that external dependencies are a risk, why should this be the top comment?

This person was having a service for free, having the possibility to pay and have better guarantees and is shocked that the service has changed its terms? How is this not an absurd mentality?

If gmail suddenly became paid, I would be pretty pissed, but I would have no real reason. It's a service I have for free!! Not even my taxes pay for it.

I’m not sure if you’ve accidentally responded to the wrong comment, or completely misread mine. I’m not the original commenter, hence the note on disagreeing with them on “regime change” and the magnitude of FBI’s influence, while still thinking they’ve exercised some degree of that influence over the past two elections.

If you believe that e.g. James Comey’s 2016 October surprise is completely unalarming and “just how society functions”, I think you’ll find that many in society disagree with you.

Also, I’m sorry, but you completely lost me with your second paragraph. I don’t know what you’re referring to with rogue actors and me writing books.
You can get similar functionality very cheaply on AWS from the vt1 instance type. They're a PITA to work with, which is probably why they're still around $160/mo. for enough transcode to power a small city on spot. These cards can transcode a full ladder (5 resolutions) of a 60 minute 1080p video in around 4 minutes, or the full ladder for 8 60 minute videos in parallel in about 30 minutes. Those instances are based on off-the-shelf cards that cost somewhere around $2000 each.

Guessing Google went the custom route for wider codec support, but standard hardware for this stuff is readily available in the professional broadcast industry
I had some 360 controllers that lasted ~10 years, which seems pretty good for a controller. The rubber on the top of the joysticks wore away after maybe 7 or so years, and then they eventually became wobbly.

A ~4 year old Xbox one controller just got too much drift, surprisingly enough. I was kind of disappointed. But with these small sample sizes, could just be a fluke.
I also have never had a problem with my oled model. Also hard to think other companies can match the vita’s build quality. Or spare parts supply.

Honestly, vita is life!
"Many of those complaints seem theoretical. I like to focus on practical concerns."

The only reason ever why people engage into theory, is precisely because of a deeply rooted desire to address "practical concerns". Hawking literally stated that his aim was to understand everything about the entire universe.

People who "like to focus on practical concerns" see an apple fall and (after they've seen it happen often enough and never ever otherwise) ultimately conclude that "apples fall and that's just how it is". Newton saw an apple fall and ultimately unveiled the concept of gravity. In doing so, Newton also unveiled the (admittedly extremely exceptional) circumstances in which it might be possible for us to see an apple "fall upward into the skies" after all.
except it isnt? in most countries piracy is not the same as theft, and in many of those countries you can "pirate" things you can no longer buy, that is the main reason for archive.org to still being alive.
The sd2vita is pretty easy to setup these days. I find that it can all be done with gui apps on the vita itself.

Also I just ftp and drop roms on the sd card too.
That's not necessarily true.

I have several free Slack groups that I've used for years. I haven't paid a cent. But it means I've also have Slack installed by default. At every company I've worked, I've supported using Slack because I'm a happy user and these companies have shelled out for paid plans.

It feels similar to how MS Office is given out for free to students and sold to companies.
Unless you are claiming that there are no issues that don't need government regulations, I don't see how your argument contradicts the parent post.
It self-corrects on generational timescales, which is arguably not good enough. The last "fad" of conglomeration happened in the "go go years", and a generation of business and finance types learned it was a bad idea. Now those people are all retired and a new generation is learning the lesson.
You want a list of things I disagree with pseudo intelectuals like Chomsky et al?
Most disciplines evolved in the last 40 years (looking at you psychiatry), but economics has changed rather drastically. Methods for testing theory back then were Bad. Like, really bad. Ed Leamer's 1983 paper on this (http://www.econ.ucla.edu/workingpapers/wp239.pdf) is a good read if you want the details. Beginning in the late 80s, there was a movement toward study design and credible identification. Software like Stata (and nowadays there's R, julia and python) started lowering the costs of doing data-intensive work. The 90s and 00s are full of really interesting papers pushing the frontier on what could be done do gather evidence of causality: Angrist and Lavy in 1999 using Maimonedes Rules and RDDs to estimate class-size effects, Hoxby 2000 using rivers and county borders as exogenous variation on public school competition, Acemoglu, Johnson & Robinson 2001 using colonizer death rates to estimate long-term effects of colonization. The discipline has evolved and so has our understanding of minimum wages (https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/134/3/1405/5484905), gun violence (https://www.nber.org/papers/w23510) and nation-building (https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/dell/files/paper_combined....). Pretty sure Railway Economics has changed too.

I encoded ascii using morse code with a dot becoming a space and a dash becoming a tab. I wrapped the whole thing with a trivial C program to encode/decode.

The end result was "Hello, World" in C but completely invisible. That made it possible to include code that no-one can see but will still be compiled.
IIRC, chemical bio-signatures are out of equilibrium chemicals: if some environment has only CH4 or only O2 that says basically nothing, but if it has both CH4 and O2 then (because these rapidly react to form H2O and CO2) the combination would suggest some process is creating methane and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide, which suggests[0] life.

[0] I don't know anything else which does this, but that's mostly because I'm a software engineer and my highest chemistry qualification is a 22 year old GCSE grade B.
Ekaros is correct. Lots of people pay a fixed cost for their electricity whether it is generated at peak time with lots of gas or in the middle of the night with wind and nuclear.

We don't currently do a good job of responding to price signals. We have some plans to expand this, which are being rushed into service after being neglected for a long time.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61949246

And even that has to lie about "it not being about rationing" because price signals are so foreign to the consumer energy market.

The three main U.S. antitrust statutes are the Sherman Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914.

Where is the empathy for the ones who worked hard and made sacrifices to pay off their loan? Where is the empathy for the ones who passed on a college education because they didn't think they would be able to pay off the loan?

As for the politicians you bring up, ok it's infuriating now what? 2 wrongs don't make a right.

If the US can afford to send $40 billion in weapons to Ukraine, it can afford some help to people going to college.

The government subsidizing a more educated US workforce is a "giveaway", but you don't hear that word applied to the tens of billions Lockheed Martin and Ukraine get from the US taxpayer.
The student loan forgiveness debate is such a mess. Here's just a sampling of the arguments I've seen, and I'm inclined to think there's some validity to all of them:

* Loan forgiveness creates perverse incentives
* If we can afford to forgive/bail-out X, then we can do student loans
* This punishes everyone who was responsible with their loans
* This is a huge relief to everyone with student loans
* Why should everyone else have to pay for your bad choices
* College should be free anyways, this is that, with extra steps
The way you're talking about riding sounds a lot like sex. I think any kind of live communication involves taking responsibility for (or at least awareness of) the other party's emotional state. There's a cost attached to that, can't gain a sense without losing something else.

Have you thought about writing a blog? I know counterpoint is easier than point a lot of the time, but your comment reads substantially better than the article.
I've never heard of LARPs. I perhaps we should make student loans subject to bankruptcy again, but, make the university a cosigner if they accept public loans.
apologies, i don’t understand. you seemed to suggest cars are a significant contributor to CO2 emission.
No, but you could look in the proceedings of contemporary POPLs and ACM Lisp and Functional Programming conferences.
For many professional investors (and certainly for a large class of asset management firms), the big incentive is to accumulate more AUM. Returns can be a strong marketing tool to do that, but they're not the only one.
How are degrees without job prospects (which are actually capable of paying off the non-defaultable loans) helpful to marginalized people? It seems like just the opposite effect.
Should a bank give out a loan that cannot be escaped to someone incapable of returning it?
I found it stimulating in high school (compared to most social-studies stuff). But from recently sampling it in the library: I don't think it mentioned the marginal revolution at all. E.g. Alfred Marshall did get a couple pages, but only as some kind of Victorian eminence who made some technical contributions not worth explaining.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Marshall#Theoretical_co... for what I wish the book had told me.)
