I guess it’s similar to comparing a $100,000 sports car to a $100 bicycle. The bicycle is a lot better than walking, but surprisingly a 1000x price difference is considered reasonable even when both products carry out the same superficial function. Here the price difference is only 100x.

Certainly Bloomberg is a much better value proposition (functionality divided by cost), but of course there is a market for cheaper and less capable options.
I think these devices make a lot of sense. No big monitors anymore.

Nobody is freezing to death, please leave the hyperbolic arguments aside it doens't add anything to the discussion. If she hadn't won the elections then the nuclear plants would definitely have been gone. Her staying in power was the better opportunity to retain nuclear.

> If you're solving a five-figure problem for one client and a seven-figure problem for another using basically the same solution, why charge them the same?

Do you have a script for sussing out the value of solving a problem for any given client?

I guess savvy clients might pretend that it's not all that important/valuable to them, to prevent contractors from bidding it up.
Speed bumps and curvy roads aren’t necessarily going to be effective at traffic calming; it depends on the context. For example, are they very wide curvy roads? Because those aren’t actually going to slow down drivers.

Beyond that, yes, even with traffic calming some people will be reckless. That’s when enforcement comes into play, but it only works effectively on neighborhood streets in concert with traffic calming. (Otherwise you’ll waste your resources and make people mad because everyone will be speeding!)
I don't know if that person would be right or wrong for that role since I don't know enough about acting in that sense. I envision myself being a terrible caster (but not on this specific matter).

It appears you believe skin color isn't compatible with a role, but I don't care about it; I only care about the actor's performance, and if the actor's skin is incompatible with the script we make it compatible. Either we change the skin color, or the script.
It would also have significant trade and its artifacts would show up along the traderoutes.
Did anyone immediately look at the scrollbar and not read the article because of it?

Anyway, I hate articles that just say "hard work":

> So here’s the #1 secret to success and a career of working in your underwear: You have to work harder than anyone else. Period.

Imagine how many books have been written that have gone unread but the author "worked hard" to no success.

> I did most of my writing as a yacht captain, roofer, and bookseller.

Sounds like they had plenty of free time to write. Good for them.

> 7) Live fully and cheaply. Yes, this goes with the craft of writing. Writing is much more than putting your butt in a seat. It’s making sure you have the time and financial freedom to write, and it’s ensuring that you have something to write about when you do plant that butt.

I'm going to stick with Steven Pressfield's advice of "put your ass where your heart wants to be". You don't have to live fully nor frugally to be a writer. If you're writing to gain your financial freedom, then you need time. I like simple advice like "do at least something towards your book everyday".
> the standard adder designs have linear area in the number of bits, and logarithmic propagation time from inputs to outputs.

It's a linear number of gates, but slightly worse than linear area due to routing. (I've looked for a strictly-linear design before, so if you have such a design, I'd quite appreciate a citation.) It's still much better than N log N area, though, so your point stands.

Hello Tristan, thank you kindly! I will send you an email when I'm back in my dungeon. Cheers
Number one priority for onboarding is giving new users something interesting to see. We've made big strides in this direction this year. There's a new "Explore" screen in our official apps that shows trending posts, hashtags, and news articles. We also have a system of follow recommendations.
That’s a very charitable reason: this post is long on unsupported allegations starting with the title and boils down to the author not understanding security as well as he thinks and claiming it’s Homebrew’s fault that something unsupported requires more work.
Knuth has explained that he rewrote TeX with fixed point to get reproducibility; this is not a speculation from first principles, but a hard-won battle scar. But it's not specific to text layout either; almost any chaotic system has the same reproducibility problem if you rerun the same program with the same inputs (including seeds) on new hardware, or, often, even with a new version of the compiler or different compilation options.

Of course the whole point of things like Kalman filters is that they are insensitive to small quantitative errors, and as you say you worked hard to ensure your programs as a whole were also insensitive; experience with things like that can lead your intuition astray.
I believe this highlights a culture gap. I think it's hard for one to identify as an introvert according to the western manifestation of introversion. In India it might be practically impossible to ever find alone time and most introverts might be well adjusted to socializing and have lower levels of anxiety in social situations.

So I'd say that introversion "in India" manifests itself by having a smaller trusted social circle, having an aversion to partying and making the most of the occasional alone time one might find.

I'm speaking mostly from personal experience. I could be terribly wrong. Now that I've moved away from India and live in Europe, my lifestyle very much resembles what someone in the west expects an introvert to have.
Yeah, it's kind of weird. Apparently they went through with the auction all the way past bidding, and then decided they didn't want to sell. The auction had no legally binding agreement that could prevent this, but they seemed to believe that they did. Fair enough, I certainly would think backing out of an auction after selling wouldn't be possible.
That's only partially true. You can cut forests down before they burn and finish the product into something that won't just be burnt. Then people can store the carbon compacted, and in their homes. Or honestly, you could just bury it underground if you wanted.

Trees are biological mechanisms for capturing carbon. We don't need to invent anything new.
There are also arguments that a certain amount of rule breaking is neccesary in society to support innovation. A society with no rule breaking becomes static.
Yes. It was a matter of time because MOST 7 nm processes are still using older UV steppers which China already has.

The trick is multi-patterning which is hard but merely requires some math, some programming, attention to detail and good control. 7 nm typically requires 4x multi-patterning or more. Multi-patterning gets you below diffraction limits by reversing the diffraction into multiple pattern offset exposures. What China has is "Deep UV photo lith" which is 193 nm from an ArF excimer laser. Classic diffraction limits would say you can only get line resolution down to half that. With multi-patterning you can go below that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_patterning

What China still doesn't have is EUV which negates any multi-patterning at 7 nm and you can use milder, low order multi-patterning at smaller nodes. Without EUV, SMIC is mostly locked to 7 nm.
It doesn't sound to me like you were using brew as brew was intended to be used, if you are able to replace it with asdf. Asdf is extensible, but it doesn't have any kind of way to replace casks, or system package management. It is fine for managing js/ruby/etc environments, but that's it.
The out of the box experience of Pycharm is just amazing. Agreed you can do all this with VScodium or even Vim but it's all so much setup...
It is cheaper than the other alternatives and Germany didn't have any LNG terminals, so it makes sense to choose this. Hindsight bias is easy.

Not really, the sheriffs traveled outside their county and seized the goat without a warrant.

Where I come from this is called “cattle rustling” and is a hanging offense. Well, not really since I’m originally from California but it is definitely an illegal search and seizure.

Pretty sure they could’ve just told the sheriffs to fuck off and called the local law enforcement to straighten out that mess but most people won’t do that because they show up with tactical body armor and assault rifles.

—edit—

Contrary to TFA they did indeed have a warrant to seize Cedar…a dubious warrant maybe but a warrant they did have.
This topic keeps coming up here at HN as if nobody ever saw it before. As a former designer and author in the wind energy industry, I can say that it's novel, and worthy of exploration.

But, I need to point this out: it does not yet exist. It's a design concept. Visit their website to see what else you can learn about it [1]

This sounds very similar to my experience. I have persistent depression - usually pretty minor, but sometimes worse than others - and social anxiety, and recently started psychedelic therapy with ketamine (I’m still on my SSRIs, which keep things in check, but certainly aren’t a cure).

I didn’t experience any psychedelic effects, but my mood was significantly improved during the weeks after. Anxiety greatly diminished, confidence greatly increased and I for the first time in a few years, I feel like I have a path to conquering my impostor syndrome.

I’m not yet totally comfortable telling my social circle that I’ve been prescribed horse tranquilizers, but I’ve been an immediate convert to the possibilities of these courses of treatment. I can’t say it isn’t psychosomatic or the placebo effect at work, but I’ve been frankly shocked at how quickly it worked for me and how well it has seemed to work.

Python context managers are actually very similar to guard objects in C++ and Rust.

What I meant was something like this (could also be done with `contextlib`, but it's also verbose)

seen_names = {}

class EnsureUnique:
def __init__(self, name: str):
self.name = name

def __enter__(self):
if self.name in seen_names:
raise ValueError(f"Duplicate name: {self.name}")
seen_names.add(self.name)

def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):
seen_names.remove(self.name)

def bar():
with EnsureUnique("foo"):
do_something()
...

With defer this could be simplified to

static seen_names: HashSet<&[u8]> = HashSet::new();

fn bar() {
if !seen_names.insert("foo") {
panic!("Duplicate name: foo")
}
defer seen_names.remove("foo");

do_something();
}

"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?'

> are the US willing to make the changes necessary to create meaningful impact on the rates of recidivism - or shall we continue to be fed "pull yourself up by the bootstraps! We found one guy who did it, and so can you!" stories?

I think what the US first needs is a general cultural shift towards crime and criminals. I don't want to generalize too much, but the general attitude is that criminals are barely human monsters, and that every bad thing that happens for the rest of your life is "don't do the crime then!!!111" You know, stuff like this.[1] And don't even get me started on things like "At $249 per day, prison stays leave ex-inmates deep in debt" from last week.[2]

Funny how such an allegedly Christian nation doesn't seem to understand forgiveness. Guess I didn't read the Bible right shrug.

Would that include things like encryption? No exceptions for your rule?
Big companies having the left hand not know what the right is doing is hardly a new phenomenon.
Changing the install prefix for a project like Homebrew is hard, because directory names frequently get embedded in executables and configuration files. The ARM migration was a convenient time to make the switchover, because everything had to be rebuilt anyway.
It is probably hard to do while the computer is asleep.
> Remarkable how much leaders can not know about their company's operations!

Oh please. These are large corporations, I would honestly be flabbergasted if leadership knew every mundane detail. Particularly in the benchmarking issue you noted, it's pretty easy to understand how that could have been added as legal boilerplate, but just went too far.
Another thing that stood out to me is that all participants actually received psilocybin, it’s just that one group took 25mg vs the ssri group that took 1mg. It’s certainly a very small dose, but it’s a powerful chemical that seems to have effects even at these microdose levels. It would have been nice to see a group that had no psilocybin at all.

For this kind of stuff it's usually better to check things like life expectancy, satisfaction etc.

Many times, it's just a different way of money routing to run the services that sustain a society. Nothing is free, it doesn't really matter if you first get the money into your bank account and then distribute it to hospitals and schools personally or you don't see the money in your account and it's distributed on your behalf to schools and hospitals.

Fun fact, in Europe they sell plane tickets to America where you can go and pay for your education and healthcare like just like an American.

The real plight of our times is housing anyway and that unfortunately is a global plight.
I don't ask about culture because even if I did, I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it. There is no incentive for people with bad culture to be truthful. And even then, I'd rather ask the people I'd be working with, not the HR department.

I do ask about the team I'll be working on, but that's basically it.

You're right that the 10 minute speech isn't enough. I'd even say it serves no value. Which is why it goes in one ear and out the other.

While I try to put on my fake HR face to hide it, I don't have interest. I'm a replaceable cog, and the company is a replaceable machine. But we all need money to live.

Tbh, if sounds like HR interviews want brown-nosing. Not in compliments or anything, but in asking the questions they expect you to ask, and faking your responses and enthusiasm to be just right to tickle their fancy.
They interview people from everywhere. Literally everywhere. They basically have tapped the whole market worth of talent.

You might not get an interview at any given company in a particular year, but you should be able to get some interviews over a couple years if you have decent GPA or work experience. You probably won't be placed on a top-notch team, but you'll get in.
It's not been very quick, the serotonin hypothesis has had huge question marks around it for as long as I've been reading about it, which is 10 years.
I clicked on this and expected something really bad about brew. It turns out just the default setting doesn’t satisfy the writer’s use case.
The energy and attitude of this article really sticks me as odd especially considering Brew is free to use and not some sort of default package manager that comes with your macOS.

If you want to write a guide to do something, great. You contribute to the collective knowledge base, but there is absolutely no need having this combative attitude towards somebody are doing the same.

What is wrong with insinuating an "industry conspiracy"? Industries are found guilty by judges and juries in massive lawsuits all the time.

Big Pharma doesn't run most of its lab experiments. They use contracted research companies to do that. In the past this was done to evade responsibility and it doesn't seem to have changed.

Either way, regardless of the legality of the matter, I don't think you should confuse "the legal thing to do" with "the moral thing to do". They are not always identical.

I'm not contending that, I'm saying that for the employee it is a matter of survival. For the company, it's not.

Maybe, but it was the leading cause of death for school-aged children in the US until recently. (Now that’s guns.) That feels like it’s worth worrying about.

You’re right, of course - I would much rather my kid have the same feeling of independence that I did than be stuck at home or tethered to their parents. I’ve just moved to one of the only remaining reasonably walkable/bikeable suburbs in my area for that reason. Doesn’t mean it won’t still be hard though given the rising risks.

(I’ve also been trying to get involved in safe streets advocacy lately for the same reason. Who knows if that’ll ever have an impact but I have to try.)

Intersectionality is a productive lens to view societies problems through. My experience is largely the same as yours, though slightly different circumstances. The problem in a lot of online, and in real life, discussions is that the intersectional ideas people have been exposed to are through amateur activists who don't have a view on intersectionality beyond themselves. This isn't really new in social paradigms, to my knowledge, people often recognize the struggle of others definitionally but fail to recognize it in the person standing in front of them. The experience of which is probably not pleasant.

You asked why people get triggered over this, this is my hypothesis. Don't take that for me not liking intersectionality.

Ok, I thought you were talking about the kind of scooters where you stand on them. If you google "electric scooter", you'll see what I mean.

I don't think there is really much difference between an electric sit-down scooter and an e-bike except for ergonomics, except where you might get some weird looks - riding an ebike on a 35+mph road, vs riding a scooter on a dirt trail.

But still, google "radwagon 4" as an example of an e-cargo bike(this is what I have). It has way more capacity than a sit-down scooter. I put two (small) kids on it, and about 50 lbs of groceries, which I don't think one could do with a sit-down scooter.
Please try to offer some kindness. Or at least accept that people have various motivations and goals. Languages are regularly remixed. Also, "language designer" is not an elite term -- it can be a hobby, a way to learn, and even a way to inspire others.
