Free Solo, It's the documentary of Alex Honnold in his preparation and eventual accomplishment of climbing the "El Capitan" without ropes

That thing it's awesome, you know the guy ends up ok, but the journey made my hands sweat like crazy
sounds like a good outcome to me. more affordable housing and all it costs is a drop in the resale value of vacation homes, (that also comes with a drop in property taxes for those same vacation homes.)
Non local hidden variables aren’t ruled out.

It absolutely is a FTL effect, even if we can’t use it to communicate classical information.
It's also used quite extensively internally for company wide resources. Any employee can create aka.ms urls, here is one for your comment: https://aka.ms/AAhztyq
Most extensions that exist are on Mozilla's Addons site. And unsigned extensions aren't commonly distributed because you just can't install them on normal Firefox, only Nightly or Developer Edition builds.

The main use-case of this is so that Mozilla doesn't have total control over what extensions are allowed to be installed.

It can also be used so you can install extensions you built-from-source.
I'd guess: Fourier transform, a power density preserving blur convolution, then inverse Fourier transform.

But I am not familiar with the field of signal processing.
Twitter has a much larger "body count" than the farms. Where's the outrage and cancellation for them?

The real reason Keffals wanted the farms gone is because they exposed just what a truly awful and vile person they really are. Not because some keyboard warriors were making fun of them on one tiny corner of the internet. Also notice how they kept doing stupid stuff like posting pictures of their hotel room to get them re-doxxed as they moved around? It's clearly for attention. And none of the mainstream media has cared to shine any light on what the farms actually dug up and proved everything keffals has done. They still continue to call for others to be doxxed and swatted while crying foul for the same thing happening to them.
I guess they are unaware of the fact that some people still use cash.
Examples of the quizzes have been added to The Rust Book.

Experiment: Improving the Rust Book: https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/

A small but interesting detail: the quizzes open as a full-screen in the Rust book. The explanation:

> Why is this quiz fullscreen?

> We want to know how much you are learning that can be recalled without assistance. Please complete the quiz without re-reading the text.
The wording is fine. Making people realize that a FTL effect is happening is more important than telling them that due to the no-cloning theorem we can’t directly observe it.
Anything like that for Firefox Android and the extensions that Mozilla didn't whitelist? I followed their procedure for Nightly with a custom add-on collection but it didn't work.

Tired of being bashed in the office when devs out of college want to rewrite everything because it’s not microservices. Microservices are web scale they say.

Management not knowing any better pour resources into microservices because it’s so hot. Devs who want promotions go over engineer new systems.

Devs who resist are made to maintain the entire monolith themselves, or find another job because they are not team players.

Eventually there ends up two massive piles of code and all the old and ‘new’ devs have left by then. Not sure what happens after that, I never stayed to find out.
It should work on any Linux as long as omni.ja is located at /usr/lib/firefox.
Amen (:

Checking uptime on my FreeBSD home server ... 388 days. Probably 15-year-old hardware. That thing's a rock.

I can't say I'm very proud of my security posture, though (:

One day I'll do boot-to-ZFS and transubstantiate into the realm of never worrying about failed upgrades again.
Google is not the only company doing this, though ex-googlers may have spread it around initially.
I've been looking into Unity and game development in my spare time.
It seems writing tests for game code is incredibly dependent on the style used to develop the game.

If you are doing everything by hand in C#, its super easy.
The moment you introduce editor workflows or third party libraries, I have no idea how anybody can write sensible tests.

Using Unity is like a weird mix of no code tools and code.
It looks like the AI generated images are not crucial to how the app works. I was wondering how they factored in until I submitted a guess.
But if you declare the foo function before main, it works correctly regardless of where it's defined. The definition just has the effect of also declaring it, which is what makes the difference.

(Of course you know all this much better than I do, but someone younger reading this thread might be mystified.)
Instantly implies FTL. How is that incorrect? The effect is very much FTL.

So I don't agree with this time of thinking. It is very archaic and less progressive towards a better culture. Yes, working well should be #1 priority. But relationship building goes far anywhere. Nobody is always perfect and having good relationships across teams help you at work more when there are tight situations.

Does taking about politics with co-workers help? No.
But does talking about sports, cars, shows, movies, tech advancements etc help? Absolutely.
>"We make analyzing a rental property so easy Grandma can do it!"

There are lots of grandmas who are engineers, scientists, doctors, and inventors. There are plenty of ways to land that message without carrying forward the spirit of 1950s Madison Ave. Plus, that copy doesn't tell anything about the product, it's fluff.

"Analyze deal potential without leaving Zillow"

"Automatically analyze rental properties as you browse"

"View critical deal metrics as you browse"

etc
I'll be up front about this. I'm in way over my head in this discussion, but in my mind, still, not all interactions are with particles. There are fields such as gravity, that affect wavelength.

And what about particles we do see? What if the debris we know is out there (the stuff of collisions and non-congealed leftover particulates, early gases since its many light years away) over immense distances have an accumulative affect? We see the red sunset but do not discern any individual particles with our eyes.

Then there are the things we don't see. Dark matter... and so much of it. I'm guessing that disproving the relevance of all of this has proven tedious, and recounting it to a newbie like myself even more tiresome!
Nope, didn't miss that, have been a part of rust since 2014. I don't consider any of that harassment at all, let alone harassment with regards to other languages. I'm not going to reshash the discussion as this happened years ago, geofft summarizes things pretty well in that thread, but this has all been discussed to death anyways. And, again, that's still not an example of Rust users "harassing" anyone for using other languages.
A few years later when the webcam market had exploded, I remember always insisting on using Hauppauge WinTV cameras and capture cards, since those were real TV signal (i.e. PAL or NTSC) video cameras, and would guarantee a crisp TV resolution with usable TV framerates, unlike most webcams which were often terrible resolutions and/or atrocious framerates, and had strange proprietary signals and/or connectors, coupled with strange Windows-only drivers. The early USB cameras were before USB had the necessary bandwitdh, too, so this advice was good for many years. Hauppauge also had good Linux drivers.
The Up Series[0]. It's a series that follows a group from children from age 7 through old age, and it's still going (in theory - the creator died last year). Seeing entire lives compressed into a few hours was very impactful to me.

An indefinite rental sounds like a misnomer better stated as “being too poor to buy <x>”. Or maybe “insufficient supply of <x>”. Which, in this discussion would be land, in certain locations.
Come on. You buy up starter homes.
http://ai is an interesting case. It was there from the early days of the web, back when you could type "ai" into the mozilla url bar and it would take you there. Today firefox "helps" you out and changes what you typed into something else because it knows better than you do what web site you want.

It's run by a character named Vince Cate who moved to Anguilla to protest taxes or something. He was from the US and gave up his US citizenship. He talked the Anguilla government into letting him set up its internet infrastructure for them.
In Postgres you can use AS NIT MATERIALIZED to avoid the temp buffers. A recent PG version also makes this default, but only when the CTE is only queried once later.

This can definitely cause issues. I’ve seen queries with CTEs that basically process unindexed 100 MB data due to querying the materialized rows.

It would be cool to be able generate indexes with the CTEs though
You mean starting to live within our means and spend less? You mean the responsibility falling to the families and local church communities? Sounds great.
I wonder for those situations where you experience catastrophic failures at low altitude situations where you can't deploy the chutes, whether some type of short burst rockets situated around the plane could activate to "cushion" the plane and orientate it to safety.

Sort of like the short takeoff/land rockets used in large military planes.
I'm comfortable with Rust's choice to infer types only within a function, OCaml does sound like it has too much inference. But I think the GP was just confused about vocabulary and what they're really talking about is coercion and they originally wrote "minimal type inference" instead of "minimal type coercion". I think they subsequently corrected to "minimal implicit type conversions" which, is basically just more words for the same thing.

Unwanted type coercions are an infamous problem in C and C++.
This is a great list. To the point that if you have any other book recs lying around (not necessarily sf, not necessarily last 5 years), I’d love to hear!
I'm going to qualify this with I'm not an expert but I do have some familiarity with the space.

1. While possible, loans where you put less than 20% down are tied to very high interest rates. Most people I know in the space avoid these or quickly refinance once the cash is available.

2. Commercial loans are difficult to get for an individual investor. If you're purchasing residential housing these aren't practical.

3. Banks interest rates are only tied to the federal interest rate.
Indeed, that's what I thought too when I read about the letter distinction. The reverse slash on the 0 seems a little odd, but otherwise this looks like a proportional version of Consolas.
Correct, that is an accurate characterization of my belief. Compare to your original comment:

> I think what you mean is that people are calling for internet platforms to kick out certain groups. This is in no way a call against freedom of speech.

The problem is that the causal factor causing e.g. twitter to evict people is not that "people are calling" for this action. The widespread coverage of certain people clamoring for censorship is only part of the legitimation process, not the actual reason twitter is performing the censorship. The actual reason twitter is performing the censorship is due to govt/elite pressure to do so.

So when you say "people are calling" for censorship, that's just what it looks like today when the US government censors people. They launder their actions through NGOs, civil rights lawsuits, selective prosecution, etc. so that people can diffuse any accusations of malfeasance with "well it's not the government doing it, so who cares"? It's untrue, and at some level it's irrelevant, but rhetorically it works.
Appeasing the compiler is the wrong way to think about what you're doing. Think of it instead as proving that your code doesn't contain any memory corruption bugs.
Saw that, but a lot of the other answers were for older flicks, too.
Seems like the author never truly worked with these engines? Also, I never had problem with unit testing on Unity in pure C#. Even when it comes to complicated scenario there is always a way to separate your GameObjects from game logic.
Ironically it’s correct, and it’s pedantic HNers that are wrong. It can’t be used to transmit classical information, but it’s still an instantaneous effect FTL.

I've been thinking about making something like this. I can't wait to take a close look at it.
> There are lots of grandmas who are engineers, scientists, doctors, and inventors.

And there are a 100x multiple of grandmas who are not any of those things.

Your virtue has been signaled. It’s just a figure of speech.
Most people don't need to be running most businesses, but it still hurts them if those businesses become less efficient.

Interesting to me is how complex some of the 'traditional' or, perhaps, formal construction methods can be.

I've been trying to draw Islamic designs, and the strict methods are very involved. For example this shows a very simple design, with construction lines then the final pattern:

> If the "sexual economy" is so rich, why aren't there any rich and retired prostitutes?

As I recall, during the Gold Rush the prostitutes were some of the wealthiest in the towns and had quite a lot of influence.

Remember Heidi Fleiss? She made a whole lot of money. Her mentor did, too, and was a lot quieter about it. I suspect there was a successor who was also a lot quieter.

Eliot Spitzer spent like $3K-$4K per session. We know for a fact that top Playboy centerfolds will do it for $100K.

Like any market, though, the majority of the money goes to a very few and the Power Law means that a whole lot make very little.

The other issue is that the sexual economy also often attracts the desperate. So, for every person who is there because its a voluntary job choice, there are 100x there because they have no other choice.
Yeah, to be clear, some domains are different. Gaming is one example of a domain where "best effort" memory safety is perfectly acceptable. Would I prefer full memory safety? Sure, but we don't see games as an attack vector in the wild very often and there are good reasons for that.

If someone wants to build a game in a language that's best-effort memory safety go for it. Similarly, CLI applications are often never called from an untrusted context and often provide semantic power that is equivalent to code execution anyways, so again I'd love to see memory safety, but I'm not going to care that much.

But these are exceptions - you'd still want to way whatever you're getting from memory-unsafe-language-X against just using a memory safe language. The default should be memory safety. Given that we have Go, Rust, Java, and more, there are few situations where memory safety isn't an easy option. Not zero, just few.
> Using Unity is like a weird mix of no code tools and code.

Haha, great summary of my 5 years experience in Unity. Whenever I am too lazy I am switching to ECS/MonoBehaviour, then I regret of not having properly testable architecture.
"serious" libraries today all provide the ability to pass in adapters.

Having been in the group of a multi-year effort to do this in Java (JSR-47), there is always a limitation in the API that prevents someone from getting it right.

Funny enough, even though Java ended up with JUL (java.util.logging), SLF4J ended up being the defacto standard that everyone went with.
Certification is the process of getting an aircraft design/model approved by the FAA for sale/use. There are 3 phases for GA commercially available aircraft, type certification (design approved), production certification (manufacturing approved), and airworthiness certification (plane tested, and ready for sale to the public)

Usually when someone says a plane has received its certification they mean it’s ‘airworthiness certification’, so the final approval by the FAA.
Ironically those who need Braille are also unlikely to care how readable a font is.
Or you include the trace ID as one field in the structured log. That ID can be threaded through the log library.
Many thanks for the maps link: it helped me fully realize how spot on is Mark Z Jacobson. I never bothered to look to oil & gas map and street view until now ...
There is no reason microservices can't be in the same codebase. In fact, for things like infrastructure and testing that may need to touch more than one service at a time, it's incredibly useful to have a monorepo.

I need a t-shirt: monorepos, not monoliths!
It is a config away in C# world, and even when it wasn’t so in built it was very simple to add to structured logging.
The breakup of the US and diffusion of its ability to exert influence would be a net positive in my opinion. It would no doubt cause a lot of pain in the US though (as the loss of the USD as reserve currency would likely be a consequence).

The child comment got flagged into oblivion, which I feel is a bit harsh.

I express personal moral judgements on HN, and I read tons of others doing so every time I come here. I just try hard to annotate them as such.

I don’t have any problem with, and IMHO the community shouldn’t have any problem with, moral opinions of users who hold minority (on HN) views.

I think the commenter just needs to clarify that “substantive critique ends here, personal opinion begins here”.

The Long Way Round (2004) - a British television series documenting the 19,000-mile (31,000 km) journey of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman from London to New York via Eurasia on motorcycles. It is a lot of fun and covers incredible terrain and the trials and triumphs of lesser travelled roads and countries.

There are an additional two series, Long Way Down (2007), Scotland to Capetown and Long Way Up (2020) over South and North America, both fantastic follow ons! Enjoy.
> Behind the NAT it just isn't possible.

It could be with UPnP, which as a security conscious person you likely have disabled. Do you trust it staying disabled or none of your many devices trying to use it to poke holes in the NAT?

Even if you have to use your ISPs modem/router device, it might have a bridge mode where it just becomes a modem, enabling you to use your own router. It might be worth checking this option if you didn't already.

I find we like _our_ own meetings. The ones we initiate or run, but we but dislike _others_ meetings. Schedules fill with meetings because each meeting-initiator doesn’t want to let go of their meeting - and more deeply the status or control it represents.

So you can easily get a lot of meetings on your calendar and the inertia is not to burst the bubble of other folks status/whatever by questioning the need for their meeting.

Moreover the people who have the most authority to reduce meetings - managers - don’t really directly feel the pain as they’re already in a bunch of meetings. Losing this one meeting would just mean a time slot with another meeting. It’s the heads-down ICs who experiences the downside from a random meeting that interrupts their flow. And sadly they have the least amount of formal authority to challenge the number of meetings.
Did I need an app for that?
Unity at least isn’t a true ECS architecture, more just Entity-Component. You can write game logic in an entity with Unity, whereas in ECS that would have to live in a System
> All too often with Rust you get GP (who writes some of my favorite software and in general I deeply admire and respect) and some version of “no, Rust doesn’t break point releases, it’s you that doesn’t understand what ‘break’ means”.

That's not what I said. What I said was to clarify the situation and to note that actual practice matters.

I explicitly talked about the different meanings of "break" and acknowledged both of them as valid. And yet your portrayal of what I said makes it looks like I'm playing definitional games.

I fucking hate definitional games. I do not play them. I am not saying "that's not what it means" and then sticking my fingers in my ears and saying "la la la I can't hear you." What I'm saying is that there are multiple meanings to the word and talking about those meanings is a requirement for untangling the knot.

So when the libs-api team talks about "not breaking code," we do actually mean that in the literal sense. We care about not breaking code even if the change is compatible with our API evolution policy. But we still need a policy to outline what kinds of changes we can make because some of those changes can break code.

The intersperse method the others brought up is a perfect example of this. It's a change allowed by our API evolution, but we've specifically held back on it because it literally breaks code.

.Net has task-local storage which is pretty amazing and Seri log made great use of it(my all-time fav structured log lib).

But iirc task local is a perf concern, and JavaScript has yet to have anything comparable that's ubiquitous(nodejs async hooks though so one day maybe).

So, explicit contexts for Go and JavaScript unfortunately.
I agree that SQL is needlessly baroque. Not sure whether I agree that there are too many hoops for trivial things though. Leaving SQL ergonomics aside for the moment, isn't relational algebra something which does require one to think carefully to avoid hastily producing plausible but incorrect queries?
