Let me guess OP's reasoning.

Most of the HN audience is privileged class by courtesy of being tech savvy. Unlike many others, most of us can keep investing even in less fortunate times when others cannot. Exactly those investments might yield extra high long term returns.
I'm not someone on the rust bandwagon, but I doubt it's a matter of performance as much as safety.

Remember Cloudbleed? That was caused by a memory safety issue in a parser written in C++.

re: jvm -- you may be able to get that sort of throughput, but I also have to wonder what the latency distribution looks like, and how much control you wind up having over it. Yielding control to a GC in a latency sensitive application isn't an easy give.
I can only hope that Facebook follows this policy to the letter now and into the future. In fact, it would be a gift to humanity to widen the scope to any an all content deemed offensive to anyone. Ban it all.

Nothing will hasten the downfall of the monstrosity that Facebook has become faster that the strictest possible adherence to and advancement of this policy.

"Sneakers" and "War Games" were my favorites, because they were so realistic and thought-provoking. "Tron" was my favorite from the "magic disguised as computers" category.

I don't know about 'morally compromising' but have you ever considered just how much of our entertainment revolves around the story of killing other people? Almost every video game I own is in some way violent. The books I read and the movies I watch are often about people in conflict.

This persists even with people from 'neutral' countries who are explicitly committed to staying out of war (japan, sweden, etc). I don't really judge it, because this is the water we swim in as humanity, but an alien visiting us would conclude we're a very murderous and warlike species.

Nope, if an abusive administration is committed enough, it will mark as suspicious any cleaned phone, especially if they can access freely metadata about your life without a judge.

No need for the content, they just need to make sure the activity score is higher than the one on your phone. It's not illegal not to have you real phone, but why haven't you? Do you have anything to hide? And they will make you life annoying enough, making you miss flights, waste your time, cost you money and opportunities, until most of the population comply.

It's a cat and mouse game, where you are trying to oppose technical solutions to people being simply abusive, which doesn't work on the long run, because the problem is that you are being ruled by the mob.

It's funny, because if were it be happening in China or in Russia, everybody would be loosing their mind, saying how those dictatorships are abusive. Then they would note how the Russian and Chinese don't seem to notice they are being abused and defend their country.

We are going for a narrower scope than that. We are working with stricter restrictions on the database schema, where you are only allowed to join on synthetic keys and there is an enforced distinction between measures and dimension attributes.

On the other hand we are aiming for reasonable response times on large scale datasets.
The criminal should have the strongest civil rights protections, so hands will be tied should the government try to go after inconvenient citizens.
How would this be different from a partnership like a law firm or consultancy? Or are you just suggesting that more firms are structured as partnerships?
I do think it makes more sense to move from the general to the particular and past to present than in the opposite direction. Postponing Plato in particular would be a colossal mistake.

I applied to and got into a bunch of good universities to study for my MS in computer science.

My biggest mistake, BY FAR, was not visiting all those schools, talking with prospective advisors and current students, and using my gut instincts on those conversations to guide my decision.

I picked the school that I felt was the best but wound up poorly matched with an advisor. I had been a very proactive and driven undergrad (returned to undergrad in my late 20s) but reverted to a passive approach in grad school - it was a terrible mistake. By the end of my first year, I was completely demotivated and very unhappy. I turned it around my second year by dropping my advisor and taking some control in the process back. But I also totally punted on a PhD and settled for a MS. But it left me very unsatisfied in the process and in a position of asking "what if" in many ways.

One big part of why I was dissatisfied is that in hindsight, many of the professors I interacted with were simply not very friendly or considerate of students. Maybe they were used to being able to be more dismissive of undergrads coming straight to grad school, but as an adult I expected adult interactions. That experience was partly my fault - there are always people who are prickly to deal with. I should have been a little more self-directed about making sure I was working with better people even if it meant maybe doing thesis or research work in an area that was slightly less interesting to me personally.

As a starting point geometrically the 95 percentile has proportions like those in the faces you see when you search Google Images or Bing Images for "average face in every country." Notice that the average face of either sex is universally attractive to most people.

The main value add of undergrad is networking and prestige, not education. That's why Ivys are still an unparalleled value proposition, even if their education is similar to the rest of the top 50 schools.
Not necessarily. It depends on the purpose(s) of the list.

What are the purpose(s) of keeping a lifetime list of books read?
It really is "do what works for you". I track my lifts closely and notice no real max output difference fasted vs. not. Hydration seems to be a lot more important for me which can be an issue lifting in the morning, especially if in keto.
The major problem is the selection of the RSS feeds. If you look at the list of feeds you see a lot of traditional news feeds like CNN or New York Post. These are well covered in Google/Google News and are fairly low quality.
Right, I forgot that it was about americans.

But they can, and will if the trend of abuses continue, make you loose your flight, make you waste time, opportunity, and money. And put you in a list so that they do that every time your travel.
By can’t, do you mean they aren’t allowed to? That doesn’t really mean that they won’t do it.
When they were printing money endlessly and rates were low, your strategy is sound. However, the house of cards is now crumbling and there is no end in sight to rate rises.

My hedge fund manager friend for a private family office is saying we will see double digit rates by end of 2023. If you believe this then you know what to do. If not, you should at least think what such macro conditions would do to liquidity.
Not true. Apple Passkeys is cloud based; syncs through iCloud and is webauthn.

I hated it, personally. The special effects were so bad that I lost my suspension of disbelief; and the ending where John Travolta (it was a long time ago) was part of a super-secret organization that was so secret that no one knew about it nearly made me laugh.
I do intermittent fasting, but am in the process of moving my workout to my lunch break, and eating directly afterwards. I've only been on the 'easy' part of the workout cycle so far, but I expect that I'll eventually get used to it and perform closer to normal.

Combined with some legit meds I take, I sometimes need to remind myself to eat in the afternoon, and not get lazy about it. My appetite is very accustomed to being pushed off.

The individual Adobe products themselves are quite good; it's CC and all the processes it insists on running that you can't get rid of that I don't like.
There's a terrifying teardown of one of those heated shower heads here:

When he opens it, the ground wire is just floating in the enclosure, not hooked up to anything. Contacts that would mechanically fail to shorted, etc.

He also mentions it flows ~24 amps of 220V on the high setting.
Insane? Or a logical progression of the underlying culture that has successfully captured the institution after decades of planning?
This blog misses the point; he made a bet, and the people on the other side also accepted the terms. Nowhere did Alexander claim composition was a solved problem, just that the terms of the bet were satisfied. Generative models are still bad at composition, but claiming they will literally never improve requires some amount of additional evidence

Or demand reasons. If Amazon only sells a couple dozen a year, they just need to keep a few in a single warehouse at all times whereas lowes would need to keep it in stock in a minimum number of stores that is greater than 1.
>If that same look is being created in a far more performant manner by other games, then that means that the game is poorly optimized.

LMFAO. Games are just visual looks now. Good to know. Would you like a spot on r/gaming ? You sound like you'd fit right in there. Let's start with the obvious:

League of Legends, Valorant: 2500 employees at Riot Games

Inscryption: A single developer

Risk of Rain 2: 5 employees

Games don't run well or badly just for the lulz. Focusing on running on your shitty ass laptop is about the last thing on a developer's mind when trying to both ship, and make enough money for the other game. Riot can afford doing everything for it to run better on crap PCs because they have so many players that tapping onto the low, low end is worth money for them.

Additionally, there is infinitely more to a game than just "haha cartoon graphics go boom". LoL is extremely simple in terms of mechanics, and so is DotA. Camera pointed down at a very simple map that never changes. Trees that can fall is about the most complex interaction that happens on the map. Compare that with RoR, Valheim and DRG that procedurally generate complex environments, in full 3D with a large view distance. Add to this various features (destructibility, which brings its own set of view culling issues as well as more complex algorithms and data structures), and yes, your shitbox cannot run them well. Fortnite is so simple that it only has 100 animated pawns at the beginning at the same time, a gigantic map with also large view distances, structure building, thousands of assets, and a much more complex rendering pipeline (that, no, does not look like league of legends, despite all you'd like to pretend)

> My lived experience, my understanding of computer graphics, and knowledge of things like the GTA Online incident[2] strongly indicates that this line of reasoning is incorrect.

With none of the due respect, your lived experience takes about a single, barely valid factor into account, your understanding of computer graphics seems to be just about the one of a college student that got in his first year, and your knowledge of things like the GTA Online incident is a single event. "Looking better" means absolutely shit. You may prefer the visual result, but no matter your metric, I can make you a game that will look better _and_ run like absolute crap. Is it polycount ? Sure, I'll make a 50 million poly character model. Textures ? Here comes the 16K textures baby. Lighting ? Have I told you about our lord and savior CPU-ran-ray-tracing ?
It’s really non-obvious to me that there is any advantage of crypto that makes its use inevitable in financial products. Those Australian banks - are they crypto-related products in the sense that they appeal to crypto people (maybe a way to buy or trade crypto?), or are they actually more efficient versions of mainstream products? The idea that banks will inevitably adopt crypto because their crypto-using competitors will be more cost-efficient seems implausible to me. I just don’t see the mechanism for crypto being a cheaper way of doing things.

They would also need a bank account. I'm not sure whether it's possible to receive card payments anonymously.
Hackers as a whole and hot pocket guy in The Core will forever be the best (worst?) hacker stereotypes to me.

Yep. There are some edge cases where it is convenient (eg trip all circuits except lighting) to ensure load is safe but kinda dicey that make random consumers understand and implement that
Linking a specific type of music to a specific type of crime is quite a common prejudice; that's how we got the UK criminalizing "repetitive beats" in an attempt to outlaw raves, Cuba banning reggaeton, etc. I'm don't think there's any actual evidence for this and in any case music is free speech.
What about The Core where he has to "hack the planet," and is able to do so because "his Kung Fu is strong."
A lifetime is about 4,500 weeks.

For most people, a book is probably a multi-week investment, though lighter fare can go quicker. You can also skim, or read segments only, or quit bad books quickly. I recommend each of these where appropriate.

There are roughly 300,000 "traditionally" published books printed each year in the United States (Bowker ISBN registrations), a million or three including self-published. The US Library of Congress has 40 million catalogued titles, and Google estimated about 140 million books published (through its Google Books project) as of 2015 or so. You will sample only a tiny portion of the world's literature.

The most-read books of all time are, in rough order: The Bible, the Quran, Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, all reporting (with various degrees of precision and accuracy) ~0.5 -- 5 billion copies), then possibly Cervantes Don Quixote, and the Harry Potter series. Three of those, at least, are principally propaganda, in the original and/or modern senses.

A well-established historical novel may sell roughly 200 million or so copies, as with A Tale of Two Cities or The Little Prince.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books>

The Facebook (and now TikTok) homepages and/or app screens now dwarf these.

Quantity ... has its benefits, but also disadvantages. "Of the reading of books there is no end" says The Preacher in Ecclesiastes.

I recommend reading well, I've suggested Great Books as at least a good starting library, though my other suggestion is to have a good guiding question and to follow that.

Keep in mind that following recent trends, news, gossip, etc., can engross all your time and attention with very little long-term staying value. I don't remain wholly ignorant of what's happening, but I try to dip very lightly from that pitcher.

From a recent comment of mine: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32669503>
Definitely a gateway drug. I had an Apple ][+ around that time too. The manuals for that were incredible. Luckily, my dad's startup had tons of old hardware for it. Printers, Koala Pad, plenty of disk drives, modem, EPROM programmer, 80 Column Card with C/PM and Pascal.... even though it was about 10 years old, it was great. But the C64 always seemed far more approachable. That brown box with the clacky keys... And I was too young to know about Djkstra's "Goto Considered Harmful". It probably could have made me a far better engineer if I had picked up better habits sooner.
Wasn't that their point though? That most folks only really learn through sufficient pain?

As an employee of a large company, is working from a hotel Hybrid Work?
I happen to be work from home. For a large company.

My company just popped on me the plan fly me to a hotel near the customer site but they don't want to pay for my meals.

"It's hybrid work" they claim as in:

"Think of it as if you are working from home."

They will pay for airfare the hotel. The rest is on me.

I call BS.

Thoughts?
It's all an act.

Time to return stolen goods and the Brits all of a sudden have a learning disability surrounding the topic of who custodies assets on behalf of independent states like India.

Hilarious.

How is an elected representative a dictator? About half of the US population voted in 2020, something like 100x the proportion of the population who voted to elect representatives at the time of the constitution. By any standard the US is far more democratic than it was then. I do agree that things should be more democratic now though.
Oh, man. I forgot how much I hated that particular scene. It was almost as bad as the "60-second crack" scene.
Where there times when people who discovered sharing an interest were more keen to mine into each others insights or differences, than of late? Where people generally keener to increase and test and propagate their outlooks in person. Perhaps just my own foibles or relative age, but in later years it seems more contentious to conversationally dig into and challenge others takes on their subjects of interest. Its a though as individuals we have no call to query an others interest, no more than to pleasantly listen and affirm them. Perhaps with interests now developed more through information technology, where contrasting perspectives are already collected and competitively marked, it has become harder to be intellectually generous and curious in person.
Part of what made this movie so startling when it came out is it was the first (and really only) film that was plainly aware of hacker subculture at the time and is loaded with easter eggs demonstrating that. It was at once a ridiculous parody of it and an homage to it. It’s like a love letter to small-h hackers.
This.

My first thought back then with my C64 and BASIC: "I'll make it so when someone types LIST they won't be able to see the code, by writing more BASIC code that prevents it".

This sort of atavistic, ritual distrust of C (and C++) code is tiresome. Keep in mind that most likely all of the highest-traffic sites in the world are using C (or C++) systems to process their own trillions of transactions. I recently worked on such code (written in C), and it has also had zero errors over more than two years of continuous operation; and I do mean zero.
I was into dial-up BBSes when it came out. We always made fun of the noobs who showed up and named themselves after the movie.

Great movie, though. It's one of the few DVDs I've hung onto, even though I haven't watched it in years. Makes me want to skateboard in a datacenter.
Let's look at the cost of providing synthetic baseload in France with wind + solar + batteries + hydrogen, using real weather data to drive the optimization problem:

https://model.energy/

Using 2011 weather data and 2030 cost assumptions (some of which are already met), we get 71 euro/MWh. That's much better than what Flamanville 3 is going to be delivering. Inclusion of hydrogen reduces that cost from 93.1 euro/MWh. Many arguments against renewables assume batteries are to be used instead for long term smoothing, which is a poor choice.

2030 cost assumptions are appropriate because any new nuclear plant started now isn't going to be available before then. Ignoring the cost trajectory of renewables and storage is another common mistake of nuclear advocates, a mistake that nuclear investors cannot allow themselves to indulge in. Indeed, they likely are looking even further ahead, as that nuclear plant has to operate until 2070 or so.

Personally if I was a shopify employee and I was looking at all these layoffs coinciding with rate rises with more to come, I would think liquidity will quickly dry up and opt for cash.

Last time I rented a U-Haul, they asked to see my driver's license as expected - then took a picture of the front and back to store in their systems.

I did not like the taking a picture of the entire license at all, but was stuck.

I had full expectation that a non-tech company like U-Hual would be fully incompetent to properly store such a trove of identity information, and here it is - crackers wandering around in their system for six months, and they "have no evidence" of further intrusion, meaning they don't even have the logs to verify or the capability to read the logs, so they actually have no evidence that other data was not accessed (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence)...

I'll sure as hell be avoiding UHaul if at all possible in the future...
