This will definitely require rewriting some large bits of my modeline definition (or - more likely - switching the font back). As one of the comments mentions, `window-text-pixel-size` is finicky at best.

On one hand, I like the speed Emacs development is moving lately, especially in some core work that has languished for too long. On the other hand, I am starting to get some whiffs of immature stuff getting released too fast (flymake "v2" but still without a diagnostic overview buffer) and churn for churn's sake (why a whole new project.el instead of adopting or at least compatibility with projectile)?

Didn't we talk about Russians leaving the Crimea? That would make it rather obvious which war they are fleeing from.

And yes, as long as Russians in, e.g., Germany are protesting in support of the war, and follow the rules concerning demonstrations, they should be allowed to do so.

Right, alcohol, sugar and salt all change the hardness of the ice cream but you can only add so much until the flavor isn't what you want anymore. I don't think the ice cream texture is due to the melting point, though, that the post talks about, it's also whether large enough ice crystals can form.

It feels like cheating but adding stabilizers (gums, mostly) was really a game changer for our homemade ice cream.
Yeah that was Microsoft.

Also Edison, General Electric early on (like lightbulb era), had (according to one source, but it makes sense) like a prototype of an IQ test, tested memory and general knowledge. Basically how much you had read. By that point America had ample libraries thanks to Carnegie, so it was fair, before that there was no way.

Makes sense since Edison and Gates dropped out. And back then college dropouts were too educated, so for instance JP Morgan did a year in college, traveled a bit and that completed his education. I dropped out recently (technically an impasse, glitch meant I couldn't enroll again) and with that my education is complete. But back then? Dude nobody finished high school, Ford didn't, Wright Brothers said eh, like back then if you went to college you were badly overeducated.

So the "how many piano tuners are there in Chicago" question is a sanitized version of "how many kilotons of TNT did this nuclear bomb yield?". Fermi problem, I think it's called, and Fermi was great at it, got it to within a factor of 2. Wright Brothers also nailed it very well, like got 1% margins on admittedly easier math than the bomb, but with their other invention, the wind tunnel, and very very low resources initially. So the piano tuners sounds like a stupid question, otherwise it would require that special nuke clearance, get real. And it's the same thought process.

I use a service called sonix.ai. It's paid but I think they have a free tier or trial period, and it's not very expensive. I'm excited about this new OpenAI thing because I'd rather do it on my own hardware than send it to the cloud, but this company has earned its commercial success.
You guys seem to be under the impression that I'm taking a side on this topic. Nothing could be further from the case. I know nothing about it, and for all I know you're all 100% correct. (Also, lest anyone assume otherwise, I have profound respect for India.)

Even if they're 100% correct*, commenters still have to follow the site guidelines. Showing up with an obviously pre-existing agenda, ready-to-go talking points, and denunciatory rhetoric is definitely not curious conversation. Moreover, HN has a problem with Indian nationalist flamewars (as it does with other nationalist flamewars), quite vicious ones in fact, and I unfortunately have had to moderate enough of them to recognize the pattern when I see it.

Mortgage deposits on houses are very expensive compared to incomes in most anglophone countries. It's completely out of reach for many workers, and for most of those who could afford it, savings would still take several years. With high inflation, that money would be significantly devalued by the time it was sufficient for a down-payment. If this were combined with asset price inflation, it is possible that a worker might never have enough for a deposit.

My favorite use of dry ice is making Boo Bubbles:

1. Create a mixture of soap, water, and glycerin. This will make bubbles harder to pop.

2. Get a sealable container, poke a hole in the lid, the glue a tube in the hole.

3. Fill the container with water, then drop in pieces of dry ice. The CO2 should escape through the tube.

4. Stick the other end of the tube into the soap mixture.

5. Large bubbles will form with a cloudy gas of CO2.

6. Use towels to carry the bubbles, throw in the air, and combine with other bubbles.

I do this every Halloween. Kids get a kick out of it. A lucky few will stick around and learn about CO2, tensile strength, etc.
But which has a greater effect on removing heat from the cream-containing vessel: the decrease in temperature from the dissolution of salt, or the more efficient thermal coupling to the vessel provided by the salt/ice slurry (versus the original solid ice chunks)?

The goal is to remove heat from the cream faster than the system as a whole warms up due to room temperature. I thought the value of salt was to help the cream win that race by making a better heat sink.

This was standard practice at my former old school tech company employer. People were "redeployed" and given 30-90 days to apply for new roles, with many unable to get jobs secured in time they were let go with minimal severance.
Given the context of their message, I think the parent switched perspectives mid-stream: ultra-competitive from the perspective of the employers (very hard to hire) to competitive from the perspective of the employees (somewhat hard to be hired).

It's "whale" economics.

Common also in gambling and gaming (particularly "loot boxes"), as well as other "high roller" activities.

Among other issues, whales may themselves have addiction or other psychological issues and be manipulated into participation, and content and interactions become modified with time to increasingly appeal to them.

There should be more literature on this, though this article is a fair introduction:

"What it means to be a ‘whale’ — and why social gamers are just gamers"

> Is that removing liquidity? Not really, it's just decreasing the active injection of liquidity that the Fed has been doing for the past 15 years.

I like this line a lot because it shows that while we like to blame inflation and some of the issues we're having on the Fed's work in 2020, when in reality we have to go back to the Great Recession to understand the full impact of what's been going on. They've been trying to keep the markets happy for 15 years by keeping interest rates low and so, never reverted some of the policies that would have helped when COVID hit the economy. So, they doubled down. Now, the chickens have come to roost and they need to reel back, and hopefully, the markets won't get spooked and it will all be good, as you say.
Whether it's personal data is not the issue.

The issue is whether US law enforcement has unrestricted access to the data. They are considered to have unrestricted access to any data on Google's servers (even their EU servers). But if re-identification requires a piece of data which only lives outside of US jurisdiction, and accessing that data requires going through appropriate channels, then the data is considered safeguarded.
Delicious, of course!

And yes, the other commenter is correct. LNO2 works so well because it freezes the ice cream so fast that the crystals don't have time to grow very large, which produces a nice and smooth texture in the final product.
I noticed you countered by using 'cooperation', a word found nowhere in my above comment. I do not think this is an accident, and calling me to have it 'in the reverse' of a word I never said is no doubt a deliberate and misleading framing on your part, although I admit it is rather clever

ACID is typically used to describe single database instances and from that perspective, LiteFS doesn't change the ACID semantics that SQLite has. For distributed consistency models[1], it gets more complicated as LiteFS currently just supports async replication. We'll introduce stronger guarantees in the future although we currently provide some information such as transaction IDs so you can manage replication lag if you need stronger consistency.

What if it was not the copied signature of the old master, but a new one with a similar style and placed in a similar spot on the painting, but with the name of the student instead and looking blurry/a bit different? Because that's what's happening here, and that doesn't sound quite like fraud.

Another scenario, what if i create a painting of a river by hand in acrylic and also draw a getty-watermark-looking thing on top using acrylic? As for why, i would put it there as an integral part of the piece, to allude to the fact of how corporations got their hands over even the purest things that have nothing to do with them, with the fake watermark in acrylic symbolizing it. You can make up any other reason, this is just the one i thought of as i was writing this. It wont look exactly like the real getty watermark, it will be acrylic and drawn by hand, so pretty uneven with colors being off and way less detailed. Doesn't feel like fraud to me.
> The economy has also grown drastically since then.

No it hasn't.

> It doesn't appear that the Fed needs to wind down much, if any, of that liquidity at all, since it seems it's been absorbed perfectly by the global economy.

This comment is extremely misleading. For starters, I don't know how you can say that. It's obvious it wasn't absorbed perfectly because we experienced bubbles in many markets. And those bubbles have caused harm to large groups of people. For example; crypto, equities, housing, etc.

Let's just dive into housing. We have a system that has disproportionately enriched incumbent homeowners at the expense of new entrants. 2 years ago: 30-yr mortgage rate was 2.87% & median existing home price in the US was $310k. Today: 30-yr mortgage rate is 6.02% & median home price is $390k. Increase in monthly payments from $1,029 to $1,872. This is regressive and has exacerbated inequality. The magnitude of this will be lasting. Real wages have not kept pace.

I also suspect the fed will reverse course but that's because the American (and the rest of the American led global) system now expect it. Our markets are dysfunctional and depend on this centralized control. It would take too much time and pain to return markets to their natural pricing.
To be honest, you would solve so many of these DUI problems by just adding a driver's license interlock that requires the person to be a licensed driver to move the vehicle. So many people are driving on suspended licenses right now. Usually without registration or insurance. It would be cool to be able to use my DL to unlock and drive my car anyhow.

However, the obvious solution is to make it so people DON'T NEED A CAR TO DO EVERYTHING! Public transportation, cycling infra, pedestrian friendly design! All of these reduce drunk driving.

I'm also going to add, and this is a spicy take, for every day browser tasks ChromeOS beats out both Windows and macOS.

As you note, the Linux support is great but requires a pretty beefy processor, my Pixelbook was the i7 and it still chugged a bit. But overall, amazing OS today, really miss that laptop.

The studies show that women tend to copy high status features ("prestige"), and men tend to copy low status features ("covert prestige"). That is to say, women want to sound like they're class above where they really are (richer, fancier, etc), while men want to sound like they're a class below (rougher, manlier, etc). In fact, upper middle class women have in certain studies been measured to more consistently use prestige features than actual upper class people.

I am one of the top contributors to the tiny Mozilla Common Voice data-set for my language. The data-set is very small compared to other popular languages and none of the other mentioned data-sets contribute to that language to train the model of Whisper.

And even with so little data to train on it still works surprisingly well.
When the Fed printed a Trillion dollars in November 2008 through QE1, and those permabears think crazy hyperinflation will occur immediately, yes, we ignore them.

When they say inflation will occur in QE2 in 2010, and those permabears think crazy hyperinflation will occur immediately, then yes, we ignore them.

When they say inflation will occur in QE3 in 2012, and those permabears think crazy hyperinflation will occur immediately, then yes, we ignore them.

When they say inflation will occur in QE4 in 2020, and those permabears think crazy hyperinflation will occur immediately, then yes, we ignore them.

Now its 2022, the Fed has been Quantitative Tightening for a year to deal with the inflation signals we're finally seeing. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being effectively destroyed by these policies.

-------

So yes, the Fed is finally acting on the inflation issue. But only because the data shows it is finally a problem. We don't just take the permabear crowd word immediately, we move when the data shows an issue. Not before.

There's some people who are just noise and are irrelevant to the discussion, unfortunately. You figure these things out over the years.
