I'd never heard of Word Writer before. I found the manual on archive.org [1]. I love how the algorithm for how the spell checker works is described by the manual! Also that's one fancy manual for the 1980s - they even have icons that represent the keystrokes in the manual.

>If you're on a multi-core or multi-threaded systems then memory/cache behavior is more important...and out of your control.

What do you mean "out of your control"?! How you lay out your data structures, what kind of locks you use is well within your control.

> Nobody cares about CSE, constant hoisting, anymore, because speculative execution will obviate that.

What fantasy land do you live in? Where do you get these magical unlimited-number-of-things-tracked OoO CPUs? Cause here in our world, speculative execution has limits and can only track so many in-flight instructions. Without optimization that will be less effective as you'll have more bloated unoptimized code (and more values) to track. Adding ability to track more things costs silicon and power! Without optimization you'll need to spill more values to stack as you'll be using registers less efficiently. More values on stack places more pressure on L1d, which pushes out other lines causing further perf loss.

So, no, your statement is approx 0% correct. Compiler optimizations matter a lot!
> The depression is a result of how an individual may respond to an awareness

It's more complex than that and there are many confounding variables.

> The lack of depression should not imply a lack of awareness.

I never implied that.

> Those telling themselves that their depression is a result of their super big brains

This sound like a strawman...

> a deep discussion not to be had here

Correct. This is HN.
Demand can't exceed supply, they're both functions of price and quantity. They always meet, but nobody ever says "demand meets supply." They meet through black markets if need be, with prison labor if need be, with crime torture murder lobotomy (heh) you name it but they meet.
Czech but only for Thursday and Friday. And they're fourth and fifth, so it's off by one.
In a ring buffer, you have a start and an end pointer, not two end pointers.
I'm progressive but I don't think they really even came close to my thoughts or opinions on this issue so it feels to me like they just tossed that phrase in there because they're conservative capitalists looking to justify their profiteering.

I have no problem with for profit businesses, but there are some things that really shouldn't corporatized, like health care, schools, roads, policing, fire depts, water depts, ambulance services, social services.

I live in an area where our electric is provided by a user owned co-opt. Last year we had a pretty hard cold snap and those who live outside the co-opt were getting electric bills that way higher than what we paid. Not as bad as what Texans went through a year or two ago when they had that vicious ice storm, but still a huge corporate gouging scam because there are no laws to prevent them from doing that.

And the same thing happened with those using propane to heat their homes here. We had a propane tank too but hadn't been using it for a few years. When that happened I called them and told them to come get it and they were stunned. Couldn't believe that we'd do that after they literally raped folks here who depended on them.
Surely they want to just clear a super edit and ensure that they use the camera angle from the Kings good side.

If on the other hand they want the networks to torch the 10's of thousands of (or more likely 100k+) hours of footage then that is indeed curious, curious to the point where someone needs to sit down and watch it all to find out why!
Are you actually losing $Xk worth of sales every month due to piracy though? I remember this author with a wildly influential book inside a small online community. He too claimed that due to piracy he suffered great economical loss. He posted a detailed account of this on his blog and i delved on it a bit and I came to the conclusion he was delusional. For sure piracy dented his revenue, that was without the shadow of a doubt. But the major reason that he lost revenue was due to the fact that a book, as with many products, has a lifecycle and he wasn't considering that as a factor at all.

His book was considered "the bible" of that subject, but it was also starting to become old and the community was becoming more established. At that point there were tutorials, youtube videos, other resources talking about the same thing, explaining concepts of that book and so on. So while, in the beginning a user strictly needed to buy the book to have access to those niche information, now info were more readily accessible (even the reddit wiki had basically the same stuff in it). So buying the book was more of a choice ONLY if the user wanted to dive deeper into the subject. All the rest of potential users that a few years back would have bought the book due to the "monopoly of information", now weren't interested in it anymore. Even more established community users only recommended the book as an advanced thing for people that wanted to go to the next step. That's quite an evolution for a product that is guaranteed to lower sales.

Besides this, the community was still relatively niche and this means that doesn't have a huge influx of new users. This means that over time people won't buy his book because the only people interested in it already have it.

The product lifecycle was clear from the data and kinda textbook behavior, with the product having surpassed it's mature phase and been declining. On top of this, for sure piracy further made things worse.

The point is that the author was convinced that piracy was the only reason revenue was dropping. He was convinced that his book (being influential et all in the community) would give him constant revenue potentially forever. That was delusional and so was his analysis.

Are you entirely sure that piracy is the only thing to blame? Maybe that's just one factor in a more complex situation and writing another book is specifically what you need to do. The previous one was successful, you have a brand and an audience to leverage. That's valuable and, maybe you just need to develop a new product because the old one is, well, getting old.
We are definitely in the weeds.

When used via an OS, you get better performance when you treat an SSD like a fast tape than you do if you do random IO (in the application domain, in the SSD domain at a high enough granularity yes, they are random access). There is setup time in opening a page, writing blocks within the page, sealing the page. If your writes are less than an SSD block, it has to copy the existing data to a buffer, write it, append the new data, seal the block. Or it applies a translation layer. SSDs are complex devices and are not fundamentally random access, no more so than DRAM, which is also not random access.
A woman in Iran would not be allowed to own a gun. Maybe men, if any people. We have cops cuffing you, throwing you in the back of their car, and leaving said car on train tracks to be hit by an on coming train (see Colorado police video gaining traction in the news). The cops (morality police) in Iran killed the poor woman for indecency. The cops in the US still act egregiously and we have guns. Guns will not help.

I had no clue, if the work week is Sunday though Thursday, it makes perfect sense. Learned something new today :)
If I sell you shit and you happily eat it, but then 3 months later you're like "dude, why did you make me eat shit?". Idk.

seems kinda like the responsibility of the person building the application and managing your users' data to do your due diligence on where the keys to the kingdom go

but... on second thought it's crazy that okta even provides this lmao. It's different when you're a SaaS provider with a position of being secure compared to being an indie merc contractor. Hell, if I was an indie merc, I'd straight up just not do it out of principle.
Are you sure "haven't been hit directly" applies? sounds like juice from the lightning passed right through you, and it was your own muscles that threw you across the room, cuz otherwise, electricity doesn't assplode like that.
Because then the middle of the week is Thursday instead of Wednesday. ;)
Feel free to call it whatever you want. I will call it piracy because most people do.

EDIT: Interestingly, the first recorded usage of "pirate" to imply copyright infringement is from 1913, talking about "pirate broadcasts".

Correct. Sunday is the starting end of the week and Saturday is then stopping end of the week.
It's not so big of a deal. Quoting [1], "France is the largest user of nuclear energy and has also mastered the process of recycling their nuclear waste. These two statistics are no coincidence. By not having to deal with nuclear waste politically, France has been able to build a large number of nuclear plants. If other nations would use their system, nuclear energy would be a great deal more prevalent."

That would be civil war for sure. Syria/Libya/etc 2.0

There are enough separatist groups in Iran backed up by many foreign countries, already armed and they do their share of evil on civilians and law enforcement and military.

Replacing any government by any means usually ends up with power vacuum, breeds terrorists and unleash demons from hell.

If one assumes that all terminals are in use by paying customers @ 110[1] per month that gives 1.3 billion a year in income. Plus 0,5 billion usd for the hardware.

So far there have been 62 Starlink launches - assuming an average price of 67m usd[2] that gives a total launch cost of 4.15 billion(real launch cost is lower as SpaceX does it at cost.

Life expectancy of the satellites are between 5 - 7 years so excluding R&D cost I'd say Starlink is already cashflow positive and will generate huge returns in the future. I'm sure there are some commercial / military contracts in the mix which alone will add a couple of B's to the income number.

The IAMAW wasn't a "neutral third party"; the union's members were the ones potentially responsible for the maintenance faults resulting in the alleged short-circuit in the fuel tank.

The FQIS on Flight 800 is known to have been malfunctioning; the captain remarked on "crazy" readings from the system about 2 minutes and 30 seconds before the aircraft exploded.
This guys thread will almost certainly be wrong and look stupid in the long term. Pessimistic predictions sound smart in the present because with anything new it's hard to know how it will play out. Long term though any early issues with new technology tend to be optimized or solved as things evolve.

Nothing stops you from developing on Chrome and using Firefox for general web browsing.

Presumably, you don't need an ad blocker to test and debug your own code, unless you are testing specifically for ad-blocking browsers. And if you are doing things properly, you should be testing on both browsers anyways, at least as a final step.
I'm curious, are such comments being paid by the number, or article? And is the payment in rubles or some other currency?
And that's not necessarily out of line. Where I live outside Boston which is within a (long--about 90 minute) commute into the city, commuter rail passes (including subway/bus) + parking at commuter rail station would run you about $6,000 per year.
Saudi Arabia used to have Thursday and Friday as weekend. They changed that recently (2013) to Friday and Saturday, because that gives them a bigger overlap with the rest of the world, which is good for business.

Then you are writing bad C++ code.

The new features are added specifically because they enable writing better programs. Avoiding them means you are choosing not to write better programs. It is allowed, but not a thing to brag about.

That does not mean every program has to use every feature. But when there is a choice between the new way and the old way to do something, the new way is very probably better.

Passing a reference, where you can, is better than passing a pointer. Passing a lambda is better than passing a function pointer. New for-loops are better than old for-loops. A unique_ptr is a better member than a naked pointer. A compiler-generated destructor is better than a hand-coded one.

And so on.
Yeah, I am.
It's called 30-hour clock.

This convention is also used by some TV ratings measurement organizations - a show ending Tue 02:00 will be recorded as Mon 26:00, since it logically belonged to the day that ended, not the one that started.

The one in Vegas is also fantastic, although less of a museum and more of a large dirt lot. Certainly better to spend an evening there than on the strip, in my opinion.

I find the implication that aliens are rational and have no subrational concepts due to tradition and habit interesting, as it sort of implies that these kinds of outgrowths are not necessary and can just be done away with. The narrator starts from a position of not wanting to legitimize or historicize beyond reductive statements like "some ancient civilization did XYZ". I'll admit that I skimmed through the last part of the thread, so I might have missed something, but I don't see any mention of the decimal calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar, or why that failed. I get that this is supposed to be funny, but the indirect message of getting rid of whatever doesn't make conscious sense is simplistic, and spoils the fun for me. Humans are stupid, very funny.
Ooh, that's interesting. Did you use decimal time as well?
> Nothing a little Stable Diffusion can't fix.

As someone who works in generative modeling, that's probably what is creating these issues in the first place. Kinda like how you can see certain GAN type of patterns on Netflix when there is upscaling or if you don't turn off the fancy features on your TVs. Of course, finding how these images are corrupted leads to better models so they will be solved. This isn't the first time Google has edited photos and made them worse and it won't be the last. But the trend is that the photos get better.
Without (recent) immigration the US population would be shrinking and aging trend. In addition a large part of immigration to the US is educated boosting the country even further. Immigration is not the problem' politicians selling the populace out for profits to corporations is a much bigger issue.
A pint in the USA is 16 fluid ounces. In the UK (in the ‘imperial’ system) it is 20. [Technically the fluid ounce is also different in the two systems, but not enough to matter at this scale.]

Some US bars will serve imperial pints on request and/or offer them for British or Irish beers.
Very entertaining read. The earthling says at one point (for comedic effect probably) that they don’t know why people used to like to count in dozens. I didn’t understand myself until someone explained to me that it makes dividing pay between a group of workers much easier.

You pay 12 coins for a job, very simple to divide between a team of two, three, four, six or twelve.
Roller skating plate trucks are similar to skateboard trucks.

Kingpin angle affects cornering ability. Kingpins at higher angle from vertical corner more sharply, so skaters doing figures tend to prefer more vertical kingpins than dance skaters, who want to be able to do deep curves. For instance, kingpin angle is the major difference between Snyder Super Deluxe and Imperial plates.

Durability is a serious consideration for roller skating kingpin angles. It's painful when a kingpin breaks and more common with less vertical kingpins, so most skaters doing freestyle will choose a plate with kingpins closer to vertical. Roller skate plates also often have a "jump bar" connecting the two trucks to decrease the chance that a kingpin will break when a jump is landed. Sometimes even a jump bar breaks.
I didn't say array programming doesn't exist, I said it's not popular. How many people actually use those languages compared to e.g. Python, where readability is one of its main features.

> Perl used to be pretty popular too

And now it’s a meme due to how illegible it is.

I’ll put it this way, there’s a reason Brainfuck is a joke lang instead of something people seriously use.

Also, reading and writing are not orthogonal skills. One has to read to be able to write. I read my programs constantly as I'm writing them.
You don’t need to go rural or sparsely populated for low cost living… places like india have low cost housing, food, internet, and labor. I would think the market for internet in sparsely populated areas is by definition negligible.

But, if all cell phones can access starlink in cell phone dead zones, that might make it economically viable, as the market expands to 5 billion plus users.

This is not a good-faith comment. This is incredibly dismissive without providing any supporting information. Do better.
I would not trust Wikipedia for any politically contentious issue - and especially not for anything that pits different nationalities against one another.

There are different political factions (and in particular, nationalist factions) that heavily push their point of view and that will attempt to control articles that they care about. Look at the talk page or edit history of any article related to a contentious historical topic that pits different Eastern European countries against one another, and you'll see what I mean. There's even a long-standing fight over the nationality of Copernicus, a man who lived before the establishment of modern nation-states.

What is clear in the war over South Ossetia is that the Georgian president, Saakashvili, made a decision to retake the territory with a full-scale invasion. Up until that point, there was sporadic fighting over between Georgians and Ossetians, but the EU report on the conflict found that the Georgians were the first to launch a full ground invasion. Saakashvili had long made full reunification of all Georgian territories a major goal, and he had previously brought another region, Adjara, back under the control of the central government.

Well the grandfather comment talked about disability compensation inflation, aka, simple fraud. I don't think it overly outrageous to consider that someone that works for an organization that (recently!) backed death squads, would stoop to fraud for personal gain.

There's no claim they have the actual tapes. We'll see what the record they've got says; that they're not parading it to the media is, at the very least, interesting.
