> There's the issue.

No. There's the catalyst for the situation - maybe. But systems do not have to do updates that way. The issue is how Windows does updates and software installation. Other systems prove it can be better, faster, and doesn't have to take over what you're doing.

I think I can relate to what you are describing. I absolutely love solitude, making my own plans, indulging in my own hobbies by myself. But sometimes, I get the feeling that I want some kind of connection. I want to go to a movie, or brunch with friends, or a concert or something. When it comes to actually making those plans, though, I have to drag myself out the door to follow through and not cancel because in the moment I really feel like I'd rather just make a coffee and do some reading. But if I do make myself go out there, I rarely regret it.

In the moment that I am choosing to be alone, I feel relief. But the feeling of regret often comes after it's too late to rectify the missed opportunity: "I could have spent this day playing board games with some new people and instead I sat around my house."

I don't know how to fix it other than persevering and _forcing_ myself to make plans that involve other people rather than falling back to the easy thing that comes intuitively to me: being by myself.
Finally! I can go outside! : ' )
you are assuming wrong. why was policy not put in place to NOT allow that in the first place? what about post 9/11? why did the US literally justify invading another country on "revenge"? where is democracy in that?

Ask HN: What do you use to visualize your Terraform deployments?
This has nothing to do with forcing the updates - just the way they're installed. If I boot a Linux distro after a few months it can be updated in the background in minutes. Then either you restart the services or they get restarted with the next reboot. This mostly does not affect your workflow at all.
15 minutes in. Wuauserv is stealing the show. Spinning 100%. Meanwhile, Google and Adobe took their turns in updating as well.

50 minutes in. Still going 100%.

90 minutes in. TiWorker -Embedding (servicingstack) is now spinning.

Meanwhile I believe Windows 95 already finished installing from floppy disks on my old Pentium laptop.

Your reductionist view gives no room for safe cycling in most cities. It requires nothing of the drivers and accomodations from everyone else. Why is that? Cars haven’t even been common for 100 years. Before they came along, we didn’t even need speed limits, and vehicles of different kinds could occupy the streets together. Now it’s all just cars. It doesn’t have to be that way, and in some parts of the world it isn’t.

You say I’m a lunatic, but my experience and the scientific community research shows that drivers often don’t view cyclists as humans, nor do they accurately assess the risk of driving too close to (or even ramming or side swiping) cyclists. (You can find several papers on this, or just ask any cyclist.)

By the way, even if it’s only 1 in 100 drivers who hold this attitude, a cyclist encounters hundreds of drivers during a typical trip. Those are not good odds.

I thought one of the advent of code challenges needed a linked list, but other than that, I have never needed one.

I was just surprised as I thought it was a basic structure, so it just seemed like there ought to be a `from collections import linkedlist` because python just feel like the kind of language where you just do that without even consulting the docs.
Security is indeed something you need to take into consideration. Not only installing plugins, but also pulling in updates regularly (that might contain new exploits).

But you have to ask yourself the question what is most important:

1. A full featured system that is popular (because it's full featured), but might have higher risk on security.

1. A limited system that is less popular (because of the limited features), but has a high regard on security.

Anyway, I don't store personal information and have regular backups. So when the worst hits the fan, I would still be able to recover from that.

You have to ask the question how important security is relative to all the other things. Once I would have ingame currency for example, I will need to beef up my focus on security. But for now, I accept the trade-off.

People until WinXP: Windows is constantly vulnerable, M$ should do something!

MS: *invents Windows Update*

People: *disables Windows Update*

People: My Windows has died for another MS Blaster variant! M$ should do something!

MS after Win8: *makes intrusive, hard to disable, forceful Windows Update which... forces the Windows to be updated, duh*

People: My Windows is unusable! M$ should do something!

...

Sure, quality of the how the process was implemented desires better (I'm too in the victim list of the forced reboot after update), but, BUT! the overall quality gone better. With Win10 not from a fresh install it's just a couple of monthly updates from the last month (Quality and Security Update rollups?), not all updates for the last N months you didn't booted it up.

Over water (completely flat) you have a maximum sight-line of 3.1 miles due to the curve of the earth. Not only is this shot unlikely to be repeatable, but it is downright impossible without a forward observer.

The current record for the farthest sniper shot resulting in a kill is just under 2.2 miles for reference. With the power requirements to get a bullet out that far, all of the longest sniper shots are using effectively anti-material rifles (designed to take out a car engine, not a person).
I would bet a large amount of money what you mentioned is entirely false. The PA systems are built into the aircraft, where as wifi is an aftermarket addon.

Absolutely did this in middle school music class, where there was a cassette player that usually went unused. I don’t remember the details but it was basically 10 minutes of silence and then some raunchy audio, probably NIN or Marilyn Manson (it was 1998 and we were 12).
One note of caution, he describes removing the lath and plaster and inserting eps insulation. It didn’t mention if he did this, he might have done, but it’s important to have a continuous taped vapour barrier on the warm side of the insulation to prevent water vapour from passing through, condensing on the timber structure and causing it to rot. Also ventilate the cold side of the insulation or a least have a gap to form a capillary break with the cold outside wall. I’ve seen a few badly done insulation jobs in timber buildings that have needed floor joists and studs cut out and replaced. It only takes about 15-20 years.
Really good point there - the overlap of multiple people on all those flights would be very unlikely.
For the last few years with PlotAPI [1], it's been mostly about communicating early and managing expectations. The emails hit my phone, so I always reply within a reasonable time to confirm I've seen their email, thank them for their business, and some timeframe of when I can get around to addressing the issue.

Besides that, I've kept things simple and built my own tools around deployment - so making quick changes/fixes are easy for me as a team of one.

I'm refreshing the docs site [2] right now, which I hope will reduce the number of emails I get and make it easier for customers to get the answers they need (even to questions they didn't know they had) themselves.

If you draw a polygon around the poorest contiguous region of 5% of the population of any state ... won't you also likely end up with a area with a median income below Mississippi?

Forget the contiguous geographic restriction for a moment, if I instead said the median of income in the poorest 5% of California was less than the median income of Mississippi would anyone find that surprising in the slightest? What about the poorest 5% of counties having a median income less than mississippi? Still not surprising. Requiring the contiguous areas would increase the income somewhat-- but we know that activities and income are not geographically independent.
Don't you need to know the balance factor before you know which rotation to do?

Vienna Teng – The Hymn of Acxiom
My submission here is just is a song by Vienna Teng from her 2013 album 'Aims', but I think it has more relevance to Hacker News than may be initially apparent. And I think it's a really brilliant piece of art.

You have the start that reads and sounds like a Christian hymn, but a wrongness creeps in. Eventually you realise Acxiom is a data collection and marketing company, and the machine-like sound of the singing isn't just a vocal effect but the machine itself speaking.

The algorithm gathers everything about you and feeds your desires back until finally, ultimately, it possesses you. There's the double meaning in "embrace you for all you’re worth." And then finally, sensing your discomfort, confusion. Isn’t this what you want?

> Yes, statistical "proof" that it wasn't 10,000-to-1 luck would require far more experimental data. With their setup, that wouldn't be quick or cheap to get.

Saying that this wouldn't be quick or cheap to get is just an admission that you think it was 10,000-to-1 luck. Why wouldn't it be quick?
Yeah for sure. I think your intuition is almost right. Python does have a "batteries included" philosophy, but it's also not usually clear or documented what data structures something is using. Like I presume that Python's sets are syntactic sugar over dictionaries where the values are None, but when I skimmed the docs just now I didn't find any mention of the implementation details.

Python doesn't want you thinking in terms of data structures, just in terms of functionality. Which I think is unfortunate and limiting.
This has already been happening for a while with cheap hydro electricity from Siberia, if I understand the situation correctly. Did anyone perform a comparison of Bitcoin vs batteries vs new electricity lines yet, is it a viable replacement under certain conditions?
Thanks. Yeah, especially difficult when you read multiple different claims and none have a source. They probably heard it themselves from someone else.

I'm quite curious because I have an old-ish heat pump that's a little small for the space and I've been thinking of getting a larger one. But if it'll be less efficient then maybe I won't. The one I have does perfectly fine except on a few of the coldest winter mornings.
Misanthropy
An OS is actually not that "large" - at least if one looks at Linux. If you do a simple LoC count you do get an answer in the millions, yet the core is much smaller and the rest is in a bazillion of drivers.

Browser are the typical case of a project/product that became bloated over time; they began as relatively simple document downloader and viewer, but now they are also application downloader and execution environments. This causes all kind of problems for users and implementors. The answer is somewhat eye-rolling: we should go back to Flashplayer times (with something better than FlashPlayer though). Let browsers handle HTML/CSS, and delegate everything else (PDF, big media files,...) to dedicated applications chosen by the end user. One can still do that, indeed, except it has become more and more difficult - even for simple text-and-images documents - because websites are abusing Javascript capabilities.

"we have to handle complexity better" is the common way of thinking, and I think it is wrong as a first reaction. Trying to lower the complexity first is better.
But why can't we make an app if we need an app?
True! Didn't consider that. New age doesn't sound that cool tho.
If I'm not mistaken gitea stores codebases/projects on the filesystem, so having a hardcoded database password makes no difference. If someone gets into the server they can simply copy the files without touching the database.

As others have indicated, a VPN server of your choosing (openvpn/wireguard) can solve your issues. Even if at some point there's an "unauthenticated RCE" exploit for gitea, having it behind a VPN will mitigate that.

Not trying to downplay this. But with 69 shots, isn't this like Worms computer games where your first shot is guesstimate, and the rest is just nudging the degree "up or down"?

Or they use same approach that NASA uses to launch a rocket to ensure it lands on the moon? I.e some sophisticated calculation (which I assume part of the “some secrets” mentioned in the article).
Thank you. Just checked out the Bagel post (https://www.brandons.me/blog/the-bagel-language) and it looks really cool. Identifying pure functions (whether that is by syntax annotation or from synthesis) is a really good idea, gives me some ideas for doing function inlining in Ezno. I like the "Misc niceties" section, a few of those may of may not be on Ezno's todo list :)

The automatic / inferred generic restrictions is quite cool. https://hegel.js.org/ got there before me! Basic restriction modification is quite simple e.g. `(x) => Math.sin(x)`, x wants to be a number so can add that restriction. It gets more difficult with higher poly types. `(someObj) => Math.sin(someObj.prop1.prop2)` requires modifying not just `someObj` but a property on a property on it. And `(x, y) => printString(x + y)` requires doing even more complex things. But its definitely possible!
Not anymore. China, Russia and india are exchanging in their own currencies.
If you could somehow revive Keynes for a day he would have said "raise taxes and pay off government debt to keep inflation in check"

Keynes policy proposals for the government have an obvious flaw, nobody really follows them unless he gives the government permission to spend (which is obviously a valid move in a depression or during COVID). This is why I think Keynes theories have had more success in montary policy than fiscal policy.
I'm fascinated by how this works. Does it do any CFD type of simulation of the gas flow in the engine? Is the simulation entirely 2D?

I've thought about doing a similar project myself but would like to be able to simulate the effects of engine tuning techniques such as "porting" of the cylinder head. I think that is quite hard - I don't think a simple incompressible flow CFD simulation would be sufficient. Particularly if you wanted to simulate the pressure waves in a tuned-length-induction system, I'm pretty sure you'd need compressible flow.

I haven't been able to find any suitable tutorials on simulating compressible flow. Most of the teaching material I found starts with vast amounts of pencil and paper maths exercises and assumes graduate level vector calculus. I want something that starts with for loops and a hand waving understanding of the concepts of vector calculus.

I think you could still do something interesting in 2D. I've struggled to find anywhere to discuss such ideas.
Is that corruption or is it the lack of participation in our democracy? The percentage of people that vote is rather small, especially in the primary elections when it really makes a difference. I think most government action is in alignment with the people who vote and participate the most.
That’s not what your article or the actual researchers say. You’ve extrapolated from “possible link that needs verification” to “cause” which is potentially incredibly dangerous for babies.

> While scientists continue their research, Dr. Belcastro recommends that you and caregivers for your baby faithfully follow safe sleep guidelines to minimize the risk of SIDS. These precautions are especially important from ages one to six months, when babies cannot roll themselves over:

>Yes, you could write some hand made program. And piping software together IS a kind of hand made program. It's just going to be far faster to write that pipeline, than to write a custom program, deploy, and run it.

I suppose the speed of implementation depends entirely on your available experience. If I were to try to reproduce the data processing pipeline in your link, it would take me hours to get to this line "cat *.pgn | grep "Result" | sort | uniq -c", and would probably never be able to get to any of the further steps.

Meanwhile, with my experience, I would've been able to write a 5 minute C# program that does exactly the same data processing. I don't know if it'd go down all the way to 12 seconds of execution time without serious effort, but I'm pretty sure it would handily beat the version I could write using the commandline.

If this task is a single time kind of thing, the C# program more than suffices. If it's a many times kind of thing, I'd strongly prefer having it in C# code, so I can more easily adjust it and make it part of a larger automated workflow which will mostly consist of other C# code.
