do we know they are net receivers rather than net contributors? i would expect 30-something percent of the lifetime earnings of a very rich person to be more than the cost of putting that person through oxford? and do they really use more services around things like healthcare or less because they might lean on private insurance? seems like pensions are probably concentrated in lower classes as well. i'm not british though so you probably know of better data on this.
Treesitter is slower to parse a file initially but quicker at handling incremental changes. You probably won’t notice unless you open a huge source file.
They should be doing exactly that anyway.
Indeed. I'm using such a closed loop right now, and old Medtronic pumps routinely sell for $500-1000 to people who want to use them to loop.
I run a tugboat company. We are moving a barge and equipment to Sanibel Island right now. We expect months of work removing debris to the mainland and moving construction equipment to the island. The system is working as designed.

> We can't improve ourselves, but that's only because we're meat, not code.

Doesn't seem like computers can improve themselves either. Mainly because they're made of silicon, not code. "AI can read and write its own code" doesn't exist right now, but even if it did, why is that also implying "AI can read its CPU Verilog and invent new process nodes at TSMC"?

(Also, humans constantly break things when they try changing code - the safest way to not regress yourself would be to not try improving.)

We literally gave up after asking a number of times for a quote. The only other company I’ve had that happen with was IBM.
The only state-funded media that I know of (BBC, CBC, and PBS) are all pretty good. I'd be sad to see any of them go away.
> they are not going to make exception to the normal process

Unlike some smaller republics in the Europe, the Ukraine has to wait. No normal process reference is necessary.

Edit: those who say Ukraine is less deserving the de-jure membership in NATO - de-facto Ukraine almost have it already - than e.g. Northern Macedonia seem to be losing touch with reality. Let's remember how, when and why NATO was created...
This: “Ok, so you’re going to see them 15 more times before they die.”

I'm living far away from my parents. And I see them once a year (except the last 3 years because of COVID). I came myself to this math, the first time I was to them, and we had a pretty heavy discussion. I understood, I was going to see them 10 to 20 times, 20 days each time, which boils down to about... 1 year?

It really makes you take those 20 days very differently!
Do you have any example app repos?

As an engineer, I'd probably want to see what the generated code looks like before paying. I'm also probably not the target market, but as someone who is regularly asked by non-engineers for tech advice about websites and apps, it would be great to be able to recommend with confidence.
VPNs entire business revolves around not giving up your data, that's why you pay them. ISP business revolves around protecting their monopoly which means making the government happy. Massively different incentives which means they will act differently. If VPN leaks data and people find out they're done. If ISP does nothing changes for them.
I think they already do. Just like chrome and firefox block sites that are considered insecure.

I don't think they need a VPN for this.
No, Edge does. It actually is the best performing and battery life browser on Windows.
Indian market regulator tightens IPO disclosure norms
Sure, maybe not display it in the publicly visible warnings, but if the admins of a domain email you from the same domain as the flagged site, then maybe providing more detail at that point is an acceptable method of fixing the issue.

Saying "we know you are compromised and know exactly where, but we're not going to tell" is very childish. Now, if they said for a nomial fee, we'd be happy to share the results of our work, would be another thing totally.
Indeed. Nobody complains about the evils of suppression and oppression anymore; they complain about how the wrong thoughts are being suppressed and the wrong people are doing the oppressing.

It's not freedom vs suppression anymore; it's "ban teaching about racism" vs "ban saying naughty words". The idea that you should defend the rights of people you hate is completely dead in the water.
I can absolutely confirm that Edge is blocking sites based on spurious signals. One of mine is still getting a similar warning. We were given an explicit reason, namely that a form action was pointing to a different URL that looked suspicious. The URL was an API service that we also operate. I followed up with their support who said they couldn't remove the warning unless I sent a link to a page on that URL they could look at. I replied that it's an API server and does not have any pages which got no reply. Besides the fact that that's a terrible test of authenticity. We could easily apply a DNS TXT record or something but it wasn't offered as an option. MS are definitely in the wrong in my case and the only solution is to change our implementation and cross our fingers.
Delivery drone crashes into power lines, causes outage
This process often gets it wrong in my experience
It's certainly not my intent to undermine the efforts of Robin Rombach, Andreas Blattman, Katherine Crowson (and many others).

Katherine's work on clip-guided-diffusion over the `guided-diffusion` ImageNet checkpoints was effectively the first time the public got to see what text-to-image via diffusion instead of purely transformer-based solutions (like in DALLE1/dalle-mini) would look like. And it happened well before GLIDE was published (and gets a mention/citation).

The CompVis team (Blattman, Rombach, etc.) has been able to not just compete, but surpass (in some ways - it's nuanced) the work of the big American research labs (OpenAI in particular) with solid novel research. Their research on `VQGAN` outperformed the Autoencoder from the DALLE-1 paper, and they've been competing directly in the vision space ever since.

Incredibly talented people.
Some users might want this feature, which gets them more users. I think outside HN most users would appreciate a free VPN for when they're on public Wi-Fi.

Ah yes, just like how the US attacked Iraq, Afghanistan and is supporting the apartheid occupation in Palestine.

But it's the US so it's OK.
Hmm, MedTronic already had at least one recall on this series of pumps:

https://diatribe.org/medtronic-provides-update-recall-thousa...

Tandem recently released updated firmware and mobile app for their t:slim X2 pumps which includes a function to deliver insulin from the mobile app. To me, this seems like a dangerous idea, given that people can die from an insulin overdose. I'm perfectly happy keeping the function solely on the physical device. My wariness has not been shared by the majority (or even a small fraction) I've discussed this with online - pump users generally desire this convenience and are not at all concerned about potential security implications.
Private texts between Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey made public
Yet fire and earthquake damage are not generally covered by FEMA in California in most cases (I would expect the Big One, when it happens, to be, but based on the big stink that Trump raised to the applause of certain states, like Florida, about cutting back wildfire prevention/disaster funds to CA in 2019, who knows) and economically that state is much more important than Florida.

And thus California has very-high deductible insurance coverage in areas that are especially susceptible to such disasters, because it IS an inevitable risk that such an event will happen. Florida should do the same, as their "catastrophic disaster" is annual.

"Replacements" for SQL have been around as long as SQL. Remember the OODBMS rage of the eighties and nineties?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_database

I also wanted to kill old, obsolete, crummy SQL when I first learned it as a teenager. It reminded me of FORTRAN or COBAL or something.

It took quite a lot of theory and maturity to understand why RDBMS is the right paradigm. SQL is imperfect, but it's good enough to not be worth replacing.

Whenever I've seen benchmarks of postgresql managing JSON versus mongodb, postgresql won (at least comparing apples-to-apples; postgresql is much more conservative by default, in terms of reliability and data consistency, than mongodb). There's literally no reason to going with a lot of NoSQL databases over using a SQL database as a key-value store.
I've read "cyberpunk" novels so I had a certain vision of what a virtual world would look like that I probably share with a lot of people. Believe me, it's not the worlds biggest online cyber mall with cyber mall cops telling me to behave myself. Metaverse is a corporate wet dream. I regret spending money on my Oculus glasses.

I'd hoped the virtual world would start out and be built organically by people because it was fun, useful and anyone could make a little money, just like the early internet.

Foisting this mall world on us is not going to work. I hope they adjust.
No..

It is a population that evolves, not an individual.

Selection of a pre-existing feature that already occurs in the gene pool is exactly how evolution works. There are only two things needed for evolution:
1) generation of diversity between individuals (see sexual recombination, V(D)J recombination, etc)
2) selection of traits

The fact that black frogs already existed at some frequency does not mean that the population did not evolve in response to radiation.

But you are right that radiation is not the only thing that might select for dark frogs.
Twitter Appears to Shadowban Videos of Italy’s First Female Incoming PM Meloni

Epigenetics - the ability to switch certain genes on and off without changing the genetic information (like commenting out certain lines of code) based on environmental cues.
I appreciate your viewpoint, and in some ways I agree.
However I see it mostly from a competitors point of view.
If you were to start up a new directory/mapping service, you would need to set up a team of people paid to gather this information for you.

For example if you wanted to put in your new directory whether company A has a car park at their premesis or has disabled access etc, you would need to pay somebody to either go there and perform a survey or call them up and ask them. Googles monopoly enables them to just ask the question to everybody that has ever been there and get the data returned back into the system automatically and free.

I see this as anticompetitive and so I choose not to participate.
As boy scouts, we set up a booth at the local Dairy Queen to get fingerprints for kids if their parents wanted it. A lot of parents did indeed want it. Can't remember exactly what year it was, but early/mid 80s sounds about right.
I don't do it for every vendor but I have a separate email address that I use just for Amazon.

The primary reason is because Amazon has a huge security hole by way of chat and call center reps.

There used to be a way to hack into someone's Amazon account that went like this:

1. Call Amazon and say I'm 300 bps and my email is 300bps@gmail.com

2. Tell the rep you want to add a credit card on your account and give them the credit card

3. Do a forgot my password. One of the MFA questions was "What are the last 4 digits of any credit card on your account?"

So to hedge against this particular exploit and any unknown ones that come up caused by Amazon's giant target and their accommodative customer service, I just use a unique email address on their site.
In my experience I'd say particularly at the local level since there's usually much less oversight or training and more gun-ho attitude.
The ps1 cpu was just a mips. Building a mips cpu with an fpga is a normal required undergrad project for a cs degree or it was a couple decades ago. I was feeling dismissive until I looked at the specs for the gpu and spu... That was some serious work for the ps1. The ps2 had that odd cell processor, or emotion engine whatever you want to call it. Its still basically multiple simplified mips cores but now all the stuff to synchronize them correctly? I'm surprised the ps2 emulators are as close as they are. Doing it all in hdl, and with the upgraded gpu, that is enough work that I wonder if software emulation fidelity wouldn't reach hardware fidelity before the fpga design did.
I have to think that in this case they mean "website" in the historical form as content vs "app-like" meaning like a web application. If you already have a web application and it works well on mobile, what more could they expect really?

If you are local news site, then this probably is going to be an issue. If your app allows someone to track how many package deliveries they have, then it likely already in a format they are happy with.
Wish I had gotten that advice.
yeah true and i'm not asking for anyone to remove stuff, nothing wrong with being wrong (though i wish this person did it less confidently). when i commented though this was the top comment on the thread (still #2) and i was more hoping dang could pin a better explanation to the top. reading something egregiously wrong that's written very confidently first thing can screw up a thread imo.
Not answering your primary question, I know. But I wonder where you are getting the "Java is Dead" sentiment - I am not getting it at all in my (web/enterprisey) circle, if anything there is a lot of excitement due to new LTS versions and other JVM languages like Kotlin. And I am also finding a lot of gratitude for the language not changing in drastic ways (can you imagine a Python 2->3 like transition?) despite the siren call of fancy new PL features.
On a related note, Australia successfully pass a similar law that forced Facebook and Google to re-negotiate with newspapers and sign a deal. I don't know whether it was actually a good law or not, but it seems to me like there could be different approaches to making such laws and some might work and some won't.
Yes and despite that they have below average per capita federal aid. Not only that, they had a record surplus in their state budget the last year. If someone were to try and attempt to portray Florida as some fiscally irresponsible welfare state, I would assert they would be quite misguided.
Between net/http, database/sql, and html/template, you can make an MVC app. I agree with you that doing so isn't necessarily a worthy goal, but it provides a standard for all web frameworks/libraries to start with, and makes them more likely to get along.
Not the same sort of scale. The technology part of it scaled fine, probably because Google invested the money and dev hours into making sure it did. The product itself didn't scale for a host of other reasons, but none of them had to do with the reasons it might be interesting to develop around it.

There's certain problem spaces that are just different if you have different amounts of money and dedication behind them. Working for AWS is likely much different than working for Linode, even aside from the culture of each company. Longer runways, better access to cutting-edge tech, a pre-existing global-scale infrastructure pattern... Even working on a failed project can be an interesting experience sometimes.
God I miss Presto and Dragonfly. :'(
Playing a musical instrument is very fine tuned use of auditory proprioception.
Both true. I guess?..
I'll believe those guys when I see a commercial scale version. Lots of things have been done in the lab with a large budge for small results. I would say less than 0.5% of them become a success. I hope they do, I would love for this to be true. However, the planet is dying right now and nuclear is one of those things that could help us save ourselves from ourselves so I will keep rooting for it.
Is there any plausible way a navy ship could have blown up the pipeline? Everyone knew about it pretty quickly, no? Like before a ship got more than 30 miles away? I assumed it would have been done by a small team of saboteurs on a plausibly deniable vessel, but I'm not an expert. What's the consensus?

I don't think rage-quitting NATO would be the concern, but a trade war. The US bombing the pipeline is like a tariff applied outside their borders, you can't firmly discount the possibility that someone would take issue with it. Is it likely? Honestly I doubt it, but for the US to benefit western Europe would definitely need to crack come winter (which is by no means guaranteed), and it would be have to be easier to import from America than from Russia even if they did, which isn't obvious. If the US had the capacity to sell enough gas to Europe to profit from this, they wouldn't be worried about energy-hungry nations breaking the embargo!
Private insurers will not cover homes in coastal areas that flood frequently. It is simply not financially viable. Many beach properties have subsidized government insurance.

Climate change really doesn't have an opinion on this. Here's a paper from the EPA:

"What Climate Change Means for Puerto Rico"

https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/sites/production/files...

As someone who believes climate change is fact, if I had the economic mobility to move my life away from such an area I would. Sorry if this seems harsh, but people much smarter than me agree that these areas are going to be prone to worse and worse conditions in the coming decades.
Instead of supplying a mega corp with some free information to increase their monopoly on directions, maybe you could have just mentioned to the hospital staff that they could do with a new sign pointing to the door?
Not directly, but there's lots of federal funding that ends up in police budgets.
I mean, I live there and the average costal Floridian in my area is completely deaf to the risks and what’s coming with climate change. The whole thing is a raging party on the Timucua native burial grounds. I watched dozens of new million dollar houses built in obvious flood zones over the past few years near me. They are all waist deep in floodwater. It’s not an “I told you so” moment at all. It’s like the inevitability of rain coming right on schedule.

Everyone kept asking me when I was going to buy a house and telling me how much money I was going to make on the appreciation and it was all so preposterous, like a bitcoin moon fantasy. In all likelihood, within my lifetime my part of Florida will return to the sea from whence it came. I have always seen the floodwaters because they have always been there. Now everyone else can see them too.

Nothing about a link between corruption and lack of local journalism, however
I can't find a bookmark I had which was an online platform for this - but which would integrate various APIs you connected, or maybe it was just for a website's traffic - where you could set a certain noise to trigger, say on new visitor or when a certain page like signup was touched.

I thought it was a nice passive way to get notifications, and something that could be motivating depending on what you have it linked with.

From the article, this is powered by a partnership with Cloudflare. It's worth noting that until August 6 of this year, Cloudflare's WARP VPN would leak your IP address - but only to sites using the Cloudflare network.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220609160341/https://developer...

And when Cloudflare released their new SOPs for Warp, they did so in a blog post titled "More features, still private" - https://blog.cloudflare.com/geoexit-improving-warp-user-expe... as referenced in https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/known-issues-a...

Microsoft's initial announcement for the feature touted that IP addresses would be masked, and one imagines that they did their diligence with Cloudflare and are enforcing the strong practices that WARP has now rolled out more broadly.

But it's worth noting that you're routing through a company to whom the words "still private" encompassed leaking client IP address information to Cloudflare's hosting customers as recently as two months ago.
NoSQL is like simple assignment to storage and one layer of obvious indexing. Its lower level, and therefore much faster and predictable because there is no query planner guessing how to assemble things.

Tuning SQL on the other hand is a guessing game with the query planner. You can express a lot more but 1% of those expressions could down your DB.

I like both, but if you want performance NoSQL is the winner.
Please refer us to court cases where they went after people and made false claims. Until then I think I'll keep Qt in my belt of tools.
