> Bitmaps are much faster to draw and can be made pixel-precise up front.

yes, but that alone doesn't require that bitmap graphics be used.

> With vectors it's easy to have pixel cracks or blurry lines because it's offset .5px.

only if your renderer or your artwork isn't done correctly; inkscape used to be notorious for floating point rounding errors showing up with very few manipulations of a shape.

it's also been very easy to very quickly rasterize vector graphics for some time. maybe not fast enough in the past I guess, but computers are certainly fast enough now.

I look forward to a time when UIs are just all vector all the time, and it's the monitor itself which rasterizes, thanks to a program that the attached device uploads as it boots up or as the monitor is connected.

it's going to get more and more difficult to continue increasing display resolutions and refresh rates over long inexpensive cables if we continue to rasterize on a computer and push raw pixels to the display device.

It's just hard for people to take police demands seriously when they choose to elect someone that basically everyone in the city believes is evil. I find it hard to believe politicians aren't attempting to find common ground on changes that can be made, but every time the mayor releases a list of reforms they'd like to see the only response is "fuck off or we stop arresting people" and then they follow through if push comes to shove.

I wish there was such a metric, but have never heard of such. The simplistic formula you give has the benefit of being simple to understand and is based on readily verifiable numbers, but is obviously wildly inaccurate.

- that people with a high marginal tax rate on taxable income (U.S.) actually pay that as an effective rate on their total net income

- that carpool (HOV) lane restrictions result in more carpooling, rather than just helping people who would have been together in the car anyway, or not taking a car at all, with or without HOV lanes

And? Should I not comment or what?

We're humans. We all talk about lots of problems we can't directly solve, whether its war or the environment or anything else.
I think not really. It depends on why you think subsidizing is a good thing.

My personal take is that we should subsidize tech to take it from an early stage to a production stage as soon as possible. We need better power sources yesterday, not next century. So we can't sit around waiting for some sort of Elon Musk to get really passionate and dump heaps of cash into it.

But the assumption there is that once the tech is developed and mature, it'll be good enough to stand on its own. Because if it'll never not be expensive, we're just artifically choosing a power source that's permanently more expensive than the alternatives, and that's an unstable situation. Eventually people will get tired of dumping money into it, or there will be some other urgent matter to throw money at, and then we have a bunch of expensive tech that's falling out of use, and underdeveloped alternatives.

Subsidizing nuclear forever also doesn't make any sense economically. Money is fungible. There's no real difference between say, paying $200/month to your power company, or paying $100/month to your power company, and $100 in taxes that ends up going to the power company. The amount you have to spend at the end of the month is the same either way. Now paying $200/month for 5 years so that then your power bill drops to $50/month afterwards, that's a different proposition.

So, I support subsidizing solar, wind and storage because I believe that in their perfected, mass produced versions they're cheap and competitive. They just need a push now. I don't support subsidizing nuclear because I believe it'll always be expensive because it's a fundamentally complex technology that's not amenable to mass production and will always lose to brute force mass applications of simpler technologies.
I don’t understand how this is controversial.

If you’ve ever played a competitive game then you’ve almost certainly encountered an abusive player.

I don’t just mean verbally abusive, I mean the player who quits the game, AFKs, or intentionally feeds the enemy team when they don’t get the role they want. Maybe you’ve encountered the player who dodges the match the moment their favorite character is selected.

Typically even if the game ended the moment they left, or if there was a vote kick/remake mechanism. You will have lost at least 2-3 minutes of your time, if not the length of an entire match.

As a child, maybe this is acceptable, you can just move on to the next match. As an adult who can only set aside enough time for one or two matches it’s devastating. It’s the type of behavior that you the good behaving, rule respecting, team player gets penalized for.

When there is no restriction on just creating new accounts, these negative types of players just create a new account after they get banned or penalized and continue being negative players.

Increasingly these new accounts are being sold for $0.50 to $3.00, pre made with the tutorial missions completed, so that these negative players can spend a tiny amount of money and jump right into ruining another persons night.

I hope all multiplayer games start to add in this type of requirement. Bad behavior should be punished in an enforceable way.

I think the point of having the online map accurate is so people can plan better ahead of time. We had this exact situation recently when my MIL needed to go to get CT scan in a hospital campus but my wife wanted to plan ahead which of the many entrances she should drop her off at.

It was the profits from this that made Xerox PARC possible, a little over a decade later. Xerox's monopoly on copiers was going away, and they thought they'd get ahead of the curve and invent the next generation of office technology.

In my 6 1/2 years there, I never met anyone who worked on optical copiers, and never went to Rochester or Stamford (although lots of friends did). I certainly did meet lots of people working on the new generation of laser printers.
Google's PR team explicitly said they will never reinstate that user and that they stand by their CSAM detection policy.

I'm not sure what mindset drives people to say "even if you didn't commit a crime, you're guilty of the appearance of that crime, which is good enough". Social media outrage mobs perhaps, but my money is more on "this user puts us at risk of criminal prosecution". A lot of companies treat CSAM detection & removal as a subdepartment of risk management, which means lots of "shut the fuck up and go away".

The question that is correctly being answered is more like "when did the colonists that formed the united states first arrive".

Florida as a colony was founded by Spain, was briefly under British control and against secession, and then went back to Spain for another fifty years. Then it was finally sold to the fifty-year-old United States, much too late to be part of the founding.
I don’t even know where to begin.
It's $8/month per-kilowatt and for PG&E customers the Market Transition Credit makes it $6.38/month per-kilowatt (at least initially). So you'd be paying ~$32 to PG&E for a 5kW system, not $50. It's really hard to know if the numbers CPUC settled on are really achieved the right balance, but they are trying to deal with a real problem here. There are a bunch of fixed costs associated with being attached to the grid that are currently baked into electric rates and since solar lets you avoid a bunch of electric charges (especially with the current NEM 2.0 rules) this represents a fairly large subsidy. As solar grows in share, the value of each additional solar installation falls unless its paired with storage to shift that generation to when there's the most net demand.

Now I don't actually know if CPUC actually stuck the landing here. The proposed rulemaking is a pretty dense document and it seems non-trivial to model costs from parsing that.

> I could buy a pallet of 10 solar panels, a converter/invetor all in one from EG4, and an EG4 5kw lithium iron phosphate battery for around $6000.

3.7 kW of panels (assuming these are 370 watt panels like you mentioned above) and 5 kWh of storage is not going to go very far in an off-grid system unless your electric use is pretty low. The thing about going completely off-grid is that you need a substantially larger system than in a grid-tied scenario both in terms of generation and storage.
My concern is that the phone could be compromised. Having a phone hacked would be bad enough without giving the attacker the option to easily hospitalize/kill you.

The US is pretty strict about it, legally speaking.

If I recall correctly, the reason I couldn't get a debit card for my bank account as a 14/15 year old without giving a guardian access to my account is that issuing a debit card required signing a contract and I legally couldn't do that.

Minors do sign things, they just have no legal validity for the most part (I think employment docs for kids over 14/16 might be an exception, but a lot of states regulate that and mandate an adult's consent as well).

Rethink Using Wrist Rests
It's important to distinguish claims that Trump's Presidency was "illegitimate" from claims that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The former is unsubstantiated, while the latter has been confirmed by multiple investigations, including one by the bi-partisan Senate Intelligence Committee (https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/press/senate-intel-relea...). This video lumps the two together for sensationalism, erroneously making it seem like everyone was publicly questioning the actual election results, which was not the case. Many people referred to the entire Russian effort to interfere as "Russian hacking," even though attempted access of digital election infrastructure was only part of their activities and there's no evidence actual cyber-attacks changed the outcome.

That doesn't counter the point above. France's fleet was built in the 70s, at difference costs. And what were those costs? Were they viable at the time, or was it a government program that would spend at any cost? Are today's costs viable now?

Have you bothered to look at Flamanville or Olkiluoto? What happened when in the past when France built subsequent copies of a reactor design, and won't we expect similar costs rises with these already unviable reactors?

> why exactly can't you use a proper code editor via ssh?

Well, vim is a proper code editor. If you mean VSCode, it's not available everywhere; been at plenty of places where installing/using non-approved software on work machines was forbidden. Also, and this is a minor point, kinda, but using (n)vi(m) remotely rather than VSCode gives me one/many windows fewer to manage on my local end - everything currently lives in iTerm2 and I only have one app to wrangle. Using VSCode would give me another one - unless it can do terminal emulation as well these days?
> I find it a little odd that the assumption is that single family homes are somehow always superior.

“Superior” is a value judgement. I think “preferred” is closer to the mark. People like single-family homes and they go to great lengths to buy them and deal with the externalities of living in them (commuting, maintenance). As the externalities lessened (broader acceptance of working remotely), SFH became more valuable in the last two years.

> It’s not true in New York.

There are great swathes of lower-density housing in New York and its surrounding region. NYC is an outlier on account of its geography and place in the economy.

> Perhaps we can engage with the material without insulting the people behind it. It’s not exactly a compelling argument.

I think it was an appropriate way to engage with an article that takes “people would rather live in mixed-density neighborhoods than single family homes” as its premise. The revealed preference of the entire post-WW2 era in North America is mostly the opposite of this assertion. In general, as society has gotten richer more people have looked to own single family homes.

Oh wow, I was looking for your search engine a few months back, but couldn't recall the name, and my searching turned up nothing, even here on HN somehow.

I just came across the open-sourcing blog post. Thank you for doing this. Search is something I'm quite interested in. Is there a public mailing list somewhere to discuss marginalia-related stuff? I'll probably look into contributing at a later point (I've also always wondered how good sqlite+webtorrent would do fare a search engine, for instance -- not saying I'll make a PR for that, but I'd be curious to investigate stuff like that).
Burry was right though? His prediction was that we were in an easy-money fueled asset bubble and we are indeed like 20% down off ATH in the total market, more in tech.

The prediction is based on really simple macro too. Nothing is certain except death and timing a bubble pop/price correction is notoriously hard, especially when it’s based on discrete decisions by the Fed to raise interest rates/stop expanding the balance sheet. But it’s been clear for quite some time that the Fed would have to stop that eventually as stopping inflation became more important than stimulating the economy.

I’d much sooner call the people who thought the loose monetary and fiscal policy of the 2010s (and especially during COVID) was a permanent fixture the fools.
It is not "solved" at all. std::bitset has terrible properties and an awful interface.

1. No dynamic resize, have to know size at compile time or allocate based on max expectations. And yes, std::vector<bool> sucks too.

2. Despite being only statically sized, several classes of bugs are not prevented at compile-time. For example:

std::bitset<4> fail1{"10001"}; // This produces a value of 0b1000, no warnings or exceptions thrown

std::bitset<10> fail2;
fail2.set(11); // Exception at runtime. Why is this not a static_assert?

3. Size is implementation defined. std::bitset<1> can use up to 8 bytes depending on compiler/platform.

4. Debug performance is 20x slower than Release. In many cases you are going from what would be a single assembly instruction to multiple function calls.

5. Limited options for accessing underlying storage efficiently (for serialization, etc). to_ullong() will work up to 64 bits, but beyond that it will throw exceptions.

6. Uses exceptions. This is still a deal breaker for many.

7. Cannot toggle a range of bits at once. It's either one or all.
FT: BoE Should Continue Pension QE Indefinitely (Paywall)
Article can be accessed by googling "UK watchdogs hold crisis talks to avert gilts cliff-edge" and clicking through.

Relevant Quote:

> “But unless something changes on the fiscal policy side the BoE will have to stay in the market longer. The market needs to see how they are going to get a decline in debt to GDP over the medium term. Either the policies from the budget have to go or they are going to need massive spending cuts.

One option might be for the BoE to formalise its gilt-buying operation into a permanent facility that could be triggered in similar circumstances, without the need for emergency intervention or the backstop of taxpayer funds, a former policymaker said."

We have only just ended QE for the banks and now we're about to start again for the pensions. Are we just going to have a never ending QE roundabout where when one part of the financial industry starts failing the central banks bail them out causing another part of the system to start failing and launching QE for that, ad nauseam? Is this the financial "system" now?
