You get it.

While it is possible to cram PC features into a pocket-able design. And other commenters here have given examples such as the old pocket pc standard. Its not very good and didn't stick around.

The user interface and format will in large part define the kind of work you will do on a device. Pocket sized devices suck for a lot of "real work" use cases because small and limited inputs combined with small screens don't make for a pleasurable or productive work experience.

Big displays and comfortable full sized keyboards are necessity.

There has been on and off talk about dock-able pocket sized devices that can transition between being mobile and being proper PCs with the use of a dock that expands its IO options. But the software has always seemed to be lacking there. Apps on my Pixel 5a sometimes get the screen orientation wrong. How can I trust them to seamlessly switch between a mobile and desktop experience and not freak out in the process?
The open() variant reads the first 100 text characters, not 100 bytes, because open() works in “text mode” by default, so the two are not _that_ different. Your generally point is still very correct though, the memory issue is the main problem with the “suggestion” here.
What's the discovery process for these channels? The only way I've found useful discords/telegram channels is word of mouth from people I know IRL.
>Special forces dive teams are capable of the depths needed and wouldn't be detected by submarine searches.

Why would there be submarine searches? Are these pipelines patrolled 24/7 by submarines?

>Further, it would make no sense for the US to sabotage the pipeline because the LNG supply chain from the US to Europe is by boat.

I don't follow the logic here. Presumably the US's motive is to disrupt europe's gas supply from russia, so russia can't use it as a bargaining chip. I don't see how the US -> europe gas supply being LNG contradicts this.
> The optimistic scenario is that WASM becomes the single target that everyone settles on

oh hell no. I reject this in the strongest possible terms. You don't need a web browser to create a program. This is pure laziness. I am a developer. Browser based app is fine for small stuff. But nothing as large as Visual Studio Code, should ever be created as a browser app. This is just an awful idea because it results in dogshit performance, an order of magnitude worse than native solutions.
This is really cool - was too afraid to play this game as a teenager, but it's great to see it in this context!
I'm not sure I understand what value pathlib is providing here. The explanation is to avoid the context manager / multi-line.

Why though? What is saving you one line really getting? It's not really improving readability in any way.

An alternative one liner could be

contents = open("foo").read(100)

No need to import another library and use its features.

Added to which pathlib has some speed issues. Pathlib has some really neat advantages and should be favoured over most of os library file stuff, but not as a replacement for a simple open.
The main value for Eventlink is that WotC tracks the playerbase of each tournament organizer and distributes promotional materials accordingly and awards higher status to larger organizers, so tournament organizers are heavily encouraged to use Eventlink so WotC can see the numbers.

Its not even that WotC has no incentive to improve their program; its more that the people in charge there have actively made the decision to not have certain features because they've decided that the nebulous possibility of abuse is more harmful than the concrete need to have certain features in place in order to fix things. Though the last project manager quit (got fired, if the rumours I've heard are true) and I've had a very long meeting with some of the current guys and they seem very open to change.

There are definitely tournament organizers who do not care about this and will simply run on a different platform, but F2F is not one of them.
Writing an article which gets buried on a specific news day for future "see, we were honest" references seems like the choice of many.

Does that mean your servers don't run any Linux distro and that you compile your code purely with proprietary compilers? It's not about stealing someone else's job, it's about helping the state of the art grow naturally. So much stuff we all rely on every day has been built on top of previous work of someone else.
Thankyou. Makes sense!!

I don't think either of these things have anything to do with it. The reason this happens is because it's easier to execute parents than to execute children and infants. Especially when you want a child of your own and have been having trouble conceiving.

It wouldn't have happened as often if the people being executed were usually racially distinct from the executioners, such as in South America, because of the difficulty of integrating that child into the family, and the relative ease of killing children of a different race.

A non-volatile system doesn't mean nothing can restart, just that everything doesn't have to always restart.
So, that's the worst of both worlds, right? Servers are in the US but still have to be subject to Australian laws, and also, they are subject to the US law for being in that country.
> The NHS is a disaster and the reason isn't because of "privatization"

You're in luck. Current UK government believes in privatisation of public services, massive tax cuts, and funding those tax cuts by massive cuts in public spending.

They've released one mini-budget, and that was so bad they crashed the UK economy. The pound is at the lowest it's been in decades; the Bank of England is taking emergency measures to try to stabilise the economy

Almost everyone describes this as a disaster, and even traditionally right wing fiscal sources are saying we need to adequately fund public services and those need to be paid for by some kind of taxation.

There's a reason you don't hear much about purely private healthcare: where ever it's tried it fails. In England we have private provision of private services, and these serve a very narrow niche where people are either treated for minor things, or treatment is begun and then they're discharged back to the NHS when their money runs out; we also have private provision of NHS services and that fails because they can't provide the service for the money available or because they're just terrible (see countless CQC reports).
Dear HN -- please don't try and build an app to fix this, like I did, it's a mistake
I do. Every time in fact. But the spam filter refuses to “learn”.
Chestertone's fence

> In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, 'I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away.' To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: 'If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.'

Applying it more broadly, we have a tendency to reject things we don't understand. But isn't rejecting something you don't understand just plain ignorance?

So the next time someone has a opinion you disagree with, ask yourself why this person has the opinion. It is easy to say they are stupid and ignorant and that might be true but are you sure? Might there not be good reasons for their position?

If you show a willingness to understand the opposing side, people will be more open to you and your ideas and working together will go more smoothly. Your own opinions will not rest on ignorance but on well qualified arguments.
Ancient wisdom says that we have two ears and one mouth to listen more than we speak.

It's perfectly fine to have an opinion, but in my 10 years of startup/big tech experience is that those expressing these strong ideas and opinions don't tend to share the stage nor listen to others. Sometimes their ego gets in the way of always wanting to be "right" or "first". Getting rid of that is a whole different question itself.
> Further, it would make no sense for the US to sabotage the pipeline because the LNG supply chain from the US to Europe is by boat.

Can you explain your logic? If US sabotages the pipeline, wouldn't it force Europe to expedite buying more (expensive) LNG, instead of hoping that flow of Russian gas will resume?

It seems to me that both USA and Russia have incentives to see the pipe decommissioned. It could also backfire against either of them.

- USA: LNG sales soar. False flag op attributed to Russia. Both put pressure on Europe to align with US interests, despite the high economic price. More important, deprives Russia of the ability to use gas as a bargaining chip.

- Russia: False flag op attributed to USA. Perhaps avoids contractual penalty clauses for not supplying Europe with enough gas. Makes energy crisis in Europe worse so that there will be popular pressure for a Ukraine deal.

If the candidate says they don't know a topic, that is a valid response. It's not worthwhile to ask detailed questions about the topic. That's a sign of an inexperienced and/or unprepared interviewer.

They're probably both flexing. TSMC is so valuable because Apple's reserved high end high volume orders allows them to expand capacity, Apple probably also is a tester for new tech.

They'll both come to terms in some middle ground. Apple has history of such flexing to force other parties to play nice.

>Backwards compatibility isn't really about whether you can run code on _old versions_, but if you can run _old code_ on new versions.

Ah, sorry, I guess I mean forwards compabitibility then. The ability to interpret/compile code written by devs today on machines with software from years ago (or months ago in rust's case).
I was approached on LinkedIn for a similar reason. It never went farther than LinkedIn because I was sketched out
What you're describing is possible would be a pretty big shift for Twitter and would make it simultaneously less pleasant and less useful. Under the policy you propose that would comply with the new Texas law, a bot that automatically posts new state regulations as they come into effect would be banned, but human Nazis could freely advocate for ethnic cleansing.
You're looking at Oilpan, which is the C++ GC for Blink, not the one for V8.

But, the V8 one is very similar in many respects (the same team works on both), including linear allocation buffers.
What's wrong with a small ▾ icon you could tap to bring up the menu? Then tap again to hide it? Crucially, without changing what content's scrollTop with either action? I'd expect (haha) power-users to be capable of tapping on an indicator to bring up (or down) the menu...
Thanks for the link, that made for entertaining watching!

Curious that he gave that talk about parallelism in the end of 2015, and talked about how we'll engineer more systems to enable parallelism.

First question at the end was actually whether we can get this into existing languages because new languages are "notoriously hard to get accepted."

I'm currently learning Rust and now I'm wondering how the iterator map() and other "accumulation style" functions are implemented and whether there's a way to make these parallel, since the map() call treats things independently and a sum() could be done in the proposed tree style way.

Guess I have a piece of code to look up in the standard library :)
I don't believe the MRNA vaccines work as you state. The study picked people using 9 different vaccines though so presumably at least one of them is as you state.
And referring to Ukrainian territory that was stolen by Russia as "breakaway republics" is disingenuous to be polite.
I’d definitely trust Amazon when it comes to this. They have no reasons to be disingenuous or deceitful.
Nice! Passing it on a small project I work on I learnt 2 things already: `Path.read_text()` and `with suppress(SomeException): ...`.
> It would be interesting to see what would happen if TSMC could fill the capacity with other orders.

Yeah, if numbers add up then why not. The trouble is numbers did not add up in past and in a world heading for recession it does not seem likely soon.
I am sorry that you feel threatened by open source projects. An "average" developer isn't harmed by open software, quite contrary. We all benefit from it.

Your business might want to reconsider its specialization, if all of your "hidden" work often gets built by a student in their free time, on the other side of the world, for free.
Equal temperament is better if your goal is to be able to play in any key.

> In JavaScript, primitives are assigned/passed by value and not by reference. If you assign a primitive type's value to another variable, the value is copied - not assigned a reference to the first variable (which is what happens for objects).

Bit off topic but is there actually any observable difference between primitives being value based vs being references to constants? Here's the example they give:

let num1 = 5;
let num2 = num1;
num1 = 6;
console.log({ num1, num2 }); // { num1: 6, num2: 5 }

But it's exactly the same for objects (e.g. arrays in this case):

let num1 = [5];
let num2 = num1;
num1 = [6];
console.log({ num1, num2 }); // { num1: [6], num2: [5] }

Definitely easier to think about them being value based and of course they are implemented like that but I don't think it's the only possibly interpretation.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during these negotiations. Just to see what the heck they even talk about, what information each party comes armed with, and what kinds of concessions get offered.

I mean it isn't just a "we'll lower this" I bet there's lots of juicy confidential future roadmap stuff, things like "Ok we'll help you invest in this _____ tech and machinery but you have to knock off half a cent" or who knows what!

She's proposing that the combined brain power of the community can be put to better propose.
Can it? Yes. Is it perfect? No. Is it (on average) good? YMMV.

Things to be weary of:

1. Valve took the same tradeoff Nintendo took with a Switch. As a result, driving higher res displays (4k) works until it fails, badly. The increased processor / memory strain finds lots crashing edge cases.

2. Dock / un-dock has the standard set of headaches, the most annoying which is random pieces of software fixating on hardware that no longer exists when you un-dock (resolution changes, keyboard vs. on-screen, fallback to trackpads from missing mouse, ghost ethernet connections, sound headaches). This is endemic on the games side; random game + its proton shim + SteamOS doesn't like inputs changing. You will occasionally need a full reboot to fix issues.

3. It's a Linux. Torvalds is right then Valve is the best hope of "Linux on the Desktop" but the current frankensystem isn't there yet, and using any ports (or bluetooth) will expose you to a lack of friendliness not found on consoles or even (eww) Windows.
TSMC charging 6% more for the 3nm process seems reasonable. Article notes Apple accounts for 25% of their revenue and says this gives them leverage over TSMC but aren't they the only 3nm player in town?
If point 1 is true then why is 0.1 + 0.2 = 30000000000000004? Is that not close enough to zero?

Edit: It seems I’m conflating “precision” with “accuracy”, which is a separate concept in math.
I don't think this is useful to be opinionated, as long as you are able to debate in good faith. Here i mean asking genuine questions, trying not to strawman much opposite views but still be able to reformulate them for yourself, and follow good debate etiquette.

… and for washing machines the efficiency rating is apparently based on an amount of washing that is a fixed proportion of the machine's nominal capacity, which is supposedly why smaller washing machines no longer exist.

(I.e. an 8 kg washing machine used at 80 % = 6,4 kg or whatever other fixed percentage is more efficient than a 5 kg machine used with 4 kg = 80 % of washing – what the test doesn't care about is that if you keep the absolute amount of washing fixed, 4 kg in an 8 kg-machine of course becomes less efficient).

Gustafson is a noob. Both his Unum I and II proposals are completely impractical, making absolutely no consideration for how hardware would implement his ideas. But by writing only about the imagined merits he managed to convince a lot of people that his ideas were great.

Unum III/Posits can work, but mainly it is just a number compression format. Working with say 64 bit Posits pretty much requires implementing arithmetic equivalent to that of 80 bit IEEE floats, and then throwing away a larger or smaller portion of the mantissa depending on the exponent. And the extra accuracy around the sweet spot of 1 still comes at the cost of lost accuracy for large and small numbers, so some workloads will suffer.
Apple has more to lose here as they've bet their future on Apple Silicons currently only manufactured at TSMC. So it is interesting to see them still trying to arm-twist TSMC - would love to see their playbook as this is something they are known to do with all their suppliers.
I have a theory that (at least) part of the reason this is seen more predominantly in vaccine recipients has to do with the original strain.

The original strain was a different beast (I saw several severe cases at the hospital early on) and did not spread particularly far. All the vaccines are based on it, even the new ones retain it.

It would be interesting to see a list of common symptoms related to menstrual cycles in original covid patients vs whatever the current/previous strain show.
What other options does Apple have? Intel doesn’t manufacture ARM chips (yet) and Samsung is 1+ process nodes behind the upcoming TSMC N3E
You have to modify num1 to see the reference change.
e.g: `num1[0] = 42`

Your code is currently only reassigning a new value to the num1 variable.
That was my thought. Can't they just threaten to sell the space to someone else?
Initially, what I meant by a critique of right-wing ideas is that the Harrison Bergeron character can be read as a Randian fantasy of a great being held back by socialist busybodies. I doubt a right-winger would much identify with the government as parodied, even if I fully concur that they have their own share of oppressive norms and that the notion of the left having the monopoly of restrictions is absurd.

The story itself is pretty light on discussing any specific norm (other than maybe gender, but I think that just wasn't on the author's radar), whether economic or social, but it does tackle the general sense of 'master' vs. 'slave' morality as described by Nietzsche, which is somewhat perpendicular to the left-right spectrum and shows up at both of its ends. Harrison is parodied as the extreme 'master' who justifies seizing power as a natural birthright deriving from his absurd set of qualities, and the government is parodied as the extreme form of 'slave' morality where nothing counts beyond the good intentions of people and any form of competence is seen as dangerous and unfair.
The otter examples highlight something you can't control using these things: the 'eats shoots and leaves' phenomenon.

The prompt was "A cute otter in a rainbow whirlpool holding shells, watercolor"

Seems like the otter should be holding shells, the way a normal human parses it.

The tool showed the otter 'in holding-shells', which are shells that hold otters apparently. Also some random shells strewn about, as the technique is sensitive to spurious detail sprouting up from single words.

Until the tool permits some kind of syntactic diagramming or so forth, we'll not be able to control for this.

Just the other day here, I saw a picture of a fork and some plastic mushrooms. The prompt was 'plastic eating mushrooms' which was ambiguous even to humans. The tool chose to illustrate the subclass of mushrooms 'eating-mushrooms' (as opposed to poison mushrooms or decorative mushrooms I suppose) made of plastic.

When we're playing around this can seem whimsical and artistic. But a graphic designer might want some semblance of control over the process.

Not sure how a solution would work.
