Surely there are ways to exercise one's brain that also happen to be useful in everyday life.

It's hard to pick something that everyone would find useful and engaging, so I understand why schools just pick an arbitrary subject and stick with it.

It would be nice if they were honest about it. If they were, they might say something like "We could train your brains with something fun like chess practice, or something useful like programming classes and statistics. But we already have calculus teachers around because some kids will become engineers or whatever, and we don't want to hire a thousand teachers for a thousand niche subjects so we'll use the teachers we already have".
In my experience, the difference comes when you have many relationships which are organized into higher order relationships (eg, subsystems).

English is linear in a way diagrams are not.
Oh, I almost forgot it... and Star wars toke also "more than inspiration" from the french comic Valerian. The designs from the imperial probe droid in Hoth or the Leia's bikini were taken directly from the comics with minimum changes, and without asking anybody.

This, lets call it, "cross pollination" would be much more difficult today.

Haha... yeah, I didn't intend that as a brag or badge of honor or anything—more like a badge of idiocy—but you don't play Human Install Script and a-package-upgrade-broke-my-whole-system troubleshooter for several years without learning how things fit together and getting pretty comfortable with system config a level or two below what a lot of Linux users ever dig into. Just meant I'm a little past "complete newbie" so that's not the trouble. :-)

Really good advice, thanks. I was aware it had substantial capabilities to work in this manner, but using it this way hadn't occurred to me. Gotta get over being stuck in "filesystems operate on disks or partitions on disks that are recorded in such a way that any tools and filesystem, not just a particular one, can understand and work with" mode. I mean I'm comfortable enough with files as virtual disks, but having a specific FS tools, rather than a set of general tools, transparently manage those for me, too, seems... spooky and data-lossy. Which I know it isn't, but it makes the hair on my neck stand up anyway. Maybe my "lock-in" warning sensors are tuned too sensitive.

Now to figure out how to run those commands as a user that doesn't have the ability to destroy any of the real pools... ideally without having to make a whole VM for it, or set up ZFS on a second machine, and—initial search results suggest this may be a problem, for the specific case of want unprivileged users to run zfs-create without granting them too much access—on Linux, not FreeBSD :-/

Maybe you should specify better where in Europe are you targeting? Or you have not still decided? Europe is less homogeneous that you may think (in some aspects, at least).

Having a master degree may help to get a job, especially in some countries where still is more important the title as the experience (what still shocks me). But in my experience a PhD will not help you necessarily to earn more money, or get a job faster. It may influence the kind of job you can get tough.

What title it is, is not so important. In many countries the names of the titles are very different. In some there is no EE and CS just as you know them from the US. In some companies they still insist in you presenting the grades of all your studies, and recommendation letters. Luckily this is decaying, but still present. So, sometimes it is better to opt for courses where you can get better grades, and jobs where you get better recommendation letters.

The question of where to get the master, depends: if the master is for you just "a means to get a job" make it where it is cheaper (probably Europe). If you really want to learn CS, I would stay in the US. At least where I am, the level of CS teaching in Universities is not as good as in the US (at least my limited sample of known people/universities).

Last but not least, in my experience, people graduated in the US, also when not in the best universities, are well seen.
Musk's lawyers finally got through to him, huh?
Agree, there's no one life-changing killer feature, but there's lots of small ones.

For example my thermostat goes up to 85 when I'm not at home, and I set it to a more comfortable temperature before I head home (it'll automatically get more comfortable when I arrive, but on hot days it's nice to pre-cool). You could accomplish something that works maybe 90% as well with lots of effort and a programmable thermostat, but this is more or less automatic.

My entryway light turns on automatically when I get home

I can turn off the lamp upstairs while I'm laying in bed, without having to get up.
I don't think it's because of the trademark that forking it is a losing proposition. It's because of:

- the proprietary test suite
- the SQLite team's reputation
- SQLite's reputation
(which relates to the test suite)
- the SQLite Consortium, which funds the
SQLite team
- funding

The trademark is the least of these. I don't find TFA at all compelling, and I find it distasteful, but I wouldn't impute on the author(s) that they want the SQLite trademark, especially given that they didn't even bring it up.
You seem to be shoehorned into believing that everything is just a technical problem and needs to be solved with a technical solution. You also seem to forget that so many of those USB-C implementations are so bad a lot of phones were better off on micro-B. It has also been reported on extensively, especially by your example of "other manufacturers".

So far, companies like HP, Dell, Microsoft, Xiaomi, Motorola, Google, OnePlus, Sony, Nintendo etc. have all made products with really bad implementations in cables, chargers, and devices like handhelds (gaming, phones etc.) and larger (laptops, TVs).

If you just look at the facts quoted from the coroners report, without looking at the circumstances, it sure sounds like this person was beaten to death. It does not sound like a training accident.
"column oriented database"

We all have our specialties, and that is fine. It is a common pattern that a developer gets comfortable with a particular tech stack, and then uses it for many years without seeing the need for much else. Some developers use Ruby on Rails plus Postgres for everything, others use C# and .NET and SQL Server. It's fine, if that's all you need.

Still, this is the year 2022. Cassandra, to take one example, was released in 2008. For everyone who has needed these fast-read databases, they've been much discussed for 14 years, including here on Hacker News, and on every other tech forum. At this point I think a company can simply assume that most developers will have some idea what a column database is.
You're right, that is an important caveat! I've not run into an issue, since I mostly charge at night, and rarely is my battery in perilous territory (even though it's the diminutive 13 Mini). On the few occasions where I was using the phone and needed to charge it, I just switched to using my computer, which I usually have with me.

And if I were charging at a Starbucks or something, I could use the phone while charging, just flat on the table.
That sounds awful and a big reason why I think GPUs will go the way of the dinosaur in the near future.
This is not. Apple has the opportunity to standardize all of their devices under one serial/power connector - they have neglected to do this for over a decade, and it overtly effects the user experience. Case closed, apologist anecdata will not be considered.

You can use this ext and accompanying cli tool to launch URLs in a container.

https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container

Couple that with aws-vault login link generator.

Then pipe thru fzf.

Now you have a quick script to open an aws profile in a new container. Containers don’t even need to exist and can be created on the fly.

I just craft the name like “aws-$profile”.
Your analysis seems to fit the old saying that the rich can only be eccentric. More accurately, I would say few other than the rich can be worthy of the wasted time on analysis (beyond the simple categories).

Since I believe that even the "eccentric" are unconscious rational actors, to a point, I would still like to know why people don't believe his goal is to diversify away from his holdings without ruining their value. If he sold a lot of stock his companies would be doomed, unless he can justify it with a complex expenditure with unexpected problems. Then he can ditch the unwanted investment and fail to put the money back in his one basket.
VRLA batteries are commonplace for commercial UPS units. For lithium, I’d explore LiFePO4 batteries. Not all lithium chemistries are alike and LiFePO4 are considered safe. It doesn’t have great capacity to weight ratio but it wasn’t meant for consumer electronics anyway.
Perhaps there is some police force that does this, but I'd really like to see how a "warning shot" is defined, because it's incredibly reckless and dangerous to fire a shot at anything, let alone a randomly chosen surface with people around.

The bullet doesn't just stop... and firing at someone that also has a gun is a surefire way to get them to shoot back.

Nope.

Silver reflectivity is about 95%, aluminum reflectivity is about 90%.

So the best metallic mirrors are worse than the best white paints, even if they can be better than the frequently used white paints based on titanium white (89.5% reflectivity).

Total internal reflection might be closer to 100%, but that cannot be used for the light that comes from the air on the surface of a mirror.
In some places in Europe the title is very important. I know companies, where if you do not have some degree you just do not qualify for certain positions. You can get an exception, if your boss is good, but you cannot bet on that.
I find SD to be amazing technology, but it still (mostly) sucks at producing "intelligent" images. It basically fancy math that turns noise into images (from the opposite it trained on) but still has no idea what it is producing. If you run it long enough you eventually get lucky and find a gem. I like to try "George Washington riding a Unicorn in Times Square"; I've so far never gotten anything a first year art student can draw. I wonder how long it will take before something more "AI" than "ML" will have an understanding even close to what a simple human brain can process.

In the meantime it's fun to play with it, plus I'd like to better understand the noise training process.

I think it’s one of the great untapped regions of America, and all signs are pointing towards it booming in the future.

Proximity to major markets: excellent access to NYC, Boston, Buffalo, Philadelphia markets and more

Weather: bad, but improving with global warming and minimally negatively impacted (drought resistant, no coasts to flood)

Outdoors: Adirondacks, finger lakes, tons of gorges and waterfalls and such

Education: tons of colleges (Cornell, Colgate, SUNY, Ithaca, Hamilton, Syracuse)
The problem is so much worse than that. Combining even the most fundamental features of the language (like UB and concurrency) leads to dark corners where even experts like Boehm aren't sure. The recent TR about safety-critical C++ is basically "don't use C++", which is correct, but not particularly helpful.

The reality is that the standard simply isn't a good enough reference for what the language does. If you care about that, you need to treat programming in it as an experimental endeavor where you validate that your particular combination of code + toolchain + hardware does what you want. It's nice if the standard goes along for the ride, but not something you can rely on.
I am not a moderator or anything here...but this sounds close enough to "please do my homework for me" to go over kinda poorly on HN. FWIW.
The UN lists warning shots as rules of engagement for some of their activities[1], same thing goes for the DHS[2] so there are obviously people in this world for whom warning shots are standard fare.

Regarding rules of engagement, verbal warnings are sometimes first issued before use of deadly force, for example, by the US in Iraq[3].

Avoiding Unqualified Gatekeepers
I've had a string of running across 'unqualified gatekeepers': people who have tremendous power over access to a certain resource, yet lack the knowledge to accurately discern how to grant such access. These bottlenecks are disturbing - and I pose the question to HN on what tactics you use to (i) circumvent these gatekeepers when you're attempting to gain access to a resource, as well as (ii) design organizations to prevent these from emerging.

In case its helpful, some examples of 'unqualified gatekeepers':
1. executive recruiters: a (young) recruiter at a prestigious headhunting firm recently told me how she dinged a candidate against all future consideration for a lack of 'executive presence' displayed in a 30 minute call
2. VCs in Specialty Fields: analysts with no work experience outside of VC screening complex enterprise startups
3. Admins / Chief of Staffs: Blocking access to calendars / agendas
4. Sales Teams: Account managers who zealously guard access to their customers from internal teams (e.g. product team needs feedback)
5. etc.

Worth noting that for the above roles there are dozens of people doing a great job for every one who's bad, but the bad ones are who I'm focused on.
> C offers total freedom in exchange for providing ways to shooting yourself in the foot. All of its "dangerous" features can be used correctly for some benefit.

C is pretty archaic in its feature set, so it's not surprising it doesn't have many language features that don't work well together since it doesn't really have any language features in the first place. That's not necessarily a good thing, either, but that's a different discussion.

> With C++ it feels like to me like that benefit is often lost entirely, and whats left is just incorrect code that for some reason passes by the compiler without error.

That's an odd statement to make here. Yes this is an unfortunate combination that results in memory leaks, but how is C's "everything is a memory leak" any better? 100% broken is better than 10% broken?

That said, I do wish C++ hadn't added coroutines in the first place. It feels like a weird addition to the language. Then again, I also wish Rust hadn't added them, either. They are nightmarishly complex in a non-GC'd language, and the benefits are far from clear. The "colored function" problem remains a hotly debated topic, and low-level, performance-focused languages (like C++ & Rust) feel like the very wrong place to hammer on those topics.
They are also the problems (e.g. robotaxis, ukraine-russia conflict) that nobody on earth can solve.

This approach is interesting in that it applies image-to-image diffusion modeling to autoregressively generate 3D consistent novel views, starting with even a single reference 2D image. Unlike some other approaches, a NeRF is not needed as an intermediate representation.
> Had they gone down a Gamepass style system it would've likely worked

Isn't that what they did? You got a handful of games every month when you were on their Pro subscription, and I think you kept them as long as you paid your subscription.

Just they didn't have as good of offerings, cause their library was lacking.
Nope, as explained in my other comment. It is, as you say, built on top of SQLite.
>If nobody who came from those links bought anything then the ad spenders would stop buying ads from them

Who has the ability to find out if those paid links are the reason customers bought things? Google will tell you that every single person who clicks a link and then buys something bought said thing because they clicked your link (please pay google now). But if I sold a lot of product while running web ads, that doesn't necessarily mean that every web ad purchase is something that wouldn't have existed without the web ad. You COULD spend effort figuring out how much your ads actually impacted things... but see the reply above. The point is, I think everyone involved in this equation is discouraged from actually finding out how effective the ads truly are, which can lead to inflated numbers. In fact, Google doesn't even have to report accurate numbers at all, as long as they are feasible. I don't think they are doing this obviously, but it's something to think about.

"when standardisation moves from "standardise what already exists" to "standardise things that we think would be good but don't yet exist" it enters dangerous territory."

It makes me think of posix, posix is a terrible standard. "why would they make a standard with so many weird edges and shapes?" the answer is that posix is fairly hard in the standardize what already exists department. and as such preforms a vital role in getting every one started on the same page.(personally I feel posix is a good place to start but you should not feel too bad when you need to stray from it)

My timeline.

Early 80s. Typing in BASIC programs from monthly magazines and saving them on magnetic tape (standard cassettes, short ones because you don't want to go to the end of a C90 even with fast forward).

Late 80s. Floppy disks.

Early 90s. Mostly floppy disks (eg Slackware Linux!) and some CDs but I had Internet at university since January 1st 1990 so I had Usenet and FTP there. Not at home and no portable computer.

Mid 90s. DVDs, but they were mostly to backup data, music and movies.

Then Internet at work -> CDs -> my computer.

Then Internet at home and we got out of scope for OP's question.
Great catch! As a long time resident of LA, few people make the distinction (I surely didn’t). The LAPD has its fair share of awfulness [1] but when the allegations are this bad it’s important not to paint every cop as guilty by association without evidence (and the evidence against the LASD is very strong)
