Selling the Twitter debt is the banks’ problem. They’ve already committed to fund debt financing off their own balance sheets (absent certain circumstances that don’t exist here).

> If COVID taught us anything, when an actual crisis hits.

To be fair, nuclear crisis is not at all like COVID. It's one of those things that you can kinda see coming on the horizon. It's increasingly unlikely that, aside from a small scale nuclear attack, nuclear war will spring up without tons of advanced warning; for example, in the forms of degenerating relations between nuclear powers, and saber-rattling. Spending money on up-keep for these drugs isn't the best use of funds, and should only be done during periods of high tension.

And yes, as a society, our preparation for a COVID-like event was weak (in the US, in no small part due to Trump's efforts to reverse Obama-era preparations).

For reference of anybody too young to remember: C++0x is what you'd have called what became C++ 11 back when the committee thought it might happen in 2009 or, worst case 2010.

The fact that their "2009" standard shipped only in 2011, after ripping out features everybody agreed were good yet never seemed finished, is why they moved to their current "train" model where there's a new C++ every three years, like it or not. The train will leave, if your feature wasn't ready well there's another train in three years.

For what it's worth, I'm writing from the UK.

A degree ('college') certainly isn't required 'for employment' here, but it's increasingly (over decades) so, or de facto so because so many applicants have a degree having spilled over from not getting the job that was more relevant to (and did require) it.
A settlement could have been a $20-25 billion payout to Twitter to exit the deal, or something similar (no, that is not precluded by the contract limiting damages to $1 billion, the settlment agreement [edited] overrides the contract). Twitter's lawyers likely would have been okay with that.
2/3 of my debt payments are a sure thing as they are fixed and inflation is also a sure thing as deflation is catastrophic so governments won't allow it and deflation is trivially easy to fix with helicopter money.

The only thing that isn't a sure thing are wages but they have over the long term gone up [0] and when they do go down it is usually only for a few years.

The last one is a risk but I think it is well worth the risk.

And Algebra ? Cause there are few subjects that help you quite so much to think in the abstract and when it becomes automatic, you see yourself toying with concept from any level without needing to define everything below to anchor them in reality.

My non-maths wife is so much more attached to these anchors it s hard for her sometimes to accept to discuss ideas from a high level by accepting for now not to explain how their parts came to be.

Calculus I imagine is useful to calculate an interest rate at the bank to avoid maybe stupid surprises ? But I wonder if advanced calculus is necessary indeed.
The economy actually needs colleges and universities, for purely practical reasons. They’ve been keeping about 15–20 million young adults out of the job market. They suppress unemployment.

If nothing else, affordable college was a holding tank for America’s youth. We kept them occupied and entertained.

This fundamentally misunderstands economics. There isn’t a fixed lump of labor that we want to save up for our favorite people.

We don’t want to warehouse adults because it’s doubly destructive. The students are out of the labor market not producing anything and the people babysitting them aren’t producing anything either. That makes us all poorer.

One day my 3d printer was working and my robo vacuum bumped into it. I realized that it wasn't a good idea to start a vacuum run if the printer was busy. Both vacuum and printer were already connected to Home Assistant, so the fix was trivial and took a couple of minutes.

I've setup my air filter to turn on whenever the air quality drops - currently watching outside particulate levels, but I'm assembling a device that will allow me to measure inside levels.

We have two portable air conditioners in the same circuit. They can often run together - but not always. They are wired to smart outlets that measure power draw. Automation will turn one of them off if they exceed the recommended power draw - before the breaker gets unhappy. They will also be turned on automatically based on internal temp sensors. So I don't have to worry about my dog.

But what's important to you will depend on your use-case.

yeah exactly. if you're cheating online at a high-level, would this not be the exact first thing you'd think about dealing with? chess.com can have all the crazy algorithms in the world to try and figure out if you're playing like a human, but if you're tabbing out every time your opponent plays a move, you're giving the game away in move 1 (or - to take a more literal approach - whatever move takes you out of your opening repertoire...)

and yeah you could argue that if you're not into web dev it's not hyper obvious that websites are able to know when you lose focus on them, but I'd argue that it is fairly obvious. there are indications that should make it clear. facebook flashing notifications in their tab title until you click on them, to take a simple example.
Prominent news organizations, such as CBS and Newsweek, have reported on the nuclear train (albeit, referring to it as "not independently verified").

If you're going to claim that it was debunked by the Director of the CIA, you're going to need to provide a link, please - ideally to a credible news organization or the CIA itself. I did a quick google and it came up with nothing, so it's very possible I'm not searching in the right way.
I think this is more of a meme than reality. In the past, C++ needed manual memory management and writing ctors over and over with myriad footguns. Now someone can contribute to a C++ codebase barely knowing what a heap or reference is and the compiler will create decent code.

I was just reading Sir Walter Scott's Waverley where he suggest that this is the main reason for a classical education as well:

> Edward would throw himself with spirit upon any classical author of which his preceptor proposed the perusal, make himself master of the style so far as to understand the story, and, if that pleased or interested him, he finished the volume. But it was in vain to attempt fixing his attention on critical distinctions of philology, upon the difference of idiom, the beauty of felicitous expression, or the artificial combinations of syntax. “I can read and understand a Latin author,” said young Edward, with the self-confidence and rash reasoning of fifteen, “and Scaliger or Bentley could not do much more.” Alas! while he was thus permitted to read only for the gratification of his amusement, he foresaw not that he was losing for ever the opportunity of acquiring habits of firm and assiduous application, of gaining the art of controlling, directing, and concentrating the powers of his mind for earnest investigation—an art far more essential than even that intimate acquaintance with classical learning which is the primary object of study.

But I think the above poster has a decent point, in that there are many places where you can train your brain to focus that will also provide you with skills that are more useful for most people. For instance, I'd say statistics, combinatorics, and probability will be more useful to most people.

Of course, if you're in a field where you need to learn calculus, then you need to learn calculus, just like if you're in a field that needs differential equations or topology, you need to learn that. But that's a small segment of the population. I've studied calculus for fun (and differential equations as well), and enjoy it, but have never once found myself running into a use for it in the real world.
This is completely false. They just did a die shrink to make the CPU/GPU cheaper.

There are better ways to exercise your brain that will be many more times better than Calculus.

Maybe. And there are probably better ways to exercise your brain than memorizing cities, mountains, seas and rivers in countries you're never going to visit.

But that doesn't make any of that useless. All that knowledge, calculus included, makes you know how the worls is structured, wether you're going to pull the levers yourself or not.

You can't decide you're not interested in something if you have no idea how that something looks, even superficially.
I started programming with C and C++ in the 90s and I absolutely loved it. Then big projects with multithreading started to blow up because it became to complex to manage. 2010 I started with Python and absolutely fell in love. Since then I've been using it and never regretted it, until I had to upgrade servers and with it migrate from 2.7 to 3.8, now again to 3.10. There are issues with these migrations which aren't negletible if you're running over 50 different servers, doing different things, where suddenly for no reason at all a function parameter gets removed from some asyncio function, or all the virtualenvs are no longer usable because they were set up with 3.8, which got replaced by 3.10. This makes upgrading an OS very painful as it requires many weeks of preparation, which is something you first need to become aware if. I now have tooling which monitors every running Python process and prints out which modules are used an other things, because there was so much to look after. Basically each Python script has to register it's execution at a central server, but because it can be down, they have to use a local caching proxy server for this.

Then again, two weeks ago I started learning Rust and I'm absolutely blown away. I'm completely absorbed by it. I'm now thinking of migrating some of the Python projects to Rust so that I can have a single executable which I can then copy around without having to care about virtual environments. I mean, I loved C and C++ for its precision, and love Python for it's liveliness (I use `reload` a lot so all the projects are living things which support hot reloading), but Rust seems to hit the sweet spot between C++ and Python. Between performance and little dependencies due to the lack of an interpreter, and a somewhat easy to use threading and async / await with Tokio, with all the safety guarantees Rust offers. I'm currently in heaven for this and I hope it lasts.
It's about the pressure vessel's weight. That goes up with the square of the linear dimension while the quantity of fuel goes with that cubed. I don't think finding space to fit it is the problem. In the case of normal fuel, there's no pressure vessel so it can be much lighter.

In JS functions are objects, so this isn't that weird for JS. (For easy example, JQuery alone used this a lot with `$('selector')` and `$.ajax(…)` and all sorts of other things.)

Using the government’s numbers, that’s $1500 per terminal.

Using the space reporter’s numbers for the SpaceX “donation,” that’s about $2700 per terminal.

The thing is, it's only half the population now. Once you set the precedent, it won't be half the population any more. You can also just slowly ratchet up the pressure, cutting off the cheating over time.
True. But there has been an uptick of stuff here on HN (and maybe in general, but I don't read random blogs much) of articles with dumb, often irrelevant twitter-like reaction gifs splattered throughout.

It’s definitely evidence just not very strong evidence on it’s own. Combined with a history of cheating and a few other tells and things look rather damming.
Con-noisseurship.
I hope you revise your policy of keeping all known instances of cheating amongst titled players on chess.com private. Further, as part of this report also reveal who the other professional players who confessed to cheating are.

I attribute part of the reason why this scandal has reached as far as it has is that Niemann was able to retain his reputation and enter professional OTB tournaments up until the Sinquefield Cup.

Nobody knew about any of this until it was alluded to vaguely, and then implicitly after Magnus was defeated OTB

That’s a very weird take on this. So what should the government do in your opinion? Launch some nukes preemptively just so people could say “oh, at least we didn’t waste those anti-radiation medicines! we caused nuclear conflict, but who cares, drugs didn’t expire”?

Considering that the adversary is shifting their strategic bombers, sent their biggest sub with nuclear torpedoes into the sea, and the nuclear train is on the move towards Ukraine, this sounds like a good idea, no?

White House launches last ditch effort to dissuade OPEC from cutting production
I had exactly this.

We run a Saas and someone wrote an email saying that our server was down, and when we'd expect it to be up. Not having had a notification, I double checked from a couple of geographic locations that our application was indeed up and responding.

After a bit of investigation, it turns out that they have to whitelist every unique address with their corporate IT. And had only whitelisted our primary client-app URL (talks to a couple of different API endpoints), hence the strange error message.

It's been a long time since I've worked somewhere with whitelisting.

The ip command has a built-in help system you can get started with "ip help", but it tends to throw a lot of fugly BNF at you and is pretty light on detail.

The ip manpage is much better. It is broken up into sections which is a bummer for searching but does make it a little less daunting for reading.

The nice thing about it is that since it has been around for many years now you can google search most any question and find the answer. All in all the ip command is fairly straightforward and orthogonal which is nice.

Some starting commands

"ip addr show" lists interfaces and their stats. It's harder to read than ifconfig -a but gives you the same information in a similar format.

"ip route show" replaces netstat -rn to show the routing table but is also not as well formatted as the old command.

"ip neigh show" replaces arp -a and is about the same level of legibility.

"ip route add ..." replaces "route ..." command and is about the same to use.

So basically it combines a bunch of commands (including ifconfig) into one and gives them all a unified interface.
