Wait so, this tag you didn't like didn't even stop you from finding the fic? It didn't clog up your search at all because it wasn't even in your search when you found the fic you were looking for? What's the problem exactly? You're approaching this with a library lens but it's not a library! It was never even intended to be a library!

Additionally, it doesn't show up when you're searching for regeneration or limbs because it's a one-off tag and therefore isn't linked to the rest of the tag network. I suppose it would be a problem if you put it in the general search, but you'd also be catching anything with limb in the title, or limb in the author's name, too. I think this is coming from a place of multiple misunderstandings of how tags work from both a technical and a cultural standpoint.

I lived with my ex-partner and her parents for a while, and the family would spend most of their time at home together. Easily 6+ hours per day during the week, and most of the weekend time.
If it was about two licenses, it wouldn't be a big deal (aside of being a pile of harmful bullshit, of course). But it's not - it's a single license with conflicting terms. A license is supposed to give the user an assurance of ability to use and/or distribute the software as long as they obey the stated rules, so if you get conflicting rules, such assurance is essentially useless.
I too am a bit surprised. I could never address a problem of color perception without cycling through the relevant HSL values.

As a designer, colour models like RGB, Lab, CMTK and hex are of instruments of application. All well and good, but if you want a colour model that is suitable for thinking about colors with, then HSL (or HSV) is the only option.

As an exercise, I get my students to define the difference between color pairs using HSL. Even high school students can do it. Try that with RGB!

What a weird decision to store dates in tags, it looks like bad design. Fully agree with the primer to data architecture, I've seen people almost getting to the point of writing DSL over tags. Madness!
Windows Phone 7 was pretty clear [1] it was a temporary platform (bootstrapped on Silverlight) while they waited for the engineering projects that were to become Windows Phone 8 finished. Microsoft helped pay to migrate some projects across that hump and there was a migration story.

That's the only "hard fork" between the versions. I know a lot of people (including respondents in neighboring comments) saw the changes between WP8 and WP10 as a big deal "soft fork", but very little actually changed other than a UI library upgrade from 1.x to 2.x. (In .NET; JS was dropped in 2.x and C/C++ developers saw some other shenanigans. But JS and C/C++ didn't exist in WP7 either so none of those developers saw all three "migrations" either.)

I hear a lot from developers that it seemed very fragmented, but working in it at the time, it seemed very "incremental" at best, mostly just upgrading library major versions and dealing with semver major breaking breaks. Sure, that's frustrating when that's not your primary development environment and also you aren't getting paid enough for it because adoption is low, but that is a very far cry from "Microsoft didn't have a good plan". They were iterating hard on it. They made some semver breaks that other library authors in other ecosystems could get away with no problem, even with equally low adoption (looking at random JS libraries here). It's easy to blame low adoption for making those semver major breaks seem more painful and "fragmented" than they actually were in practice, but sometimes it just also looks like that was an excuse to ignore the platform more than a problem for development experience reality. (As you seem to state that you skipped the platform entirely, possibly because you were looking for an excuse to skip it and latched onto the first one you saw.)

[1] Obviously not clear enough for some.
Have you tried using auditpipe?
The people decamping from New York City to Florida for tax reasons suggest otherwise.

California is already experiencing population decline as people run away from the taxes and crime.
FWIW, I've been in your boat most of my life. The only reason I kept revisiting it was because my dad was a huge fan. I really started appreciating the pace and nuance as I got into my late thirties. Nothing in these stories spell anything out to you, so you have to do the work to get in their heads. It's why spies are so fascinating.
It's really not at all. In Japan, you just buy a debit card and swipe that every time you enter or exit a station. When it gets low, you stop at a vending machine and put more cash on it. It doesn't get any simpler, and it's totally anonymous.
Hmm that’s interesting. I wonder if the two systems produce equal outcomes into adulthood.
So you're acknowledging now that the lab chimera might infect some people if it escaped, but you're saying that's okay because those people would otherwise have gotten infected with a natural variant anyways? But if the IFR for the lab chimera is higher than the IFR for natural omicron (which it was, at least in their mice), then those people are paying a higher price in mortality for the same immunity--that's the gain of function of concern.

And really, is there anything in biology that we know with sufficient confidence to risk millions of lives in exchange for no immediate practical benefit? Like I guess whoever did the 1977 flu vaccine trials also assumed that if their virus escaped, it would get outcompeted by the existing natural viruses; but we know what happened there.

Vassals are required to pay tribute financially or (more importantly) militarily. Look at Belarus for an example of what that looks like (and the kind of foot-dragging you get when the vassal is unwilling).

Japan doesn't get involved in aggressive wars, but neither does e.g. Switzerland, and no-one would call them a vassal for it. Yes that restriction is currently constitutional in Japan, but Japan is free to amend that constitution without needing US approval.
Yeah this sounds ridiculous. I work at a large asset manager which is constantly upgrading tech after being hamstrung on the budget for many many years. Everyone gets an iPad if you ask for it and a lot of folks who travel need it for making notes in conferences etc. I don’t have a traveling job but I could still get one but it is useless for almost anything beyond doodling. I generally take meetings from my desk so I don’t even use a notebook in most cases and just type it up on my laptop. I did get a separate desktop because I have dev work that requires a lot of compute power from time to time but I manage with those two devices and have never felt anything lacking.

You can have even substantial disagreements with other people in your field without negating the possibility that the bulk of your field is in directional alignment with respect to the core of the matter.

Climate change is a perfect example: 99% of people who study climate likely agree that a) the Earth is getting warmer on average, b) the warming is substantially exacerbated by human-derived emissions, and c) the medium- and long-term destabilization due to that warming has meaningful potential to have catastrophic effects any biomes, including those inhabited by humans. They likely disagree amongst themselves on a) how much warmer and over what timeline, b) how much of the warming is caused by humans, and c) what the specifics and timeline of the catastrophic effects are likely to be.

In situations like the above, attempts to paint disagreement over magnitude as disagreement over direction are misleading at best and disingenuous at worst.

There is absolutely an inverse relationship here, but it's between "post-modernism," incorrectly labeled liberalism, and education. Most students attending American/West European universities have unfortunately been indoctrinated by New Left ideology instead of being "educated."

What you call liberalism today is proof of the absolute stranglehold of the New Left and post-modernist ideology over Western intellectuals. Allan Bloom wrote about it in "The Closing of the American Mind" discussing how Frankfurt School nihilists such Herbert Marcuse and Michele Foucault and post-modernists such as Jacques Derrida burrowed into the Ivy League (later the rest of academia) beginning after WWII, fully taking off in the 60s.

New Left liberalism and post-modernism are unfortunately the bastard children of Nietzschean Nihilism. The belief that truth is relative is contrary to Enlightenment values of reason and fact based observations. Of course, post-modernists believe that Enlightenment thinkers were racists because they were white Europeans and math is racist because Europeans systematized modern math (never mind that the founding fathers of Algebra and Trigonometry were mostly Persians). Be that as it may, please spare us the lecture about how Liberals "believe in science" and conservatives are close minded.

There is nothing Liberal about mainstream American culture, as it is the product of Frankfurt School ideology (Please read Herbert Marcuse essay on A critique of Pure Tolerance)and what you call "Conservatism" is actually classical liberalism. So dear Alice, welcome Through the Looking-Glass aka America in 2022!
I'm not sure I agree on the numbers, I have a hard time seeing a nuclear power accident leading to millions of dead. That said, the sentiment rings true. If we get the right mix of incubation time, reproduction numer and CFR in a novel virus, we are catastrophically and civilization level screwed. It's unbelievable how eg nuclear fission research has ground to a halt whereas GoF research on Covid(!) in a damn BSL-3 lab can be approved after what we just went through.

I view this as dehumanizing. I would rather live and not be an American than die while being an American. I suspect most people are the same.
>Depends on what you mean by “accessibility”… my 85-year-old aunt-in-law finds her iPhone 7 running iOS 15 to be far less accessible than her old iPhone 4 that probably stopped being updatable around iOS 7.

Yes, I've heard the exact same thing from my iPhone-using elderly mother and my sister. The answer is simple: stop spending thousands on new iPhones, and get an inexpensive budget-model Android instead. They're quite simple to use. But my suggestions always fall on deaf ears.
This works wonders on all that Samsung bloat...

> You have not answered my question. You aren't getting it. Rising Entropy is just an example for illustrative purposes, entropy is simply a probabilistic phenomenon.

I thought that your question was how probability "appears" from classical mechanics and the answer is that you're putting it in - either by obligation (because you cannot describe the system perfectly) or by choice (because you decide not to do so even if you could).

Entropy arises when the classical state of the system is not identified precisely as a point in phase space and you have a volume instead corresponding to the possible physical states.

More uncertainty about the state, more volume, higher entropy. Less uncertainty about the state, less volume, lower entropy. No uncertainty about the state, no volume, zero entropy.

>> Only if we keep adding uncertainty / forgetting information as we go forward will entropy increase.

> Bro. Forgetting stuff doesn't change entropy. We already agreed that entropy is independent of knowledge.

We already agreed that the entropy depends on the description that we make of the system. By forgetting stuff or otherwise adding uncertainty you get a worse description than what you could have if you didn't - that means higher entropy. If the uncertainty doesn't increase somehow the entropy remains constant.

Entropy is a function of the volume in phase space and that volume is constant in classical -and quantum, for the matter- mechanics. If the equations describing the evolution are perfectly known the uncertainty doesn't have to increase.

It doesn't matter how much time passes, the particles cannot be _anywhere_: their possible positions in the future are determined by their possible positions in the past. But this constant volume of possible positions may get more and more spread around even though they used to be in a compact region.

See Figure 1.7 here: https://books.google.ch/books?id=DjUgfVFtY6YC&lpg=PA27&ots=a...

By not making use of that additional information - possibly because we just can't afford that level of detail - we let uncertainty grow. That's what I meant by adding uncertainty / forgetting information. The volume in phase space representing the possible states is larger. The entropy of the degraded description of the system is higher.
I'm not sure if it's because this is a particular engineering-learning crowd that is pro space or SpaceX or something else but the general lack of empathy toward a human being who has suffered is concerning when reading this thread, especially when you consider that this was in fact a very serious injury that could have been prevented with an appropriate adherence to safety protocol.

Move fast and break things was a terrible mantra but it seems to have seeped in...or perhaps was always there.
I'll be happy to use a better paradigm than text when someone comes up with one. In the meantime, all the attempts to replace programs-as-text have failed to result in any actual improvement, save for niches like e.g. StarLogo that cater to beginners.
Do any of the Intel fabbed FPGAs have a free development IDE? Last I checked, it was limited to older Altera-era FPGAs. I know the pricepoint of the Intel fab FPGAs is outside of even my work projects, but I was surprised to see how few FPGA families were supported by Quartus free edition, and was wondering if I missed something obvious?

It's a shame he doesn't mention Ada, which is static but oh so nice about it.

Right, but the problem is – as Peter Harkins mentions here – that programmers have this tendency to, once they master something hard (often pointlessly hard), rather than then making it easy they feel proud of themselves for having done it and just perpetuate the hard nonsense.

Yes, see the entire history of UNIX. I convinced someone programming was a bad choice for his major because of this stupid attitude.

I'm still reading, but I like how he takes issue with what currently passes for machine text. Some of my work covers the same problem. I should send him an e-mail.
I'm not saying that - I'm saying the job and whole situation around it is pretty awful, for everyone, outside Google. And it's a sweeping generalization. There are obviously going to be pockets where the opposite is true.

That said - I don't think Google PMs are notorious for having awful product sense. They do seem to get hired at a lot of places. And product sense is a wishy washy term. If someone tells you they have great product sense ask them why they don't have a billion dollars.
When I went to school, the kids biked to work. The bike racks were long and festooned with bikes. There were no bike paths or any special roadway consideration for them at all.

These days when I pass a school, there's a single bike rack with maybe 3 bikes in it. There's a loooong line of SUVs idling waiting to pick up their kids, with the driver (almost always mom) reading a paperback draped over the steering wheel, or on the phone.

I never figured out why they always had to have the engine on. The whole thing was enveloped in a miasma of exhaust fumes.

The modern "no bikes" is a cultural thing. Parents these days also are terrified of their kids walking to school.
I rarely take mine to the park for the reason you mentioned.... It's boring. I just tell my kids to go play outside. They're 7 and 8 and are each other's best friend. Just find something you and your kids enjoy and do that
miners will choose to exclude transactions from their blocks if the transaction fee included isn’t high enough.

the transaction fee isn’t some algorithmically determined value, it’s completely controlled by market forces (for better & worse).

there are plausible arguments for transaction fees greatly exceeding even the original coinbase amount, although ultimately what matters is the value of those fees in local currency, contrasted with the cost to mine the block containing them.
I have the same problem; I've been trying for over 25 years to find a game I vaguely remember from my childhood. It's unclear if what I'm looking for was ever formally published. To be honest as soon as I saw @textfiles tweet about this new search engine, I got irrationally excited thinking I might be able to find it here, but how do I describe this in a way anyone will understand?

I'll give it a shot. In the late 80s, my dad bought an 8088 XT clone and "somehow" got some games. We had a bunch of the popular Sierra/AGI adventure games, Hugo's House of Horrors, etc. This game was in the same vein, but way way more primitive.

It's a DOS game. I believe it would have been made between 1980 and 1988. I remember it as a text adventure, but with non-interactive full-screen graphics (e.g. appears like Sierra games, but you can't move the player, only issue text commands). I remember it as monochrome (bright white on dark black background) despite my computer supporting at least CGA. I remember the commands you type being entirely in uppercase (LOOK DOOR, PRESS BUTTON). I remember the protagonist waking up on an alien spaceship, and by far the strongest memory I remember is there being an elevator with up and down buttons you could press to go to different floors of the spaceship. I vaguely remember the game being called ALIEN (as in, I could type ALIEN to start it; so, ALIEN.COM maybe??)

I don't expect to ever figure this out, and have mostly gaslit myself about this ever existing. I actually asked /r/tipofmytongue or some similar subreddit about 10 years ago to no avail. If anyone on hacker news has any clues to help with this I would be so grateful and would buy you a beverage.

I pay my utility bills (water, gas) with cash: I just go to the convenience store at the corner of my street, hand them the bill I got in the mail, give them cash, they then stamp the card and give it back to me. This is in Japan though.
On a related note, I've found that if i decline an extensive NDA, potential clients tend to say 'do you have a simpler one you prefer, we could go with that?' - does anyone have a super-simple NDA contract they'd be ok with sharing?
> If you lived in a secluded cave and completely independently wrote Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (unlikely, I know, but it's hypothetical), you'd be violating J.K. Rowling's copyright by selling it.

This is absolutely incorrect. Independent creation is a complete defense to copyright infringement. Funny enough, Learned Hand gives a near identical example to highlight the opposite conclusion ("if by some magic a man who had never known it were to compose anew Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn, he would be an 'author,' and, if he copyrighted it, others might not copy that poem, though they might of course copy Keats's").
Hang in there another couple of years. Now my youngest is 7 I find life a lot more liberating then when they were under 6. And its fun doing "older" activities with the kids. But yeah it's hard for more than "the first few months/years"!

> when I see the child free people around me, and how they're spending their 30s

On the flip side, I wonder if you might enjoy your 70's and 80's a lot more with kids (and possibly grandkids).
For me it's just too much comes off as sensational and emotionally manipulating. My mental health improved quite a lot after I stopped all news consumption in 2015.

I just pulled up cnn.com as I think most people would agree that's a pretty mainstream/middle of the road outlet (I'm sure half will complain it's the Clinton News Network and the other half will whine that it's right of center, or whatever). I see: Trump secret documents (seven articles in a little cluster on the left third of the page), some guy got convicted of a murder from 1996, another murder, hair-straightening products linked to uterine cancer, murder, rape, murder, murder, rape, Ukraine, murder, Ukraine, flesh eating bacteria, something about Elon Musk, something else about Trump, and sleeping less than 5 hours a night is apparently not good for you.

I'm sure all of it is quite accurately reported. I would bet my life that the picture of the man convicted of the 1996 murder of Kristin Smart displayed on cnn.com really is a picture of the man who was convicted and not a picture of some other man who was not convicted of the 1996 murder.

For me it's not "fairness" or "bias" but just that I am sick of hearing about murders, Trump, Ukraine, and celebrity gossip so I no longer tune in, or go to the websites, or read anything from the news. I get much the same vibe if I pull up foxnews.com or rt.com or what have you.

I would say it's not that I don't trust large news organizations to accurately report objective facts. They seem to do this about as well as anyone could ask. It's rather that I don't trust them to inform me in any way that makes my life better or makes me a better person. I'm not sure what the term is for this, something which is true but has zero relevance in your life and also makes you depressed. To me it's just a bad bargain.

Maybe life was better when media was more local and instead of CNN I would pick up a copy of the town newspaper and read about things actually happening in my town, done by people I might actually know (or only be 1-2 degrees of separation from), stories about places I live and work on a daily basis and stories written by people who don't live very far from me. I didn't get to experience that so I can't say either way.
> The IP has already registered not long ago

> The IP comes from a known VPN provider

> The IP comes from previously flagged locations

I noticed this when registering. Residential IPs are treated differently. You don't get shadow-banned at all with plain old vanilla IPs. In-fact you can make your first post under a residential IP, and it will show up in /newest and you don't have to wait in purgatory for about 5 days for it to show up.

One other option is to use a really obscure VPN service that not many people use and has a greater chance of not being on a blacklist, but that is rare. It's also rare to get a SOCKS5 proxy that isn't flagged as suspicious in some spam database.

Then there's the shady practice of using hacked residential routers to make your posts, but who does that?
I'm sorry I have had both kids and dogs. Dogs are WAY easier and less expensive than kids. On the positive side, kids are 1000% worth it and are with you for your lifetime. There is very little comparison between the two Why are kids compared with pets? . Would anybody compare a spouse with a dog ? Such comparisons are demeaning to both sides of the equation.
