i was going to reply land could be 'fixed capital' but doing some quick wiki shows as you say, land itself may not constitute as "capital" [0]... interesting

Land itself is not included in the statistical concept of fixed capital, even though it is a fixed asset. The main reason is that land is not regarded as a product (a reproducible good). But the value of land improvements is included in the statistical concept of fixed capital, is regarded as the creation of value-added through production.

Stolen summer of 2020 and 1 month ago. I guess I got lucky with supply avoiding 2021. Yes, Geico insurance covered both of them as I had comprehensive for $21 / 6 months, with high $500 deductible (bills were $2.5k and $3k). My rates didn't go up either (truly don't know what Geico actuaries are doing here).

Yes, I could sell it, but ultimately there's no better value until EV's are cheaper in a few years. It's an $8k car with a new battery that will likely go another 120k miles at 43mpg with $5 gas prices...

Did you encounter any research on what the best shield would be? I still haven't re-shielded it.
> There's nothing in C that prevents you from doing this either

Yet these errors consistently happen in C projects of various sizes.
Yes! It's surprising that federated networks don't do moderation / antispam using tagging/voting and user-managed filters.
The only thing worse would be if you were a C++ programmer in the coal industry...
Hypothetically, the state can dissolve any city with a simple majority vote in the legislature, clearing the decks of any irritating "lead agencies" with bothersome CEQA conclusions. But realistically, the state has only ever dissolved one entity involuntarily.

Short of dissolution the state cannot simply ignore local agencies, as we see with UC vs. Berkeley.
That's just the Dashboard VIN.

The VIN is stamped all over the car. If the dashboard VIN matches the VINs all over the rest of the car, there is no reason to go zero tolerance over the wrong screws used in one location.
I used to be a night person. One day I realized there are only 24 hrs in a day. There is no "getting more hours" at night. Then I became a morning person gradually where I get most of my coding done before anyone wake up.
The thing that I don't understand is why the world has switched over to Chrome leaving Firefox behind. Here in Poland most of the tech people use Firefox as that was the alternative when IE was a bad guy and Firefox continues to be a good browser. What was the advantage of Chrome which made people exchange one monopoly for another? PNG had also hard times in IE at first, as far as I remember. So instead of fighting for good chrome, shouldn't we just fight for more diversity in browserland?

"1500 AWS accounts"

You just blew my mind. We have two accounts and it gets messy sometimes.
Your benchmark seems to lack options used. JPEG XL has two main knobs for quality and speed, as I've previously mentioned in [1], and the default effort 7 (which is, assuming that you didn't set any other options, presumably used in your benchmark) would definitely prefer compression ratio over compression speed. You will need multiple entries for JPEG XL with varying efforts for a fair compraison.

I love the NASA systems engineering handbook.

The pdf is in the public domain, I sent it to a printer, had it bound as hardcover, ribbon bookmarks, I love it.
This is not missing. For example qubesOS has very strong process isolation, spinning up seperate read-only VMs that can (optionally) be completely disposable, so can safely be used to run actively hostile code if required.

'In a way, Nu is a way of saying “what if we didn’t need tools like awk so often?” Since you’re working with structured data, as we add more support for file types, it’s less often you need to reach for “awk”, “jq”, “grep”, and the array of other tools to open and work with common file types.'

By internet standards. We're 2 or more orders of magnitude smaller than the marquee names. My guess (which I don't want to find out by experience) is that the pressure scales non-linearly, so 100x the users would mean who-knows-how-many-zeros more pressure.

HN feels mid-size in a good way. Most forums are a lot smaller, and then there are the few famous ones that are much much larger. There aren't that many in HN's order of magnitude. The mid range is a nice place to hang because although the problems are impossible, they're not utterly impossible. You can work with them around the margins.
His definition is tightly tied to digital messaging, where it's technologically trivial and cheap to undo the message-hiding, and scales badly if at all beyond that domain.
With Antarctic light/darkness, the need for lamps would vary considerably throughout the year. Probably these have been moved out of the way for the summer.
"So to be clear this is not a “UF2 problem” or a “Raspberry Pi” problem. The problem isn’t specific to UF2 files and the UF2 standard, and it’s not specific to Raspberry Pi devices. It will affect any device using a “fake” virtual volume, of which there are many. So this isn’t a Microsoft versus Apple problem, or a Raspberry Pi versus Apple problem, despite some conspiracy posts to the contrary."
Oh they do copy this information! I became victim of such a fraud because the whole website looked really legitimate to me, and I am the "tech guy" in our family. Thing is: fraudsters create good looking websites and just copy all the company information from other stores, put in a non-working telephone number and email and they are good to go. There are thousands of small businesses that sell stuff online.

One would argue that there is a Handesregistereintrag (record of commerce at the officials) that might help, but it only contain information about the seller including contact details and what the does, and not domains. And the record is not needed for small businesses.

TLDR: Germany seems to have hurdles for fraudsters, but they are easily taken by simply copying information from legit stores.
"American" is not a race.

Huh? Where I live HR isn't building anything.

The staff architecture is decided by the management and department heads according to the hiring budget they received from the bean counters.

HR just handles basic hiring and firing paperwork and organizing meetings and Interviews, that's it.
To play devils advocate, there was some point in time where the first modern humans were all alive. That would’ve been brief and may be essentially impossible to define but if you were to determine a cutoff point for the 100bn (or so) that means there was a first group.
> Using D code in Rust probably will be much more painful and I am not sure if it can be done 100% safely

You can just as easily declare D code to be extern(C) and have rust treat it as a C library.
Everyone involved wants to characterise things their own way. For example this article says that it’s the “pro-censorship” side that conflates moderation and censorship. In my experience this also happens the other way around for similar but opposing reasons but this is ignored because the author has picked “a side”.

So we get lots of local definitions of censorship and moderation depending on the flavour of views the writer wants to present. They all tend to be reasonable in context but mean everyone is talking passed one another.

Essentially everyone is trying to argue over the ground of what moderation should be so it doesn’t get lumped into the “evil” censorship. But because this is largely just opinion everyone tries to make theirs look more official and factual.
> It's just you'd prefer "certain" moods over others

Don't trivialize it as some personal preference around moods. It's much more than that.

Stuff like death threats, doxxing, child porn, harassment are not just "moods you don't like".
In a conversation about languages with this kind of C interop, how can you omit Zig?

In Washington State, there's a new law where I not only have to show ID to buy booze, I have to have my ID scanned.

So now, the government keeps track of what and how much booze I buy. Ugh.

6pm Sydney AU time (evening contention is ramping up) and Starlink looks like this:

https://imgur.com/a/Gyst24q

A few hours earlier and I was seeing regular red blips, but the service is definitely highly variable. I'm also bouncing through two Unifi AP's before I hit the uplink.

Use of 'ping' was a bit confusing, as it's obviously not ICMP. I'd hoped Animats might have popped in with some observations around how his algorithm may help (or hinder) this kind of test. : )

Someone mentioned Riverbed (Steelheads) which have lots of knobs you can turn to deal with high latency and/or non-reliable connections - around window sizes, backoff / congestion settings, SCPS, and of course Nagle (or Neural Framing, as they called it, IIRC).
> Basically stripped-down versions of Blender itself

Okay, that makes sense. The video on the linked Blender Apps page shows this really simple app where one drags models around and then drags materials onto the models to give the model that material. So something simple like that would work better in Godot. But Blender's 3D modeler is way more powerful than Godot's but has a very steep learning curve so distributing a simpler version of Blender's modeler could definitely make sense.
This is true with other european countries too but in Berlin it’s works especially well. You leave the bottles around trashbins and somebody picks them up in no time.
This works though because there are Spätis (corner stores) on every corner and everybody walks around and you can drink alcohol in public.
It would make no sense in cultures where you have to drive a car and cant drink outside.
> And it would make the avoid-harassment side happier, since they could set their filters to stronger than the default setting, and see even less harassment than they do now.

I highly doubt it.

I’m pretty sure typical harassment comes in the form of many similar messages by many different users joining a bandwagon. Moderation wouldn’t really be fast enough to stop that; indeed, Twitter’s current moderation scheme isn’t fast enough to stop it. But the current scheme is capable of penalizing people after the fact, particularly the organizer(s) of the bandwagon, and that creates some level of deterrence. An opt-out moderation scheme would be less effective as a deterrent, since the type of political influencers that tend to be involved in these things could likely easily convince their followers to opt out.

That may be a cost worth paying for the sake of free speech. But don’t expect it to make the anti-harassment side happy.

That said, it’s not like that side can only tolerate (what this post terms as) censorship. On the contrary, they seem to like Mastodon and its federated model. I do suspect that approach would not work as well at higher scale - not in a technical sense, but in terms of the ability to set and enforce norms across servers. But that’s total speculation, and I haven’t even used Mastodon myself…
You're giving the 9/11 terrorists far too much credit.
They were supported/financed by the Saudis[0] and America dropping the ball was the only reason they succeeded.

It's not so much a big victory for the terrorists as a big black eye for America and our intelligence agencies.

One of the 9/11 pilots was reported to Federal agencies multiple times[1] and the hijacking still took place.

There's a good article from early internet when China's firewall was very weak.

Even though it was easy to get around the firewall and perhaps even legal at the time, barely anyone was. People weren't using proxies to know about Tank Man when China was arguably only "moderating". People called it censorship.

I can't find the original article, maybe Wired?

[edit] Might be this one - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/03/the-con...

This is just to point out the naivety of using it's possible but it's not default is not 'censorship' when talking China. Viewing shadow banned is a ok middle on HN, the obvious hole is you have to have a login. I don't want gore on TikTok but I do want guns. It's very complex.
sounds as if we produce complexity (instead of navigating and reducing it)

There are plenty of other over-represented minorities who can share similar stories.

I'm a Korean American male who migrated to the US as a second grader. I did not know any English and my parents were nail salon workers. I was on state assisted lunch program during middle and high school. While my parents had more than $30, we were certainly in lower socioeconomic class.

However, I was fortunate to have loving parents who wanted good things for me and my brother and I was studious/lucky/smart enough to go to a southern Ivy.

You're not being very kind by simply denying the struggles of over-represented minorities.

Lossless encoding can be done with various trade-offs between speed and compression density.

At one extreme we have fjxl, see e.g. https://twitter.com/LucaVersari3/status/1485971553892323333?.... This is an extremely fast lossless jxl encoder, which is about 100 times faster than PNG encoding (libpng) and compresses about 10% better.

At the other extreme, there are the slowest settings of the reference encoder libjxl, which are 1000 times slower than libpng but compresses a lot better.

As for decode speed: this depends on whether you consider single-threaded or multi-threaded performance. In single-threaded decode performance, it is hard to beat PNG since it is basically just gunzip. PNG is inherently sequential though (unless you apply trickery at encode time to make parallel decode possible), while JXL is by design decodable in parallel. We are anticipating that in the future, the number of cores available on typical hardware will only grow, so this difference will naturally lead to JXL becoming faster to decode in practice.

The current reference software libjxl is quite optimized for the lossy case, but still has some room for improvement for the lossless case — in particular it does not have fast paths yet for the common case where the full precision of 32-bit per sample is not required.

So in conclusion, I think it is safe to say that JPEG XL beats PNG in all ways.
I always thought the original moderation method of Slashdot better; a simple slider that adjusted the thread based on the quality of conversation you desired.
No, it’s new, to comply with new stuff from nodejs.

You can likely change it with a config, but do note that importing using .js will be the new standard way of doing things and by changing it through configuration you’re chosing to not follow the new standard.

It’s a complete mess IMO. Every project uses a different way to handle modules and there’s a lot of rough edges.

It's not. It's a discussion about "the C compiler built into the Digital Mars D compiler".

Please stop with all the Zig spam.
In the second part of the "Solving Problems the Clojure Way"[0] talk, the speaker shows step-by-step transformation of the heavy imperative (book-keepish) JavaScript code to a more functional approach.

As a result of transformation, ~95% of the code is easily unit-testable and the only impure code is the call to main which basically starts all the domino falling.

Why should you combine ML and graph tech to build your fraud detection system
Sure. I am simply opposing the use "certain". The way it's written, it could mean literally anything
This is really interesting to me because my previous job had a big project, and they started writing down the documentation up front with the goal of specifying everything and getting it all reviewed and signed off. Years later everyone panicked because the documentation was still in progress and nothing had been implemented.

Perhaps the missing sauce was a good systems engineer advising the bosses? How do successful projects avoid this sort of problem? Is it common? It was really frustrating to be a contributor knowing that the whole thing was a disaster but not knowing if your ideas to make things better were useful or a waste of time, even if you could get anyone to listen.
I can't help but cheat in this game, the source is there, in well written javascript, after a while, I go, "well I will just get over this next hump and give myself a few dozen dingleberrys(or whatever resource is next in the techtree)", after all the only person I am hurting is myself... And it is a clicker game... The lowest and most insidious form of gaming.

Honestly at this point I see it as a feature.

In this video from 5 years ago at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station (at the south pole, not to be confused with the article which is from McMurdo on the coast, next to Scott base on the coast), the narrator specifically said water efficiency is a concern. They have front-loading machines.

But as she says, fuel has to be flown in, presumably it comes by ship to McMurdo.

Don't be obtuse, you can respond with questions.
Wish Postgres had an optional data type (tagged union), Does someone know an extension which implements that?
If you read the quote in context he's not only talking about financial sustainability, he's talking about the social sustainability of how Uber uses a "gig economy" model to avoid providing people who are de facto working for it with benefits, a point the Uber CEO acknowledges in the article with his proposal for gig economy companies to establish funds to provide those benefits.
That's only true if you're writing code with zero dependencies, which is rarely the case.

Elixir + Phoenix is so much better :) we have some apps running in production, some are 6 years old.
In social media, moderation of this style is practically equivalent to censorship because the visibility of the content is determined algorithmically: if the algo decides to "hide" your posts they become invisible (or much less visible) in other people's feeds. The fact that they're still visible for the die hard followers that refresh your page to see them is mostly irrelevant.

Your speech is effectively censored by the moderators because you cannot use that tool as intended, to reach audiences with the same ease other types of speech can.

It's like requiring a newspaper to "moderate" all articles by a certain author publishing them in the form of a short notice "If you are interested in the writings of Mr. Smith, who may or may have not published an article for today's issue, then please send a self-addressed enevelope to PO-Box ....".
Side note: if you want to get a ballpark for one way latency, just measure the approximate distance of the undersea cable on Google Maps (in km) and divide by 155. That will give latency (in ms) to +/-10%, excluding any additional last-mile latency (Wi-Fi etc)
I can think of a few but they all boil down to "use them as rags".
> , there's nothing good about snippy public comments.

It didn't seem snippy to me. "Why aren't you disclosing your ties" would be IMO. The message that was actually posted seemed quite diplomatic.
So, basically, you want moderation as it's described in the article. So, arguably, you mind about moderation as much as it's author, since that's their point.
Hmm. I wonder if steel cables would work well enough?

It takes a lot of time and effort to bake a cross-vendor cross-language standard.
There is another issue here which is the external pressures platforms face.

Platforms will always be judged by journalists based on their lowest common denominator of users. Journalists will purposefully turn off all filters, find the worst comments, and say X platform is all like that bad person

This behaviour is then happily used by politicians to push platform owners in certain directions, possibly with the threat of regulation.

It also might mean coordinated leaving of advertisers, killing the platform.

So while in theory this article is right, there’s external power games that really play into the free speech issue.
Probably the majority since popular frameworks like NextJS do it with SWC now.
I love the tradition of gifting fancy fruit in Japan. Individual pieces of fruit which are objectively perfect and treated with an absurd amount of care and therefore priced at a silly level, but apparently also quite delicious.
I think something along those lines (rarely used...) was also given by the C++ Committee as justification why so much of the C99 designated init feature set was left out of C++20, which is a bit of a shame. All C99 designated-init 'sub-features' complement each other nicely once you start using them. It's a great way for building 'data-centric' APIs.

For instance check out this call to create a 3D-API pipeline-state-object in C99:
