Very cool! But when trying stuff like this I'm always reminded how flat things look at scale, hah. Like my bike ride to work the other day: https://cubetrek.com/view/8197 200m of elevation from kilometer 25 to kilometer 31, but hard to grasp how steep some of those hills are, haha.

But for hiking mountainsides, or where I specifically bike up steep hills it looks really great https://cubetrek.com/view/8203
The EU and any political organisation need to stay away from our social networks.
Of course, but it doesn't seem that any currently available text editor has this. Even the one mentioned in the Stack Overflow post is now gone, it seems.

Still, this looks amazing - thank you for implementing it. Would love to see this formatting UI used in more apps going forward.
> Ultra cheap energy storage would have fixed the issue, but nothing was viable at the time.

For making nuclear viable, "ultra cheap" here would have to be a negative price.

The similarity of the problems with renewables is only that they benefit from storage. Without any similarity on the economics.
This is great. I like how I did not have to sign up for separate account to use this. Instead it just Took me to discord channel and I got started right away.
An index fund is a group of stocks. You buy them all together. That means that you're buying everything regardless if everything is worth buying. If tons of money gets put into the index funds, all the prices rise. This could mean that there are mispricings in the market that could eventually hurt the buyers of index funds.

Index funds are still regarded the best choice for a long term passive investor because of the amount of diversification.
Watching the war in Ukraine, it seems like distributed local generation should be a significant part of the mix for national security reasons.
Batman?
The company's value is determined each funding round, based on how much investors are willing to pay. Whether you consider that accurate or not, the company provides some liquidity through tender offers. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/spacex-employees-offer-sell-s...

There's also secondary markets, where people are willing to pay a premium for any shares they can get their hands on. That's not in the company's best interest, though, and so it is discouraged.

I believe Elon needs SpaceX to be incredibly profitable in order to fund his Mars ambitions. I think his point is that the company's finances are a means rather than an end?

I'm not bragging about paternity leave, I was responding to the parent post's claim that I sacrificed quality family time and would regret it. The opposite is true; my time spent working there has had a compounding effect on my finances and career opportunities. I've had the luxury of working on my own terms for many years, on meaningful projects intrinsically worth my time. My memories of working at SpaceX grow fonder with age.
It's a tool of measurement in the same manner in which an environmental simulation is. A reproduction of a thing for the purpose of study is a form of measurement enhancement. This is also a tool in the same manner a hammer or a computer is a tool.

Special purpose computational tool, perhaps. A computer in the modern sense of the word, absolutely not. It is neither general purpose nor is it Turing complete.

Please note that my initial reply stressed the point of a modern understanding and use of the word computer. If people wish to call this a mechanical computer it is more similar to a differential analyzer and yet still less capable. As human beings alive after the Second World War, we have far more terms with which to accurately categorize mathematical tools. Calling something more similar to an astrolabe a computer is akin to considering a hand saw and a circular saw the same thing.
If your concern is that equities are priced above fundamentals of how much the underlying businesses will return, cryptocurrency is no salve: the underlying fundamentals of cryptocurrency are zero.
One additional thought is as individuals enter the workforce they’re told to invest in a 401k. I’m assuming most people put their contributions into passive investments. Over the long run I wonder if this is significant enough to lead to a cycle where stock prices always go up.
How would things be amplified then? By number of views?
The big reveal seems to leave questions unanswered.

Okay.. so he used a well know technique… but why was his implementation of the well known technique 10x better than others that used it? Did he do something unique? How did he get the sphere so round?
And you know this risk was low because? Are you saying that you had more information on this than those agencies tracking the reentry? Otherwise you are speculating.
Well, they are well paid if you analyze their output. I worked there. I know how goal oriented they are.
Thank you for starting a great thread.

I am trying to sort this out right now. I am 71 and still work (remotely) very much part time as an advisor to a South Korean AI company. I am at the point where I don't think that I am helping them much anymore and for the last week I have been thinking hard about what to do. I also feel that I am now too old to do professional software development; I would rather just work on small personal open source projects.

I did just start a book project, and I reverted to using TeX/LaTex (I have been using Markdown on Leanpub.com for the last decade for writing). I love TeX because it allows me to write different editions of a book easily for different programming languages, nicely factoring out non-programming background material.

I have also fetched my old train set from the attic and I am considering starting to fly again: both remote control model airplanes and flying lessons (I too about 10 lessons 25 years ago).
What can a (US) layperson invest in if all marketable securities are overpriced?
Yeah, I guess it’s a bit of a chicken and egg thing but corporations brought centralized servers. Of course we’re discussing a topic on a centralized server now but PG is not making any money from it.
> To address this limitation, Liao and her colleagues extended the sequences from two pairs to three pairs—such as { [ ( ) ] }

Three pairs of brackets still seems like setting the bar very low... But even if they got great results with 10 pairs of brackets, wouldn't that be more easily explained by "understanding symmetry" rather than "understanding recursion"?
I don’t think a modern computer user would stumble upon xeyes like we probably did: desperation, from there being only a few binaries pre-installed on the system.
The 11 is a solid phone but 420$ for it used is a lot. The XR is probably just fine too if it’s cheaper
>Gab isn't an instance of Mastodon.

It was in the past. Hence why I said [using past tense]...

>Anyone remember when Gab had the biggest Mastodon instance by far...

As far as I remember the details, Gab forked Mastodon, after being effectively frozen out of the fediverse by all the other instances and indexes.

BTW --My politics are polar opposite to Gab's. But if you really believe in free speech, you shouldn't just defend it for people you agree with.
The tank in the picture strikes me as a water hammer arrestor.
I feel like I experienced a bizzaro pandemic (though I've experienced that feeling most of my life, so why should the pandemic be any different I suppose?). For instance, I never want to work from home again in my life after living in what amounted to solitary confinement for over a year. Being metaphorically chained to a desk alone in a room for 8 hours a day for the next 30ish years sounds like diet Hell to me now; being permanently chained to it for eternity would be actual hell.

The other instance is the alcohol thing - I'd say my drinking was similar to you maybe minus a couple years, but I've not drank since May 2020 now.

I've also never had any reason to take a covid test and in fact have had no respiratory illness at all for the last 3 years after a lifetime of getting a cold or two every year and the flu on occasion. (I wonder if the covid vaccines I take have any cross-protection against common cold coronaviruses?)

So who knows, maybe I'll live longer now that I don't drink and actually leave my house and walk around a bit at work, but it's weird how antithetical my experience seems to have been to the average of the pandemic.
This makes no sense. stock prices are a function of earnings. for passive indexing to fail would imply a major recession, which would be bad for all stocks
> What you may not know about Gruber, though, is that as much as he despises Arial, he dislikes Courier New even more! If Arial demands firing, then I suppose that Courier New demands… the firing squad?

The glee with which the authors express this sentiment is a strange glimpse into a poisonous part of the web that I'm glad I don't frequent. Instead of being helpful, they emphasize gatekeeping and snobbery. This and the original linked, ate not a good quality post.
Sometimes those people are customers, and they matter a lot.

They're also not wrong. The aesthetic of a typeface is a complicated thing. You have history and precedent to consider, for example.

There are objectively incorrect choices, sometimes.

The irony here is that Arial has always been the substitute because the real thing wasn't available. (i.e. Microsoft didn't want to pay to license Helvetica, whereas Apple did).

So the reaction you're having to the idea of someone substituting the original for the replacement is a bit odd, I think. Maybe you're reacting to the idea of caring. You don't have to care what others care about.

As far as I know, eBPF today is only usable as root - or, if they expanded the permissions for eBPF, can be limited to only be used by root. The same root user can install a kernel module to do everything that eBPF lets you do. Getting to root on a machine is the endgame, at least as far as that machine is concerned.

Serious question: what is so important about fonts?

I don't consider them nearly interesting enough to load them from some remote server.

Is there data to show that fonts improve anything objectively?
Basically, they assumed that because all the damage they saw wasn't a threat to the orbiter that it couldn't be a threat to the orbiter. The orbiters could survive holes in the heat shield in most places so long as they weren't too numerous, but there were some key spots that would result in a loss.

They saw hundreds of spots of damage and decided it was just a nuisance, they never considered that there could be spots that wouldn't just be a nuisance. Beancounters unwilling to acknowledge a problem until it was decisively proven--and the only proof was a loss of the orbiter.
There's a whole lot of context missing from this question. Unanswerable without it.
If HN has taught me anything it's that this is probably survivorship bias.

There are too many insightful and thoughtful points in your comment for a single upvote to repay, so I must thank you with a reply. Becoming so demoralized with the present media and political landscape, it is comforting to find that there still remain semblances of reason for which I may again briefly restore some measure of sanity. Thank you.
Perhaps (though I'm not as certain as you about sequencing) but my original claim was about junior devs, not all devs. How do fully autonomous driving AI compare to the motor vehicle accident rate of teenagers with less than 6 months experience?
While the ROI on MD has gone down quite a bit, it is not as volatile as PhD. The floor for MDs is quite a bit higher, and the path to high income is well defined (less random to achieve it if you go through the steps).

They're both very relevant. Recent CA state housing laws have snipped away at red tape, but with a lot of conditions and loopholes. So they're not going to be as impactful as they could or should be. And more broadly, in light of a couple of years of population loss to other states, California probably ought to take a hard look at its cost of living and how to drive it down.

> it's that the very water intensive crop is grown

The article is very much pot, kettle black. Agriculture is using the majority of the water and mostly for growing alfalfa to feed cows. Everything there is wrong. We don't need that many cows. If the town wants to save itself, it must start water-rationing for agriculture, and ban a lot of alfalfa growing.
DOGE has genuinely been my best investment in the last couple years. Everything else is down a bunch; I’m considerably up on my doge position.
it s in the budget of some agency supervising the data protection supervisors.

This is not where a lot of money is wasted however. If you want to look for EU waste, look into the various agencies travel grants, endless committees and conferences, overhiring and bureaucratic reports that are many times longer than the actual output. I think in these times of fiscal tightening, people shopuld be more aware of the cost of EUrocracy
I think it doesn't match because i don't think that amount of information required to find something in your home is what is zapping "energy".

As a thought experiment, imagine your house is fully organized, every sock in its draw. However there is garbage strewn all over the floor and everything is dirty. Would that be an energizing environment for you? Why not, after all, you can easily describe where everything of interest is, the house is just dirty not cluttered.
Nuclear requires 90%+ of utilization to be competitive. They reached a wall once they provide enough power that they would have to be cut down for 10% of the time.

What is completely different from solar, that is outcompeting everything with ~20% utilization, and making the alternatives more expensive on the process... What is a problem because it can't provide more than ~20% utilization.
I can’t imagine Ukraine has much of an economy left. It doesn’t really need one though because other countries are paying for the war effort
I honestly can't tell if your comment is sarcasm. Are you attributing the idea of free speech in social media to Musk? Like you think he came up with the idea?

My parents were both elementary school teachers. I was born in 1969.

My dad had a 40-year career teaching science to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Think model rockets, aquariums, microscopes, chemistry sets, rock collections, and all the wide-eyed kids being exposed to that (myself included).

We'd play a card game called Space Race, and I had a really cool model of the spaceship from Space: 1999. It was all quite wonderful. My dad would bring home copies of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics from the school library at lunch (yes, we walked/rode our bikes to and from school and went home for lunch back then).

The chemistry sets were insanely cool and dangerous at the same time, and my dad would bring home vials of poorly-labeled powders for me to experiment with. I made gunpowder. I blew fuses in the basement by shorting a cobalt chloride-soaked cork in an electrical outlet (I don't know why I did that). Phenolphthalein came with my kit, as did an alcohol burner. At least half the stuff was carcinogenic. Needless to say, gloves and safety glasses were not in use in the basement :)

I was exposed to that at home, and I wanted nothing more than to be a chemistry professor from a very young age when I learned about the degrees and higher education.

So I earned an M.A. in geology and a Ph.D. in chemistry and was briefly a professor. The research years in academia leading up to that point were certainly the highlight of my working years. I published. I worked for and with brilliant people. I played with high explosives (Master's work) like HMX, RDX, and TNT. I had access to great facilities and instrumentation. I worked on a Cray Y-MP and every system that came along.

Anyway, just a walk down memory lane and a nod to the title of the post/article. I certainly had a predilection for science, but being thrown into it certainly pushed me in that direction.

Thanks dad (and mom, who tolerated this)!
No one said anything about poor people being good. That’s almost never an argument.
The won’t even pay for any damages. They would never allow one of these to reenter over US airspace or other large, powerful countries. But if it falls in the middle of some small country, tough luck getting paid for damages.
The higher index funds gets as a % of market the more money (smart) active investing will earn you.

So not only is there a balancing point, but (in theory) it should also be self balancing as the rewards increase as the balance gets more out of wack.
That's why they are introducing their own federated server to keep their communications under their own corner of the internet instead of your social network.

Could someone with more knowledge than myself help explain what the practical applications of this are?
Mastadon provides a way for servers to have an “about” page, which often has more details about who runs the server. In some cases they prefer to be pseudonymous, but in some it’s possible to attach the instance to a human.
Ask HN: Now that ZLibrary’s gone, where do you download books?
This is what the article is saying. As long as everyone else keeps doing that, it will be a good idea for me to do it too. But when fashion changes and it is hip and cool to do something else, it will be much harder to get out of the top 500 companies because nowhere near as many people will be buying.
This is the term I was looking for, thank you.
One is a pull-based system (official press releases, web pages), the other is a push-based announcement system. They can communicate the same messages but delivery is quite different.
Show HN: Feep! search, an independent search engine for programmers
Hi HN! This started late last year as an afternoon project to play around with ElasticSearch, and then I kept thinking of new features I wanted to add. I still have a lot of things I want to build, but now seemed like a good time to put it out there: even if the results aren’t nearly the quality I’d like, I’ve still found it useful and I want to show it off!

I’ve been working on it since September 2021, but only in fits and starts. The entire thing runs on a computer in my living room (there’s a picture on the About page); I haven’t done any load testing so we’ll see how it holds up.
There are still edge cases here - various posters here have mentioned them.

The proper method is to type promote first - not just to unsigned but to a wider variable type - 32 to 64 bits or from 64 to 128 bits. Unsigned simply gives a single extra bit, while erasing negative semantics. Promoting to twice the size works for either addition or multiplication. The benefits are correctness and the ability to be understood at a glance.
Ok, I looked at it closer and I admit that quicksort implemented in C won't take days on an input of 2³¹ elements. It will take less than 1-2 hours, I think. Something that is a bit worse than O(n log n) or has a 20× bigger constant hidden in O(·) will take days though.

I don't see my other arguments being convincingly refuted, so they still hold.
Those agencies tracking reentry also are of the opinion that the risk to any individual is negligble: see e.g. https://twitter.com/jeff_foust/status/1587858672373403654
From the few words bloomberg deigned me fit to read, is their thesis really "this is becoming more mainstream, therefore it is correct"?
I'm guessing that's exactly what burry is doing. Let's assume that he is right, and the S&P 500 index is over valued. A big reason why it keeps staying that way is because for the past 10-20 years, there has been a lot of marketing selling these index funds. At this point, most people agree that investment for retirement generally involves putting money in an index fund and that's what people are doing. A percentage of their paycheck goes here.

So, for burry to win, he needs to inform the world of the situation. And when enough people act by stopping contributions to index funds and/or sell their positions, burry is gonna make a killing.
The term I was looking for was affine structure, as I commented to someone else. But from your link, which I can't understand entirely, I get the sense that a torsor is an even bigger generalization.
1. Mother smells tasty.
Father is not.
To give the mother at least four hours of uninterrupted sleep, she should sleep in a separate room, while father sleeps is nearby. (Received this advice from a nurse with first daughter. Worked over twenty years on all three.)
2. postpartum depression is a thing. Usually I start to keep an eye three to six month after.
3. Father testosterone can go lower. Will be back to normal six month to a year later.
4. First two months, when baby remains at the same spot where you leave it, are the best, don't miss them.
In the parent's example, "shorting" the overpriced neighborhood may never produce a return since overpriced houses can remain overpriced for a very long time (decades).

On the other side you have people in retirement drawing from their 401ks. The population imbalance probably works in the market’s favor now, but that might not always be the case.
