Macs have a bunch of weird quirks where simple things simply do not work. I got a new mbp for work recently, second to my main windows gaming machine with 34" ultra wide 1440p monitor.

And I've basically installed chrome, vscode, and a whole bunch of little packages to make basic hardware operate normally. There's an app to allow the track pad and mouse wheel scroll directions to be set differently. There's another to allow the mouse side buttons to work. It's a basic mouse. These are settings and compatibility issues that do not need to exist.

But the most annoying is that the monitor is a bit blurry on the M1. I use vscode for a few mins before I realise there's a fuzziness to it. And apparently this is a known issue, because macs only scale properly for 4k resolutions. So there's another app to make it think its 4k or something. Helps a bit but not that well, and it's a trial.
It's maddening. How the hell is anyone supposed to know that Apple has just decided that they won't be compatible with an entire category of bloody monitors, of all things.
They actually buy the location of the water source like springs or rivers and is becoming a problem for locals and tourists since they can't enjoy the natural resource anymore once they fence it and put guards around it.
Because for a layperson, an actual 3D map is much easier (and prettier) to read than a topo line map.
> But there isn’t a way to edit the hyperlink itself quickly?

Correct. For that you need to use Formatting pallet (also in video). I did initially build it so clicking link would open a pallet with option to follow link or edit link (Pages.app) does that. But in the end felt better to make following link fast and add/edit links slower.

Up/Down could work, but I think it would break text editing movement/consistency more than I would want. For example if you were down arrowing to navigate you document and then randomly hit a link it would be frustrating to see link editor instead of keep moving down.
"You thought that an information transfer protocol would solve social problems?"

I recognize that this is just a comic strip, but this is a pretty reductionist point. The idea that giving people access to more knowledge about the world and about other perspectives would be a big help in addressing social problems isn't crazy.

A major problem, IMO, is that the feeds we use to navigate this sea of information became optimized for engagement (ie: emotional reactions), and so are disproportionally rewarding sensationalist content over content that actually promotes understanding of other perspectives.
Across the border: Ukraine completely stopped alcohol sales for the first couple of months (approx) of the war. Bars* and restaurants were closed, markets would not sell alcohol to anyone.

* there was a single bar open in Kyiv - where the foreign journalists hung out.
Or you can return an unsigned int which is the highest valid index+1.

['a','b','c'].indexof('b') == 1 // found - return index
['a','b','c'].indexof('w') == 3 // not found - return size of array
That's a ludicrous statement.

Putin clearly stated he has no such intentions and even if he had the poor performance of his armed forces will make him think twice before attacking NATO countries.

After the Cold War the U.S. searched the Soviet archives for evidence of plans to attack NATO, but all these turned up nothing. The Soviet Union never had the intention to attack Western Europe and all their posturing was merely to make us believe they were stronger than they actually were.

Yes, they'd won the Second World War, but only at enormous human cost. For every German soldier killed at least 5 Soviet soldiers lost their lives.
My ~6 year old MacBook Pro (13" late 2016 model (with touchbar), purchased new in 2017) is no longer "supported" (no Ventura). As far as I can tell, linux does not support WiFi or audio on it, so it's pretty much a piece of trash as far as being a laptop once apps stop supporting macOS Monterey.
> Calling binary search and mergesort implementations "broken" does the author no service with his argument.

Very much on brand for the FAANG r/iamverysmart crowd though.
Finland lost the Winter War, but did give the USSR a bloody nose doing so. It then attacked the USSR the next war when another big bully did (this is the Continuation War), and withdrew from that war only when said big bully was itself flailing. Then it was compelled to accept a degree of vassalage from the USSR that the country literally gives its name to--Finlandization.

Hardly appeasement at all.
The unsaid implication of this comic is that getting rid of the internet would make society better. It would NOT. The ability to have rapid peer to peer communication with anyone on the planet is a good thing. BLM, LGBT rights, disability rights are causes that have thrived thanks to the Internet. The Internet did not cause fascism and any suggestion that it does ignored all of the 20th century.
I'm pretty agnostic to the terminology
What is the rate of flushing in the line to an apartment building compared to a line to some novelty within the apartment, I.e. an ice maker? How much more total time in contact with with a surface (that may be semi-porous, etc) will the water in that ice have had? If there were some kind of bacteria problem, where might it multiply without getting quickly washed away?

I live in a developed country so the water from the source is not the problem, pretty much all risks are from defects in private infrastructure and time the water may spend in that infrastructure.
Do you even know what social problems are?

Usually it refers to criminality, drug use (including opioid epidemics), violence, poverty and so on. How you managed to turn it into conservatives are victim here point is mystery.
Anyone with MSFS, how does its terrain compare? Both are based on conceptually similar tech?
Yes, as usual, our pop science writer with a dim understanding of the issue quotes critics of the Chomskyan paradigm (the study aims to falsify Chomsky’s suspicion that a symbolic operation called “merge” gives humans a unique capacity for deep recursion) and for balance quotes other critics of the Chomskyan paradigm - and never do we hear from the syntacticians (who study recursive grammatical structure as a career).

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be super cool to _also_ include a topographical map feature for those who wanted/needed it, but I don't expect most people would be able to use it in lieu of a simple, visual 3D view.
My 2019 RAV4 has it, but (a) it hunts pretty significantly, (b) requires keeping a hand with reasonable pressure in a particular place on the wheel, (c) has issues driving into the sun (east/morning, west/evening). It also must be relying on the right-side line (N America) as it likes every exit on the freeway and wants to take a closer look. Maybe it's better now, but something that doesn't make me look like I'm under the influence would be helpful :-).

Yeah, 90s tech optimism was more Gen X. It's probably conflating this time with the early 2010's (see "Arab Spring") optimism towards self-liberation via social media driven uprising?
> They are, often but “the left” is not one organized group of people.
This is actually a fundamental problem with discourse that I don’t know how to solve. There is a reasonable moderate left that struggles with these kind of issues, and its pretty large. Most maybe even!

I actually completely agree with this.

> Why is it you’re acting like there’s only one “left voice”? There will always be communists and SJW’s free speech doesn’t work if you act like the extreme voices are the mainstream or only voices of value.

Because increasingly they look more and more aligned. And regardless if personal beliefs, the non-extremist still vote on the same lines as the extremists. That’s why we’re coming up on a recession now.
This guy is smart. Many people profit from cold (and hot) war.

"Whether you like it or not, America and Europe have a strategic interest in fueling the Ukraine conflict for reputation-building purposes (in addition to any ideological motives). Frankly, this is why I think the US ought to escalate support for Ukraine."
If some other ownership group came in and chopped 50% the exact same way…there would be less controversy. It might still make the news because it’s Twitter, much as other well known tech companies make the news with their layoffs…but the drama is because it’s Musk.
This is a very pleasant 3d space to navigate on mobile. I was intuitively able to pan, zoom, rotate about the vertical axis as well as tilt. Put two fingers on the screen and move them vertically to tilt, move them tangent to the original contact center point of the place between two fingers to rotate, pinch them to zoom.

Apple Reportedly Has 3k People Working on Its Upcoming Headset
Why on earth would you like Elon Musk? He's just selfish and only looks out for himself and himself only. I fail to understand why you or anybody would like someone such as this.
While I do agree generally that we're still experimenting with the guardrails around eBPF, it seems like the more fundamental problem of the "ease of privilege escalation" is what we should be focused on?

But I can see how eBPF itself might be considered too powerful to wait for that to be solved.

I'm honestly more worried about Linux desktop/small startups that can't afford expensive commercial guidance and are likely to not understand/care about the implications of eBPF until its too late.
Unfortunately, in the USA that's true across PhDs and MDs. It requires about 10-15 years post high school to make more than a living wage.

At least for everyone I know, they all ended up with comfortable salaries after finishing their PhDs. Most people spend our best years spending the majority of our time working, and at least for me, scientific research makes it not feel like work. Not everything is about money and a professor can live well in many places on a $90K salary, speaking from past experience.

The biggest cost is probably the impact it has on trying to have a family since one doesn't typically have much salary or time until around age 35 with the typical trajectory.
You can host your own Git repository or Git commit on multiple Git repositories. When I started with Git, I just self-hosted. I only went to Bitbucket for search and the web interface.
It was forgotten because the people receiving the message do not understand. They don't have a solid mental model that they can use to calculate cause and effect. They are unable to gauge severity or risk.

They might not even be able to differentiate from risks and deliverables. Tasks falling off any list shows that the relative importance of the task is not known, only recency is.
Yes, if you want a solution to a related problem then the implementation will need a better midpoint calculation.

However, the linked-to binary search starts from 0:

1: public static int binarySearch(int[] a, int key) {
2: int low = 0;
3: int high = a.length - 1;

and the promoted fix is:

6: int mid = low + ((high - low) / 2);

The aforementioned Wikipedia binary sort also takes a length, rather than start/end:

function binary_search(A, n, T) is
L := 0
R := n − 1
This blog post predates r/iamverysmart. There was a way of talking and discourse in 2006 that this is very much as example of. One has to take things from the time they were written.

That sounds pretty serious. Was there any official investigation or just ambiguous pictures posted on social media?
Congrats on this! I'm told it's one of the most difficult instruments to learn. While I also took lessons over the pandemic and play every day I am not that far yet, as I just wanted to be able to play a few Bach preludes without requiring the trappings of civilization, and so have what I call "campfire Bach" in my rep. These are the true original pieces (some transposed for the guitar arrangement), but other musicians typically say, "I'm used to hearing that piece played by people at a much higher level." :) I will likely never be invited to perform, but in the woods around a bonfire among friends with heads full of fungi under the stars, that's how I wanted to appreciate the beauty of his work.

While I can't play this guy's yet, my winter project is to take a shot at one of Alan Mearns' new arrangements. (https://www.alanmearns.com/) Highly recommend, and godspeed!
Nobody is pretending that today's wind farms are the result of someone gluing their hand to a road in June 2022 (the fact that you are framing the discussion as if it is the case is not a good start).
But it is incorrect to say that it's obvious wind farms would have happened without people doing similar things in their time.
Maybe you are too young, but people doing similar things as people gluing their hands today existed way before 2014.

You take Hornsea, it is a good example: projects from industry in UK existed for a long time, but were unlocked only due to European Union promotion and subsidies for renewable energy, which itself would not have existed without the need for Germany to boost renewable because they decided to go out of nuclear, because of the ecologist protests in 1980-1990.
Hornsea is the result of the 2010 European Union push for 20% renewable, and would not have existed (at least not as early) otherwise, because EU funding was, obviously, a really good incentive. Before that, there were wind power industry pushing for projects in UK (such wind power industry groups exists since 1970), but they were not very often taken on board by the UK government. Also, Hornsea has deemed economically profitable because it used efficient technology created due to the push for renewable that was in general a political move due to pressure of ecologist protests.

I quit drinking nearly ten years ago. My purely anecdotal thought is that I've noticed a marked increase in consumption over the period I quit drinking, possibly escalated more thanks to the pandemic.

For me, I left the homebrew and craft beer scene after I began to think I had a problem. Now there's starting to be conversations about alcoholism in the industry, leading to some breweries having lower abv options or NAs. Frankly I think that's only the first step of what's going to need to be a long journey.
Citation needed. They are certainly in the business of selling software that is useful for those who spy on people. But where is any actual evidence that Palantir spies on anyone?

(I have no particular interest in Palantir.)
This is a great example of how good algorithms are software plus hardware. The idea that a pure mathematical idea can be naively implemented on any hardware has never truly materialized.

Yes, we are a long way from flipping switches to input machine code, but there are still hardware considerations for correctness and performance, e.g. the entire industry of deep learning running somewhat weird implementations of linear algebra to be fast on GPUs.
At first I was thinking what sort of self-destructive person would do that, and then I realized he saddled Twitter with $1B in debt payments and foisting this onto other investors, and I realized that Elon was exactly the kind of vindictive person who would do that, given that he was pretty much cornered into buying Twitter in the first place. I'm sure the boat is being put on fire and made to sink. When they declare bankruptcy and file Chapter 11 to resolve their $1B in payments then you know that's what this was all about. I can do without Twitter, so it doesn't bother me. Let the billionaires have their space-age pissing contests.
That's a five year-olds uninformed take because you assume it could land anywhere on earth, hence 71% water....

Orbital mechanics does not work that way (except for a polar orbit). It's covering a particular band of the surface that it could land on if uncontrolled.
No but perhaps the negative externalities of water overextraction should start to get priced in.

Thanks for the explanation! Could this be used for holograms for less money like hobos? What are some other applications? Better laser cutters?
Not surprising. Crows around here are always making a Racket.
The authors of these comments have never used it. Their understanding of the issue comes from having seen a tweet where someone coaxed CoPilot into almost-reproducing a piece of code that thousands of people have copy and pasted into their GitHub repos over the years, such as the quake square root code or that matrix multiplication code.

They also usually have a Luddite axe to grind.

If they succeed in getting CoPilot outlawed (obviously they won’t), then I will rent $50 worth of GPU time and train my own, like some kind of cyberpunk outlaw.
Coming from macOS, there’s a certain cohesiveness that one comes to expect that is often absent with Linux, with conventions being mere suggestions and things generally being all over the place. The BSDs aren’t perfect but certainly much better in this regard.

It’s unrealistic but a Linux distro that forked as many packages as possible to make them follow conventions and be proper desktop citizens would be interesting.
Even if the data type is unsigned it suffices as long as the R - L term is signed (so the division by 2 is an arithmetic shift, not a logical shift).
They almost assuredly do not have adhd. Please folks, stop pushing this crap. Exercise and diet all require expenditure of executive function you don't have. Barkley explains it best. Yes, physical activity and diet improve your executive function like properly inflating your tires improve your gas mileage. At the end of the day you have a physiological disorder that needs a coordinated treatment of both stimulants and cognitive behavioral therapy along with compassionate people surrounding you. Start with your GP and if you hear the "muh, you don't need drugs" "just get more discipline" bullshit, find another gp and make sure they help you get a referral to an adhd expert who knows what executive function disorder means.

Does anyone know why the bitshift method works?

Is it that low and high are both floating point, so you're not constrained by int precision and so you don't get an overflow error. The article makes it sound like sign switching is the issue, but this is just a general overflow problem, right?
Let's not make generalizations about a country of 1b+ people based on one aspect of their space program. You could easily draw an equally unflattering image of the US or any other nation if you're willing to extrapolate from a single datapoint like that.

Source: trust me bro

I’m on the opposite end of this with the same source. Not assuming that since we lived through ‘08 that we’ve “seen it all”.
Mergesort and binary search have a contract which defines:

- Which inputs are valid.

- For a valid input, what the constraints on the return value are.

You'd have a point if the implementations had as an input constraint: "array must be less than 2^30". But they didn't.

Otherwise, nothing is broken unless it never returns the right answer. Take:

fn add(x: u32, y:u32) -> u32 {
return 1;
}

This implementation works perfectly for numbers that add to 1. It just loses generality outside of that.

fn add(x: u32, y: u32) -> u32 {
return (x + y) - (x >> 10) - (y >> 10);
}

This implementation works for x < 2^10 and y < 2^10. Arguably this implementation is much worse than the previous one because it fails unexpectedly. At least the previous implementation would be much more obviously broken.

But these are both broken because they don't fulfill the (implicit) contract for add. You can't just say "well, it's implied that my add function only takes inputs that add to 1" unless you actually write that somewhere and make it clear.
I despite clickbait as much as the next HN commenter, but I thought this article rather substantive. From rent statistics to observations on unemployment to investor housing purchases to speculation on the high-price high-interest rate market behavior, I learned quite a bit.

> Will the economy stare down the abyss to the end of modern civilization like it did in 2008?

That seems a bit melodramatic to me. Did we "stare down the abyss to the end of modern civilization" during the worst, early, unvaccinated days of COVID-19, amidst George Floyd-inspired protests? Did anyone think 2008 was some kind of "end of days" scenario for civilization, instead of just desserts being served up to unwise overleveraged homeowners and investors? I feel like it was always limited to the economic domain, but I was pretty young at the time, so maybe I missed the worst of it.

The housing and rental markets are absolutely insane at the moment, in a way they've never been before in our country. My old boomer relatives made a killing over the last few years in house price gains. My young friends and family in their 20s are struggling to pay rent, much less afford (and find) their first home. I think it's interesting to look into why the markets are so insane, and if the bubble could burst soon.
