538 has been all through this. 538 expected the Senate to be close and for Republicans to win the house, which seems to be the outcome.

It's normal for the president's party to lose some ground in the midterms. Biden's approval numbers were poor which was not good for the dems... but, that's countered by Trumpism being unpopular. Republicans who were sane did pretty well, lunatics like Oz didn't. Trumpism was so toxic that it was a winning strategy for Democrats to promote the worst Republicans in their primaries.
Oh you certainly grant github some rights necessary to operate the service. Here is a relevant part:

"This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content. It also does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service"

Now, I read that to mean they can't sell my content. But apparently they can if they store it in a machine learning model to a greater or lesser accuracy!

A reasonable case but far overstated and undernuanced.

It’s true that there are plenty of ultra-wealthy people with Black Lives Matter signs on their yard and post hashtag-defund-the-police. But there are also public defenders from non-privileged backgrounds and social workers who argue the same thing and often more forcefully. Police funding reform isn’t something that was invented by white elites. It’s borrowed from activist communities. I’m sure for some it’s a way to indicate their more aesthetic opposition to the law-and-order authoritarian movements in the US today. But police reform is a broad-based movement even if it’s coming from the most educated segments of privileged and less-privileged people. (Personally, I suspect in 20 years everyone will claim to have been for it.)

We should also note that there are also zillionaires who are actively defunding the welfare state. Would the author agree this is a costly display, to declare you’re wholly self-made and spend real effort kicking away supports that many people need to survive? Or is just liberals who engage in ideological peacock feathers?

It’s been fixed since the last cost of living adjustment almost a year ago. Trailing adjustments really hurt when inflation rises this fast.
Maybe those don't count into the budget as the engineers were already there paid. Maybe they spend $1.2 million for the 3d printing and testing?

Yes. I think its an important distinction because deadweight losses represent wealth that is lost to the world, whereas the surplus question is not about creating wealth, just moving it around.

We should always strive to eliminate deadweight losses because it makes the world richer. Moving the surpluses around is not making the world richer and is just just redistribution.
Predicted or inspired... Imagine a young, going to be politician, kind of person watched it and thought "Hmm, this is not a bad idea at all!" and then climbing the political ladder lobbying for these kind of measures.
Maybe but this should be limited to application data scope.

What baffles me is that lock-screen is a system wide critical application and should in no way rely on this method.

iOS lock screen in theory shouldn't only respond to cryptographic validation from the secure enclave.
You could presumably just add a single line of JS to a markdown file that would render it as HTML.
This is the correct takeaway. It's damaging to their reputation to not admit the error and cheap out like this. I would hope they at least split the bounty between the two researchers, the one who initially raised it (but didn't complete their report?) and this one that had a fully documented chain.
Interesting, I didn't know the history there! Just remember playing with it as a kid :)
Toddlers have more robust immune systems than infants in multiple different ways. There's no evidence for your hypothesis.

Evidence with a sample size of 1: I have a pandemic toddler and a baby. Toddler was not sick once in first 18 months. Both just got RSV. Toddler was fine after a couple days. Infant was in ER and is still having effects weeks later.
Gemtext is a bit less capable than markdown, isn't it? IE there's no inline images.
Well, that section is talking about CPU-bound tasks, and both threads and processes are valid choices for CPU-bound tasks, with different tradeoffs.

I think there is often a lot of confusion around that because a lot of tutorials simply say to use threads for IO-bound tasks and processes for CPU-bound tasks, without going deeper into the differences. Threads can easily share memory which often increases complexity and requires locks to run safely, with processes you avoid locking (including the infamous Python GIL) but also have to pass around data which might hurt performance.

Regardless, it still doesn't make sense to say threads are only appropriate for IO-bound tasks, the official documentation [0] seems to lean towards preferring threads for mixing IO and CPU-bound tasks, and processes for purely CPU-bound tasks.

No, I mean that remoting doesn't depend on Web technologies. (Not even the VSCode remoting implementation does, AFAIK.) So it doesn't follow from "VSCode does remoting" that VSCode is built on that stack.

One thing that will be memory holed because of the ultimate successful launch is just the MASSIVE overpromising on schedule and budget. Nearly criminal, in fact. Billions of dollars wasted and countless valuable missions that had to be sacrificed.

The team (I think under new management) eventually delivered a successful launch, so no one will remember.

I do think the final team who got it turned around and actually launched absolutely do deserve credit, I don’t want to deny that at all. But the opportunity cost was absolutely astounding.

(Will add sources)

EDIT: this 2018 article in The Atlantic:
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/07/nasa-jam...

Remember it was supposed to launch in 2007 for just $500 million when conceived and 2010 and $1 billion (respectively) when approved.

Didn’t launch until the tail end of 2021 for $10 billion!
This is one of those algorithms that does something that seems impossible at first. It's a common question on 'leetcode style interviews. I think it's fair to expect somebody to know this algorithm exists and what can be done with it, but coding it off the cuff seems unfair because there are quite a few details you have to get right to build the tree in linear time.
What's the next circle going to be? Mainframes become even more specialized & powerful, and then the cloud builds new more specialized silicon to match it?
Why do you think coke cost what it does instead of $10 per can? The price is what it is because people are willing to pay it. If they don't, the price either goes down or the company goes out of business.
What do you mean, fighting the UI system? Non-native looking UI elements? If that's the case, I have to agree with you, actually. For web-like desktop GUIs, web technologies seem to be the fastest vehicles, unless someone releases an updated Display PostScript…

Other than that, I've had way faster dev experiences in Delphi, Cocoa, SmallTalk and Tk. Mostly because you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

FOUNTAIN: ... So, Barbara, we have a question for you.

CARVALHO: Uh-oh.

FOUNTAIN: Would you be willing to let us test one of these methods in one of your polls?

CARVALHO: Oh, sure.

FOUNTAIN: Really?

CARVALHO: Well, if they're - I mean, if they're appropriate, objective, you know, questions, that would be great.

GUO: So here's the exciting news. We worked with Barbara to draft two questions - one, where we ask people to predict the election and another asking them who the folks in their social circles are voting for.

FOUNTAIN: She said she would slip them into a poll Marist is doing before the midterms, run some analyses and let us know how useful they might be for the future of polling.

...

CARVALHO: When we look at who people think that their social contacts are going to vote for, we actually found among registered voters a plus-10 Republican...

GUO: That's a big difference.

CARVALHO: ...And a plus-14 among those who say that they're definitely going to vote. When we look at who they think is most likely to win the election in their district, we see among registered voters a plus-12 Republican.

FOUNTAIN: Wow.

CARVALHO: ...And a definite vote of a plus-16.

FOUNTAIN: The wisdom-of-the-crowds type questions are heavily favoring the Republicans, much more than the standard question, though Barbara is careful to mention that all of this is just preliminary, and the real test is when she puts all this data together and does some analysis. And besides, it's a little hard to figure out which questions are working better on a national poll. But...

GUO: If the election goes more toward the Republicans, is that a little bit more evidence for maybe the usefulness of these questions?

CARVALHO: Absolutely. And so what we will take a look at - and mind you, we're not ending the experiment here.
I would be on-board with this as long as we compile everything into WebAssembly with Emscripten first
From my experience if someone under the age of 50 has mild cold like symptoms or as you did only feels ill for about two days then the chance of it being COVID is IMHO higher than the flu. I think in young people the flu hits you much harder and you never get away with less than a week minimum of feeling ill but with COVID one could have no symptoms or mild symptoms for less than a week which is very common.
Both Python and JS have static typing.

Do you have any more details about how that works on iphone? It seems very hard to believe, given the complexity and diversity of background apps on iphones, some of which access huge data that would be impossible in system memory (e.g. offline GPS/navigation apps). For example, Google Photos can send the full photo library on the phone, even if large, to the cloud while the device is locked.
That's the start of a setup, but that's not enough information for me to figure out why you needed a force push.

I'm not going to demand you explain more, but if you want to explain more then I'll try to answer the question you had about whether there's a better method.

Also Pull is generally a shortcut for "Fetch then Merge", and just getting changes is Fetch.

I'm not in a much of a position to evaluate Python's asyncio since I really have not used it very much. However, over the last few days, I started to dig into it and tried to get some (what I think are) very basic examples working and really struggled. That alone is not fully dispositive because I've used many async implementations in various languages and each of them have a bit of a learning curve and their own wrinkles you have to ramp up on. That said, my limited experience at least tells me that Python's async has a FUX that leaves a lot to be desired. I've found other languages make it a lot easier to do concurrency, parallelism, async vs sync, blocking vs non-blocking and all that. I don't really know if the issue is poor documentation, the semantics of the APIs themselves...really not sure. I do know that I'm left with the feeling that "this seems like it's going to be a pretty big PITA".

The will to power. It is a much stronger force than one reckons usually. And it is very difficult to be conscious of it in oneself.
Just as a matter of history:

- BTC was originally intended to support smart contracts

- but people pitched “digital gold” because they didn’t understand that vision

- then the capability was removed for “safety”

- and then later ETH came along (with a different model), but one that still is too costly for general compute trade and which is inflated by the gimped-BTC bubble

- we’re watching that fools gold bubble pop

- and new ideas about compute for sale emerge [1]

And in the near future:

- eventually, tokens will represent real things with the interop currency being the one for buying compute time

I’ll be surprised if it actually ends. They said it will super duper definitely end, but there have been many “end dates” over the past two years.

I feel silly because I paid off a student loan during this period and if I had paid nothing it would have been forgiven.

The rational action is to pay nothing as long as possible.

RDP is the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol that was in use for decades before VSCode; VSCode's own remoting doesn't use it.

Ask HN: Early warning about LEO constellations?
Once upon a time (pre-2012) I recall reading a non-fiction article or essay or passage about satellites and space debris, by a well-known science-fiction author (Clarke, Asimov or somebody like that; maybe online, maybe in print).

The author speculated that humanity might one day be cut off from access to space due to the cascading accumulation of debris in low earth orbit.

They imagined that in the future, people would look back on LEO satellites -- as distinct from GEO satellites -- as a form of dangerous pollution.

Kessler syndrome was not named specifically, but the idea that future humans would see present human activity in space as foolish and unsophisticated was a distinctive theme. Not so much "debris bad," but "LEO stupid."

Does this ring any bells? The date of publication was probably 1990s or earlier. Google turns up some vague results, but not the precise one I remember, and I'd love to find it again.

Yes, so the upside is capped but you get to set the cap based on what call you sell. The bet you're making is that the stock won't appreciate enough for the other party to exercise the call option (so you earn the option premium + underlying appreciation). If the option is exercised you lose some of the gains you would otherwise have made, but you still captured some of the appreciation.

But there is no increase in downside in the financial sense (if the stock price declines you keep the premium).
Even the tourist trinkets look the same, they're all made in China nowadays with some stamped flags and such, luckily I'm not buying much stuff these days.

> Something of the sort must happen eventually, as the current system, with its layers upon layers of intermediaries, is antiquated and prone to crashing—the global financial crisis of 2008 was just the latest in a long line of failures that occurred because banks didn’t actually know what was on their balance sheets. Crypto is money that can audit itself, no accountant or bookkeeper needed, and thus a financial system with the blockchain built in can, in theory, cut out most of the financial middlemen, to the advantage of all. Of course, that’s the pitch of every crypto company out there. The FTX competitive advantage? Ethical behavior. SBF is a Peter Singer–inspired utilitarian in a sea of Robert Nozick–inspired libertarians. He’s an ethical maximalist in an industry that’s overwhelmingly populated with ethical minimalists.

The argument is that they had market power before, but were afraid to exercise it for political reasons or because they feared enforcement action. Now, with inflation, the company has an excuse to raise prices, but now they're raising them only partly due to increased costs, and partly as an exercise of their market power.
