I'm not sure if it was that one, but there was one edition of Borland C++ which had a handle on the top of the box containing the manuals, and a safety warning about lifting carefully.
I suppose that's what their target audience wants to see.
You know that some checkout systems already do round-up donations for charities, right? Probably your best bet would be to figure out how to get in line for that (I think it is generally up to the merchant, but I don't really know).

I get the point below, too: there's plenty of food in the world, but distribution is inefficient and wasteful, and market incentives are borked. But people who need food like right now can't wait until we fix all the systemic issues. Also, there are groups like World Central Kitchen who are trying to get food out when the system breaks down completely, by natural or man-made disaster.
Those are wire-guided missiles, usually used to destroy tanks and other armed vehicles. The length of the wire is just few kilometers. The wire is needed to actually tell the rocket where to steer [1].

More modern approach to anti-tank missiles are those with lasers being used for highlighting the target [2], while the missile has a battery and a camera to find the spot. The other approach is to do on-the-fly image recognition [3].

Edit: interesting fact: DART space craft sent by NASA to hit an asteroid used a missile derived technology to recognize the image and steer itself into the target, since direct control from Earth was not possible due to communication lag [4] (also try googling "dart mission" to see google's doodle on the topic).

What are you talking about? You can meaningfully falsify all of those in the context of which they are said.
Marking random hidden internals accessible doesn't mean a private API becomes public. setAccessible is a useful tool for debug access, or for when an annotation gives extra guarantees, or you can use it on code you have access to.

But you can't expect from your API vendor that they won't ever again change the internals of the implementation just because you forced your way in and monkeyed with the internals. Writing your code this way is a surefire way to need rework at some unpredictable time in the future.

If you're lucky, it just crashes. A worse possibility is subtly corrupting and destabilizing your program. That was what happened in some of these cases: hashcodes were stored/cached in collections after an upgrade, and people using reflection to 'restore' a collection didn't update these caches correctly or dropped them in the wrong hash bucket. Then the hashmap had elements that were both there and not there, depending on how you queried it.

One of differences of a senior engineer is that you not only say it works today, you can guarantee how it stays working long term, even when the environment changes. Things like tests and comments are part of that. API contracts are a big part of that, both in being explicit about them as an API provider, and not touching non-guaranteed parts as an API consumer. Using setAccessible like this is a grave violation of an API contract, and it takes away your ability to upgrade to later version.
Apparently someone who is great at buttering him up to say more and more stupid stuff.
Yes, the game is rigged from the start.

But that does not mean you can play innocent when you lose it.
Probably 80% of the SaaS apps I've run into have "want this feature? upgrade your plan!" upsells scattered around. It's clearly not a big no no.
The last time I looked into doing that there was no good way to support anything but headless due to the lack of GPU acceleration.
You never know. He doesn't seem like a planner based on how the collapse of FTX went down and how he's talking to journalists instead of his lawyer.
And let’s not forget the 14 engines static fire earlier that put it just behind SLS power with less than half the engines: https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-super-heavy-14-engine-...
Worth noting is, the subtitles said "The ferry uses, each day, about 150-200 kWh" whereas the speaker said "the ferry uses today between 150 and 200kW". I'm guessing Tom Scott had him clarify later, but the units, and what could be assumed to be a timeframe or not, is not the same.
It is possible, but a bit difficult to fully remove Hyper-V. It does have to be fully removed or the whole OS will actually be sitting under it from boot time and you won’t be able to run another hypervisor. You’d have to search around the VMware Workstation forum for the solution though.
I live in a passive house in western Europe; AMA :)

So far autumn has been fairly mild and quite sunny. As far as I know our (floor) heating has not had to kick in, or if it did it has been limited. I was still walking around in T-shirt + shorts until well into October. So yeah, I can confirm passive houses work, and I'm glad they do with the current energy prices.

When we built our house such passive houses were rare. Nowadays basically every newly built house should be (more or less) passive due to regulations that were tightened every couple of years. But there are still many many old and very energy inefficient houses that are in need of a good renovation...
Books. I've gotten a lot of books that I've appreciated. I've also given books and people always seem to be happy.

Other than that, small decorations.

I've never been that big of a fan of most practical or functional gifts because they're often obsolete tech. It's cool to give someone something they use every day, but it's easy to just clutter up a drawer instead.

People mean well, and I appreciate the thought, but I've gotten lots of stuff from relatives who don't quite understand that disposable batteries are a hassle and I don't have random papers lying around that need organizing.
All this musk-style motivation 101 BS is direct from the CIA's manual on domestic espionage - frustration from within.

The means define the ends. If you treat people like shit, or as morons who need BS pressure techniques, you'll get a demoralised company.

Treat people well, set them clear targets and say it without fluff when they're slacking. If you can't tell somebody they're not good enough, you cannot help them to be good enough. None of this psychobabble BS where you're constantly second-guessing in a failed attempt to retain them on the rat-race for the rest of their life. Stop building ratrace companies.
I think motivation is more important. Solving problems should be fun and engaging activity. There are always bad apples literally in every single company no matter how good or faithful their culture. So, there is no way around it.

To give Elon credit, he does try to motivate people. Sleeping on the factory floor, doing more work than his subordinates, inspiring people about grand goals and "anti-bureacratic" philosophy – all contribute to motivation. He sent out an email to Tesla employees that literally said "If a rule becomes a Dilbert joke, then change the rule".

I am trying to steelman Elon's way of governing and personally know several people at SpaceX that are not dying from overwork, but actually happy. I also have a few friends who couldn't stand SpaceX and quit within the first year.
The call to action piece is missing because even if you see something you want to click-on you will avoid it because you have a live call
> Indoctrination is not forced on a person by a specific agent but rather is the result of passive exposure over long periods of time.

I do not think that indoctrination is being done by passive exposure only. This 1970 book: https://www.amazon.com/Canvassing-Peace-manual-volunteers-pa... (and yes, this is the Zimbardo of Stanford experiment) describes the tactic that was successful in starting the piece movement. The first step Zimbardo recommends when going from home to home - is to ask to sign some document that almost nobody will refuse to sign. Not “Stop the war now”, but more like “Investigate reports of war crimes”. Who will refuse to sign under such a noble request? What? Do you support war crimes?? A lot of signatures was collected.

But there was no need to send these collective signatures anywhere. Zimbardo states (as a scientific fact, lol) that after a person signed something in support of some (anti-war in this case) position - the person’s perception changes. He will become a little bit more receptive to anti-war arguments than to pro-war ones. (Other purpose of this first canvassing was to find people who already are passionate about your cause and sign them on as volunteers).

As I can see this tactic - not passive indoctrination, but active involvement via small first steps - is used rather widely on our planet these days. The most cynical variant is “give some little money to our noble cause!” - those being indoctrinated are financing the indoctrination campaign themselves. That is, if Zimbardo is right.
That's a bizarre price discrepancy. I wonder if there's some credits in there that I'm not getting in Canada, or that aren't included in the initial price tag.
but serious question, how does this violate criminal law?
Nature must have noticed that they've become a joke on energy subjects.

He made a lot of money by bucking norms. Hacker news of all places should recognize that people are drawn to those who project an appearance of improbable success through skill despite a lack of underlying competence (see also: Elon Musk)
Subway makes perfect sense, except when you are CEO of a car company. Then they are your direct competitor and suboptimal solution of Tesla's in the tunnel is used instead.

Hah. Ok fine let's call it by the more academic term. It's still a thing and nothing was refuted by your comment.
I would like to add a 7.5 is possible. Run slack in a browser and disable tab notifications. The app is so jarring when it comes to stealing attention. The most I get in the browser is the favicon will have a little red dot. I miss it most of the times which is a perfect balance for catching up on slack and getting things done.
Not me.

When I write software, every line of code is accompanied by the thought "I'm a blackhat hacker, with execution thread. How do I leverage this line of code?"
This is literally what Musk did first thing when he stepped into Twitter premises. He told teams to ship a feature in a short timespan or be fired, which required them to work over the weekends and sleep at their desk.
It is slowly adding ads as well. Currently in the channels only, but just give them some time.
Still, this is much better than every lemma with math formulas I have seen on Wikipedia.
I'd rather have an FTX scandal than Tornado Cash. I'd rather someone does some fraud than actual funneling of money to terrorists, druglords, gangs, and other problematic organizations.
I moved to nixpkgs from pyenv about a year ago, with positive results. I think it's worth the initial effort.
It comes in handy on large multi-brand enterprise sites where the same styles serve multiple domains. They are sharing layout but not necessarily the colors, dimensions, typography, iconography, or shape language.

It makes sense to systemically separate concerns in an environment like that, because it makes the same developers able to efficiently work on any of the sites; developers meaning one or more in-house teams, possibly with external consultants.
I totally sympathise with "I tend to interpret a written message in a much worse way than I do a message that is communicated verbally". Yesterday I had a feedback session with my boss about it, and we agreed to call more when there could be room for tension across team members. About your slack problem, I can only imagine it, and dare advising to get coaching about how to avoid or manage toxic communication social dynamics.
> So the law needs to be structured (and law enforcement trained) to ensure nosy neighbors can't cause damage like this.

Let's take this a bit further. We are never going to be able to eliminate all ignorant law enforcement regardless of training, that's just not realistic. Or prosecutors. Or...

I mean, this is a case in point (all of them were dumb or unwilling to admit to error in judgement), and I am sure you've seen plenty yourself: I don't know a single person who hasn't first-handedly experienced a dumb police officer (not saying they all are, but some certainly are).

If we accept that we'll never get everyone to be perfect, we should accept that we rely on everyone to not be dumb. It starts with your neighbour and you.

If I was the parent, I'd include the neighbour in my damages (emotional, reputational and lost income) suit along with the police and all the other institutions that didn't put a stop to this. Provided the parents can win anything in court, which I am not even sure about.

If the neighbour was really worried, they could have accompanied the kid to the house and had a chat with the parents.
For transoceanic shipping, direct use of nuclear power is more efficient. It also enables higher speeds more consistently and increases operational flexibility. The main cost is increased capital expenses, which should pay for themselves due to reduced cost of operations, and increased crew costs, which should reduce as nuclear operations become a standard part of the training of mariners. There are also some issues around governance, but those are fairly malleable.
Arguments in relationships was one of the first “off-label” circumstances that came to mind when I saw this post.

Thinking about it a bit past the initial reaction though, I think it’d actually be a massive boon for relationships. Sometimes we get so hung-up on the wording, that may or not may not have been clearly expressive, but due to some slight subtlety, changed the course of the interaction from a potentially positive one to a toxically negative one. I think if you can just subvert the “you did say that! You don’t remember??/No I didn’t/Yes you did” you can focus on the actual content of the conflict resolution.

I’d personally want to know if I said X-potentially-hurtful-thing. Or was the other person just hearing it? What’s workable, what’s not workable. Post-mortems for arguments (assuming the relationship is a viable one, ie genuinely collaborative & not contingent on point-keeping) would be a lot easier & constructive conversations can be realized much more quickly.

I was also wondering this, you beat me to asking. If there is precedent for two cables why not connect them to make a long narrow loop of them like on a ski-lift; place an electric-powered winch on one end and an idler on the other?

Was neat to see the video, and I’m sure they have their reasons.
Love these types of advances though I wonder if weeds and pests will adapt to outwit the robot or if our ability to adapt automation to such changes simply will always/usually be too rapid for nature to keep up.
Migrating from S3 has been always easy, as long as you agree in paying the awful amount of money AWS is asking you to do it. But using R2 as a lazy loading layer for S3 seems like a very clever trick move that can alleviate the process a lot by spreading the payment in a longer period of time.

And who knows, maybe after some months the remaining data can be considered cold enough to just archive it.

edit: fix sentence.
I take issue with your implication that I'm emotionally invested in something when I shouldn't be. You are free to dislike R and not use it, but to claim that it's "trash" is to wrongly disavow its usefulness for the many people that do find it useful, and to cast aspersions on the judgement of all those people.
Look up the Singer System 10...
Tesla and SpaceX were companies that were going to revolutionize their branches. You would join believing in Musk's vision and hope to be part of something great.

Twitter exists already for quite a while, is not doing great and has a couple of competitors already. And Musk's vision? He didn't even want to go through with the takeover, and his first attempts to show his vision suggest he's rather clueless.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I'd never heard of him til the FTX implosion.
SBF talks about money like a prop trader who thinks that blowing your account is just a thing that happens to everyone in their lifetime, crossed with an extreme Rationalist (of the self-described "Rationalist" community) who thinks everything can be reduced to choosing between Column A and Column B based on which column has more utils.
It's about trusting a function call. Imagine the following C functions:

extern result fubar(struct foo *);
extern result snafu(struct foo const *);

Just by looking at the function prototype, I know that calling snafu() won't change the struct foo I pass it. I don't know what fubar() will do to it. Maybe it won't change, maybe it will. I'd have to check the implementation of fubar() to find out.
What part would be illegal?
How easy is it to transfer between teams? Some companies make this easy, others make it almost harder to apply internally then externally.
Holmes is getting sentenced this week. It took years to get there. This isn't going to happen overnight.
Our training material explicitly excludes culture fit questions or decisions since it is a source of bias.
Tornado Cash is private banking. The writer of the code did nothing wrong by writing it.
>COWEN: Then you keep on playing the game. So, what’s the chance we’re left with anything? Don’t I just St. Petersburg paradox you into nonexistence?

>BANKMAN-FRIED: Well, not necessarily. Maybe you St. Petersburg paradox into an enormously valuable existence. That’s the other option.

This logic is literally "You either win the lotto or you don't, 50/50 chance"
Even if it did it would still be worthless. Value isn't created by destroying time and energy.
interesting to see "cuckold" used denigratingly on this website—I thought that was taboo in current year, especially here
Ah, a true genious mind...of a gambler.
They do this with large mining machinery such as the drag lines and bucket wheel wheel excavators. They don't move very far so extension cords are acceptable.

And in mining they run portable medium voltage wiring through the tunnels to baby substations. They even make plugs and sockets rated to 15kV or possibly to 35kV, the upper limit for "medium voltage" in NA.

Obviously you aren't going around plugging these cables in like they're attached to a reading lamp. They are on disconnects or circuit breakers and the circuit is de-energized before connection or disconnection. Otherwise arcing would destroy the connector. A faulted circuit would cause an explosion on connection likely killing or severely injuring an operator.

Electricians working on medium voltage circuits must have medium voltage training and certifications.
Anyone with a couple weeks of legal education, never mind the caliber lawyers this guy should be able to afford, would immediately tell him to s t o p t a l k i n g.

I don't follow, how are high voltage cables able to be thinner than low voltage cables?
Of course it would be slower, but suppose time is not a priority while performing computations. CPU could start and stop the emulation, perform some memory management, but not the computation itself.
Like, some type of linked list on an SSD, it would take a bit from an input cell, which is linked to a logical "NOT" cell, which will reverse this bit to zero (which is easy to just assume an opposite value), and send the result to the next linked "output" cell.
These are super common - all of SFs MUNI system is built using the overhead wires -- batteries in the individual cars are interesting because there's a ton of cost involved in electrifying the entire length of the tunnel to deliver as much power as a train needs. All of the substations, the physical electrical cables themselves, etc add a ton of cost to tunneling projects and long-term wear items that will require endless maintenance that often shuts down the lines.

Building a dumb cheap concrete tunnel and leaving the expensive parts in the cars themselves could be a very cost effective method of urban transport. Though I think the "use Teslas" is a dumb addition since a purpose built train car similar to the airport shuttles at Denver would be much more efficient and handicap accessible.
I believe it is non-profit currently, so making money is not their top priority.

Ah! Makes sense. Thanks for sharing
OMG. "The dog ate my homework" would have been a better excuse.

> like, "oh FTX doesn't have a bank account, I guess people can wire to Alameda's to get money on FTX"

> ....3 years later...

> 'oh fuck it looks like people wired $8b to Alameda and oh god we basically forgot about the stub account that corresponded to that and so it was never delivered to FTX'

So they "basically" forgot about $8B not transferred to FTX.

But somehow FTX customers saw the funds deposited in their accounts, otherwise they would have complained.

The idea is a bit older than that:

Clancy here expresses an idea evoked in similar statements made by others, all derived from the orignial made by Lord Byron:

Lord Byron: Truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.

Mark Twain: Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, truth isn't.

G. K. Chesterton: Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.

Leo Rosten: Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense. (attributed)

FTX loaned the deposits to Alameda, and Alameda invested them. It's totally different from FTX making the investments themselves!

That seems pretty absolute! Bitstream encoding of everything would introduce a lot of complexity. There are places where it's called for, but I think in many many places the status quo of rounding up to 1/2/4 bytes is a better solution than either bitstream encoding or rounding up to 8 bytes.
No it’s testing who copy-pasted a highly rated solution.
You kind of went off the rails there in the final sentence. Are you saying that any of this adds credence to the silly idea that Democrats are beholden to SBF campaign money?
