I suspect the C behaviour is for a very specific reason, namely to create correct rounding for interval arithmetic. (There are quite a few pitfalls for that in initialization).

"Rounding modes" might seem like the most boring irrelevant part of floating point numbers. Who cares if your result is off by the tiniest ammount? It is "wrong" in any case.
But actually rounding modes allow you to create floating point software with mathematically true results, with a few very clever tricks.
Wait lists are uniformly infinite if you don't get on them.

I used syncthing[1] for that althought use case is a bit different - syncthing is mostly to sync the data between many devices (p2p) without option to have partial sync on a directory; you can have more than one synced directories but "one big directory" will be "one big directory" on every machine.

So I have my phone pics synced to my NAS and PC, my blog's markdown files between server and my computers, another dir for some music etc. There is also option for simple versioning in case you need to dig out the old files but it's not integrated with OS as it is "just a directory".

Disadvantages is that you need at least one other device running to sync as it is P2P (with some community-ran server to forward if you're NATed out of sight) but other than that, literally zero problems.

So, it depends. When I was at FB, we had one person in Europe (me), one in SF and one in Asia.

Organising the diffs in this way made it much, much easier to collaborate.

Given how much FB has grown since then, I suspect this would be even easier, and this is how the numbers noted above are what they are.
I disabled everything I could on youtube in 2015 or so, they haven't recommended me new content since then, I still haven't seen these "shorts"

> OneDrive _for business_ is built on Sharepoint. Onedrive ... erm ... not for business (?) is an entirely separate product, and they don't interoperate.

That is oh so weirdly common in MS ecosystem... like Skype for business being Lync and being significantly worse than "just" Skype (no idea what MS teams voice chat is based tho)
> PDF is a subset of Postscript

That’s a bit of an oversimplification. There’s a whole layer of structure atop the postscript subset. Much software deals only with that layer, never looking into the chunks of rendering code. That’s plenty complicated already!

> Postscript (and PDF) are also postfix, which can be confusing.

I handwrote quite a bit of postscript wsy back when. It wasn’t that bad, really, you just had to keep the state of the stack firmly in your head. Being used to HP scientific calculators helped. I would never dream of handwriting a pdf file, though. Even the low level parts are harder to deal with, since most command names have been shortened to a single letter for efficiency.
In theory that’s right what you say.

But still, tasks should be small enough that it hopefully won’t hurt too much if you throw away all the code again.

Too often I experience that - even if you talk to low/mid level devs about a feature before, even if you make a task breakdown together with them and write all the software design decisions down, even if you tell them they should commit often to you can check once in a while, even then in the end it‘s too often garbage what has been produced. Still, companies want to keep these developers because it’s hard to find new ones. And I guess it’s our senior’s duty - even if there are many disappointments - to still assume the best and try to teach them to do better. Again and again and again.
Are you seriously saying you spend 8+ hours a day working for a company and don't have a contract that manages your rights (like salary, PTO, ...) and obligations (work hours, presence, ...)?

Mind blown.
>But more importantly there's a big difference between how Facebook and Twitter work - Facebook is default closed, people can't interact with you unless you're putting yourself out there - either by friending people or joining a group, so there's a natural barrier against the spread of harassment, brigading and the toxic behaviour becoming public. There is a whole load of toxic neo-nazi stuff on Facebook, but it's out of view, and because ads are highly targetted there's no concern about brand safety. On Twitter it's default open, so if people are going around loudly spreading far right homophobic conspiracy theories about a violent attack on an elected official everyone is going to know about it - that's why Twitter has to be so careful.

Interesting point!

I'm not totally convinced though, I'd expect there are a lot of neo-nazis on Facebook who make their posts publicly viewable. "Hey look guys, there's this terrible neo-nazi post!" -> some FB users see an ad for their fav brand above the post.
“All nonviolent charges”
He hired hitmen over the dark web how is that not violence?
nope, it's direct response advertising, which is the stuff that gets you to click and purchase online.

Both FB and Google have really successful systems for this, and it insulates them massively from brand safety concerns. It appears that Twitter never invested in this (which is kinda insane tbh), and hence the large brand advertisers have a lot more power over them.
this makes me think of a really great developer I worked with one time who had one major failing, he was too trusting.

So one time he got some code from the senior backend Java developer in Argentina and went to past it into the place he was told to paste it into for sending alert notifications to customers, some months later we are going through a major crisis because alerts have not been working for several months and all the customers who are paying thousands per month for the service are getting pissed.

He worked home a day he could really focus on debugging and finding what could possibly have caused our systems to fail!

I was done with some little task I was on and decided to look through code changes and it really stood out the code he had pasted because if it worked that would mean Java was some magic language with incredibly terse code.

So later on we were having a major emergency call to figure out what could possibly be causing this extremely serious major bug and I said well I was looking through the code and you could see him manfully controlling his exasperation because hey, Bryan is not a Java guy and there is zero chance I could have a meaningful contribution to the current problem.

But yes it turned out he had trustingly pasted in code that we all agreed would never have worked (without caring to basically even read it), which despite the fact that in many ways this guy was better than me is something I would never, ever have done because I am a really hyper-paranoid guy about trusting code.

Anyway tldr, I would never use this tool but maybe some really skillful people would because they don't have the paranoid mindset.
I do suggest being careful with your selection if you decide to try an online provider. Some of the online options seem to just be pill mills.

There are some things you can try while you wait to see a doctor though. There are some good books to help education you on ADHD itself. Trying to add a few microhabits into your life can also help you prepare for when you do get medication. If you start to try to build a foundation, you'll have a few tools in place.

Finally, I've had some success with B vitamin supplements such as Primal Mind Fuel. (I honestly don't think you need an expensive version of it. Vitamin Water or 5 Hour energy have some of the same vitamins). They are sort of an over the counter stimulant that may give you a bit of help. Be careful though. They might mess with your sleep or anxiety. They tend to increase my heart rate, which feels a bit like stage fright or low level anxiety.
Well, this is funny.

He must really live in his own bubble for this to be a surprise, either that or he is trying to sink the company.
Yeah, I meant internal sabotage by Musk.
We have 150+ and had a bunch of problems, users with weirdly long file/dir names having some problems, and sync very rarely being flaky.

The performance is underwhelming (it's PHP after all) but we just threw CPU power at the problem...
Except Musk didn't start Tesla, he bought it. Yes, he gets referred to as a "founder", but that's a whole other sordid story.

> I'm not sure why you're fixating on the plastic shell, that's just one of several delivery mechanisms for the adsorbent polymer

The sorbent is the polymer. The polymer is the sorbent. They're the same thing. There is no separate regeneration cycle if you use alkaline for the elution because the alkaline cycle is the regeneration. Read the document you linked.

> But after several elution cycles the polymer is refreshed. Even the more pessimistic study you linked to found that it'd cost $830/Kg on the upper bound. This is only 8x the cost of existing mining methods, and wouldn't substantially increase the cost of nuclear power because enrichment is a bigger component of fuel cost than extraction.

It's small at $120/kg. $830/kg brings raw uranium cost for existing fleet to around $20/MWh or $12/MWh for a modern reactor. It'd be a little less because the tails would become less concentrated, but this is still significant. But what do you keep saying about promises? Why do we believe without question a wild-ass guess for something that has never happened in an industry that consistently overruns costs by a factor of 2 or 3?

> 2021's total lithium ion battery production was less than half a terawatt [1]

What year is it? In what year will factories built this year have been running for a year? How much more does an industry growing at 25-50% produce after two years? How many times has the claimed capacity been lower than the subsequent net production in the last five years?

The largest growth in the nuclear industry ever was around 30GW net. At this rate it would take decades to provide enough power, and 2021's battery production could easily cover diurnal storage. There's no precedent for anything close to the current renewable install rate, there is no precedent for mass expansion of mining, and you still haven't said where the fuel is supposed to come from after 2040.
Winning means making more money. Twitter isn’t a machine that automatically converts DAU to money. It’s an operation that sells ads. And it seems to be doing poorly at that as of late.
Measuring and evaluating factual claims these entities make is only one way of approaching them.

Technically, absolute free speech means exactly what Gawker did. Even more, they were not even lying about Hulk Hogan or Peter Thiel. What they did, they disrespected their privacy and wishes about secrecy of their private affairs.

Good riddance TBH but it wasn't a case of mainstream journalist lying, it was quite the opposite: New media journos were exposing truths about the celebrities and the rich and one of those(ironically, a self proclaimed free speech advocate) went after them and destroyed them for exposing private things they wished remain secret.

Ask HN: How do I scrape my tweets without using Twitter's own tool?

We are currently creating a new service that uses Prisma to communicate with the DB but we have other services built around hasura. Any other service that would need to query the DB in this new Prisma-enabled service would have to do so through a Hasura wrapper.

We need to determine if this is possible.

Event Driven Ansible – a first look
I wouldn't call myself a devotee, but I'm still on the positive side of the opinion spectrum.

The primary reason to not talk much is that it's useless. You can't reason with an angry mob. Sure there are plenty of things to criticize, but the mob is not focused on valid criticism targets. Anything and everything is hailed as a sign of evil and/or incompetence. It is incredibly exhausting to try to provide nuanced reasoning against kneejerk hate.

Overall I thought the whole Twitter purchase was a distraction when it was first announced and I still think that. I'm much more interested in SpaceX.

Does it bring "joy" though ? or does it bring a quick feel good response in your brain that pushes you away from activities that actually bring joy ?

> All men of this stamp, I maintain, are pressing on in pursuit of joy, but they do not know where they may obtain a joy that is both great and enduring. One person seeks it in feasting and self-indulgence; another, in canvassing for honours and in being surrounded by a throng of clients; another, in his mistress; another, in idle display of culture and in literature that has no power to heal; all these men are led astray by delights which are deceptive and short-lived – like drunkenness for example, which pays for a single hour of hilarious madness by a sickness of many days, or like applause and the popularity of enthusiastic approval which are gained, and atoned for, at the cost of great mental disquietude.

I think psychedelics hit the salience receptor (5HT2A) and so everything experienced on them feels artificially meaningful. It takes unpacking and skepticism to figure out which experiences actually hold merit and which are noise. "Enhanced meaningfulness" is a useful tool if that's what you're lacking in your life, but a dangerous one if you let it inflate every idea you have while impaired.

This is why I like dissociatives more, they don't artificially inflate the sense of meaningfulness and don't tank your working memory so you can explore deeper and wider with more skepticism during the trip. If only MXE still existed...

> But it regenerates this very slowly. It'd take over a month to recharge. Again, you can't compare a pumped storage reservoir with a precipitation-based reservoir (aka a dam). With the former you put energy in and energy is stored. With the latter you just have to wait for the rains to fall. This is not useful for cyclical, or as you insist we word it, diurnal storage. Anyone with a solid grasp of logic can see that, too.

The refill comes from tumut 2. And again, it's a 2GW storage that provides diurnal, five day, and seasonal. Do try to comprehend basic concepts like 'water that goes through a dam goes to the lower reservoir'.

> Lead acid batteries only last ~300 cycles so you'd have to replace them every year if used for cyclical storage. This is why lithium based battery chemistries are used.

This doesn't matter. It's called a battery and you can't typically use nameplate capacity. It's exactly the thing you keep acting outraged about. It's also probably the thing most associated with the word battery other than single use cells.

then

I bow low to gold, and bowing, seize the underworld
