> Regarding your experience, I can't make an objective analysis however from the fact that you're running Linux and that you wrote to disk more than the nominal lifespan, I'm guessing that you probably were doing some IO-intensive things that normal consumers wouldn't do.

1. Low-end SSDs starts at 40 TBW

2. Overwrites are counted for internal writes, not OS-level writes. In my case SMART reported 2-3x higher number of internal writes than OS-level writes (probably due to strained wear-leveling algorithm when the SSD was used mostly full).

3. I would consider my case as low-intensity workload (basic desktop usage), but 10 GB/day seems like too low. Just watching a movie is 2 GB write, if one download it first instead of watching stream. But let say it is 10 GB/day.

40000/(10×2.5×365) = 4.38 years, I think my SSD was 6 years old.

But all this is irrelevant, as the original argument about swap on SSD is not about regular usage of SSD, it is about writes triggered by swapping, esp. thrashing during near-OOM situation.
I need a 16-color version of this for terminals.

actually this probably already exists. 8 colors of equal perceived brightness and the same 8 colors at a higher but equal to each other perceived brightness.

They didn't have a system set up to protect against that. Their private keys were on a shared email account
These can be used to harass, amongst many other things, but they're not intrinsically harassing, per the examples above.
That article was not what I was expecting. I played APBA baseball as a kid and loved it. You were forced to learn strategy. Lineup, sacrifices, hit and run, stealing, advancing on throws (or throwing behind the runner), hold runner on 1st or not, L/R splits, the list goes on. It gave me a much deeper appreciation of the game. I was also able to “experience” teams and players of the past by managing them. The first game I bought from APBA also included the 51 Dodgers and Giants so I could replay that famous LCS. I also bought some notable Cubs teams from the past, the 08 and 35 teams were great.

The completely random dice games in the article aren’t really baseball games as much as they are dice games with baseball framing.

APBA is still going strong. They have complete card sets for seasons ranging from the late 1800s till today. I bought the newest version of the game along with the 1935 season. I wanted to get to know the 35 Cubs better and had grand plans of replaying their season. Didn’t quite get to that but did have fun playing some of great teams of the past against each other.

I’d still rather play tabletop baseball games than the computer based ones. I don’t know about Strat-o-Matic but the quality of the dice rolls stays constant but the results vary by the player and pitcher. It uses 2d6, classically one white and one red and you read the numbers sequentially. So it would be 66 instead of 12 and 11 instead of 2. 66 is always the best roll you can have but all double number rolls are good. What’s nice is that it is similar to a real game in that you can tell when a player squares up a ball but you have to consult the chart to see what actually happens. I find it a similar rhythm to seeing/hearing a batted ball and then waiting to see the result. You can also do some role playing. Roll a 65 instead of a 66 and you can say he “just got under” the ball because an 65 inevitably ends up fouling out instead of hitting a homer.
I am not British and don’t know who that is. FWIW I was not editing anything related to British politics.
What about using gesture recognition on a smartphone or tablet? It could become a useful portable calculating/coding app that doesn't need much typing. I know there are J apps and web APLs available, but not gesture ones that I know of.
Given the all recent advances in medicine for mice, they should be nearly immortal
at this point.
Pragmatically I agree with you.

But in GPs defense, I don’t believe these were multisig wallets with geographically distributed individuals in control. It was 1/1.

Nonetheless, a metal pipe is a good counter to crypto.
> everyone will be too afraid to adjust UTC

Sounds like that is a benefit.

Lets just not adjust UTC. Problem solved.
Plenty of jobs out there, but people who get laid off may have to scale back their expectations and demands. One day you get to work on your passion project, get free meals and pet care, work from home, code in your favorite language and framework. A month or two later you start looking seriously at the boring jobs and unsexy workplaces.

I was in multimedia and online marketing in 2001, then the bubble burst and the company I worked at laid a bunch of people off. Lots of people I had worked with before got laid off from their jobs too. Companies went out of business. I went back to where my career started, in enterprise logistics, Oracle and Java. Good pay but not sexy or fun, no free meals or work from home. I felt bad for some of the younger and less experienced people I got laid off with, they didn't have the domain experience or network of contacts I had -- they had fallen backwards into cool high-paying jobs out of school when money was pouring into anything internet. One junior programmer had to sell his Ducati, get a bus pass, and ended up in retail at Borders.

The job market can accommodate a lot of people with tech skills, but many people who just got laid off, or will as the belt-tightening continues, will face a kind of culture shock. They got to work at Disneyland for a while, but now the options will look more like Office Space.

Can we stop using free speech advicate as euphemism for "full of grievance right wing trolls"?
Not to mention kick ass tunes. I’m not sure if it’s a long standing collaboration, but Hospital Records use to curate the music
So basically just another confirmation that insulin resistance is a huge problem and that combating it with (in this case) intermittent fasting propagates into things like reducing incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
I think a good counter to "would choose to be alive" is "but would they choose to be born to different parents"?

Sure, you might say it wouldn't be the same child, but life is so chaotic that just from the random decisions you make, any potential child of yours changes wildly day-to-day anyway. That's a million potential children that would choose to be alive, in the time where you could have maybe one. So that's not enough justification. There are lots of good reasons to have children, but you need those reasons, not merely "would choose to be alive".
I think this is the "the first language I learned does X, everything that does Y is wrong" when in reality there are lots of different ways to do something and none of them are really 'right' - every thing is a set of compromises made by the person who wrote it that were made in context of the place and time they wrote it.

For example: suppose I want to be able to unambiguously use the names of C globals in my assembler - I might insist that they all get extended with an initial '_' or I might insist that registers get a '%' prepended

Or: many of my potential customers use IBM 029 card punches, I can't use [] to indicate indirection because they can't punch those characters, so I'll use () instead

Or: people in the UK don't have a $ key, I'll use a # to indicate literals instead

These are historical issues I've certainly had to deal with when designing long lived things
I am similarly bewildered by everyone going along with it. I am not in on whatever cruel joke is being played on us.

My best guess after turning my head 270 degrees, closing one eye, and squinting the other is that the noun is Microsoft/Windows, and the verb is running the ncsi daemon and having it fail the check.
D'oh. You are almost certainly right. I've seen too much drivel about "Trump really won" for too long.

(By the way, if Trump really won in 2020, and has been the rightful president all this time, then constitutionally he can't run in 2024, since that would be a third term.)
The wealthy owners of senior homes for mice keep on winning.

But more seriously the idea biological beings have adapted to going hungry for a set period each day (say only eating between 9am to 5pm), without starving themselves, fits well into an intuitive model of life (hunting, scarcity, etc).

It’s a cliche that weight loss and health requires being irrationally hungry all the time, or some unique physical ability, but like strength training where you can eventually squat 250+lbs with some practice I can see intermittent fasting as something you eventually build as a habit.

I say this from experience after trying a couple of times with both gym/fasting. Don't expect going hungry each night for a week is the quick Tiktok-esque solution to being fit. The initial habit building is easy... the hard (but rewarding) part is building a lifestyle that maintains it long term. I personally enjoy the gym more than changing food intake, but the latter (or keto) seems more valuable.
In what sense is this solution "fair"? What definition of fairness is being used?

This seems like a solution where rich people get the good things and poor people don't. I wouldn't call that fair.

In a democracy, everyone has an equal weight, an equal say, in the governance of the country. We often call that fair, or sometimes just.

In capitalism, every dollar has an equal weight, an equal say in what gets produced or built or done.
The US had sustainable birth rates throughout the 1990s to 2008. Not exactly the Stone Age. But they began a consistent downward trend since then.
RE: the amount of people over 70. This isn’t just ICU, this is all of healthcare.

Both culturally and legally humanity seems incapable of accepting death. The threshold for the amount of intervention we’ll do for a human dying is way too much. Sure, you can say DNR, but voluntary euthanasia laws are restrictive and the default from the medical and broader community is almost always try to survive at all costs.
I am fine with photos that are uploaded to the cloud being scanned. I do not want my own device spending energy and scanning images even before they completely leave my network or device. Google scanning my Google drive files is fine with me. Apple is much worse.
I was first in, best dressed to write the R API wrapper for an open source server (ODK Central). Proceeded to go through open source peer review at rOpenSci and made it a robust R package that is now used by a good few people.

The package is of course nothing HN worthy, but I'm proud of having contributed something back to FOSS.

The crunchy bit was parsing form data by introspecting a form schema (then XML, now JSON) which initially nearly made me lose my mind, hence the package name "ruODK"?
Any idiot over 21 can also put their life savings on black, but yes, the accredited investor thing is a bit weird. Maybe it's that a lot of those investments are risky, but not obviously risky in the same way as roulette or crypto.
I can tell the difference but they do look very similar. The first is a brighter magenta and the bottom is a darker one.
It was 60fps. Color required an adjustment to prevent stationary artifacts.
If they’re not okay with than you failed as a parent or your broader culture has failed. Taking care of the elderly is part of your role as a human.
Could one train an interpolation layer (eg take a bunch of 16k audio, down sample to 8k, train 8k->16k upsampler)? Or better yet (but more expensive), take whisper, freeze it, and train the upsampler on whisper’s loss.
"You are hereby ordered to forfeit your cryptocurrency or go to jail."
All that happened in this case is someone created their own coin and sent it to the hacker address. If you create a coin, you can name it whatever you want, and you can send it to whoever you want.
I built a word exploration site niftyword.com. It is used by around 200K people a month. At it's peak it was used by half a million people a month. It is useful enough for some people that random strangers email when I am careless enough to let it go down :)
I don't have one big thing, but several small things that I am proud of having done. I wrote an application to assist in comprehensive cardio and vascular screenings that has been used to [hopefully] save many lives. I wrote an application to process prescription orders using HL7 for a national hospital system to print out shipping labels for their prescriptions. I designed a never implemented system to allow patients to securely control, share and revoke, their medical information between pharmacies, doctors, and other health care providers (if such a system were ever implemented it would have a tremendously positive effect for a lot of people). I wrote a Memcached port for Windows. A couple of libraries to assist other developers. My proudest accomplishment though has probably been mentoring new software developers.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I guess it’s good to never get too comfortable.
Can confirm that interviews get structured to avoid wasting time on candidates who clearly won't get hired. Schedule an hour and that's all you're on the hook for. If you get a great candidate you ask them to stay and get more people involved, dig a little deeper with the candidate. No one who wants the job is going to complain if it goes long.

If a candidate asked me "How did I do?" I would interpret that as an odd and off-putting question in that context. It puts me on the spot and maybe forces me to lie to avoid an uncomfortable conversation, or possibly exposing the company to legal problems. If you don't know how you performed in an interview asking the interviewer is just making your prospects worse.
Also did you even read TFA you linked?

The reason I submitted this wasn't because I need more schadenfreude, but because I'm getting an increasing sense of unreality from what I read about the situation, and my reaction to Moody's was - this, this is real.

These are sane adults, making an assessment that the situation is crazy without shrieking about it.

It's not that they have any levers to affect Twitter's trajectory, it's just a reminder that there is an objective reality beyond the control of either fans or haters who sometimes seem to me like participants (bots, trolls?) in the same charade.
I believe you are correct. Within the gravitational field around it, the whole Earth is in free fall and has no weight.

The Earth has a mass, however.
There are IRC clients for phones.
This is promising. I suppose these funds will also help address the vulnerability of the US power grid to cyberattacks, due to its heavy reliance on a small set of critical nodes.

The following article from early 2022 gives a thorough yet concise overview of the subject: https://semiengineering.com/power-grids-under-attack/
The coding challenges are only worthwhile if you're going to interview at a place that interviews that way. Otherwise they're mostly a waste of your time. If they "don't look like anything I've encountered in my career so far", that's telling you something - that as professional development, they're not getting you anywhere that's actually useful in your career.
I like the idea of demand pricing as a way of increasing access but I don’t think it would work in practice.

Too many people would be thrown off by the falling price, and want to wait. Friends who bought earlier than other friends feel like suckers for spending more money on the same thing.

Lastly, what we call scalping _is_ a service to the ticket-buyer. The scalper is providing a market for the ticket at a price which is agreeable to the buyer. Dads love to complain about the “high” price of a ticket while they stand in line for $15 popcorn. Meanwhile, scalpers effectively do the work described in the article by adjusting prices very quickly based on actual demand. As an event gets close to starting, unsold inventory drops precipitously in price until it’s sold.

The reason scalping has a bad reputation is that most entertainment pricing is set well below the actual value of the event.
Short term chaos in Japan. Apparently a sizeable portion of JP citizens use Twitter oauth to log into other services. No Twitter means no login.
I was conceived via anonymous donor sperm and IVF but I wasn't aware of the viability timeline issue. Sorry for that. Yet still there's adoption.

As I just elaborated further on in another comment I didn't have parents for the first 10 years of my life either and it was damaging to say the least. Also kind of ironic because of the lengths my parents went to have me only to disappear for a decade.

I'm passionate about this and have tremendous sympathy for these kids because in a way I am these kids. I have such a strong dislike for her because I know this. I've lived it.
You're moving the goalposts though - you said to cite any articles at all, which I did, and now you're complaining about their positioning in the paper. As I said in my original comment the coverage was slanted to the point that it was scandalous (look at the link!) but there was still a lot of content that wasn't "on message". The NYT fucked up but it wasn't pure propaganda.
It doesn't seem like the situation is any different than with Cruise. Cruise received this same license June 2 (https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/news-and-updates/all-news/cpuc-issue...), and I'm still waitlisted. Maybe Waymo will expand their operations faster, but I'm skeptical.
You’d like your app stores controlled by the government?

If you take a closer subjective inspection of the corrected palette you will notice that the luminance adjustments makes typical day colors bright and typical night colors dark. It looks like day and night adjusted now. Due to the color diffraction of our atmosphere when the sun is low the colors get filtered and the light gets lower and this new palette is a better representation of that daily change.
I have no intention of being snarky here, but perhaps someone can break it down to a layman how this might differ from Theranos' approach?
To be clear, most of the alternative app stores here are so bad you’d never want them near your phone. They do things like slip spyware into apks and ask for broad permissions for extra stuff an App Store should never do, like “help you back up your text messages.” (This was in 2014 anyway, haven’t touched an android since)

Choice is good, but there’s something to be said for a locked-down ecosystem protecting consumers from bad actors. Not sure how to split the difference. I run linux on PC but have an iPhone because it needs to just work.

Generally, tech is applied to real world problems. It's advantageous to be informed about one's current environment so you can create something useful.

Oh, what aspect of domain ownership? I mean, yeah it's true, the whole market around domains is super sketchy and basically unethical IMO, domains should be like $5-10/year at most, for any TLD. I'm using NameCheap, which I fortunately haven't heard any horror stories about, but yeah, I don't have any more faith in them than anyone else, I just got an awesome deal to move my domains over years ago and they seemed to have a good reputation at the time.
That dude’s ass is about 2 inches away from being dragged down into the bike’s drive system. Gutsy move.
It’s the herding cats problem. Fewer, better engineers is (greatly) preferable but doesn’t play to the empire building of managers. Or the need for more managers. They might just work less hours with less fatigue and make code that is a bit more more sensible.
It is indeed a long time and a fair thing to bring up. Without getting into a philosophical discussion about sentences in general though, I think it's fair to point out that she ran a fraudulent company for well over 11 years, benefiting personally and financially from it all, while knowingly doing so, lying, and whatever else. She fired an employee who tried to warn fairly early about her lies, who later committed suicide. She hired investigators to follow Tyler Shultz around and bullied him with lawsuits.

These and more actions of hers do make me personally feel okay with her sentencing, especially since she shows zero remorse. Her final words before sentencing were basically "I'm sorry I ran a failed startup".
I guess, my internship project at Apple: I added approximate string search to Spotlight.

So even if you made a typo writing something, you’d still get correct search results.

Considering Spotlight is used by millions, I guess that’s super impactful?
Most major and minor venues have exclusive ticketing contracts. You can sell tickets to a high school gym but if you want to play anywhere that can handle a real crowd you’re stuck with the monopoly.
(Lol. Sorry for the empty comment, but this FTX situation is just a comedy gift that keeps on giving. I imagine in 5 years we’ll still be discovering new things to find funny about it.)
I scored a perfect 0 and while I can tell the difference, it's still pretty close. Purple/violet colors are just hard to discern in general.
> I consistently ignore anyone who tells me I shouldn't try something because it's "too hard" or "nobody will use it".

Inspiring. Thanks for your contribution!
In the case of transferable concert tickets that’s already the ‘solution’. Even if someone ‘poor’ is lucky enough to beat the odds and buy a ticket under the current system at the initial offer price, they still have the same opportunity cost to weigh up - it’s just they’re deciding whether to resell their ticket and realise a gain, or go to the concert and forfeit the gain.

This proposed system would be fairer in that it would at least deliver whatever the maximum amount a rich person is prepared to pay to the artist, rather that some scalper intermediary. Those at the lower end of the willingness-to-pay spectrum are no worse off, except to the extent that you think they’re disproportionately lucky, disproportionality motivated (which I accept is possible), or are themselves looking-to/willing-to scalp tickets.

It also seems however that it’d be pretty trivial to just prohibit resale of tickets and require ID at the venue. Artists/promoters might make less money but it’d preserve equality of access and largely eliminate scalping.
Sure, but you've made that choice ahead of time. And it doesn't move the coins.
IMO this looks more like SBF decided to buy his freedom by handing over the keys.

That’s a wonderful story!

My 3 and 6 year old love lego kits. Historically I found myself sitting with them and helping when they got stuck or directing them when I saw they made a mistake. More recently I decided to pick up my own kit and build along side them. I’m currently working on the Saturn V rocket. It’s been a lot more fun for me and a way to bond with my kids.
Yes, but at the same time, she defrauded her investors for billions, and, as was pointed out elsewhere in this discussion, appears to be completely and totally unrepentant. Her position is that Theranos was just a failed startup and that, essentially, she's being punished because she ran out of runway. Whereas, in reality, Theranos didn't work, and, according to its own scientists, could never have worked. It was snake oil from beginning to end.

I don't think 11 years is an unjust sentence for that.
