Thanks for the insight! I think you've convinced me that it's not a huge deal. I was mostly shocked at the ease of reverse engineering my "MVP", but it would be unlikely for my specific targeted niche.
My point wasn't that twitter was acquiescing to every mass-report attempt. My point is that the "free speech absolutist" line was always BS. They'll turn a dime to suppress any speech they don't like as soon as they get the chance.
Mathematics may be defined deductively, but practically speaking I don't believe it is always or even usually done that way. People came up with axioms for set theory after inventing set theory first.
Sorry, what's "occluded" in this example?

The } is occluded, so you don't know if it's the whole thing or 3 lines of 5000. Similarly whatever outdented thing comes next is occluded.

Is there a perceivable difference between these?

"My roommate had a "unlimited BTU" gas fitter license (Canada Class "A") and this for a living and preferred "pipe dope""

I do this kind of thing a lot as we own and maintain our own water plant. My preferred sealant is the yellow PTFE tape that is used for natural gas.

It is quite a bit thicker than the white tape, it sticks to threads better and it is easier to work with, in terms of manual dexterity.

I never use the white tape for anything.

I don't like pipe dope at all and I only use it for large fittings that are going to be buried or inaccessible.

ALSO, helpful hint: If you are mixing plastic pipe (like schedule 40/80) and metal pipe, always have metal female couplings and plastic male couplings. A metal male going into a plastic female is one tighten away from cracking the plastic.
That Albert Einstein, always talking to the media, what an idiot. Don’t get me started on that Stephen Hawking either, what a conman. And that Leonard Susskind - complete moron. Richard Feynman - complete booby. Roger Penrose - fool. Bottom of the barrel, all of them. Real scientists work on real science 16 hours of the day and nothing else and spend the remaining 8 hours dreaming about real science. Any one else is a complete poser. If they even so much as speak to anyone who isn’t a physicist or write anything that isn’t a paper that’s a sure sign you’ve found a faker. The only exception is hacker news comments. Stay vigilant people.

"Oxygen rebreather" I was going to say, but the first image at https://www.divein.com/diving/rebreather/ set me back a ways. The diver looks like a giant version of a wolf spider.

The WWII oxygen re-breather was a smaller-than-SCUBA unit for shallow dives used primarily by special forces (it recycled your exhalations removing the CO2 and produced fewer bubbles at the surface to reveal your presence). It has been decades since I looked at this tech and at first glance it seems oxygen re-breathers have only grown bulkier.

So-called "mini-SCUBA" tanks are available priced in the low hundreds of USD:

So what you are saying that it is okay to restrict freedoms based on guesses of people intentions?

> and it's no one

Which means they don't boycott other jews owned business, which invalidates your mental gymnastics.

> when you start asking them detailed questions about what's going on in Israel and they have no clue

So it is okay to outlaw boycotting if X country if some of the boycotters deny to share their intent?
Early Type 2 is generally reversible through diet, but untreated you can suffer irreversible harm.
For what it's worth, most solar installations aren't offgrid. They work alongside the regular grid so if the solar system (or a part of it) goes down, the house would still keep getting regular grid electricity.
Twitter is so full of random takes on anything that of course you can find 'more than one' take on some weird idea. However, the dominant feminist stance on twitter and everywhere is overwhelmingly that women should have the freedom to be in the workforce or be a full-time homemaker, they just shouldn't be arbitrarily shoved into the homemaker role by society.
> The biggest of said problems is that the garbage collector has the annoying habit to “pause the world”.

I think that main problem of garbage-collected programs is that they usually allocate several times more RAM than they use. This causes excessive swapping which produces more noticeable lags than just garbage collection. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the difference can be 6x, but I am not sure if this is the correct number. This means that garbage-collected software is great for large expensive servers stuffed with RAM sticks but not so great for a personal computer having just 4 or 2 Gb.
Does Tesla have a QA department, or is engineering expected to do this type of testing? I hear some companies got rid of QA to reduce costs.

Maybe this could have been simulated purely in software. Not sure.
I agree. C++ really should just be left as is an used as a compilation target for easy bootstrapping and interoperability.

The anti-woke articles sometimes get a lot of upvotes on the /new page but they don't seem to last when they get the front page, I imagine they get flagged. I don't know if the upvotes are because some legitimate users get hooked or if it an example of dogpiling which they think is OK because they think their enemies dogpile all the time.

Anti-vax articles were a lot more common (at the point where I'd call them "an assault") a year ago but I think people are a lot less interested in COVID-19 and its discontents than they were back then. They rarely make it to the top.

I'm sure there is some filtering mechanism other than flagging, look at how the /new page was flooded by articles about the Twitterpocalypse but nothing about it makes the front page; these may be suppressed by some heuristics or active moderation, I find it hard to believe they are getting flagged quickly enough to explain their absence.
Lots of dismissive claims. But nothing to back it up.

And boy howdy will research back up the other view - that it's a real thing with real victims.

It's comfortable to deny things that challenge a world view. But not helpful.
If you live in northern California, like I know a lot of the nerd herd here does, one of the greatest dives in the world is a two hour car ride away in Monterey. The kelp forest there is like no other place on earth; it looks like a 3D set from a sci-fi movie. The bad news is visibility is a coin toss, and five times out of six it's like diving in pea soup. And the water is cold, you need double wetsuits at least. But if you ever get a high-visibility dive there, you'll be hooked for life.

A lot of the dives are shore dives, you can just walk into the ocean from next to the aquarium and see some amazing things (or cold murk). Point Lobos state park may be the greatest diving site in North America.

I find the whole layout perplexing, more like things went off into a marketing plan to show what can be done instead of doing something reliable.

If it can't handle 10 batteries and can't handle updates without backup from the grid, why did they make/sell this setup? Two controllers with ~5 batteries would make a situation where one is active/normal and the other is being the grid so the reliability would be the same as whatever they promise everyone else.. Similarly, he doesn't actually need to be off the grid, his connection just doesn't meet his peak usage so the level of chaos seems to be just to be able to say this is an off grid setup?
Yeah, whatever button I pushed to upgrade, it did the opposite. It created a new instance of PG and applied the new plan to it. Meanwhile I had to manually copy the data and shut down the old plan/db.

Update: found it while playing with a new project! There's "upgrade instructions" which guide you through the manual process, and there's an option to "upgrade plan" which just reassigns the existing db. Very intuitive!

p.s. Fun fact, if you spin out a new Heroku app (today, Nov 27th), it defaults to free stuff, and makes you upgrade manually, as opposed to just defaulting all the new stuff to cheap paid plans.

The disappearance of the specific species Home Sapiens doesn't seem terribly important in my opinion, especially if it is supplanted by a descendant species.

But the absence of tech WILL eventually lead to the demise of life on Earth and consciousness in this little patch of the universe, because the planet Earth's ability to host life has an expiration date.

This is why I have no room in my mind for the anti-tech memes. A future where we live as primitive farmers or hunter gatherers for a few more hundred million years until the sun starts expanding and boils the oceans driving all complex life to extinction simply isn't an interesting enough future to get excited about contributing to.

The only way to avoid this future is to become a space faring civilization, and I think the existential risks present in that process are worth it, because the payoff of success drastically overwhelms the alternative. I want to be an ancestor of a multi trillion year type 3 civilization that develops levels of consciousness, awareness, and understanding of reality that we can't even begin to imagine.
Interesting.. I took the color scheme from the Stickies application on MacOS, so hopefully 3M goes after Apple before me :)
I think I'm just not creative enough to think of features that need to be implemented by the language and not easily done at a library level. You could prevent the access to secret's contents by creating the appropriate class, but I suppose it would be harder or impossible to allow the user to peak into the contents but disallowing using them for branching specifically. Though, I'm not sure where that can be useful in practice. Also, I'm not sure how that language feature can mitigate meltdown and spectre. How can it do that?
Oh, my bad.

Personally, I spend most of my time alone, and really enjoy it.

Loneliness is certainly something I feel at times, and I can understand how people feel left out because of it, but I have a hard time understanding how people become so crippled by it.

I mean really, do people just not like themselves very much?

My theory is the over-emphasis of one's internal mental state. I like to say "The overwhelming majority of the universe is OUTSIDE of my litre of jello". This means: focus on observing the world through your senses, not on your internal thought process, which is an infinite black-hole of pointless introspection.

Without exception we will all die and leave this brief experience of consciousness.

Enjoy this brief opportunity to be a self aware entity! And seriously, get over yourself and spend your time trying to see the miracles of the natural world...
1000% this. I spun up a nixos VM to play around and love the concept, especially things like declarative home directories.

But it’s impossible to discover all the various things you can do.
If only.

Unreal Engine relies on two things large metaverses don't have - precomputation of entire scenes in the creation tools, and extensive asset reuse. In a real metaverse, there are thousands of creators, all making assets. Second Life has over 60,000 different chairs for sale. Each was created independently. The world is assembled dynamically. There is no external "level editor" for a good metaverse, only object editors. You build the world in the world. Although some of the low-end metaverses, like Decentraland, do make you edit your entire land parcel externally and upload it as a unit.

Epic might eventually offer a more dynamic system. It would involve back-end servers doing much of the optimization that the Unreal Editor does now. Maybe in UE6 or UE7. It's certainly possible, but a big job.

Nanite does not eliminate levels of detail. It just does them within meshes, rather than external to them. In most computer graphics, you have explicit objects which appear more than once. That's called instancing. But within a mesh, there's no optimizing out duplicate submeshes. That's what Nanite does. A Nanite mesh, rather than being big lists of vertices and triangles, is a directed acyclic graph, in which common subsections are combined. So, if you have a huge area of buildings, but not that many different windows, the windows are unduplicated.

Notice that in the UE5 demos, they have lots of dirt and rocks, lots of copies of the same statue, and buildings which have a lot of repetition. That's the key here. Those are all things for which this optimization works. Even then, the download for the Matrix Awakens demo is about 16GB, which expands to about 250GB after decompression.

The instancing is recursive. A good example would be a long chain-link fence. If you zoom in close enough, you can see the bends in the wire and the flaws in the galvanizing. Maybe now and then there's a piece of trash or a leaf stuck in the fence. If you zoom out far enough, you can see kilometers of fence. That can all be one Nanite mesh. And if you need to cut a hole in the fence somewhere, that will work.

The level of detail system is automatic. The mesh representation contains within it level of detail information. Nearer areas go further down the DAG to higher levels of detail. There's a clever geometry trick which makes the transitions look good. In general, the idea is to maintain about one triangle per screen pixel. The key to all this is that there are only so many pixels on the screen, and that controls how much geometry detail needs to be displayed. So there are still levels of detail, at a fine-grained level.

All this, unfortunately, turns out to be badly matched to what GPUs do. So about 60-70% of the rendering is done in the main CPUs. Nanite really needs a new generation of GPUs, ones that are good at chasing around complex data structures with internal links and offsets.

If you want to understand Nanite, here's the 155 page paper.[1] There's a video which goes with that.
It's brilliant, but it's not magic.

The most installed/removed NPT thread will leak the most thus have the most tape added and the scraping of installation/removal will guarantee teflon contamination of the system eventually.

You are also correct in that something installed one time for the lifetime of the system, especially with some care and attention to cleanliness, is almost certainly OK.

I've tried Colima too but it has always felt sluggish compared to local dev. I don't think any form of cross-host filesystem sharing could ever be fast enough.
By these standards my company’s events are tame. Vanilla, family-friendly events.

I still absolutely hate attending them, yet it’s how you network and make yourself visible so it’s a must.

Even keeping dry (no alcohol for me) I find loud events disorienting and I’m sure a few people thought I was drunk.

Yet another way to feel like I don’t belong :/
Zoning can get tricky here, depending on the state and county. It can be done- in fact, my property could be fully off-grid, but I like having a grid backup for electricity, and fiber internet.

I'm about a 20 minute drive from two different hospitals (towns west and east), and 10 minutes from a clinic that doesn't have emergency services. My nearest neighbor is probably a half mile away.
Yup, my club looks at it as kinda a "badge of honor" if you don't release any bubbles while ascending, heh.
Gotta strongly disagree that you may as well snorkel if you’re just seeing reefs. It’s a totally different immersive experience while diving. There’s vastly more to see diving than the limited plane you see top-down in very shallow water.
It depends on individual physiology, some people have eustachian tubes like railroad tunnels and have no trouble equalizing, while others have tight ones and struggle. You eventually learn your own personal best technique; I know that if all else fails, I can tilt my head back and look directly up while equalizing.

The sounds you hear during this process are pretty entertaining, too. Think of an elderly cat with a head cold, snoring.
That doesn't change the fact that the US is what it is now. We don't say that Iran is a secular nation because it was 50 years ago.

For sure most fund raises are on the basis of hockey stick go big or go home. It’s a moonshot and if you get stuck in orbit and cannot escape the pull of gravity you’ll burn fuel until you re enter the atmosphere…usually breaking up in the process.

At which point your business might be sold at garage sale prices. Or restructured with the C suite removed in the process. It’s just brutal.

We bootstrapped over 15 years (not a typo) and for sure can survive the next two years without issue which I’m very thankful for.

I love your idea of trying to find a balance but investors will need to be much more patient than they have been historically. Most won’t wait a year or two for return which means they are fantastically short sighted.

I'm in the 'schools are a moral disaster' camp. The final paragraph sums it up:

> So, I’m a sceptic of the ‘school is a moral disaster that we’ll look back on with shame’ position. Or at least, I think it seems weird to hold the view that schools are a moral disaster without thinking that most employment is a moral disaster.

That's exactly the point. I think that a lot of people who think school is a moral disaster would agree that most employment is too. The only thing that mitigates this somewhat is that you have choice once you are out of school. However school has a lot to do with setting us up for the moral disaster that is employment - that is its primary purpose, and it is very effective at it.
> We were probably spending nearly $10,000 on electricity a year across the business and home,” he said. “We worked out we could do a large solar system which could deliver that 200-amp feed, be able to pay itself off and be off the grid.”

$220K to offset a $10k/yr electric bill is a 22 year payback period, which is quite a long time if you are using energy bills as a rationale.

The primary rationalization for storage when you have grid access already is grid backup, and the secondary rationalization is for energy price arbitrage. Backup is hard to value monetarily because it depends on how much not having electricity costs you. Arbitrage is easy to value, but doesn't pay back much unless you have extremely variable retail electric rates.

> “The most confusing and contentious point for me is that Tesla seems to express that the off-grid Powerwalls cannot guarantee 100 per cent uptime … [but] this was never expressed to me during deployment, and had I known this, I would not have embarked on this journey.”

For a $220k installation maybe they wouldn't have been incentivized to explain it. One mode of the grid behaves a bit like insurance, increasing reliability and masking variability. Going off grid when you have the option to stay on seems like an irrational choice.
Good luck telling to most enterprise developers that new and delete are deprecated, specially when ISO C++ makes zero reference to it.
