I've never thought of "parentheses" as being a US-English term, after all we have the word "parenthetical"*. I'd agree "parentheses" is a bit technical compared to "brackets", but I'd certainly expect any native speaker to know what it meant.

*) Plus there's the very English joke, and no this isn't something generated by ChatGPT:

One day, Shakespeare and Marlowe encountered an elderly man with a very straight back and bandy legs. After the old man passed by, Shakespeare turned to his colleague and said:
"Marlowe, if you were to include that man in your next play, how would you introduce him?"

Without any hesitation, Marlowe replied: "Lo! Here comes a venerable gent, his back is straight, though his legs are bent."

Marlowe then said: "Will, how would you put it?"

Shakespeare pondered a moment then suggested: "What manner of man is this, who wears his balls in parenthesis?""
1080p is 1920x1080 ~= 2.1m pixels versus 1280x720 = 921,600 .

So a little less than half but definitely not a quarter. And neither dimension is actually halved.
Either compete or go to a place that measures performance correctly.
Well, first off, I haven't put any numbers on it, so 60 hours is made up. Second, I'm not saying I'm going to "slack" during the 40 and waste 20 hours, I'm just talking about doing a normal job (with a normal amount of slacking interspersed. Let's not ignore that I'm posting on HN during my standard business hours at this very moment). And third, I am capable of adjusting how much time I need for hobbies and family on any given day, and sometimes I'll happily trade a saturday with hobbies or family to do some good work. I honestly don't know what it would be like to have a job that I never ever felt passionate enough about to willingly put in a little extracurricular time. It sounds horrible.
It's not about safety. The 80k limit comes from limiting wear and tear on roads. Pretty much every semi truck is built to tolerate 120-150k without caring though wear and tear on the trucks really starts to increase a lot beyond that.

Some states have higher weight limits when the ground is frozen.
One major limitation is memory. The browser only gives you about 1gb of memory to play with. But blender lets you play with as much as you have on your device. As well multithreading is limited or very difficult in the browser. On desktop it is a lot more flexible.

Also we are competing now with Blender which is fast moving and free. Blender is now a seriously alternative to 3Ds max and Maya.

A web based editor is at many disadvantages.

Figma isn’t competing with an effective open source tool. Also its resource requirements are much lower so it isn’t limited. Its market is also larger.

Not saying it is impossible to compete but it isn’t simple. Even if you are feature competitive, which is hard, you are likely slower and more resource constrained and also how can you charge much if Blender is free? Paying for an inferior experience? That is a hard sell.
I made the potato cannon from this book as a teenager. It was made of a PVC chamber for the propellant and a narrower ~potato-sized PVC pipe with the end filed to be sharp so that a potato would be trimmed down to create a potato slug with no air gaps around it.

The propellant was hairspray. You'd unscrew a threaded PVC end-cap from the back of the cannon, spray the hairspray into it, screw the cap back on, and ignite with a flint striker from the outside.

It was a really cool device.

Some people are probably going to call for legislation to address this twitter thread. What kinds of laws or regulations do you think could solve this?
One of the ways to stop the BS is to quit paying for it. Federal Taxes _must_ be gutted and minimized. Stop voting for people writing blank checks to these agencies. Taxes for local police and fire are probably well worth your dollar. Federal taxes do nothing but erode your rights to merely exist.
If what you say about dang is true, he needs to be fired.
Think of all the movie storylines that would just completely fail in the era of ubiquitous mobile phones.

Relatedly (sort of), I'm looking forward the day when they stop making movies whose storyline would be destroyed if the protagonist did the obvious thing and pick up the weapon used by their defeated attacker, so that they have a better defense against the next one.

So the journalist gets access to the emails in return for promising to dribble the story on Twitter over 30 minutes? Would be a much better experience if he wrote an article or at least tweeted faster, but not as much refreshing I guess.
It's not accurate though - Tim (the "wise old man" bridge guardian) asks Arthur the swallow question, and it is Arthur who retorts with "What do you mean, African or European?" And the question is not meant to be nonsensical, but merely difficult / obscure - unexpectedly and therefore humorously so, after the previous two softball questions.
Maybe I’m not deep enough in the weeds on the laptop story to understand the bigger picture, but so far, all the emails have shown are that members of the US government (which regulates Twitter) have the ability to contact Twitter and Twitter (as an organisation) does what it thinks will best ensure the survival of the company. This is a company that has executives forced to sit in front of and answer to congress, of course they would behave this way? What other possible outcome could there be? The problem here is, surely, using the NSA example, that the government has the power to regulate Twitter (which in turn puts pressure on Twitter to comply with the government). But that’s not what the story is apparently about, apparently the story is about the democrats?
The real reason scammers can't spell and use good grammar is because they are not proficient at spelling and grammar.

The report leaves out a crucial detail; the total number of STEM degrees increased significantly. Doing some backwards math, the total number of STEM degrees increased by 108% (x2.08) between 1988 to 2016. The US population only increased ~35% in the same period. Even if we assume the increase in the college age population was a bit higher (accounting for birth rate decline), the overall trend is growth in STEM degrees by both native and foreign students.

Given how much population and economic growth the main sources of foreign exchange students had during the same period, what we see is expected unless we actively tried to limit foreign exchange students. Native students aren't being replaced, they are still there.

We don't depend on visas to 'sustain' our economy. We use immigration to keep the massive comparative advantage we have had for the last ~80 years (since WW2). It's classic brain drain and the US has been on the winning side for most of recent history.
To consider financial incentives or any sort of funding is an affront to those affected by a serious matter that may warrant an investigation.

And yet humans aren't computers, and the meaning of phrases in popular culture isn't always determined by strict literal definition.

Most people would interpret the phrase "I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going (def) con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE" to mean preparing to go to war or enter into conflict against, not preparing to defend against an attack from, jewish people.
> Starlink already offers unparalleled end-to-end user data encryption.

I don't understand this marketing. How would they possibly being doing E2E encryption? This is the wrong layer to be applying encryption at anyway.
But radix sort doesn't write randomly to the output array like that. Yes, each element ends up in the right place, but through a series of steps which each have better locality of reference than random writes.

In this way, radix sort is usually faster than an "omniscient sort" that simply scans over the input writing each element to its final location in the output array.
That's pretty sweet :)

I mean the dirt simple way would be to authenticate the user's account, return some JWT/cookie, and then when you make requests to the API, pair that token w/ the VIN. If the VIN doesn't belong to that token (or the token itself is invalid), 403 it.
And just why it is unlikely the PRC would attack the US first?

Today they don't want to destroy a big customer and part of their supply chain, but that price could be deemed low enough in all sorts of circumstances. The very high likelihood they'd get destroyed in return by our nuclear triad including manned bombers make the price including to the leaders much, much higher.
Why is Twitter allowed, but not TikTok? It seems like a Republican ploy to spread more right wing propaganda.
Well, for example, intro doesn’t say which SQL flavor the author is targeting. As a MSSQL user I wouldn’t want to share my email in exchange for MySQL tricks

Are you claiming that TikTok is able to track users and bypass mobile phones opt in requirements for location data ? Yes I know they can do course tracking based on IP address.

> I mean ludicrous that since 2009 it's Democratic thinking to bail out the banks, sweep inflation concerns under the rug,

Again, more ludicrous tribalism. The Great Recession bailout was all orchestrated under Bush. Trump famously was hounding Powell to lower rates before the pandemic, which would have had even more disastrous inflation consequences, just to make the stock market go up.
This can't be more secure than running encryption over cell right?

Nothing to be gained by being adversarial with him at this point. Blow some smoke up his ass, and he’ll continue to incriminate himself.
Yeah I have seen that sentiment in some of the subreddits, just not in professional circles in the Ethereum community.
The political bias from either party is unreal most of the times. It isn't exclusive to the left or right.
So far Matt hasn’t said anything about this, where is the evidence to this theory? And who was doing this and how?
This is great to see. In the future I hope it could be made even more flexible, e.g. to search & use others' filters, to customize filtered item appearance & location a bit more for a de facto filter-driven workflow, etc.

As the piece notes, Gaul and Spain were in the very early stages of that process, but the rest of the empire - the areas to the south, southeast, east, and northeast of the Mediterranean - all did. Greece was a comparative newcomer.

You can fruitfully think of administration as a phenomenon which originates in Egypt and Iraq and radiates outward from there.

Politely.. it’s very clear from this post that you don’t seem to have any background in anything business related.

None of those things are going to have any impact on the eventual outcome here.

I was pretty clear about the very specific problems they are facing and how any one of them individually is potentially fatal for them. Without solutions to those problems the end result is going to be the same it’s just the timeline that’s in question.
My thought exactly, seeing how Flutter has an output for the web that renders to canvas, bypassing everything entirely.

I suppose it’s the perils of automation, nobody at the newspaper is going to really spend that much time looking at the output of the script that generates the stock listings page. The stuff written by humans is probably far more in need of proof reading. Somewhere in the chain that autogenerates the page there’s probably a manually edited config file listing the stocks to be included on the page, and someone’s managed to put two entries mapping to TYO: 9432 in it.
I think you know what APIs are, CSERIAC is the Crew System Ergonomics Information Analysis Center, SDI is the Strategic Defence Initiative, and COTS means Commercial Off The Shelf, as in literally buying equipment from regular commercial vendors rather than doing the whole massive DoD contract thing.
That’s evidence that they applied their policies. There is no evidence that they applied these policies in order to favour Biden. I will happily accept evidence that they did it to favour Biden, if some is shown… but that has not happened yet.
If I recall correctly, in his paper on whether machines could think, Turing gives an imaginary dialogue with a computer trying to pass as a human (what we later came to call the Turing test) where the judge poses an arithmetic problem, and the computer replies after a pause of 30 seconds — with the wrong answer.
Not the original commenter, but our team has recently been dealing with this exact thing. It depends on the specifics of your use case, architecture, etc., but there is a lot of value in keeping application Terraform code in the same repo as your applications. The main benefit is that it's a simpler developer experience to make infrastructure changes related to their specific app. You can still have a big repo with a bunch of internal modules and core infrastructure code, but having the apps have their own infrastructure code can lead to developers having more autonomy in the DevOps process.

Indeed. Everyone says that they care about online security, but revealed preferences show that virtually nobody actually does.

To be honest, a lot of them seem to just copy from other scammers... I do wonder if it started off as this (and, potentially, to bypass spam filters in the early days, when many of them did face the keyword problem), but it's now simply a copy-and-paste job?
At first glance, that doesn't seem to support your claim. Could you point out why you think it does?

If I had to guess, it’s a trick to get people engaged.

There’s no link or request for money, so people probably respond more often.

I imagine like many areas of persuasion (like interrogation), getting someone to start talking is the “foot in the door” that starts to snow ball, even if it’s not about anything relevant.
Anyone have the 'long form' of this to read? Twitter is such a terrible way to read long content.

Aside: I really enjoyed Taibbi's few books, but haven't respected his online opinions since around 2016. I'm not surprised Elon chose Taibbi to 'break this story' considering what 'side' Taibbi's been on -- he's had a pretty clear bias, but I'm willing to check out more of his reporting here in long form.

It's also possible that some people just don't like the suppression of speech and ideas.
It seems the "foo" didn't come from that, but once "foo" was in wide adoption, the "bar" likely suggested itself automatically to someone familiar with "fubar".
This is a good point, this it something that has happened (I've personally witnessed) and probably still happens from time to time unless wikipedia has worked to stop that sort of abuse.

Long story short, about ten years ago, my recommendation of a specific search tool (shareaza) to a friend went south, since it was over the phone. I'd found telling people to use web searches didn't work out well, wikipedia on the other hand, usually had an up to date address -- I no longer recall what trouble it caused, but I spent some time wondering what malware was redirecting to the bogus software site -- there was none, it was the edited entry at wikipedia. (When I tried the bogus software I recall it looked like it was doing something, but in fact it was doing nothing as far as searching p2p networks. Being busy I wasn't interested to see what its objectives were before deleting.)
They actually check ID at many campgrounds and make sure it's the same person as the one reservation is made for. Generally they accept photo of reservation holder ID if (for example) you say that the person that reserved the campground will arrive later or got sick. Still pretty hard to impossible to scalp at scale - you can't change name in reservation, only cancel it (for fee).

They do not want to do auction because it will defeat purpose of camping be accessible to regular people. Outside of small number of highly popular campgrounds in prime season, you can book most campground in advance - very few campgrounds sells out in seconds.
> But your average individual also doesn't, and realistically won't, have the reach of corporate media. That's where their value lies: they are able to get stories out to millions of people and the recognition behind their name to give credibility to the reporting.

The irony of this is that the reach of corporate media is effectively deadened due to the reason that we’re having this discussion at all: the same outlets bely their own influence by publishing worthless content. In a world without corporate (news) media, there are still other ways to get news out through the wire.

Credibility is a good point, but speaks to a larger discussion on whether credibility in the media is based off of reputation, legacy, acolytes, accolades, etc?

At the end of the day, if the fall of corporate media effectively obliterates peoples will to “speak truth to power”, as the journalists like to say, then society is in pitiful shape and those whose will would disappear along with the Post, the Times and the Tribune lack integrity.
You are sane, they are insane, and you need a new position.

The remark of the elephant in Her Majesty's Servants (https://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/tale/her-majestys-servants....) is spot-on here: "I can see inside my head what will happen when a shell bursts; and you bullocks can’t."

The bullocks of course reply thus: "'But it [the blood] is not here,' said the camel and the bullocks. 'Why are you so stupid?'"
Canyonlands. This place is enormous, and the diversity of terrain is amazing. After visit Arches the day before and not loving it, I immediately fell in love with this place.

Rocky Mountain. I went just as the first snow was rolling in, and think this is a great place off season. Gets busy with better weather though from what I understand. YMMV.

Redwood. Not as wild, but great hikes in solitude and not crowded.

Olympic. The sheer scale of this place is incredible, and again the diversity is amazing.

I really wanted to go to Lassen Volcanic and North Cascades, which I believe will be similar, but weather and timing were not on my side.
Why does that site have a certificate (from LE) for "www.animadance.org"?

Since I found out about sqlite-utils being able to trivially put JSON into a sqlite database without needing to stop and write out a whole schema, I've used it a few times. In the process I did think to myself, "why isn't there anything that just lets me dump JSON into an endpoint?". I didn't get around to doing it, and I actually thought maybe it wasn't such a great idea if it hadn't been done yet, because it seemed so obvious. Glad to see I'm not crazy :)

The flexibility and ease of getting different output formats (including charts!) from Datasette is something I hadn't considered, and it looks amazing!
