Other comments point out that can overflow for some values.

However if you're doing mid-point in something like binary search where you already know y >= x AND x >= 0, then x + (y - x) / 2 is indeed a fine choice. It's a good one to remember.

100% this. The releases by the government, these sorts of stories. I am 100% convinced it's just to chase defense contracts and to justify further US federal spending on this.

Sometimes the stupidest reason is the reason. Especially when it comes to money.
I think that's a false economy.

Suppose a better infotainment system saves even one minute of time per day. Over a 300 day work-year, that's five hours of driver-work, valued on the order of $100 (at $20/hr). All other things being equal, $100 would go a long way in an infotainment BOM.

If this isn't being done for cost reasons, I expect it might be a result of bulk ordering. Rivian isn't a large car manufacturer, so it might not be ordering custom equipment from the manufacturers. If they have to compromise by taking an infotainment package wholesale from existing mass-production lines, then maybe there's no "$100-equivalent" upgrade on the market.
I'm implementing some faceting in a project I'm working on. I have some nested `jsonb` columns which include categorical variables (to quote this article).

The table is only 5 million rows and isn't likely to grow significantly, but it is not very wide.

The performance is okay and I was about to experiment with flattening out the table (putting all categorical vars into their own columns) and indexing that way vs. indexing JSONb paths.

I'm not super familiar with the postgres internals to know if this is better or worse so wondering if anyone could share any similar experience?!

It's a phrase describing the name found on your state identification.

I've listened to Corbett for some time and used to watch his videos prior to being silenced on several platforms. He does present himself in a manor that sounds like a conspiracy theorist which is unfortunate because he is actually one of the few decent investigative journalists that remain on the internet. I suspect he presents himself that way because it draws a bigger audience or perhaps it's just his personality. Either way, I appreciate that he does not ask permission from the Trusted News Initiative to speak.

I think this would be an interesting topic in and of itself. Why do investigative journalists that cover taboo or fringe topics end up sounding the way they do? Is it a reaction to the frustration of being silenced? Is it a quirk of a particular personality type? Or maybe it's me? Maybe I am so used to listening to corporate media that anyone who deviates from their presentation style just sounds a bit off?
I've seen stuff like that. Well in fact, nowhere near, but long names or last names. I did while working on some desktop implementation to interface with passport scanners.

Passport authorities will clearly not print the whole thing. So for a name like this you will end up with something like:

Adolph B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

As for the last name, I've never seen something like that but I figure they would put the whole thing in the annotations page of the passport along with a note or asterisk in the last name part of the MRZ. This can be seen in Indonesian or Indian passports due to the amalgamation of names based on regional customary.

So you could store a partial of the name on the last_name field and the rest on a standard text field for comments.

Women seek stability. Money is a requirement for that. Stability in the sense of their nature, a nature we must respect. For starters they will be the ones bearing the child, an event that in modern society will set their careers back, but in primitive society could mean their death if they were alone.
I did right before the pandemic coming back to NY from Germany on Lufthansa. I mean I am glad I did it just to have the experience, but you aren't really missing anything. I much prefer the 777. The 747, while having been updated over time, is still a 50 year old design at its core.

I have not flown on a 380, but the 777 is still my favorite plane to fly on, edging out the 787 even, though not by a whole lot- the increased comfort (higher pressure and humidity) in the cabin and reduced noise don't quite make up for the lack of spaciousness you feel inside a 777.

I personally have no desire to get on a 380, they just seem too big... like the tropey quote "They were so obsessed with whether they could, they didn't think of whether they should..." it just seems out of scale somehow.
There's no evidence that consciousness "sparks into being" at all. Self awareness probably needs something brain-like, but that's a different matter.

Matte ends up with lower contrast because it defuses light and washes things out, especially in bright light. I think LTT did a video a while ago showing that it was actually worse in bright light than a glossy screen.
While you're technically correct that the state does not pick the specific name you are given, in many cases they restrict which names you can register. Germany has restrictions on both given names and surnames. State-given name is a misnomer for the concept though, they should have said state-registered name.

In the proposed language (which isn't C!), that should produce an exception on overflow.

If you wanted it to wrap around, you could use an expression like "a = (a+1) % 256", or maybe something like Ada's modular types.

There's something upsetting to me about the latinization of languages that I can't quite put my finger on.

"It just looks wrong" is the best I can come up with, but I think it's that they tend to lose detail along the way.

Chinese pinyin is a good example - not only is it only an approximation of the actual sounds, there are so many homophones that you end up compressing tens of characters into one.
They do so, you can choose almost any free username out there. Telegram wants to popularize its side blockchain project called TON (which could make an ICO, due to SEC limitations). So they decided to utilize it by making an auction for l33t usernames. Today they launched virtual sim service on the same platform (https://fragment.com/numbers), so anyone can buy virtual number and create a Telegram account.

On don't buy that much on-line, unless I can't get the books from a local bookshop. My wife used to work for a publisher and loathes Amazon, so we buy new books from Barnes and Noble and used from The Strand, Alibris, or sometimes Powells. The last B&N purchase was a single novel (for the neighborhood book club), the last Alibris purchase was a couple of slim volumes by Philippa Foot.

Or, instead of spying on millions of individuals and then selling ad space based on the results of that illegal behavior, ad companies could do what they always did before which is identify venues that attract a certain audience and sell the ad space in front of those venues. For an ad company that also owns two of the biggest media websites in the world, this should not be a difficult problem.

The paper: "Noninvasive detection of any-stage cancer using free glycosaminoglycans"

I found the author's pointed lack of bothering to ask about pronouns when the subject of their investigation posts under different ly gendered pseudonyms; use of the words "normal people" and infiltrating a group only to neg them to be more problematic than anything.
The subject of the article might be a real shitheel. But the author doesnt do us any favours by cloaking themselves in being a Voice of the Normal while being themselves a shitheel.

And how did your parents became Mr. and Mrs. Smith? In all the countries the "family" name for the hoi polloi was mandated once the state consolidated. Before, your father's grand^x-father, who was a blacksmith, was simply known, for the Dunbar's number of people who knew him, as 'John, the blacksmith', maybe 'John, Mary's son' if there were two Johns around. Look at how most of the Scandinavian "family" names end in "sen" or "datter" meaning, well, son and daughter.

> Users already have a lot of control over what sort of content they view on the web.

This is true, but if you want to use most websites, you have to give up a lot of this control in order to have any sort of reasonable experience (reasonable for most people that is, not a reader of Hacker News).
I believe though the authors of the websites should have control on how the contents are displayed, it's still more convenient if the raw contents or the contents following a specific standard of delivery is provided. And that's what I did for my website, by providing markdown source via git and web.

You actually got RMS's point: There's no obligation for you to make a website for everyone, but you could provide more convenience and compatibility by not _only_ making a website which needs javascript enabled. It shouldn't be assumed that everyone favors javascript and likes to execute javascript code from everywhere.

One may argue that would be easy to be scraped by bots. That's another issue.

Friendships are built on a shared interest / shared activities, and frequent contact.

When you stop using the communication medium your friends use, then you just added friction to reach you, which stops frequent contact.

you slowly go from a friend to an old friend or a distant old friend.

There is a reason that when you move, its a lot harder to keep up with your old neighbors.
If it's urgent you usually don't ask for the price, you just want to be saved. Otherwise, you do what every civilized country does.

You compare the price of each procedure,then do them, go back with the results to doc, and repeat.

Those airframes were originally intended for delivery to a defunct Russian cargo airline.

Yeah, Latin characters are kind of limited in their sounds and few if any languages really experiment with them. Vietnamese is one of the few recent adopters I know of to add unique accent marks, although they still use the same character set.

One interesting thing is that as Cyrillic has spread, new local characters have been added depending on the language. Eg, Ukrainian has letters than Bulgarian doesn’t use. It’s pretty neat.
I'm not sure I understand the objection to the clamshell laptop here. You can easily close (or almost-close) the clamshell, add an external keyboard and/or an external monitor. The clamshell is exactly what the author describes from their Forever Computer, except that it also opens up to have a screen and keyboard that are usable if you need them.

Comments like yours remind me how everyone's life experience is different!

For various reasons, my family would fly back and forth between the U.S. and Europe, so I grew up flying thousands of miles a year on 747's.

The year I get married we decided to check out Israel, and flew twice! from NY -> Israel -> NY -> FL -> AZ -> NY -> ETC), with almost all legs on a 747.

In Phoenix I learnt to pilot a small plane, (and have sat in the pilot's seat of 747 without touching anything :)), and that's probably because of my rearing.

Pinyin (with tones) represents exactly as many distinct syllables as standard Mandarin has. Of course, Chinese isn’t a good example because indeed, many different characters sound the same.

For languages written with an alphabet, like Russian, there are romanization systems that exactly preserve all the available information.

And there is even Serbian, which can be (and is by native speakers) written in either Latin or Cyrillic, with a 1:1 correspondence between characters.

Russians are funding content with pretty much the same narrative which was summarized in the last phase of this article:

> the recent, nationalism-inspired wave of alphabet reform is a risky gambit with dubious benefits.

Completely unfounded, unsubstantiated closing statement with a threat it in. "Don't change your alphabet, you nationalists, or we will invade." Go chase your warship, russia.

Such articles with content nearly identical to this one pop up regularly, but it is the first time I am seeing it in English.
