> Anyway, cosmology is a weird topic which not only HN reveals tons of arrogance over. Lots of misplaced skepticism. (Probably similar to the Covid topic.)

It's the curse of being clever. People believe that since they're clever and were able to be successful at what they do, it must be that all other topics are similarly easy. And with easy access (via the internet) to the most basic introductions for lay people to any topic, the Dunning Kruger effect really kicks in.

The more clever you are, the easier it is to fall into this trap. example: "Buy twitter and solve all its problems myself".
Surely you could recreate the experience using for example meetup?
It is a bit weird, and seems to come from a history of fossil fuel, nuclear, and/or hydropower where the total capacity is always some (very large) multiple of the instantaneous power level.

With storage currently just supplementing other power sources as renewables aren’t the majority (or all) of available capacity to provide grid stability, it makes sense I guess. None of these battery storage systems need to provide meaningful load beyond a few hours now.

Hard to imagine that won’t change at some point though, probably soonish?
I've only used tmux for about <year now but I immensely enjoy it.

One of my favorite scripts to run is a tmux script that creates a new session with about 7 windows of running my company's project (one window for notes, 3 windows for the backend (runner, code, tests), and 3 windows for the client (runner, code, tests). It's even tweaked further to open up the code in vim, and when used in conjunction with something like harpoon.nvim I have access to my most used files with a few keystrokes. I now create similar scripts for all projects I work on for lengthy periods.

One script builds and runs the environment in the way I prefer to work. Tailored to my taste, for me.

Probably the best advice that I always took to heart was a co worker telling me to "just learn the command line." He really took the phrase "learn your tools" seriously. Now, after some decent experience, I finally feel like I have a decent box of specialty tools when heading to any job site.
Since phones are now the primary computing device for most people, is it really a "2nd factor" though?
Zig? I think it ticks all the boxes.

Fair point. My numbers are probably off on everything now.

Before the 2020s era inflation you could definitely pick up a mens one used for $2k, like a Datejust model for example.

Likewise a $70k car is neither particularly rare or exotic now with how much the average car price has been pushed up by big trucks and EVs.
That's not the topic here.

It was someone deciding they don't have to listen or act about something because they chose to label it usability.

That's actual mechanics of what went down. It's just a game here. A retreat to abstractions doesn't change that.

I'm not here to scold people but I also don't like nonsense
It does seem to learn during the session but it forgets what it has learned afterwards. I noticed this when I made a request in Dutch to which it replied in kind albeit with a grammatical error. I pointed out this error and showed it the correct form to which it replied by thanking me after which it consistently used the correct form during that session. When I reset the session and asked the same question it came back with more or less the same reply including the grammatical error.
I create a todo list of these right now and move the ones I’m most excited about to the top of the list. The caveat is that I’ve created a lot of things I personally use frequently but not a lot of other people use them and/or I haven’t monetized them.

I keep minor details in the todo notes and move to Nolific (one of mine) when I have more to say.

Once you understand the domain you're working on and you've architectured your solution in a way that makes sense, only then naming in your code will get right and without much additional effort. Forget about naming, it is a side effect of your understanding of the issue at hand.
There’s no surer sign of a hatchet job than when someone is criticized for once uttering a sentence in which Hitler is mentioned unfavorably, but the criticism is for them not being unfavorable enough. There’s no defense from that accusation, since there’s always a stronger word they could have applied to Hitler. It’s a lazy hatchet job smear.

It’s especially lazy in this instance given that the quoted sentence (and other instances in the article) seems to imply some actual verified antisemitism by Dahl, but this is hardly mentioned.

The article seems instead to want to concentrate on finding misogyny, but it can only find some very thin suggestions. Racism is also mentioned, but only briefly.

For American “literate”language favored by artists and elites:

Avid book readers of classic and Early Modern English literature have a much wider and expressive vocabulary, and are more likely to pepper their speech with socially-accepted literary references.

But for richer American language:

I especially love the colloquialism, grammar and accents across the American regions. They’re so vibrant, punchy and exciting. This is best experienced in person when traveling and stopping into local restaurants but can also be found in literature, music and social media as well but it requires effort to find which it what makes it fun.

In my case, I ask myself a question like what does a 40 year old blue class worker from New Jersey or a 19 year old Floridian rapper sound like, then the hunt is afoot.

Elites find local speech ignorant but I find it mesmerizing - a radiant, colorful flower in a sea of sameness.

Interestingly, it’s also becoming somewhat common to dam off (concrete-fence-off?) the entire top of a hill somewhere for pumped hydro. Essentially the opposite of what you’d do for a hydropower installation.

I've done three money makers... the thing all have in common is I showed someone something I was working on, and they said they'd buy it:

1. I wrote some embedded software and got paid a royalty on every device shipped. Wasn't much per device, but it added up to thousands per year for about 20 years.

2. Started a niche credit card processor and it's made money for 15 years.

3. Put a bunch of T-shirt designs (featuring silly cartoons for error messages) on craft sites. It made money, but fashion burns out quickly compared to code.

Right now, I'm working on something I've always wanted to do, and haven't had time for since the early 90s... writing a game. We'll see how it goes.

That's rather tangential to my point, which is the phrase "twice as cold" as used here is tricky to interpret.

What does "twice as cold" mean? In the US, is -2°F twice as cold as -1°F?

Yet that's only -18.33°F to -18.89°F, so only 0.3% colder if you change temperature scale.

Is 16°F twice as cold as 32°F? Or half as warm?

Is -10C infinitely colder than 0C?

I used Kelvin as an example of how the ratio depends on the scale chosen, not because it's popular.

Note that Rankin (Rankin is to Fahrenheit as Kelvin is to Celsius) would give the same answer as Kelvin - both Rankin and Kelvin are absolute scales of temperature, and would better candidates for defining what "twice as cold" means.

(Though even better would be to say "half has hot".)

However, I was not saying that we should all use Kelvin, only that the phrase is tricky to interpret.

Yes. Macrovision works by interfering with primitive auto-gain circuits. This would easily defeat it.

You can also ignore macrovision if you have an older deck with manual gain.

Apple ought to be able to determine these concentrations/pathways of known-stolen phones with a query to whatever database backs Find My.

The query may be easy for the most-egregious operators.

It may be in Apple's interest to look for them, too. "Don't steal Apple phones. A trillion dollar company will pay a data scientist to bust you at scale."
Yes, in any cohort of investors, by nature some random sample or going to outperform in any given year. In fact, statistically the concept of "hot hands" will rear its head because.. some subset of the outperformers will actually outperform over multiple years.

It may be skill, it may be luck, or it may be both.

But consider that this outperformance & hot-hand phenomenon can be replicated even in purely random games like coin flipping.

So sometimes taking the "winners" and trying to craft narratives of why they succeeded and what you should do to replicate them is a silly game.

Agreed, I think it was just a matter of being originally developed at a time when memory was tight and CPU cycles were few. That is, if the original UNIX were developed today with otherwise the same development culture, I'm not sure that we'd see fixed length restrictions.

One of GNU's original goals was eliminating arbitrary fixed size limits in UNIX tools, in exchange for using more memory. It's discussed in https://www.gnu.org/gnu/thegnuproject.en.html under "Technical goals".

> But it was natural to apply the known standards of good practice to the work—for example, dynamically allocating data structures to avoid arbitrary fixed size limits, and handling all the possible 8-bit codes wherever that made sense.

> In addition, we rejected the Unix focus on small memory size, by deciding not to support 16-bit machines (it was clear that 32-bit machines would be the norm by the time the GNU system was finished), and to make no effort to reduce memory usage unless it exceeded a megabyte.
> Maybe we'll even see quadruple pumping for AVX-512 some day?
> can allow AVX-512 to sort of act like SVE, but with the benefits of a fixed size architecture (i.e., shuffles); compile one set of code and you're able to run it anywhere, with performance dictated by how much the vendor decided was worth investing into the vector units

That makes a lot of sense. It's basically the equivalent of RISC-V's LMUL=4, with the big advantage of reducing instruction count as you say. That seems a better route than 4x128, which might actually be less in practice if there are resource conflicts.

That's awesome, congrats on the good result. Looks like your preference is to allow people to write high-level code without much worry about the arch details. Any thoughts on how we can spread awareness of the basics such as data-oriented programming (avoiding branches, optimizing for cache and contiguous memory accesses)?

So like 3 people...

My point is talking about Kelvin is meaningless to the vast majority of people on HN, including myself. Everyone (Except the US) knows Celsius, and it's easy to gague how cold something is looking at it in Celsius. In Kelvin its just 'ok that's a number...'
Injuries usually build gradually through many repetitions of bad form. While free weights can push joints into unhealthy stretches the bands are more likely to pull the joints into bad form. It requires a firm suppression of ego as regular discipline to avoid this.

Gaining some minimal muscle is likely possible with increasingly heavy bands, so long as the above caution about form is heeded.
The issue in the UK is that the Police suffers from scope creep. The UK police force has been criticized for expanding its scope to include enforcing anti-hate crime laws and investigating "non-crime hate incidents." (hard to believe that the country that gave us Orwell came up with that phrase). This has diverted resources from more important tasks and led to the allocation of time and money towards activities such as painting their cars in rainbows and raising pride flags in public ceremonies.

Whatever you think of those side-activities, I'm sure fewer people would have any problem with them if they were confident that their possessions would be recovered if stolen (and more important crimes prosecuted).
European Parliament VP in Prison
I once liked Go a lot, then over time got frustrated by few things and moved on. Now I'm all about "Rust is the best thing since sliced bread!"

I find it a bit hard to understand why people are critizing Go "yaddayadda oh how wrong this decision is yaddayadda". Like, who cares. Let them do how they like it. Nobody is forcing anyone to use the language.

Go's design decisions are not a universally applicable law or anything that you must follow even if you don't like them. I mean, if you're using the language and dislike this decision, then it's a bit different story and I think you should influence the change through the official channels. Probably you've done it already.

Fact of the matter is that there are TONS of people out there (and here too) who agree with those decisions, keep using the language and enjoy it. And for that I'm happy for Go!
One trick I employ for language acquisition: as a native X-speaker, I often encounter native-Y speakers making mistake Z in my mother tongue. When I remember to do so, a little googling at home often reveals that a light retro-translation of Z is indeed the proper (sometimes even a refined) construction in Y.

OpenShot 3.0 Released – Stability, Performance, and Usability
I feel qualified, because I’ve been a SWE for 20 years, have worked in lots of domains (including web, sometime ago) and so I feel I am able to draw comparisons.

Not for nothing, but when I wrote a couple of web apps recently (most recently a market monitoring tool and a physics simulation in wasm and webgl for rendering), I tried different frameworks, but always ended up dropping them. The end result is snappy and fits in kilobytes, and the freaking back button works.

I did of course use some libraries for rendering things like graphviz. I am not a crazy person. But I fail to see what value e.g. react.js* adds, or why there are libraries to wrap websockets.

* For react specifically, I can actually imagine scenarios where it’s useful, but in practice, 95% of places where it’s used should have probably just been HTML with some minor JavaScript for bits of interactivity.
The secret to wrapping errors is the erros.As and errors.Is special interfaces called out only in the documentation: https://pkg.go.dev/errors#Is

You must build a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to ensure these special interfaces don't hit an infinite loop.

To stop the infinite loop cycles, and actually implement a DAG, I marked visited nodes and returned `false` if the nodes were already marked.

Plenty of people 'profiting' on the wealth of their parents, grandparents, etc. when they themselves have never worked a day in their life and don't have much knowledge of anything.

Inherited wealth is an obvious contradiction to the meritocracy that so many people believe we live within today.

I went with a lazy way to digitalize old VHS/VHS-C tapes. Bought a Panasonic DMR-EX99V [0] which is a DVD/HDD/VHS/TV tuner combo in one. That was the last model Panasonic made and it also has an HDMI output. So basically I recorded all the VHS to the internal HDD > then just moved them to the PC through the DVD recorder. It has a USB port but unfortunately you can't access the raw recorded files on the HDD that's why the DVD > PC step is needed. I'm not an expert probably someone could hack it to gain access... Anyways it was one of the better purchases I've made. Works perfectly and so far no problems at all. And it just works hence why I said lazy at the beginning, simple system with good quality.

If the court ruled that the work is not creative or unique enough to qualify for copyright protection, then why does it matter that the work was not registered with a copyright office? The implication of this would be that foreign artists would have more legal protection and rights in Luxembourg than Luxembourgers.

It's also fairly possible to demonstrate that it's a derivative work and that the artist would have had to have used the photo as a reference because the painting is a 1:1 reproduction of the photo, it's actually impressive how well it's reproduced. Flashing image warning: https://i.imgur.com/RERFdBZ.gif

As a nitpick, in this post you're saying it's a derived work but in a child comment you're saying it's a transformative work so it's not 'pure copyright infringement'. In pretty much every country, producing a painting using a reference photo is derivative and is 100% covered by copyright law to the point that it's the example legal scholars use to demonstrate what a derivative work is. It cannot be the case that the photographer can sue for revenue on the painting without it being a copyright violation because that's the legal mechanism for which the photographer has any rights to sue the painter. However that's not the case here, because the court ruled that the photographer has no rights or protection under copyright law because the photo was found to lack the creativity or uniqueness to be afforded protections by copyright law.

As far as 'transformative' goes, it's not a concept that exists in my European countries legislation, but it's a term legal scholars use to demonstrate when a derivative work can be considered fair use using vaguely defined terms such as whether the work substantially changes the 'meaning', 'emotion', or 'aesthetic' of a work, and examples of this are things like reviews or criticism of a work (e.g., movie) or things like a parody. Merely reproducing a photograph is not considered transformative enough to be considered fair use, and even making substantial changes to the photograph may not make it transformative enough to be considered fair use, much like taking a photo of an artwork is not transformative, producing a movie from a book is not transformative, transcribing music is not transformative, etc.

The mass market for consumer printers probably wants (1) a cheaper price, (2) compatibility with Windows/macOS/Android/iOS, and (3) features.

They also care about, but won't know/weigh at purchase time: (4) longevity and (5) cheap ink.

I'd hazard if you told customers they could have all the above, but had to install and run a rootkit driver... you'd still have a very successful product on your hands. As long as the driver install was easy enough.

A guy bought a house in berlin. In cash. Actual cash. Nobody suspected anything because in Germany, cash is king. Of course there was money laundering, tax avoidance and all the common suspects on it.
For most people with regular employment, filing taxes in Germany is completely unnecessary because employers and banks withhold and pay them directly.

There are some tax benefits which are only accessible if you file taxes but if you don't want to take advantage of these tax benefits you don't have to file them. In general you also get 5 years to do it.
