I mean to add, the article says that thumb drives are still hot and the market will grow by billions a year more in a few years, but... I haven't used a thumb drive in years. The only time I actually went to look for one was to plug it into a shitty digital picture frame, and that one would also accept SD cards.

I, for one, find it very cool that two out of the five people named as authors are from my old university Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Chalmers have been very strong on functional programming for quite a while, being (or have been) home to many influential people. Apart from those named in this paper, I can name John Hughes (Haskell/QuickCheck), Thierry Coquand (Coq) and Ulf Norell (Agda) just from the top of my head.
British/english monarchy still has a few decades until its millennium (2066 and all that) but yes, "democracy or else" is remarkably reductive (I doubt the 2k+ representatives to this year's 二十大 went there if they weren't going to be voting on party business and positions, and on the other hand there are "good monarchies" just as in 1970 there were still "good fascists", so the categories might be worse than reductive; they could easily be mistaken).

I would rather blame ignorance than malice: western viewpoints are oversimplified because by and large we westerners do not care to learn about the important distinctions to be made. However, I suspect that will slowly change over the course of this century. (In 1985, it only took the G5 to have enough corner to manipulate the exchange rate of the USD. Today it would probably take almost the entire G20 to do so.) Pushing my thumbs that it will change for the better.
IntelliJ's "darcula" theme is the only dark mode I like cause it's a nice light grey rather than black.

Unfortunately with their recent redesign, the new default dark theme has joined the rest of the crowd with being way too dark, but thankfully darcula is still an option in settings.
I think the issue is that people are adjusting what they see on screen instead of adjusting their environment (i.e. room lighting), even when they are totally able to do it.

A dark mode could make it bearable to work in poor light conditions but won't improve on the fact that it's already a non-optimal environment.

That reminds me, I don't remember if it was USB 1 or 2, but at some point I added a card to my PC that added two USB ports. I think that must've been USB 2.0 because the sockets were blue and I'm fairly sure I could hook up my keyboard and mouse through USB already.

The poster puts over 1100 characters in one of the posts, while the default Mastodon server limits to 500 characters. It may be more about images - I think there's a default maximum of 4 images per post, so overall it kind of makes sense to tie each post's text with the matching image(s).
The IO-360 is actually a fairly efficient engine when run properly. Similar to Ford’s ecoboost line per https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-specific_fuel_consumpt... (The -720 is basically equivalent design to a -360 just doubled). Airplanes use a lot of fuel because air resistance varies with v^2, not because of poor engine design.

Sure there have been improvements in modern engines, but these primarily target efficiency across power outputs whereas (as sibling noted) planes tend to have stable power requirements.

Not sure what your point is about constant speed or gearing because I already said that.
Yeah, there are multiple interpretations possible of such a situation; my describing this kind of situation in the context of a discussion of counter-signalling biases our interpretation.

I'm not talking about what the identity is based on. I'm talking about what the identity itself is. I think this is useful to help clarify the difference between "X has the identity Y" and "X is Y" which otherwise seem very similar. The former means that "someone believes (or many people believe) that X is Y".
Exactly this. Lycoming engineers weren’t stupid, and airplane engines are well-designed within the (admittedly potentially contrived) direct drive constraint.
Your comment is rooted so far into car centrism it's hard for me to read through such a different lens. We see the world, very, very differently. That makes for an interesting conversation I guess. I have cars, I am a car enthusiast even. I use roads. But I also know there's people in the city who don't drive, and for them life is still dominated by cars. Sometimes that's me, sometimes I'm in my car.

Every sliver of spare space in our cities has been claimed by car infrastructure, and that's not fair to every other possible way to live. I'm not suggesting we remove roads, but we can do better than this for everyone else in cities.

> Arguing that cyclists pay taxes which are used to fund roads and so should have this major infrastructure project funded just for them

I only drive on a handful of roads, but I'm happy to fund all the others because other people do. That's exactly the same position cycle/pedestrians are in, they pay taxes too so why can't the community cater a little bit to them as well? People far and away pay for more car roads they'll never use than they ever will bike lanes they don't use.

My taxes go to many things I don't use and that's fine, because that's how communities work. I'm even glad we're building a car super-highway project because it'll improve commutes for people who do drive. It's fine to drive, I'm not against it.

I get it, we're not going to be paying for bike highways in suburbia where there aren't even footpaths for walking, because it's so far entrenched that no-one is even trying to walk or ride. But there are so many places in our cities that with just a bit of planning we could have catered to both cars and peds/cyclists at the same time.

> would you rather see it used or see it dog slow trying to load UI components from disk?

Are those the only two options?

In any case the memory is technically "used" when dog slow trying to load UI components from disk. It is just not used until that happens. Reminds me of those applications from the dialup days that would "speed up your internet" by loading every link on a page in the background in case you click one of them. In practice they often slowed down your internet by misusing your bandwidth.

Despite what you imply, and despite my own expectations, in actual usage I have observed that the greater the memory requirements of a desktop environment, the laggier it is likely to be in terms of responding to my input. Perhaps it is a mistake to assume that desktop environments' increased memory usage is devoted entirely to readying UI components that would otherwise be stored on disk.
> compare

Exactly. Which one "/seems/ to make sense" and which one has the "juice".

Also: are you insinuating anything? Do you believe your post is appropriate?

Edit: but very clearly you misunderstood my post: not only as you suggest with your (very avoidable) expression, but also in fact. Because my point implied that "a good intellectual proposal should not happen by chance": modules should be implemented for it. Even if S (for Simplicius) said something doubtful - which is found copiously even in our already "selected" pages -, and engine E constructed something which /reports/ some insight, that would be chancey, random, irrelevant - not the way we are supposed to build things.

Surely the theory is not about sitting at the fire, but about being able to quickly transition between fire and darkness.

You can run the following snippet in the console:

}
return i;
}

On the problem of distinguishing a bot from a human, I suggest the following podcast episode from Cautionary Tales [1]. I found it both enjoyable and interesting, as it shows an interesting point of view about the matter: if we already had bots that passed as humans long ago, is because we are often bad at conversations, not necessarily because the bot is extremely good at it (and indeed in most cases it isn't).

> Merely Binance's opinion expressed on Mazar's letterhead.

This alone is at least a gray area, ethically, and not necessarily in just this case.

In this particular case, it has made it possible for Binance’s chief strategy officer, Patrick Hillmann, to say things which he subsequently described as “parroting others’ descriptions of this as an independent audit.” Mazar's response so far: "No comment."
The UK's HS2 rail system will likely cost more than £42bn to join London and Birmingham (with a bit of an extension to Crewe.)

$25bn for a working moon shot is pretty good value in comparison.
I agree that new plastic sale ought to include the cost of disposal.

I wonder if anyone has calculated approximately what that cost might be. I suspect it would make plastic much less attractive than it currently is. Which would, I guess, result in significantly less plastic use. Which is good, because plastic recycling is not an answer, it's basically a myth, it's not affordable, it's not currently hardly done (which actually makes it hard to estimate what the cost would be to include as a 'tax' in original price -- we don't actually have the infrastructure available to reclaim and sort and do all that recycling. What the cost would be is kind of a guess).

We need to significantly reduce plastic use, recycling isn't really the answer.

Now, if including cost of recycling in all plastic sales also would be likely to result in a giant economic recession, that's a problem to solve too.

(I am not arguing for continued plastic use the way we do now. I agree the cost of recycling should be borne by original sales. I am however saying that this is not in fact a simple fix and recycling is probably not the answer, at least not in the present environment. Perhaps if we invent more recyclable types of plastic, use fewer kinds of plastic to make them easier to reclaim/sort, etc. And use a lot less plastic).

I'm sure police will understand when they stop you with 15k euros in your backpack and no justification for it.

No, they are not.

Privacy is closing the door when you go to the bathroom, what you are talking about is secrecy.

Which is why the CIA is called a secret service and not a privacy service.

To commit crimes unpunished, you need secrecy.

Interestingly, monkeys do understand that, some people don't.

> Very obvious, it is expected that criminals be on FB and Tw and smile at Sino-Thatcherian cameras etc.

Cavitation isn't just a noise problem; it also causes damage to the blades. The forces on the blade are surprisingly strong. When a propeller has been experiencing cavitation, you can see the pitting on it, almost like you hit it with a pointy hammer. If it continues, cavitation can seriously weaken the blades.
> Using gas for 500 hours a year while storage matures is definitely worse than using coal and sitting on your thumbs for 20 years while an EPR is built. Very nice non-cherry-picked example.

Germany is ramping up coal while their renewable struggle to meet demand, currently running at 31GW of coal.
France have less than 2GW of coal ?!?

> Using gas for 500 hours a year

This one is straight up a lie.
Less than 50% of germany energy mix come from renewable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Germany#/m...
500h of gaz is so far from what is happening.

> 200-400GW nameplate at current calacity factors

Today at midday, solar+wind load factor is about 6%.
Your 400GW of installed solar+wind doesn't cover half of what coal+gas currently produce, which is 42GW.
Again there is a basic math issues in the solution you are proposing.

That's clever, and I just understand after a while.

Now let's say that your website will show the ip of whoever visit it, in one of textbox. When you access it it shows your ip. When the proxy sever access it it shows the proxy sever's ip. When you access the proxy site, the proxy site will access your site, having their ip on one of the text box, then return the page with their ip to you.

The more advanced method is to encrypt the ip and put it hidden somewhere, on later for you to decrypt it, get the ip and black list them.

America exports a lot of plastic to countries that dispose of it problematically. (while pretending it's going to be recycled). Less since China stopped taking it to dispose of much of it problematically.

I agree we should stop. Perhaps we are the corrupt country who exports it's waste to places where disposal is controlled by gangsters. Supply and demand.

Why don't we just put all that garbage into big pits domestically, instead of exporting it? I guess you need to convince voters to like this solution better. I think it's important that we don't just dump the trash in poor and politically unpowerful neighborhoods and regions to (which is kind of what we do now, just internationally).

"Sure it might produce convincing examples of human speech, but it fundamentally lacks an internal point of view that it can express..."

Sounds just like the chess experts from 30 years ago. Their belief at the time was that computers were good at tactical chess, but had no idea how to make a plan. And Go would be impossible for computers, due to the branching factor. Humans would always be better, because they could plan.

GPT (or a future successor) might not be able to have "an internal point of view". But it might not matter.

Ask HN: What are some good Christmas gifts for Software Engineering teams?
I have a budget of €250 per person for Christmas gifts for my software engineering team. Every year they get some fancy gadget, but this year I want to gift them something different that they can use along with their family, friends or even on their own. Only criteria is it has to be an experience that is relaxing for mind and body.

Few ideas I have in mind:
1. Voucher for a spa retreat.
2. A night stay in a forest resort.
3. Voucher for cooking classes.

Any recommendation is greatly appreciated. Thanking you.

Except perhaps that you want to seen in certain way without living it. E.g. look like a rockstar without being one. Why take the risks of adventurous life you can just buy a tatoo with the money from your IT job. Just another form pf consumption. Of course all depends on tatoo, I'm talking about your typical tatooed dude from western country.

Isn’t it telling that this work wasn’t done by the “big four?”

Given that the Big Four like money and are ostensibly the biggest and oldest and with the best reputation. Any perceived shaky but actually strong firm would come out gangbusters with “Old Accounting firm stakes its reputation that we aren’t full of shit.”

After the death/execution/seppuku of Anderson after Enron, the remaining four seem extra conservative these days so they would likely only take on a job if it was reputable. Even if it means hundreds of millions of dollars in fees.
