In the long run, you would likely have metal corrosion issues. Everything eventually dissolves, at least a little, it just takes a long time. Heat and moisture "forever" is a rough environment for metal. Consider metal parts dipped in a tropical ocean for decades, or the parts inside a nuclear reactor or steam plant. This is probably why you tend to hear about pH neutral broths and such instead of perpetual lemonade or perpetual pickles.

If you heat oils long enough they'll polymerize just like putting finish on cast iron. It might take 100 years instead of 100 hours but it'll polymerize eventually. The rancid taste can be avoided by serving fast enough that the average age of the food is reasonable. In general, with good mixing and fast serving, it can't get much worse than a couple days old even if the long tail is theoretically a century old. The whole topic is a good intro to distribution curve shape.

A perspective comment: Many people do this without thinking about it. I have a tin container I've been adding dry looseleaf tea to for perhaps a quarter century. I do try to run it out completely between adding batches of newer tea, but I'm sure there's some dust in there from the last century and its been in continuous use since then. My grandma had a perpetual dry granulated sugar covered dish, and a perpetual salt shaker on the table.
Some boxes come with systemd, which has its own scheduler, but not cron. This is not a big deal but I was somewhat confused the first time I saw it.
That's why I like the other TDD, type driven development. Lay out all your types and make unwanted states literally unrepresentable. For example, if you're making an email sending service, you can have an EmailAddress type that is represented underneath by a string and the only way you can instantiate a new EmailAddress is via the constructor function which will take a string, parse it and validate it as an email, and if it works, it returns the EmailAddress type, otherwise it returns None (if you're using a Result typed language). And the sender function only accepts an EmailAddress, not a string, so if your EmailAddress constructor returns None, you literally can't send the email, by design.

If you haven't made five mistakes before noon, you aren't really trying (or learning). I'm 57 and you just have to do stuff, at great speed, and err too. OK, so I'm also gone through about 4 career changes... and been a big advocate for inventing.

Long story short. You won't invent anything if you are afraid of laughing and being laughed at.

Oh, and I'm a named inventor on a dozen patents and patent applications. How do you think Edison got through it, if he was worried about stuff not working?

Also, I've been fired a few times. Sometimes those were the best times. I shit you not.

Because it is trivial to turn any image codec into a video codec by simply encoding each frame individually, and despite the article talking about temporal redundancy, doesn't actually attempt to show any code that deals with that.
As a tavern owner, one might be prone to neutrality. One king is as good as another, as long as they leave you alone.

In dramatizations of wars we always see an army taking over a village and sucking it dry, but I suspect there would be some overlap of tavern locations and 'tactically bad places to get caught by the enemy', such that the officers might volunteer you for a free meal and then move on before enemy scouts tattle on your whereabouts. Certainly somewhere in the world there are roadhouses located in kill boxes and thus have operated independently and unimpeded for generations.
Okay and?

> You can't pay for Prime Video separately.

I'm not sure that I would be willing to pay for it separately. It has some good shows but not an astounding amount.

The interface is hot garbage that tries to upsell additional pay-for content and streaming services like Starz. Unless you know what you're looking for and go in with surgical precision, you get bogged down in a morass of upcharges.

They also started intermixing free-with-ads content and making it difficult to distinguish. My kid has started a couple movies only to get lambasted with ads every 15 mins and becoming thoroughly upset.

LZ4 and ZStd were started by Yann Collet (the main author) quite some time before he was hired by Facebook/Meta.

They could also use software to nerf the instant torque. I'd probably leave my car in "tire save" mode most of the time. I leave it in eco mode, but even with that, it's on track to eat a premium set of tires every 15-20k miles(!).

It was awful.
What I don't understand is why can't we just grow the Almonds in Georgia or Virginia? Both states have amazing soil and tons of water. Are Almonds that much harder to farm than peanuts and pecans?

I'm genuinely curious I only know how to grow hydroponic herbs like basil, so I have very limited knowledge of this stuff.
What is the "wet-argument"?

I was a competitive swimmer in high school. We had practice twice a day, and would always get pissed whenever we got a paper cut.

Because we never let the cut fully dry out and have a scab form, small cuts would take MONTHS to heal, and often result in scars when they shouldn't have.

Because of that I always assumed, dry conditions were ideal for healing.
Small spaces bring hard surfaces closer to the mic, making flutter echoes and room mode resonances louder, create murky-sounding bass pooling, and can be overly-sensitive to mic position within the space; you can sound oddly different without warning.

You need to absorb the sound of your voice so there is less echo by baffling material on the back of the mic, and absorb room tone and echoes in the area the directional microphone is pointed, generally behind your head. Small spaces have only disadvantages as studios.

To take advantage of a reach-in closet full of clothes, put some pillows on the shelf over the clothes, take the closet doors off, and back into the closet as much as you can. In this way the microphone is primarily listening to the baffled sound inside the closet, and you can avoid bass pooling by speaking into the room—ideally with baffling material (e.g. see http://PillowFortStudios.com/ ) ON the back of a LDC microphone.
This requires contact information at the end, there seems to be no way to get results without them being emailed.

I wonder if the opposite side of imposter syndrome is old experienced people seeing young talented folks come one board and thinking "how did we convince these young kids to give up startups and meaningful jobs and their youth to work here at this slower moving large company?"

Also, bigger companies realize younger (cheaper?) folks are to be trained and integrated and they will start incrementally producing more and more over decades.

As to imposter syndrome - it is a real feeling, and if you give into it correctly it will be the push you need to achieve something that the next crowd of incoming folks will look up to.

> I also do not understand why people complain about having the choice to not pay for things they do not want to watch.

Are you a sports fan? Because sports fans don't have the choice to not pay for things they do not want to watch. If you want a sports package, you usually have to buy it as an add-on to the base package, even if there's not a single show you want to watch on the base package.
Because they can’t do that without proving wrongdoing?
Google Apps Script and Browserflow are two of my favorites.
Getting a GCP or AWS VM is a solid approach too; both have reasonable free-tiers.
And as an alternative to cron, the Python `schedule` library is nice too.
Finally if you don't mind some down time, running it on your laptop might be fine.
Supervisord is a solid tool for keeping jobs running / restarting them on error.

I'm actively using all of the above approaches.
Energy return on investment. Some oil extraction is currently at EROI=10, assuming EROI and Q can be made to be the same concept. Higher than EROI=50 is unheard of today, even 40 is pretty rare. EROI for this fusion method would be ~0.015.

The worst fusion methods scales with the cube of the radius of the area that can be made to fuse. So we "only" have to get a 10x bigger area to fuse, or have the same area fuse for 10x longer (and make the facility not blow up or melt down from doing that).

Working fusion is surprisingly close.

Curious as well. The past twenty years have shown that very few useful things remain free when they can be monetized. Maybe the basic version is still free as it assists with training, but you can bet the bottom dollar that there will be an "improved" version that is absolutely charged out.
Well what I meant there was just that the framework doesn't take care of that for you, you need a third-party library.
Ask HN: How to make being bored more fun (for kids)?
With my now 9yr old, I have agreed on the following rule. Whenever I see sign that she’s getting bored, we start a timer and she has to wait it out for 20min. Obviously, whenever that’s the case, she can get frustrated which I understand. No one likes being bored.

But it seems to work. Today, she showed me a mailbox she has build for in-house family mails. That’s such a great idea. The intervention seems to work. Instead of her first instinct to ask for the iPad or some TV time (“someone please entertain me!”), she has been creative. And she seems to understand the concept behind our rule.

I was wondering what you do when your kids get bored or how you deal with it yourself? How much time does it take from boredom to creativity?
While delivery formats often use P- and B-frames, editing and recording formats often go all-intra. e.g., the Sony FS7 only supports all-intra XAVC-I for recording at full resolution and framerate.

Personally, I use ProRes 422 for recording, and DNxHD/DNxHR for proxies (and that's only because DaVinci Resolve's free edition can't create ProRes Proxies).

Both of these codecs are all-intra formats in mpeg containers.
And therefore the location was within range of the WiFi network, not really netting a privacy gain, if at all? Especially since SSID databases exist and are used for more accurate location detection.
The whole Twitter dustup is kind of between fsc and SD.. the TOS didnt ban promoting the "banned" platforms, you just had to pay for it. This seems indecent but you can still do it.

There is legal and practical ownership and they differ in practice.

So imagine Bank of America issues a mortgage. They don’t want to keep the risk on their balance sheet so they create a mortgage backed security with 1000 other mortgages. Then they sell that to Goldman Sachs who in turn sells it to Lehman, but not the full portfolio only a portio, say tiers 8-10 of 10. In order to “facilitate liquidity” and “market efficiency” they wouldn’t document every transaction on the local county register of deeds. They would “trade” the securities by sending each other spreadsheets and hopefully “record” the transaction with a 3rd party like MERS. But when 2008 hit it often required going to court to fight out who owned what. Worse lots of homeowners ended up being foreclosed on because their payments didn’t go to the right owner on file.

So yes, the legal title is recognized by a written record held by the government, the market implementation adds layers on top to facilitate trading the paper.
interesting, it depends on which is more important: saving space or saving time. I never used LZ4 but I'm interested more in speed for some products, will use it in the future.
> As non-author of any work, you can't relicense it no matter how permissive the license is.

There are some licenses such as MIT where you can. But GPL is very much the code has to be GPL. But I also think it infects your code and forces your code to be GPL, but that may only be if you make a modification and change it and not just use GPL code within your code.

There's actually an elementary litmus test on migrating to monorepos. It is a questionnaire with only one question: is your company Google? If the answer is "no" — you don't need a monorepo.

I don’t think this person actually has much experience with local governance in the US, because collectivized responsibility and mutual aid is a hallmark of basically every local government I’ve experienced, across the US.

Pass the guacymolo.

As an aside, “You're not with us, so it's not our problem” could better be stated as “you organized your entire life around not contributing to the collective welfare by dodging taxes in unincorporated land, then not contributing to the fire brigade.” The state should not incentivize people to engage in the worst antisocial behavior, and giving services to tax dodgers who should know better is a seriously misaligned incentive.

> I also do not understand why people complain about having the choice to not pay for things they do not want to watch.

This description works if you skip straight from the age of cable packages to the current day. That's missing a lot though. From the point of view of someone who hasn't made a quantum leap forward, publisher specific streaming services drove adoption by taking things away from viewers.

If I used to be able to watch something on Netflix, but now I can't because $company pulled all their content to their own streaming service, there's no world in which that's a win for me.

100 companies producing tons of filler content to try to make their own $10/mo service valuable isn't a good trade off for "you need a new paid app to watch the thing you used to watch in this app you already have."

The Force Engine v1.0 Released
There are some nice arguments for not overengineering in the comments here, as well as some for there still being merit in explicitly saying what could (typically) go wrong in the execution of a program. We've already seem the extreme of "never create your custom exceptions", or even something to the tune of "exception handling is a maintenance burden", but I can't help but to wonder about going in the exact opposite direction - even further than the article suggests.

What if we had a language that only had checked exceptions and forced you to deal with anything that can go wrong. Launching a program? You better have some code to deal with an out of memory exception, or some code for dealing with a stack overflow exception. Working with some maths? Well, you better define what should happen in the case of number underflows or overflows, as well as division by zero or whatever else can be inferred by what operators you use. Dealing with a network? Well, be prepared to handle dozens of types of network failures, the brittleness of networks being laid bare to you. Want to deal with reflection? Well, there would probably be none, to avoid too much dynamic behavior.

It's rather obvious why we don't really have languages like that, but at the same time - if writing code in a language like that would be "possible", then surely there's a domain or two out there that might benefit not just from enforced 100% test coverage, but also every single possible error being handled, or at least laid bare. If a program should crash upon particular errors, then the developer might say so explicitly, or otherwise provide logic to recover from those, without ever missing any place where things could go wrong.

Contrast this made up language with your typical Java project: you might use the Spring framework and have a method that exposes a RESTful API that returns some JSON to the client. You'd be amazed at just how many different issues you can run into with even the simplest implementations, it's like a never ending path of discovering more ways for your programs to go wrong. If you can sometimes benefit from your IDE going "hey, this code might throw a NullPointerException", then how much additional assistance you'd benefit from (and how much error handling should be encouraged/enforced) is probably up for debate!

My friends and I feverishly played Street Fighter II at the local arcade all the time and, as a huge Nintendo fan, the SNES release was a big hit. BUT it was noticeably a downgrade from the arcade version. It didn’t play nearly as well and suffered from slow down during action sequences. It was a bit of a disappointment, and an expensive one. But it was popular so what could you do?

I never understood the appeal of Mortal Kombat. It played like absolute garbage. The gore and extreme violence was a mere gimmick.

Netflix started producing content for two main reasons. The first was that Disney and others decided to start their own streaming platforms and make their content exclusive. Second, it's an asset that Netflix can syndicate.

In countries where Disney+ doesn't exist you can watch it on Netflix.

When Netflix streaming was just starting they had a lot of great content from Starz, HBO, and their Anime selection was extensive. Gradually all that content was removed and locked behind different paywalls.

The '08 recession forced me into a job maintaining an old Ada system when I was a young developer. Toward the end of that experience I was put on a project that involved modernizing and updating said system by porting it from SPARC/Solaris to x86/RedHat. I also had to learn to read MATLAB because most of the new modules involved translating the work of scientists into Ada code.

A good learning experience, at least. I've long since moved on to more "modern" technologies.
