> The Navy may claim that rust doesn’t affect the operational readiness of the fleet

Shouldn't that matter much more than prestige? How much punch you can pack in the field, how safe it is for your troops,... not how it looks or feels.

Camouflage was once seen as not suitable for the morale of troops who were used to Napoleon-era bright colorful uniforms, now it's perfectly common.
The exercise component is clear but could you elaborate on what you meant specifically about "food"? Do you mean a certain type of diet or only eating at certain times of the day or after working out?
I thought this was an update on his last post from 3 years ago, but it’s the same one. Maybe it should be tagged?
Exactly, and if performance at some point matters: benchmark!

And I would bet 9 times out of 10 it won't be the bottleneck or even make a measurable difference.
I don't understand why they even need naval officers to do it... Hire some contract workers twice a year to scrub or paint or whatever it takes. Why does someone have to enlist in order to clean a boat?
This is the vice of every public or private organization ever in existence. The term "politics" likely was created for this behavior.

Checks and balances are needed whenever organizations are formed to avoid these kind of vices.

But that will never happen.
Thanks for noticing. Indeed having issue with Firefox. I’ll update it.
Don't reinstitute gender roles, but recognize that while women have made lots of progress men are still strictly held to their historical gender role, and that the only way forward is to open up the roles available for men.
Is it similar across all military branches or does Navy get special attention?

The outcome is not in your control. Its like going to a rigged casino and expected to win big. This ideology is really out of touch with reality.
Around the World in Eighty Days, from Jules Verne. I read that when i was a child and blowed my mind with glimpses from other countries, other cultures and the joy of reading.

I think that after that book i had the question: how 100 years ago he was able to write about those places?. Then i never stopped to read. After that i started to develop the addiction i have about knowledge.

EDIT: oh, and the final plot twist.., was amazing.
Is there anyone you’ve ever met that you could imagine having sex with but wouldn’t want to be around for the rest of your life, linking your finances to, or raising children with? Think of how many times you’ve heard about someone changing after starting a relationship - whether that’s cheating, putting more effort into dating than they do to maintaining a relationship or, especially given the culture in question, thinking that the woman should be doing all of the domestic work and child rearing even if that means giving up career prospects?

That last part is really important to understand for these discussions: people sometimes talk about dating like a market but notice how rarely the proposed answer is helping men be better partners rather than pressuring women to accept less.
His answer will be an all benevolent all generous and arbitrarily infinitely funded government. Infinite housing, for infinite people - the motto of the true altruist - all paid for by persons TBD. The same position held widely in this thread
Does most housing "rent" qualify as "rent" for the purpose of the phrase? I thought it mostly didn't, because the idea was that a rent is a recurring payment exchanged for no additional value, but apartments, while hideously expensive, are still a you-get-what-you-pay-for thing.
Please, taxing something doesn't mean the government owns it. Does the government own someone's home because they have to pay property taxes to the city for paving the streets and running the garbage service?
No it isnt
> I'm going to start keeping my nose out of team debates about things like architecture and coding standards, and move toward sharing my opinion only upon explicit solicitation.

I've felt the need for the same.
Yup; I've had an x250 once upon the time which was similar: lovely form factor, and I got the extended battery for it which made for slightly better cooling, longer battery life, and it felt easy/good to carry around.

(the 40 series, I personally avoided like the plague - I'm a trackpoint user, and the removal of the buttons for that series alone, made many an IT architect slam the poor machine onto desk in frustration; but with 50 they brought it back and haven't dared to mess with us since:)
For the second one, that is what is done by this xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1335/

But unfortunately they have noon at the top.
I think I left enough context clues in my post to understand that by "serverless" and "no server, thick client", I meant "the client also handles the server function" or "closing the client suspends operation of the server". But in case I didn't, just to clarify, when I said "serverless", I meant Kodi and things like Kodi, and when I said "server", I meant Plex and things like Plex, including Emby and Jellyfin.
I can't tell if your comment was made in earnest or meant to troll, but yes, the #1 problem with crypto is that it assumes it can solve a human problem with technology alone.
"I'd tell you why you're wrong but I'm busy" can be said to anyone about anything. Care to expand?
No, in fact variable shadowing is not allowed.
Also, on the topic of note taking, creation does't necessarily mean for others.
Where do you launch those drones from? Continental USA are far away from everything.
Do you have evidence the money for maintenance has been redirected?
This definition of news is very bad.

There are people out there who simply want to be informed about what’s happening in the world even if it’s not a victim/villain story.
> The Navy fights incidental rust at sea by scraping it off and then painting over it with Ameron PSX-700. Look up the price of Ameron PSX-700 and you get a feel for why fighting rust is so expensive: the paint costs $250 a gallon. More in-depth work is done at shipyards.

Seems like nothing can survive being pressure washed by seawater for several months.

that's irrelevant though. People at old age have already lost many of their peers, so they have mostly children to rely on. But people now have fewer children than ever and they are likely to be away. And i dont think parents or children want to be forced to live with each other just for this. We also shouldn't be shaming people for not living with their family. That's why we need something else (and maybe there's an entrepreneurial idea there)

Also keep in mind that , particularly for men, the nuclear family living was not the norm until the past few generations. Men used to spent most of their time in men/gentlement's spaces socializing/doing business while the wife was at home with kids. This 'loneliness' thing happens because those other spaces are gone now
The other possibility is just that a state or private actor that didn't slow down will be first.
To be pedantic, it was an East German / Czechoslovakian coproduction (called "Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel" here), and it's still huge in Germany too (browse German TV channels at any time between Christmas and New Year, and it's very likely that the movie is running on at least one of them).

The 'movie castle' is Schloss Moritzburg btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritzburg_Castle
But Rc is only useful for creating tree-like data-structures.

One non-tree cross-link or back-link and you'll have to redesign your entire code.
In the 19th century, warships spent many hours maintaining the rigging for their sails as well as the readiness of the wooden decks. Obviously, if the ship couldn't deploy their sails in either battle or storm conditions, it stood a fair chance of being lost. As a result, sailors were constantly going up and down the ropes, brushing tar on them to waterproof and protect the ropes from fraying. Decks were sanded to maintain a rough surface that the mostly-barefoot sailors could maintain contact when the decks were wet or bloody.

In the day of billion dollar vessels, as a taxpayer, I would sort of demand that the navy do more so that the lifetime of these very expensive ships can be as long as possible. If they're going to constantly go back to congress for more ship money, they must demonstrate they can maintain the ones they already have.
This article, everything else aside, is excellent. I wrote a rambling bunch of stuff in this comment and before I posted I had to cut out a lot, because HN comments aren’t really the best place for an in depth discussion about type theory implementations. So, I’m just going to read the compiler source and then get a hold of you later.

I am really intrigued by your explicit anti-features list. They are very close to my preferences for language design, so I was going to keep on reading just from that. The feature list is spelled out well and I certainly think you managed to make this article a nice hook for looking further.

Then I followed a link to the language spec. My god, but is it not only written cleanly, but the presentation is so clean too. I got a short way in (after jumping to the type system specification) and stopped to come comment. I doubt you were expecting to get compliments for layout and formatting, but I am going to shamelessly steal your spec’s presentation for my language docs.
I agree with your reasoning and your insight about missed value is valuable, but this is not a Python problem. It's a scaling problem.

You can solve scaling problems in many different ways with different costs. Any reasonably sized company has a Kubernetes cluster, just launch 10 instances and you're down to 24 minutes instead of 4 hours. You could also buy faster hardware. You might increase single-node performance by rewriting in a performant language (this won't help much if I/O is the bottleneck though, which often is the case). Talking to your data supplier to check if they can send the data in a machine-readable format is probably also something to consider. Or you might conclude that any effort is not worthwhile at all. Who knows?

Scaling problems are not be avoided as a negative thing, they're beautiful and ought to be celebrated. What's not beautiful is letting the thought of potential scaling problems lead you to make decisions that optimize for long-term results instead of short-terms results.
Find a classic to enjoy. I highly recommend the text based Zork. I found it calming and actually quite fun.
Didn't they have this AI to predict the toxicity of certain compounds with extreme accuracy?

If you combine the two it sounds like a solution with some remaining risk, but if the disease is bad enough that risk may be worth it.
I’m trying to gain understanding of your first sentence, but have been unable.

Landlords can deduct mortgage interest just like any profit-seeking business can deduct interest on loans taken on in furtherance of their business. That’s true for single-family homes or duplexes in a suburb same as a rowhouse, 4-plex or 50-unit building in a city.

The owner-occupant deduction applies to their unit, whether that’s all of an SFR, half a duplex, one level of a triple-decker, or 1 unit in a 4-plex.
if you're one of the few who genuinely care/love, it's crushing

There's an upside to disillusionment in that we are stripped of all the ego and false beliefs we hold, as painful as it is. If you're one of the few who genuinely care/love, you'll come to the realizations you did. But the way out of the valley of disillusionment is to realize it doesn't matter how others approach it, because they are irrelevant. You get to do what you love and that's all that matters.

Only the creator will ever truly understand the labor and love that goes into his creation, to expect that level of appreciation or care from others is unwise and irrational. In fact, holding that expectation might even reveal hidden motives that imply one's "love for the craft" is not as genuine as they'd think.
First nerds care about it, then everyone else does.
How about the brown M&M argument, if they are neglecting these basic tasks and responsibilities what other duties are they shirking.

And for the record I don't buy for a second it won't effect the operational readiness of the fleet.
The technology was interesting. But humans have been ruining that space for at least a decade.
"Has become?" Seems that being a landlord has always been one of the more profitable things you could do.

And it has always been an odd split of who you want as tenants. Commonly, you either wanted very poor, or commercial tenants. Middle class was not desired.

For the middle class, you wanted to be their bank.

> Local government will not be able to compete.

Local government is, by and large, NIMBY and thus on the side of the megalandlords.

Local government does not compete with property investors, it is already controlled by them.
> Just interesting to look at what we allow from a safety perspective in comparison to COVID

I assume the IFR percentage includes whole societies responding to the pandemic. These numbers might have turned out much higher if we did not respond, as some demanded. E.g. because saturating health systems into triage leads to increased mortality (even for conditions outside covid). I mean there are probably people who died because their scheduled operations have been moved back because the ER rooms were full. Viewing a pandemic simply through a mortality percentage is therefore problematic.

At the same time cars kill to many people and we are doing not enough about that. People don't like the implications of what taking car deaths seriously would mean. It would mean less freedom, stricter laws, a total reshaping of transportation, cities and the way people live etc. It is not taken seriously because people don't want to follow through with what needed to be done if it was taken seriously.

A bit like the people who assured themselves that c19 was just "like the flu" and that "masks don't help". They told themselves that, because they were afraid of living in a world where this was actually true. That would have meant taking responsibility for the health of those around you.
every single post that has anything to do with housing turns into this

- prices dropping is a good thing

- nimby are the real evil

- we should promote the idea of housing as utility not a store of wealth

- but govt encourages housing as wealth via subsidies, tax breaks, bailouts ect.

- poc should be allowed to build inter-generational wealth via housing. This shouldn't be suddenly cancelled.

- we should be building more public housing like germany and france.

- some random side convo about gentrification

- another side convo about suburban housing = bad. we should all live in tightly packed cities with no cars.

Rinse and repeat.

Unfortunately We Are Not Living in a “Simulation”
This year, my resolution was dedicate myself to study distributed systems.

After spending 6 months with every day 4 hours after work. I can seriously, its been a ride and I feel like I realized am not even close to mastering (e.g, studied atleast 100 papers) it.

I woke up with a lack of exhaustion and disappointment.

-------------------------------------------

Some of my achievements include:

- Reading ~20 technical books.

- Going through ~20 technical courses.

-------------------------------------------

Observations at age of 31 studying tech material:

- My memory is good, but isnt as stellar as it used to be when I was 21 :(

- Accepting that, dedicating some take good notes.

- Being pragmatic and doing introspection at your current skills.

- Re-reading notes immediately after the course or chapter ends, and materials has helped me retain my understanding.
Yeah, there's no inherent value to canaries in coal mines, but if you see a dead one, you run.
This is a peacetime fleet though, which should have the spare resources needed to maintain aesthetic concerns. The lack of such is a warning sign that it may not have the spare capacity necessary for sustaining the much elevated manpower and resource requirements of active combat.
How can the legislature approve changes when they are not in session?

And WHY would they do that?
I disagree as there are many $12-40/hour jobs in customer service that are remote and can get $100-200k houses in the middle of nowhere. I live in an area with lots of rural space within 2 hours drive. Remote work has been helpful for people who are “computer savvy” and deal with being in a remote call center.

How This All Happened (2021)
I would like to add couple more titles to recommend: Firewatch, Fallout series and entire Metro series (2033, Last Light and Exodus). Fallout and Metro games are very similar to half life just not that hard to play.
A more direct comparison would have been a r-value reference.
Corporations rights don't trump the rights of people. They are subject to the people for a reason, they are organizations that exist for the people, of the people and by the people. This is why we ALLOW them to exist with charters to operate and the discretion of the people. And by the way that part has also been corrupted, charters essentially don't even matter now.
You're right, but you miss a key point: much of what we call "the progressive left" is just corporate and professional managerial class value signaling. It's easy and low cost to call people names and culture war, so activism and attention gets directed (on both sides) toward drag queen story time hour instead of making sure everyone has access to a solid, stable, safe job.
Regarding the "owning a condo not being ideal", it's actually the norm in many countries, assuming by "condo" you mean a flat in a shared building with many houses - where I'm from, condominium is the name you give the association of neighbors, not the structure. Almost 50% of the EU residents live in flats[0]and have to indeed communicate with their neighbors and solve common issues together through a management company or directly through the owners association, depending on the building. I think you're making it out to be more complex than it is.

Yeah, I mean, I guess I'd suggest a raw Bk column to preserve the original data and maybe just absolute value of difference instead of square of difference.
This falls squarely in the "concerning but I can literally do nothing about it" category for me. What am I going to do, pick the next President based on their attitude about ship maintenance? Even if I was in the Navy, what could I do? I can only guess at what is causing this gross negligence.

The fear is that bubbles of incompetence (incompetent people giving each other high-fives about how awesome they are) have grown large enough to start causing real physical and visible damage. Not sure if that's the case, though. Although I'm not buying the "rust has no operational impact" argument - as a sailor, you keep things neat and clean and tidy so that if something goes wrong it sticks out like a sore thumb. You want to catch problems early, and cleanliness helps. (Cleaning also has an inspection component that helps).
Why do I disapprove? I take it that's what you're asking.

We do hand-counts here. I know pretty well how they work, and people trust them. I'm not familiar with all the varieties of electronic voting machine; but as far as I'm aware, none is certified by any federal agency, and most (all?) are proprietary. I'm not keen on having commercial businesses (with commercial secrets) involved at the heart of vote-counting. Instead, I'd have central government specify how voting machines must work, and certify that each proposed model meets specifications. Really, the innards of these machines should by law be exposed to scrutiny by the general public.

There's a lot of distrust in the USA voting procedures. Disenfranchisement is routine, and it's also routine for candidates to attack the voting system when they lose. That's partly because people don't trust electronic voting.

I'm not from USA, but I think the USA should enact voting laws that are uniform across the country. I think it's nuts that voting laws are state-by-state, even for federal elections. I don't understand why former slave-states should get to make their own voting laws for federal elections.

Ask HN: Which are your favourite machine learning blogs?
Hi *

While I love to read machine learning technical papers from scientific journals, I also believe that there's a lot of knowledge hidden in personal blogs. So I have been collecting them here [1] and here [2].

I would like to know which are your favourite personal blogs about machine learning, deep learning, statistics, maths, or related topics.

Thank you :)

Instead of linear types, would it be possible to just enforce some kind of "must call close" policy?

What if you somehow mark the close() function as--let me make up a name--a "destructor". Then enforce at compile time that a value must always have a call to a destructor (or maybe it gets called automatically when out of scope).

1. Does that solve the close problem as well as linear types?

2. Do linear types solve other problems that the above doesn't?
It's a good start. I expect that a lot will be learned by implementing the standard library, particularly if a serious attempt is made to make it work well on multiple platforms. Do you want to model a lot of platform-specific restrictions like Rust or sweep them under the rug like Go?

For example, real filesystems are complicated and quirky.

Though it's risky to build on another experimental language, it seems like building on Zig's toolchain would be a good way to get lots of cross-platform capability and experience quickly, since it accepts C and generates code for many platforms.
