I think a neutron star would have time dilation below 2x. Would be interesting at our time scale, but on the order of magnitude we're discussing of the increased chemical speed i think it would just be noise.
I don't think it snows enough in big Australian cities :D And there aren't (yet) electric super-jumbo cargo planes to ship these mechanical monstrosities.
Well, a union rep is quoted in the article, which was weird. His statement was also a little weird. The conclusions and the math involved don't really add up for me. They laid the groundwork for a fight against _any_ conversion to electric vehicles by warning the city council about the possibly prohibitive cost of installing a charger network...

I'm not sure it's too outlandish to postulate that the union would act in their own interest here. I think any plan to convert to autonomous vehicles should include a plan for these workers. But I don't think you get to be Sanitation Commissioner in NYC without union support.
The headline sounds like a YouTube ad
What is needed is a means for removing weight from the garbage-collection apparatus when adding a front-end snowplow.
The browser itself performs a kind of build step. It happens per script tag, and you can catch "compilation errors" in your own code using window.onerror if you want to.
Meh, the vast majority of classical or jazz musicians don't have any time to take drugs -- because they have day jobs.
The only thing I see from him on google scholar is about mechanical ventilation for small animals. What's his background?
> Are you seriously saying that Apple wiped all your “friend’s” files

Why is it so hard to believe? The machines aren't modular or repairable, everything is soldered on the main board. The T2 security prevents cloning of the SSD.
I've heard great things about them, but never heard one in an actual home (only those fake settings in stores).

As a (former?) hi-fi guy, I would have bought one if it had come with a detachable cable. I'm still holding out hope for a new one of some sort.
Did you experience nausea on them? Was it methylphenidate? Which formulation and dose? I had 1yr ritalin, 1yr adderall, and 6 yrs concerta 18mg. At this point the sight of "alza 18" on a small tan cylinder makes me want to puke.
Derivatives have nice physical problems to solve like "find the maximum" and "find the relationship between these two variables" which you can find by measuring a linear slope a lot of times. Learning derivatives starts with linear regression, which you do when learning about lines on a Cartesian plane.

By the time you know about drawing lines on planes to find the integral area underneath, you've already figured out the derivative so you know what direction to move your pen in next while drawing the line
That's very reasonable! I don't mean to disparage that decision at all: setuptools is rock solid and a very safe choice.
Individuals who have gained a significant amount of weight do not produce leptin, grehlin, and other related hormones in the same way that people at a normal weight do. Once you’ve put on a significant amount of weight you can’t just expand the size of your fat cells you make new cells entirely.

That's a good point I hadn't considered. Thanks!
Immigration can lower wages of existing citizens that are theoretically who a democratic government and its policies should be working for
Very funny. But your assumption that people want a positive response is incorrect. Personally, the method that would work for me is if you disagreed with me in a reasonable way. If I cared enough though I would also use ML to troll and evade bans. Matter of fact, I learned most java when I was a kid when bypassing bans and spamming (i grew out of it).

The hardest part of moderation imho is appearing fair. A humorous comment I made just like your comment, was used as an example of "low value" comment when I asked why i was being shadowjailed. Ultimately, it comes down on how you decide to treat people not whether or not your reasoning is sound or your authority is legitimate. It's a fine line between bullying and moderation.
Helpful Article. OSA is one more area where Apple's documentation is woefully lacking by now. For using JavaScript instead of AppleScript I don't find any docs at apple.com but on GitHub: https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook/wiki#table-of-c....
My take is that marketing now can have very little out-of-pocket cost, but a massively increased time cost because you are now constantly engaging with people, making new posts, answering questions, exploring new avenues, etc.
I rarely eat junk food, and I'm fat.

Your attitude is the same as a religious person telling depressed people they need jesus rather than prozac.
Prompt: solve x^2 + 11x + 30 = 0. Show your working

Answer: To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)

Plugging in the values for a, b, and c, we get:

x = (-11 +/- sqrt(11^2 - 4130)) / (2*1)

x = (-11 +/- sqrt(121 - 120)) / 2

x = (-11 +/- sqrt(1)) / 2

x = (-11 +/- 1) / 2

x = -5 or x = -6

So the solutions to the equation are x = -5 and x = -6.
Plain foo.js file. Included in the web page. That's it. No compilation, uglify, translation, crap. Plain file, straight from your scm.
That's definitely not true in the sense that PHP, even in the latest versions (much less the versions most servers run), still has a lot of the fast-and-lose culture around correctness and things which are pretty uncommon outside of PHP these days such as putting files in a webroot where they're accessible to the world unless you remember to specifically prevent that and do so perfectly, and the endemic problems around aggressive type coercion or optional error handling. In our hypothetical swap for Ruby, Python, etc. those classes of error would either disappear completely or become much less common.

More importantly, however, note that I mentioned the cultural components: people learn bad habits from all of the old tutorials and tons of low-quality code floating around, and there isn't a culture of aggressively correcting that. The half-life on that stuff is a lot longer than the time it'll take to get people to upgrade to PHP 8, especially when more people got some Facebook-style “move fast and break things” ideas without the “… use linters and write tons of tests so you can ship that often” part.
I'm echoing some of my previous comments because this post resonates quite a bit with me. Ultimately, an ecosystem is only as good as its community and that's where I believe the root lies.

The community has not figured out how to maintain software. There is an unhealthy zeal towards building, so much so that the ecosystem is in a constant building phase with things being hacked up continuously. This is where the community needs to step in and nudge the ecosystem towards stability. They need to vote with their wallet with adopting and promoting the right software. There needs to be a certain amount of skepticism towards new ideas and regard for established ones. Stubbornness to change can be a wonderful attribute. Sometimes not doing something can be the best solution. But this kind of thinking is something I feel is somewhat missing here. Rather there seems to be incredible willingness to put up with pain to the point of being detrimental.
Surely you must use JavaScript libraries in your front end though ... don't they need compilation?
It is essentially impossible to add anything underground in NYC _because_ of the extensive underground infrastructure. It is all but saturated.
It'll be interesting to see. I'm sure Congress with go through it pretty strongly (opinions, that is), assuming they ever have a successful vote for a Speaker.
How paternalistic.
What do you do if you seek a cross-platform UI?

What about windows, with its 1000 different "native UI toolkits"?
Generally, I agree. I played a lot of Beat Saber with wired headphones to lower the latency, and the effect of two connected headpieces wasn't too distracting. I'll even concede that tethering headsets is probably the way to go, for now.

What I don't understand is this best-of-both-worlds approach that people seem to be illustrating. If you're going to be tethered either way, why would anyone use it with the battery pack plugged in? Will the battery pack be an optional accessory altogether? Will the battery pack also have the CPU in it? Where will it plug in?

There's so many questions that just don't make sense here. Even previous shockers like the Macbook notch can be easily waived with aspect ratios and the menubar - this just makes no sense to me. Especially if they're chasing benign use-cases like office aides.

> Quest users are always the first to head off, due to their batteries running low

I'm not sure if they know this, but you can charge the Quest while using it. I use the same 20-foot USB-C cable I used for tethering and it works fine, albeit adding a bit of clunk.
Pumped storage is not new and is not limited to Portugal.

There are 42 pumped storage sites in the USA. Some have been operating for decades.
Differences in degree matter. International trade under mercantilism is hardly the same as present-day multinational corporations under neoliberalism. They’re both international trade per se in the same way a house cat and a lion are both cats.

This feels somewhat charitable considering they made other aspects worse for several generations, then brought back good stuff for the M1 launch.
I usually can't stand magicians, but absolutely loved this.
Or swapping for an aux battery pack. I'm not sure the plow weight is a big issue, compared to the wet snow. Also I'm assuming they're not picking up garbage at the same time.
Waist mounted battery huh.

Will be interesting to see if they can pull this off because the visual in my head looks ridiculous.

Also, regarding FullCalendar, if you need an actual calendar then Preceden won't be a good fit for you. But if you're OK with a horizontal timeline, it might work well. Worth checking out IMHO.
There are two problems. One is that some people have a body that drives then incredibly strongly towards a certain size. The other is they there are people that given the opportunity to eat whatever they want whenever they want will slowly gain weight year after year. Gaining 3-4 pounds in a year isn't a problem and a sign that someone has a poor lifestyle. But over 2 or 3 decades, that becomes a serious problem.
I would say our 'actual' stressors are far less, but our contrived stressors are far more.

The fact I'm not going to die tomorrow from starvation is an actual reduction in stress.

The fact that someone on the TV is screaming 24/7 that I'm going 'fucking die because THEY are out to get me' is a contrived stressor that has a real effect on everybody in society.
I completed the hardware part last month. It's definitely accessible and serves as a good entry project for interested students. However it glossed over a lot of things (that even I'm aware of) so I decided to up the game and find other projects/lectures. The CPU project of University of Tokyo seems interesting but is too tough for whoever just completes nand2tetris. Some bridge project is needed.
I am not saying that "no random blood test has ever uncovered any dangerous disease", which is obviously not true. I am saying that when aggregated, on average many of the screening tests, including yearly bloodwork have more negative effects than positive.

The fact that your father got diagnosed too late is incredibly sad, and I truly feel for you, as that's the disease that took my grandfather too. But that does not offset the fact that if you screen people "yearly" you end up with more unnecessary interventions, painful tests, and potential false positives, and generally bad outcomes than if you don't do it.

You could just as easily find a story about someone who had an unnecessary blood test that revealed something potentially troubling, they went to have a more invasive tests that resulted in them getting hurt from treating what turned out to be a false positive.
> The happiest times in my life growing up were the 2 hr jams after school. Option to find bar bands is what keeps me playing as an adult as well. I don’t know if high school bands are still out there with all the tech now? Def curious.

Small-group (3-5 players) playing, which I only got to do once I was sorta-OK, was the only part of school band I enjoyed. It was transcendently good. Better-than-sex good, even without an audience. And we weren't even that good at the instruments, really!

But our teachers didn't front-load that in the curriculum—I played for three or four years in junior high and high school before getting to do any of it at all—and anyone struggling in the middle or lower tiers of the class didn't get the opportunity. Some of them might have loved it and, you know, been motivated to try harder. If it'd been the main thing we did, instead of a rare activity, I'd probably have tried a lot harder, myself.
Joy and beauty are just delusions.
I think learning software has been transformative in this space, at least for baseline technical skills and coordination. Hopefully in the future the software will be able to give you feedback on stuff like tone and posture as well.
JavaScript is the only language in which you can write a program and distribute to every device in the world, today, cheaply and reliably. (technically this is an exaggeration - not everything has a browser. but you get the point.)
> Most people use VR while moving around

That's if you're primarily into gaming which Apple isn't.

I suspect the future of VR is going to be at a desk, sofa, bed etc. with virtual screens, meetings, educational lessons, movies etc.
Yes can relate. Started with a powerchord punk band, ended with playing the Dead. First realizing a pentatonic scale can unlock the inner Jimmy Page in all of us is the step off point.

Now I can play crappy jazz in Christmas parties, whatever is regionally in fashion at bars where I live, and enjoy it all.

tldr find a band for your kid I guess
"it's a more complex & expensive solution than picking one or the other."

Not for NMC batteries, which continue to go up in price (so much for the downward EV battery price trend EV promoters promised would materialize with the economies of scale).

And LFP batteries don't have the necessary performance characteristics for high load applications.

The great EV brownout of 2023 has arrived.
Next try “there is no anti-memetics division”
The buses I’m familiar with that use overhead power lines don’t use them exclusively - they have batteries or diesel for when they venture off the powered lines.
"Ephemeral" is relative. Most JS code in the browser runs for at least 30 seconds, if not longer, as the user interacts with the page. That's plenty of time to spend spare cycles on JITing in the background to make responsiveness better without worrying about 100s of milliseconds of startup / shutdown latency.
Not only is there a scifi novel or a zillion about such a thing but you can read the best (i think) one right on the authors website.

Accelerando by Charlie Stross is not only about sun-brains, but is also about how they change human society and culture. Good book.

Fasting does help me with weight control. I generally eat only one meal each day and I find this has many other benefits.

I am not considering these drugs. I responded to "I believe that everyone, even the skinny folks, should be on GLP1 drugs for the longevity effects."
My kid asked to get her music lessons so she can play the music from Genshin Impact she really liked. Both from in-game as well as from recordings of orchestral performances Hoyo Labs organized. Happy parent :-)
Eat less shit food and excercise more doesn't work anymore nowadays?
I was wondering about that, actually. I am interested in magic, very much, and I have seen tons and tons. I also felt like it was beyond anything I have ever seen, and wondered if it would be noticeably different to people who haven't seen as much as I have.
I personally use AutoIt a ton as a super fast way to quickly prototype GUIs. It's basically a really simple entrypoint for WinAPI.

Shameless plug: my script for emulating a trackball with your keyboard [0], and my tray app for quickly tweaking your cursor speed (usually for when I'm drawing something)[1]

There are also some really useful utility apps like WhyNotWin11[2] that's made entirely using AutoIt

That's... complicated.

It depends on the state in the US.
I really hated to sound so grim... I've had some great experiences and I still do, nothing beats playing your music for crowds of people... The money is the problem. If you as a musician don't make it, there are others making it off of you. Scams are reampant. I just got an email from a fake Instagram account posing as a real journalist asking me for money for a feature in a big magazine...

To tell you the truth it's utterly depressing to be a musician with integrity after seeing the deep levels of corruption, usury, and depravity that happen in this industry... The wots part, is that tons of the people that act like they are rich are actually fat from it, and many people simply lie about success or buy it (trust fund babies).
Yes, it doesn't to you?
Security is hard. It is only when you have to fight never ending scenarios from multiple users that you understand how limited a product that helps you is.

Crowdstrike helped us a few times to contain serious issues, and made me difficult for people as well because it blocked their "suspicious" behaviour.

The bad guys only need to succeed once.
I may be showing my ignorance here... Did all those previous headsets actually work with a small belt-mounted module? Or did they connect to a gaming PC?

I'm imagining that the rumored product here has a small thing you clip on your waist, not a full-blown computer with an Nvidia card and fans and stuff.
It's harder to force huge pages on a guest than it is to just use them in regular user space where you can simply mmap them in.

And none of that accounts for the increased context switch time.
Exercise is the same way, lots of effort to stay in the same place. I like to believe that maintenance work makes me better, even though the numbers don't really change. At least it gets easier to keep it up over time.
Freedom is stripped slowly, and then all at once. It’s wise to pay attention to moments when freedom of any kind is degraded. The pandemic is the most recent and most obvious moment.
sorry about that. Should work now. Was facing some compute issues.
And people are still eager to see JavaScript continue to accrete features!

Madness.

I think what’s strange about this ad is the fact that she’s doing a handstand. That isn’t a normal part of getting fit for most people, and it isn’t even safe to attempt by most people in the model’s weight range. Had they shown her using a stationary bike or taking a brisk walk in a park, it wouldn’t be controversial.
Ya it’s def interesting. Seems like folks hit on a basket of scales and chords == ready for a band at various points and somewhat randomly. Def credit my teacher with realizing I was trending one way and pushing me into the blues early.

I think that will just multiply clickbait and those making the most substantive contributions will be ripped off by SEO/content farmers.
Maybe losing weight the old fashioned way builds character, but so do plenty of other things. Living as a subsistence farmer also probably builds character because you’re taking an active role in producing food that maintains your body.

Instead I choose to take advantage of technology to provide food and shelter, so that I can use the extra time to focus on other pursuits.
It is, in my personal experience, all to easy to fall back into the old habits.
Believe it or not, using libraries, compiled or otherwise, is not a requirement of either the HTML or Javascript specifications! The single biggest benefit of front-end builds is modularization; however browsers support that natively now (e.g. script type=module), and have for some years.
In the context of this question, system has a specific technical meaning though. This is a very technical question so chatGPT might be forgiven for assuming the technical meaning.
As someone from a dense city with generally smaller roads than NYC (Philly), I think that's untrue. If NYC wanted to do it, it could be done. In Philly, trucks make it down alleys where the roadway is half the size of the truck. Or they wheel the dumpsters down the alley to the corner. That doesn't mean every alley is suitable, but you can put the dumpster on the main road where you put the trash, or do as our European friends suggest.
Scraping is legal, plus how will they even know?
> you shouldn't do that, instead just inline Func1 and Func2 and comment it better.

Frankly It Depends(tm). Sometimes you can do this and not pass too much state, sometimes you can not. Sometimes your state is in a class, or global, and you just pass the class around.

I have somewhere a 3000 line state machine with the app state in a class - i just pulled out logically connected states in auxiliary files when it went over 1k lines. In my case it's easy to comprehend because groups of states are kinda separated logically.
You are missing the forest for the trees. Ask yourself, why do we spend so much time looking at 6 inch rectangles? In its final form, this will be a perfect 2D and 3D display of any size accessible using any form of input attached shortly afer birth to our optic nerves or perhaps written into our genetic codes. If you want to touch glass, you can carry around an inert piece of glass in your pocket that will be functionally identically to a phone. This is the platform of the next 1000 years, but I'm not sure if we will see it in the next 100.
HN person diagnosing depression. Well done.

I’m far away from depression. Just think the AI race is absolutely a pile of shit for humanity.
> Modern nutrition science has found that each person, at any given time, has a "metabolic setpoint". This is basically a target weight that their endocrine system is trying to keep them at.

Citation? This goes against everything I've heard from credentialed experts and against my own experience as well. For one thing, it's unclear how you'd explain the weight gain of the median person in the western world over the last 30 years. For another, it's very strange that people like me (previously) gained 5-10 pounds a year, if our bodies were supposedly trying to keep us at a particular set point.
I have never met anyone in my entire life who would think for one second that anything in OP's statement was either "repulsive" or "ageism". Where do people get this new-age rhetoric from anyway? Does anyone actually believe it or are you just virtue signaling?
I thought I considered myself pretty well traveled but I've never seen a garbage truck plowing snow.
