You complain about being called boomer while simultaneously reducing an entire neighborhood to "hipster doofus land". That's some real boomer stuff.
“Why?” To which any Animaniacs fan will respond, “OK, love you, bye-bye!”.
No, natural law is that which would exist without a government monopoly on violence. The only reason people can maintain property is because the government will protect it for them. Otherwise, a group of homeless people could easily band together and take your house.

Beating the state of the world under natural law is the lower bound for a legitimate government, and as automation increases, a capitalist system without UBI starts to lose to natural law and lose it’s legitimacy.
This has always somewhat confused me, not out of obstinance, but because I dont fit neatly into any one box. Why the mix between between a color, continents/ancestor-origin, and a common language group. Those are 3 distinct types of things being lumped together while missing so many more options from those distinct things. I always mark all boxes on paper even when it's a select one bubble since I don't know which one I "belong" to. And how far back are we suppose to trace our human ancestry?
I don’t think you would accept any proof. As your own definition is good reasoning on why grid is over whelmed.

Yes! I was a huge fan of webscript.io. Great feature request, too.

I work in R&D in heavy mfg

I find when people outside the "handy" diciplines (factory operations, industrial setting eng, skilled trades), they think mfg and engineered components are much more elegant than they really are

Perhaps things like apple, F1, dyson and defence distort that view. They do make their products with "spaceship" technologies. But it's critical to understand they are the exception, not the norm... plus... the treasuries and workforce they can utilize to pull it off

It's hilarious how products like Yeti, cammelback, premium razors are just permutation of very simple products (not knocking them one bit and great marketing). x2 the quality of standard products for x4 the price (and often that's just fine)

Usually products start out a little jank just like software. Red bull and lululemon come to mind. Start small leveraging available things, start local markets, scale from there. Just like FB with Harvard students
I learned quite a bit of x86 assembly from these viruses as a teenager. I found it fascinating, especially polymorphism. I found it very clever and the inspiration from biological viruses, or "virii" as the .nfo files described them, was amazing.
Yes totally fair as well.

Other countries also have rules for things like "every employee must be able to see a window" and whatnot.
It seems odd that these layoffs come around the time that some of these companies are struggling to enforce return to office policies. It seems like part of the motivation for these layoffs is likely is to undermine the confidence of tech workers who are resistant to the whims of management types who'd like to smash the WFH status quo where it still exists.

Sorry, I misread your original comment as it really bit Flexport previously.
The spread on page 300 (iirc) is really stunning.
In my view (hehe), Django's class based views is a good idea implemented poorly. In theory you should be able to use any of the built-in class based generic views with minimal customizations to suit your needs, except when you want to do such customizations you're left dealing with a huge inheritance tree of mixins. It's all magic unless you know or wanna read the documentation on what each mixin brings to the view, that is _if_ you know what mixins are involved exactly, of course.
And in many places M stands for thousand, from Latin "mille" (as well as the Roman numeral). That doesn't keep people from counting in kilo-, mega- and gigadollars. Still less confusing than dealing with short vs long scale numbers in translation.
This thread is really baffling to this Dutchman. All houses have a house-wide residual-current device here; it is not a topic for debate at all. And indeed, these don't false trip.

US electrical wiring always weirds me out. Cables run through walls without pulling them through hard plastic conduits and sockets that look like something designed seventy years ago. It's probably a matter of perspective, but it seems like such a completely different approach.

There's an important distinction that your explanation glosses over, which is that MergeSort is an out-of-place sort while QuickSort is in-place. As a practical matter, this distinction is important and it makes the two algorithms not quite duals. Your explanation of why we can assume that QuickSort pivots are medians makes sense, but it also glosses over one of the deep insights about why QuickSort works at all, which is that with unsorted data, the choice of pivot will rarely be bad (it will be "near the middle on average.")
> Refrigerator only needs a GFI if it is within a certain distance of a sink.

Not anymore. NEC 2023 requires GFCI for every 120 or 240V outlets in the kitchen, regardless of their location or proximity to the sink. This was a big change.
Thanks for your work Andrej! I've been doing earlier lectures and this is absolutely fantastic educational content!
I think the solution here is standardization - if you don't force a company to abide by some standard then they'll all create their own. We have the same issue with software - many programmers describe their job as creating the interface for different existing things. I think the issue here is that this isn't really the job of an electrician - they make sure the wiring in your house is safe but it's someone else's job to make sure their device complies with those expectations and is easy to plug-and-play with. Otherwise they'd need to train technicians to do the installation and most people don't want that

Apart from language syntax similarities, Kotlin and Swift are fundamentally different languages, one runs on a VM (ok there's KNative) and other runs on bare metal.

Kotlin has it's roots in JVM and the early language design choices clearly reflect that. Kotlin/Native will find it very hard to break free of it's JVM counterpart because it can't diverge too much from it to maintain compatibility.
> Where did you get the impression that two is fine?

That part was a joke because of Flexport's layoffs due to lack of volume. The stacking is probably a separate topic compared to the success of his business, but was just stating why his name and company are familiar on HN.

I personally believe they should stack them vertically vs horizontal stacking to save space so they are always accessible vs 2-3-4 high. (also a joke)
I feel like this is an obvious idea, but we simply haven't had the 3D printing technology to make things like this before. Casting this using traditional methods would be extremely difficult. Nobody bothered making stuff like this, not because they never thought of it, but because it was always too expensive.
They keep ringing our sun and we never even respond! And now they're just annoyed with us and won't respond when we eventually call back.
The problem with citing incompetence as a reason not to worry about the Jan 6th insurrection is that there are such obvious examples in history of people who tried to overthrow a government, did it badly, got locked up, eventually got out, and then went on to.... actually overthrow the government! Like, it's quite difficult not to mention the Beer Hall Putsch. The lesson from one failed insurrection isn't "Haha! You guys failed this time". It's "Holy fuck those guys are actually going to try and line us all up against a wall given half a chance".

> My understanding is that Parler is a Mastodon instance... I know that every time headlines are posted about the number of employees at X company, people ask why there are so many people working there. But in this case I think it's justified. They're just running a Mastodon instance, why so many people?

IIRC, when they were first in the news, I believe they were running some insane thing built on top of WordPress (or some other blogging platform like that). At least that was according to someone who had claimed to hack them and scraped all their user data. I think the site was a rush job meant to capitalize on particular dissatisfactions with Twitter.

I believe gab (not so much MAGA as explicit neonazis) is a Mastodon instance, and that's caused trouble for Mastodon clients on various app stores (i.e. if you can use the generic client to connect to gab, the app could fail the app store's content policies and not get approved).
I really think the anti-student-loan argument is a red herring. Medical costs have gone up almost the same amount in the same time period without student loans.
my dream: urban roads (and parking) underground and multimodal streets above-ground severely road-dieted, with ample trees and micromobility lanes along them all. trees provide shade, reduces the heat island effect, reduces noise pollution (a bit), reduces air pollution (a bit), preserves soil and helps it hold more water, and overall reduces stress for pedestrians. adding mixed-use everywhere, with smaller pedestrian/micromobility alleys for accessibility, means people have somewhere to walk to rather than hopping into their cars for everything.

then you don't need to rely so much on speed limits, signs, and signals, because you've segregated (most of) the cars from people.
You appear to be correct, didn't even notice it happened guess I am boomer.

Yes, but does it propagate faster than the speed of light? Even if a gravitic field is weak, it would be my preferred mode of communication if it propagated "instantly" across space/time. And it moves at the speed of light [0] so there's no speed advantage here.

I see no reason a sufficiently advanced species would choose gravitic waves over any other EM wave. Does someone with a clue (not me) have any ideas why this would be the case?

Circuit breakers trip when there's too much current going through the circuit (enough to melt the wiring for example), and so protect from short-circuits: hot and neutral touching each other, or a short in equipment.

GFCIs protect against current leaking to ground, by detecting if the current flowing on a hot and neutral leg are different. If they're different, the current must be going somewhere else: to ground, through you, etc. The GFCI breakers do this in the breaker, the outlets do it at the outlet. As someone else mentioned, you can also have other non-GFCI outlets chained to a GFCI outlet, so that upstream outlet is the one that pops if there's a fault.

TL;DR they detect and protect against different fault conditions.

Just took a glance but it seems like this is exactly the kind of project I saw coming out of generics going live. I was really surprised to see how subtly hard go concurrency was to do right when initially learning it. Something like this that formalizes patterns and keeps you from leaking goroutines / deadlocking without fuss is great.
Mick West's analysis is very convincing. I don't think any of the publicly released videos show anything exotic. It's possible the pilots were deceived, perhaps through wishful thinking. Or the pilots understand the videos are mundane but guessed that laypeople might mistake the videos for something exotic and decided to have some fun.
Dark sector. 85% of the mass of the universe. Those dark sector astrophysicists have a tougher time, since their book keeping is only 15% off, and everyone just thinks they aren't measuring things precise enough.

>No, natural law is that which would exist without a government monopoly on violence

Governments don't have a monopoly on violence. There's plenty of that without governments, even in civilized places. Governments help lower the incidence of violence by banding the people together against as much of the violence that not having a government allows.

And under your form of 'natural law', there is no law except that which you can take. You have no rights, only force.

I prefer governments and civilization.

> there's no reason to drop classical gender as a classification except for ideological reasons.

Good thing I never suggested that.

Go back and look.

I never once suggested those things should be exclusive of one another.

> And if you pair this with dropping gender as a classification (the context of this thread)

Again: I never said that. In fact, no one in the thread I was responding to suggested that.

Go read from the beginning as it seems you've let your own ideology get in the way of your reading comprehension.

It all started with AnEro objecting to being asked about their gender.

Counttheforks agreed with them, saying it would be more inclusive to not ask users for that kind of sensitive personal information.

deelowe then asked "What should the option be when I'm searching for clothes and I want to filter out dresses and blouses?".

Counttheforks provided an excellent suggestion that involves classifying the type of clothing rather than asking for personal information about the user and then inferring what they're trying to do.

I suggested another alternative involving filtering by garment type/style. Those suggestions are certainly complementary and in fact countthefork's suggestion specifically mentions gendered styles as one way to classify garments.

All of this would improve the shopping experience while simultaneously making that experience more inclusive and not violating individual privacy.

Look, I understand, you apparently see culture wars everywhere. But if you wanna have that fight, you can do it with someone else.
Xkcd, this one https://xkcd.com/303/
Doctor was the tech bro career of the 70s and 80s. Big money, high status and not terribly high bar to get in.

Then it got popular and everyone knew it was the ticket to upper class and the job slowly got shitty. A lot of extra hurdles and costs got added, kind of like lawyers.

Now it’s a shitty business, pay is still high but the debt burden is extreme, the health care system is broken so hours and quality of work conditions isn’t great.

If you compare it to a career in FAANG you will be 1-2million ahead before a doctor sees his first patient. Not a good deal or the best ticket to the upper class
I am a big believer in right-handed neutrinos. They can solve many of the major problems in physics such as dark matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry

https://indico.cern.ch/event/356420/contributions/1764241/at...

The thing is that other particles appear in left handed and right handed forms but we only see left handed neutrinos. This means there is either a hidden kind of right handed neutrino or that the neutrino is it's own antiparticle (Majorana) which is about as weird.

This is not "physics beyond the standard model" it is "the missing part of the standard model" because the standard model admits that neutrinos exist but doesn't have known mass terms for the neutrinos. From an Occam's Razor point of view right-handed neutrinos have a huge advantage over sparticles, axions, and other particles for which we have no real reason to believe they exist. Neutrino mass is itself a mystery, a mystery which may contain a resolution of all the other mysteries in hep-th.

I'm sure countries in EU vary as well. You probably need less training to successfully drive in southern Spain than you do above the arctic circle in Finland.

I think part of the difference may also be that in USA you need to drive to participate in society (fundamental right -ish) whereas in much of Europe driving is seen as a privilege, albeit a very useful privilege.

I think the most convincing answer to Fermi is the dark forest theory. The reason no one speaks up is that there is good incentive not to - you get to survive as a species if you stay small and quiet.
That's not the point though, is it? The complaint above was that some people are getting paid without doing any work. Justifying this on the basis that 'they'll probably gamble it away' doesn't address the complaint at all.

In any case, it's a lot easier to seem industrious if you start out with a huge pile of cash than without. If you park it all in t-bills and live within the coupon income you won't earn any prizes but you won't suffer any real economic anxiety or accusations of impropriety either.

This is interesting because all these magical functions (zip, map, Rx etc) have roots in LINQ which sprung from .Net world. I find it hard to believe that the battle tested CLR and C# doesn't have the equivalent functions.

Right, that. And it's not like they're intolerable or anything, but they do represent a pretty high percentage of the time I spend messing with my house's electrical system. It's probably light bulbs (I swear, all but the crazy-expensive LED bulbs are blatantly lying about their lifespan, like by a literal order of magnitude) then GFCI stuff after that.
They're not hunting for the "best slice" because they want the best slice -- they just want a story to tell. Most people can't tell the difference between good and ok food.
On recent x86s, vector ops are generally the same speed as scalar ops, at least applied to xmm*. (Stuff like sqrt or division gets slower on bigger vectors, but that doesn't matter here.) Taking a quick look at the tables for firestorm/icestorm, it looks like the same thing applies there.

> the scalar ops to massage the tagged float (the shift ops in the example) are hella cheap. In JSC, we have sometimes implemented optimizations to remove those only to find that it didn’t buy us anything

Still get second-order effects from stuff like I$, or not fitting as much in your rob. Of course, for a JIT, this maybe has to be weighed against the time it takes to perform the optimisations, so I'm not surprised if it wasn't an obvious win in your case.

> it’s somewhat unusual to want to tag 32-bit floats in a dynamic language setting. Usually dynamic languages have 64-bit floats.

My primary interest is in common lisp, which has both single and double precision floats. Single precision is more than enough for lots of dsp-type stuff, and is half the size; better for memory b/w, and usually at least twice as fast when vectorised, too.

And has the advantage that you can pass it around without immediately without making integers and pointers slow :)
