Mullvad offers flat rate $5 (no matter 1 month or 12 months or 120 months) and never have any sales so I'm surprised to see these[1] prepaid amazon cards ARE offering discounts: 12mo @ $4.75/mo & 6mo @ $4.83/mo esp. when these are /physical/ code-card purchases

The only unique thing about the Theranos fraud is it seem Holmes didn't make an overt moves to profit off the inflated valuation of the company.
So now you’re going to have half assed cross platform products that you still have to have a bunch of #if ios preprocessing statements and won’t take advantage of the native features.

As a developer you will always have applications that are behind and have to wait on the third party.

This has been the case with every cross platform framework ever. See also JNI.

In the Econ 101 model of the world, there are no beans to be gained in war. Changing what you produce does not increase what you produce. There are only beans to be lost, by producing weapons of war instead of producing what markets actually need and want.

This is called the "broken window fallacy". See e.g. https://mises.org/library/broken-window-fallacy.

I have many disagreements with the author of that article, e.g. I think his model of the economy is not realistic enough to be useful. But I think perhaps his model is exactly the kind of model that people have in mind when they think of economic nihilism: an infinite number of perfectly-fungible cyborgs all trading perfectly-fungible goods and services in an idealized frictionless free market. But it is in exactly this model that the broken window fallacy is the most obviously fallacious!

I pay like $7 for the server and $3.50 for the storage.

I plan on self hosting the hardware and just paying the electricity, which should be about half the cost per month.

I also host a lot of other apps on the box though like selfmade apps, VPN, nginx routing stuff
Warning labels were part of an effective strategy to curb smoking. This is from the same playbook. Warning labels on alcohol have been shown to reduce consumption in localized testing, as stated in the article you are commenting on.

While most people have some idea that alcohol is had for them, the link between cancer and alcohol is not widely known. This is also reflected upon in the article.
I guess this is different because the false advertising has lead to deaths, and it wasn't "shot" the same way a commercial was. Commercials seem more like little films, where this seemed more like a demonstration. Dunno if that makes any difference here, but that's my reasoning as to why it's different
They raised all the international prices last year. For example iPhone 14 is $800 / £850
I have more than 18 servers in discord, 8 tabs in iTerm, Textual IRC, iMessage, Music, Signal, TextEdit, VSCode, and two different browsers running right now on an 8GB M1 Mac mini, with no issues. Then again, neither browser is Chrome.

Safari has twelve tabs open across two windows, and Arc has sixteen tabs open.

Checking "memory pressure," I'm in the yellow zone, so I definitely agree that 8GB is not enough. But perhaps you should look at alternatives to Chrome in the meantime.
There was just one thing I needed to know - Did they ditch the touch bar? Finally, they did!

I have an M1 macbook air because it was the only one without the bar. I've been waiting for this for a long time!
My NUC11Pro has 64GB of RAM and 2x SSD, and is way smaller than Mac Mini. Not sure why Apple thinks they need to dumb down smallest form factor for market segmentation reasons.
I'm an Air convert after years of using 15" macbook pros. Small, light, amazing battery life. Feels just as fast on all 'normal' tasks. If I'm doing some work that needs a lot of power, even a maxed Pro wouldn't be enough.
There's a number of biofuels that emulate fossil fuels. Ex: Ethanol emulates Gasoline. Synthetic bio-propane seems to be available too.

I had thought this was about the NSA spying on US citizens, not about five eyes' actions, which is still ongoing I thought.

Note: re rumours, there are rumours, and then there are facts widely known.

No one I knew had even a shred of doubt re:five eyes, it was not "tinfoil hat" stuff, merely "this is how this works".

Even now, I do not see how five eyes is even remotely illegal.
Abortion was generally legal in the US until after the Civil War.

It's almost as if you can summarize the entire thing as "what you believe is based on where you were raised", and as a message board of "intellectuals/thinkers/tinkerers" who are collectively aware just how much can be learned/how much information is out there (online, talking about HackerNews), it seems weird that this is like... "accepted" at a national scale.

Not that we have any control of it. It's just weird...
If you define "left" as "political movement that represents the interests of workers", then yes, the American "left" is a bad joke. But pmdulaney was referring to a very different coalition in his usage of the term.
Just to clarify, when you say "not for beginners" do you mean beginners to Rust or programming in general?

He, uh, just said that. If you're tracking profiling metrics like he is (lifetime of a call-stack, maybe?), you need to know.

That doesn't say anything at all sadly.

Ruby people seem to be sensitive when someone asks them about performance, my last question about that was downvoted heavily here.

I don't know any Ruby, I know how much Go can handle with the stdlib, a single non-parameterized route, returning "hello world". On my machine xeon e3-1275v5 with 8 threads 1000 concurrent wrk about 220k/ rps. Errors start appearing (aka non-200 results) between 5000 and 6000 concurrent.
Don't forget to ulimit -n 10000 or more before you start wrking.

Alternatively can you provide a simple single route hello world in Ruby so I can bench it myself with this Ruby 3.2 YJIT? Maybe also how to build and run?

Yes, I'm being serious.
I'm also guessing that Ruby with Rails has a large overhead compared to Go and just the stdlib. So that comparison wouldn't be fair, but I guess it is what it is, since we're talking semi real world scenarios (yeah don't get your ocd panties in a bunch) and Rails AFAIK is the standard for Ruby web development while the stdlib in Go is also used quite often.
Yeah. No joke. it is even on the departure chart: "Departing Rwy 1 requires expeditious intercept of outbound course to ensure avoidance of P-56 boundary"
Lol that would happen if they were actually concerned with exec/elite behavior.

This is not about protecting children. This is about clamping down on civilian rights to control the internet and indeed, civilian ability to communicate freely.

If children are being harmed (and they are, more than we’d like to imagine), the answer is simple: shut down social media.

Seriously. Yes we’d lose time wasting places like this. Yes we wouldn’t be as tuned into media ongoings. I’m sure many here will chime in to say how HN or similar has saved their life.

Don’t care, social media isn’t more important than the health of our children. And these companies have shown they don’t care and that profit is more important.

Thus, they needn’t exist.

But that won’t ever even be on the table. Because they don’t give a flying fuck about children. They want profits and control.
Ask HN: What happened to flatbuffers? Are they being used?
A few years ago, their was a talk about flatbuffers[0] being a memory efficient and quicker method than JSON.

If you actually think that you dont know the language very well. It's baked into Composer, all the major frameworks fully use it as to almost every major opensource project that isn't prevented from doing so by legacy code.

And honestly if you're a PHP dev intentionally avoiding the widely adopted standards and know someone else is going to have to maintain your code then shame on you.

I was only a guest scientist at LBL, but LBL is practically in Berkeley.

But yeah, generally I assume this is true, though you may just find that you need a car and that if you have one it's not so bad. For instance, NREL (where I was also briefly a guest scientist) is in an incredibly gorgeous area near Golden which isn't super small but everything is still very spread out and it'd take a while to walk anywhere for sure.

I guess it also depends on your definition of "middle of nowhere" I suppose. Golden is hardly Oakland, but I am pretty sure I could find people to date as long as I included Denver... and if you have a car in Colorado you will find that Denver is considered close to a lot of things you might not at first consider it close to. It's only an hour drive from Boulder (where I lived and drove to NREL as needed).
> So you took the wrong lesson entirely?

No, you just have poor reading comprehension and poor understanding of the problem.

> The real lesson from it would seem to me to be your first thoughts on what steps to do first in your build may be wrong.

If you list the targets "a b c d e f" in make, then you can move 'f' into the front if it is very slow. If you use something like CMake, or another generator, you will lose control over this ordering, and it isn't always clear how to recover it in a non-fragile way.

And yes, Shake has profiling tools. That's how I found out what the critical path is and why Shake was better at this path.

> Non-determinism can be handy for discovering new things about what you're dealing with, nut once you've got it; for heaven sake, lock it in.

Lol. Bad reading comprehension. Please don't bother commenting on things if you literally have no idea what you're talking about. I realize that's a big ask on this site (where shooting your mouth off and trying to sound smart is more valuable than being smart) but you'll waste less time with it. Thanks.
I'm also learning lisp, mainly as a part of learning emacs, so I may not be super accurate here. In python, when you have a reference to a function, its a bit opaque, you can tell the thing is a function, but I don't think you can really go into the function object, and alter it lets say. You may be able to using the AST or something, but its not a "first-class" thing you can do.

In lisp (and code is data, data is code), the function is also a list, so you would be able to use all the normal programming tools to iterate over the list, add new items to the list, etc, which can change how the function runs.
Indeed, these very same people who demand a well-armed and trained _personal_ security detail are the very same people who enact laws to deprive the convenience store worker from having a firearm to defend themselves with while working in the middle of the night.
There's nothing special about a "this is what we're aiming for" or "this is what it could be" concept video, or even a "this is how it works in the best circumstances" video.

What matters is:

(a) whether you clearly communicate which kind of video it is, or make misleading claims

(b) whether you clearly communicate dependencies, release schedules, etc.

(c) how things are framed, e.g. whether the video is shot on a test track or things are made to appear like they are in an everyday situation

If you look at other similar promo videos from other OEMs at that stage of development, you'll find that they often take place on e.g. locked-off test tracks where each car in play is driven by a professional and often pre-faced or end with clear words on product availability and what it's subject to.

Some of these OEMs are even willing to take the liability for their product once it becomes available. These come from the same place ...

I wish I could buy shares in this company.

However, what makes them great and unique is that they're ideologically motivated, so of course they're not selling shares.
I have worked with Congressional Progressive Caucus affiliated representatives, but this "No True Scotsman" of Left is ignoring the OP's point. Relatively, us in the DNC are to the left of the GOP. End of story. We are not Far Left like a Communist Party, but we 100% are a coalition between Center Left-Center.

And it pains me to say as a Progressive, but our movement has absolutely been hijacked by the "elite". There's a good article about it in the Harper Mag (https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37628920/rad...) and I have definetly seen this in my network of friends who work in the Media, Government, Law, VC, and Tech (3rd generation upper middle class/upper class, attended the same 20 universities, went to the same 200 high schools, 60-40 White-Asian).

If you're from a working class Black, White, Latino, Asian, Indigenous backgroud, you don't have the in group network to leverage the levers of power. And any activist organization that wants to help the working class ends up having to kowtow to donors who always fit the archetype above.

That said, this 100% is happening in the GOP as well. Among their network of staffers and journalists, it's the exact same architype as above except more like 80-20 White-Asian.

At the end of the day, Bari Weiss, Carl Tucker, Rachel Maddow, $insertJournalistHere are all different sides of the same coin.
> So it should be allowed to implicitly trained to favor one political view over another?

How about collecting a representative sample of all data for your training data?

Or at least, trying to do that as best you can.

Saying "there's no way to avoid the bias" is just an excuse to get away with being biased, in my view.

My wife and I are still sticking with writing it down on paper. I've tried to find a proper solution as a web app or mobile app, but the ones I've tried are a pain to use.

I'm surprised that none of the mobile apps I tried will send me a notification prompting me to enter data. Instead I have to remember it myself, open the app, navigate through a few screens and finally enter a single data point. Ugh.

Instead I should be prompted to enter the data via a notification, and when I tap the notification the app should go to exactly the right place to enter the data. It should be: a notification pops up, tap notification, enter data, save. That's it.

Yea, the default in Bash changed at some point too, but in either case your terminal emulator has to support bracketed paste mode. (Basically it puts an escape sequence before and after the pasted content.)
It is however nice to warn younger kids that something scary is ahead. Images of violence can be traumatizing. Attracting adult attention to suspected bullying is also nice.
This seems like the standard conventional doom-and-gloom that someone is always selling, because there is a market for it. And sometimes they are even right. If WWIII breaks out, yeah, things will get bad. There was always something in the past that "experts" were warning about. There was the population crisis mass starvation worries in the 70's, nuclear war in the 80's, peak oil was going to disrupt the 90's, Y2K was going to cause a great depression in the 2000's, climate change, etc. At one time, the crisis of the day was that China was going to be overpopulated, but now it is because of underpopulation. If you want a more high-brow tech related "the end is near" scenario, why not be more worried about AI? Just think how most people are at least somewhat immune to the advertisement / mass persuasion techniques of today. But what happens when there is an army of bots with the equivalent of 1/10/100/1000 human minds working to sway each person on an individual level of various political things? Will we have time to muster a suitable defense if the offense comes on rapidly enough?
It's more productive as Ruby and Python and much faster than either? Is that not reason enough for some to choose it? I'd argue that of the PHP, Python, and Ruby it is Ruby that should die. It's the same use case as Python, but harder to read and just as slow.

It is a single threaded runtime so to parallelize a map you will need to serialize the items and ship them to another node process. A bit like dask in Python.

These problems come out anyhow when people run the build on a different machine with more or less cores or other issues then the people who are just users of the build have a problem.

The worst problems are when nobody realises that a parallelism issue has happened and the binary for some tool on your phone OS gets generated from the old rule instead of the new one and it's just an invisible random bug. Not sure shuffling would help that exact problem of course.
I've got a pretty complex system that's evolved over time. I'd say my meta-system is that I track everything with simple command line scripts, which makes this system super flexible and adaptive.

E.g. I can type:

today wake 8:30

to record that I woke up at 8:30am today. Similar for other stats. All this gets saved in a simple JSON file.

I then have a bunch of scripts on the backend that can read the JSON file, display it in column form, graph it, dissect it, and so on.

For example, I can do

series annotate wght -f annotate:Low-carb -t annotate:"End Low-carb" | graph

to display all the annotation (these are the major life events/trials) and weight data from the beginning of a low-carb data to the end, and display them in a nice graph.

I think the problem with off-the-shelf solutions here is that these aren't flexible enough. E.g. at one point I went through and compared major life events to see if any of them had caused changes in my sleep patterns or weight. At the time I recorded the data (almost a decade now) I hadn't even thought of this, but it was very easy to build the functionality in later to match my current needs.

I think the closest US equivalent in this case is chapter 7 bankruptcy.

If I've got it right chapter 11 is more a reorganzation and restructuring, while chapter 7 is disposing of the assets to pay off the creditors.

This is the latter and UK administration process is usually a sell off of the assets, occasionally a company is sold as a going concern, but mostly it can't be and gets sold as parts.
I’d be delighted if everything that was as risky as tobacco, asbestos, alcohol, etc had health warnings. Same with foods: full dietary info, plus excess sugar/fat/etc labelling.

Only 25-30% of Canadians know that alcohol carries a cancer risk. A lot of Canadians drink well in excess of “safe” limits. Informing the public allows everyone to make a conscious choice about a significantly risky product.

No one knows these things intuitively: they need to encounter that information repeatedly before they will know it well enough to use that information in making a decision. Adding a written warning on the bottle label is a sensible, inexpensive, effective way to accomplish this.

I want to be more informed, not less.
iPhone cameras are absurdly thick compare to the thickness of a laptop lid. If you've noticed, they've also gotten even thicker over the year (the camera bump has gotten thicker). Nobody will want a laptop lid as thick as their iPhone + camera bump.
I wouldn't call them unrelated. They're both charging connectors with magnets. (I know the iPhone one is wireless, but still.)

Also, the laptop side is on it's third iteration, so at this point "MagSafe" is more of a category than a specific connector.

Apple dynamically scales the GPU memory while Windows GPU memory must be reserved. If you have 64GB of Ram and want 32GB of VRAM you now...always.... have 32GB of system memory.
