> These are predefined layouts for use in Time.Format and time.Parse. The reference time used in these layouts is the specific time stamp:

01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700
(January 2, 15:04:05, 2006, in time zone seven hours west of GMT). That value is recorded as the constant named Layout, listed below. As a Unix time, this is 1136239445. Since MST is GMT-0700, the reference would be printed by the Unix date command as:

Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006
It is a regrettable historic error that the date uses the American convention of putting the numerical month before the day.

Using the American convention is regrettable, but putting the year after the time is even more regrettable IMHO. Not sure which timestamp format does that? Plan 9?
PBS has lots of other similar channels, I liked the math one but it's been discontinued
'cup' specifically is not used much in Europe, I agree, but the various spoons are used everywhere.

That said, traditional recipes tend not use ultra-precise units like '200ml'... Rather practical units like "a glass of wine".

I have a copy of an old famous French recipes book (French edition) and I don't think 'ml' is mentioned once and most quantities are explicitly qualified as being approximate.

Again, this is about being practical by using measurement unit readily available and acknowledging that everything will need to be adapted, anyway. This is a kitchen, not a lab!

A cup of chopped carrots does not seem odd to me. Again, it stems from practicality. You get a cup, you fill it with chopped carrots, that's how much carrots you need. Simple.
Specifically to the arena, this required integration with the GC, so couldn't be done as an external library. Hence why a language spec was required.
yes, Java/C# GCs (Android included) and Go GC are very different beasts.

Go GC does not move objects in memory (mark and sweep) while other GCs (mark and compact) do, to avoid heap fragmentation and better throughput (see generational GCs).

One issue with mark and compact GCs is that you can not move the array of bytes during a system call. A ByteBuffer/Memory object, is an object that allocates its byte arrays using malloc, outside of the heap, so the bytes are not moved by the GC.
Find some small site or tool you usually use, identify the shitty parts you wanna get fixed, check if you qualify for the task (can you do it, can you afford it in terms of time and $), identify ways you can host it for free or ways you can monetize it, set a deadline, work on it.
You are the smarter one in this story. As soon as you understand that, you'll know how to find your place and ignore them.

Poly relationships usually start with one of the partners gaslighting the other into opening up the relationship while the other silently agrees to it even though they don't want it. People usually do it for stability on one hand and the feeling of excitement of having a new partner in the other without having to face the
repercussion because the other person "Agreed". My two best friends ( girl and guy ) were in a healthy relationship, the guy tried to open up the relationship, went completely downhill after that. I know small sample space. If you are unhappy just breakup and not increase complexity of the system. People will do anything rather than fix problems in their relationship.
> I have a pair of 5 year old redwing boots...

Ha! I have a 45 year old pair of Red Wing Pecos boots that's been resoled twice. Now just use them for yard work, though.
It's always been a pet peeve of mine that legal recognition of relationships is a thing (I understand there's tradition, and that it helps with a lot of common situations especially where children, inheritance, power of attorney etc. are involved).

Mostly it's that many relationships are complicated, and many relationships aren't as simple as the things the law recognises.

For example, I know a couple that are non-romantic life partners (that's the best description I can think of). They've lived together for 20+ years, are both single (but not interested in dating), and sleep in separate rooms. However they look after each other all the time, have a shared bank account, holiday together, have wills leaving everything to the other, and take jobs to make sure they can always live together.

From a legal point of view though, they get none of the benefits (or drawbacks) that newlyweds get, and their relationship isn't recognised for e.g. immigration purposes should that ever arise.
The TAB character is not any different from the separator control characters.

It is as non human readable as the other ones. It's just that it got more support historically.

If e.g. Microsoft had used the separator control characters for CSV you can bet those control characters would have even better support than TAB does today.
I dislike the nvidia experience on linux as well, but you can undervolt nvidia cards on windows (and yes that makes me cringe).

Most of the food in the grocery store in the US is not produced abroad. Especially perishables like dairy which have import restrictions and would be too pricey to bring in from far away.

Stating the obvious (?) but it may be a reference to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland where nonsense is a key theme, culminating in a Mad Hatter's Tea Party where we witness riddles with no answers, the need for respect during confrontation of ideas, and the risk of conversation descending into absolute meaningless nonsense.

You'd be surprised how many there are though. It's often quite easy to trace the seller using the Companies House website which now allows free company lookups. The companies are often held by a chain of UK based shell companies and agents ultimately leading to a random virtual office in Hong Kong.
I wrote a quadratic equation root solver based on one I found, but optimized for UX & more efficient use of built-in functions :-)

It is a FAT32 partition; most DOS versions are unable to read it.

It doesn't; UEFI doesn't care what is the boot image, only that there is some. You can register as many boot targets as you want. Check efibootmgr in one of your debian instances, if your installer is not capable of doing that.

It's like history books describing same-sex people as "friends" in every occasion.

They were together from early adulthood to old age and lived together -> "friends" :D
This is the worst kind of comments on HN. Snarkiness without argumentation, condescension and depreciation of some good and interesting work. Just don't post anything instead. If you're salty or don't like Go, do yourself (and the community) a favor and don't click on submissions related to Go.
Actually the lightning to 3.5mm adapter has a tiny little DAC chip in it, and it's also a very good one.
Taxing work instead of wealth greatly encourages Swedes to start companies. I think that is a big reason why we have so many successful start-ups from Sweden. Sweden discourages the corporate climbers, it is a very bad way to make money here, I don't think that is bad in itself, it means that smart people will try to do something outside of existing companies, either by moving abroad or by starting a company.

But I am not stupid, I too moved to Switzerland to work since it netted me many times more money per hour worked. That is why I said that Sweden isn't perfect, I'm not sure what the perfect system is, but Sweden is still pretty good.
Nvidia already does sort of break that divide, don’t they? By offering cuda on consumer cards, they offer a gateway to curious users, and something to get by with at home for professional users. I think intel was late to the game with Arc because they insisted on making a card that could compete with 80-90% of nvidias features on their first mass market try, and had to build much of that infrastructure from scratch.
It is nice project for CV. I would hire you immediately.

Much harder problem is getting rest of the eco system working on something else than mainframe.
A few $/month for each user for API access or perhaps free for verified/blue users would make sense.
Much of the really well made stuff that we buy here in the US also comes from China. They are now quite capable of very high end manufacturing as well.
The author has probably seen mob justice played out in the fedi and didn't want to irk them.

I've seen it play out and it's disgusting.

The author should be commended for staying true, but tbh, if they don't do it today someone else will do it tomorrow. EVERYTHING you post in the fedi should absolutely be considered public information.

You should have thought of that when you banned them all for saying that the sky is blue and water is wet.

The "Don't tread on me" side of the population - I don't think "the right" is the correct term here - tends to be want left alone by overreaching governmental busybodies. They also tend to be more on the traditional side of societal norms - again not something which is limited to "the right", there are plenty of traditional left-wing thinkers who did not like the "free love" movement of the 60's and don't like it still - so are not wont to go for polyamory unless they happen to be Mormons and talk about polygyny.
Recently, I was rather surprised to come across this video[0] in the gaming space, a tutorial for manually determining a videogame's intrinsic camera parameters using a common Computer Vision technique (although it wasn't referenced as such, which I'm assuming is to avoid intimidating the audience with technical jargon)

The interactive tool demonstrated in the video was made using an online graphing calculator called Desmos[1], an interesting use case for something that was usually thought of as just for demonstrations.

I think some architects will offer this kind of supervision of the project as a service. I don’t know to what extent these are handled by different people at the firm from the design part but I expect there are small firms where one person can do both.

I think it’s wrong to think that all architects are like celebrity architects. If you’re designing a house there may be room for weird designs (if that’s what the client wants) but I think there’s also just a lot of technical or boring details that are handled by architects too.
Thanks for the feedback, I have updated it.
Its getting rather complicated to select a framework for high performance computation. But it is also more important than ever before because the automatic speed upgrades of CPU's are long gone.

Ideally one would like a library that checks at least all of the following (in no particular order):

* open source with a good community around it

* written in popular, modern, easy to use programming language

* offers complete functionality: linear algebra (including ndarrays), special functions etc. Numerical Recipes is a reasonable checklist of what is needed

* has an intuitive, "math-like" API that expresses well mathematical expressions

* makes optimal use of all available hardware (multi-core, GPU, cluster) without the need for (too much) specialized programming or tuning

* can integrate easily with other programming languages / frameworks as part of bigger projects

Those days there are quite a few candidates, from numpy/python, to armadillo,eigen,blaze,xla/C++ to various rust and julia libraries. What we don't have is an easy way to select :-). On the plus side, if the project is still in the early phases / not too big, it is relatively easy to try out and migrate. But a detailed and updated comparison table (e.g. in Wikipedia) would indeed be quite handy.
No. People hate ads because ads are lies.

This is formally the best way describing what/why it does. Even the best open source things have basically just codes, not this kind of documentations.

Try dospara, although I have had my account for over 10 years, I don't remember any issues like that with them.
Agree, but just for the people asking themselves "why would you do that?": these are not necessarily servers accessible via the Internet, e.g. you can run godoc locally to serve your documentation, or you can serve your UI via HTTP, like e.g. the moggio music player (https://github.com/mjibson/moggio)
I've seen similar with EU power consumption legislation toggles. Default off, for no good reason.
Good question: the difference is humans don't go around trying to gaslight people into thinking they do not possess the ability to generate novel thoughts, going as far as to actually deny it. :)

(Obviously there are other differences as well - it is not human level or even close. But humans don't generally engage in this gaslighting behavior.)
On the other hand, it's kind of embarrassing when you don't have your external communication sorted out.
> But they've had them for two centuries. Why not one final positive gesture to end the chapter?

Because like almost everything else, medicine has been exponentially improving in the past ~two centuries - meaning the next decade will be much better suited to do something useful with those bones than any that came before.

It would be a shame to destroy those bones, only to regret it 20 years later, as some new imaging or sequencing technique is developed that could be applied to those bones to benefit the living who suffer from related ailments.
It's just 3 days after Twitter cut off API access for a bunch of developers without warning.
Context for those not following: Twitter has silently shut down their API for many third party clients without any communication. Companies with apps that have been using the API for 15+ years are left in the dark:

The issue is that people have noticed problems accessing the APIs and they are speculating that Twitter is preparing a change to API access which would put more restrictions in place.

Here's a report from New Relic about Java use among their customers (who write closed source) from a year ago, and the Java 8 exodus is continuing: https://newrelic.com/resources/report/2022-state-of-java-eco....

Java 8 is still definitely used in applications that no longer see much development, and it will be some time for before it mostly disappears, but those applications don't benefit from new libraries either.
This article reminds me of my father. After my mother died, he's living alone in my home town. He spend most of his days without talking to anyone, but I know he's keeping a diary. And I'm sure he has a lot of story to tell, but the problem is how. As a shy Japanese man who's born in 1940s' he isn't a very talkative type, especially to his son. I think I should go back seeing him occassionaly, but I might still miss the opportunity of listening. I'm just writing here to remind myself. I should do something about it. Probably.
The majority of dead people from two centuries ago held views and wishes for society diametrically opposed to how many live their lives now — either because of religious dogma or simply a lack of understanding of things we do understand now. Are we going to cherry-pick which of their wishes are just and which completely bonkers in hindsight?
Now is the perfect time to check back in with your developer account to see if you haven't been banned without warning.

Its pretty amazing to make Google seem like a beacon of stability, but Twitter managed to do it. I feel for all the developers scrambling to make a mastodon app now in an effort to restart or secure their clients, and wish them luck.
So if I create a free Twitter client that has 10000 users, I will have to pay Elon 80000 Dollars every month? Seems a worthwhile effort ;-)
because twitter just blocked the API keys to the most popular third party apps, without any messaging whatsoever.
If only there was a proper tutorial/course for it...
Maybe there is? Can you link any?
Is there something that can do the tree-shaking of the Java program?
If you (plan to) shut down an API, it's kinda nice if you communicate this beforehand rather than just pulling the plug and keeping everyone in the dark.

One often overlooked interesting property that comes naturally with many mechanical computers (and also applies in this instance) is reversibility [1]. Meaning that not only the input can influence the outputs but also vise versa. Furthermore, this means that no information is erased and it could therefore theoretically perform computation without consuming any energy at all [2].

Interesting to see how anthropomorphic the language about the black hole is, in the first few para's - "...gatherers, not hunters. They lie in wait...sloppily devours...belching...gobbled...".

Vs. the reality is that the the whole process is just as deterministic and conscious-free as water flowing downhill. And after para 3, the article's tone and language change to straight & sober science.
free market requires competition, otherwise it stops optimizing for providing better and better value propositions

each market is an optimization algorithm, but if the search space is too big, it gets into a pathological state (market failure), and any economic surplus resulting from optimization goes into keeping it in this state (which is likely profit maximizing for a small subset of participants, sellers or buyers, depending on monopoly or monopsony situation of course)

Amazon spends its profit on crushing competition instead of providing a better marketplace.

Regulations are ineffective if they can't move the market out of this failure mode. (I.e. fines have to be big enough and the actual compliance has to affect a large enough part of the market.)

As long as it takes a few months (or less) to set up a new established seller of things, and as long as the advantage of having a non-fraudelent business is less than doing these scams, the scamming will continue.

Fundamental dilemma of Amazon is that they want fungibility. A book is a book, even if it's new, mint condition, used, dusty, hardcover, paperback, large font, high quality, cheap paper, fancy cover, etc.

But this works well only for books, where it's obvious to check. (Are every page readable and present? yes, great. no? refund.)

But this breaks down almost immediately where fakes and knockoffs and cheap shit is much cheaper to produce (so the price is very competitive), works kind of okayish initially (so hard to check for non-experts). For example any appliance and furniture (see the endless variations on office and "gaming" chairs, tablets, powerbanks, USB hubs, cables, gadgets, mouses, keyboards, monitors, dietary supplements, fitness machines, car addons, etc.)

It's part of Secured Core spec to reject the 3rd party root. Same with other vendors implementing it.
Probably from having seen this happen in their own circles? The "cite your sources" thing is rather tiring, it is an appeal to authority where no authority is required or even desired. There are no "experts on polyamorous relationships" who can tell people how to feel when their partners decides they need a little more excitement in their life after all, or are people now expected to follow the "experts" in their love life as well?
Start with figuring out what persisting problem in your daily life or in the lives of people you know you can solve. When I'm stuck, I try to remember what complaints came up a lot and try to build something around that idea. If it doesn't stem from issues relevant to me, I tend to forget about the projects, so it helps.
Ask HN: How do companies support their developers work?
Hey HN,

I'm a developer at a large company and I'm curious to know how other companies are supporting their developers in their work. I'm specifically interested in the ways companies are helping developers focus on their work and remove obstacles that can get in the way.

Do you work at a company that has implemented any unique or effective practices for supporting developers? Are there any specific tools, processes, or policies that have made a significant difference for your team?

I would love to hear about your experiences and any advice you may have for other companies looking to support their developers. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Nonsense. In most of the world you can tear down a bunch of houses, merge the parcels, and build an apartment building.

It might require permitting, but zoning is not an issue, because outside the US zoning tends to be based on activity nuisance levels.

In the US however zoning tends to be exclusive and a lot more specific, so you can (and cities do) zone large areas as single-family residential meaning you can not replace single family houses by MUAs without rezoning the area, a much more complicated, expensive, and lengthy proposition.

Not to mention US-style exclusive zoning also by definition precludes mixed-use developments.

>Household income is not wages per person.

True. But it increased because personal income increased: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

Furthermore, two income households have decreased as less people get married, so the personal income is even greater than that graph.

>Getting a job and hiring a nanny, maid, and gardener creates fictional household income, because homemaking is assigned $0 value by the Fed.

That's just nonsense. First, very few households have any of those, and certainly not the median house.

And, as the graph above shows, median personal income has vastly increased over the same time.

If you want to make stuff up, try looking up the data before making false claims.
