Long time Garmin user here

Have not noticed a drop j on n software quality.

What specific metrics would you put forward to back up your assertion?

As the saying goes extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
The article explains this. They are either dating each other or dating older men.
Half your age plus seven honey :-)
A reasonable ask using Arc Lang & Library is the power to problem solve a hobbyist's project in three weekends knowing nothing from scratch.
TSMC has tons of custom IP on top of ASML machines. Apple could try but becoming leading fab company is something that could consume significant part of their cash without guarantee they'll succeed, and even if, that's a very long term project.
> If you need to move fast and don't absolutely need the strongest reliability guarantees, then Rust is a tar-pit.

That's true, but other type systems will likely fit your needs. For instance, if you're doing web, Elm's type system is head and shoulders above the more traditional options.
Sorry for being unclear, I mean what is your motivation?
The juice about the bug:

> On the morning of Jan. 26, as two Alaska Airlines flights from Seattle to Hawaii lifted off six minutes apart, the pilots each felt a slight bump and the flight attendants at the back of the cabin heard a scraping noise.

> ...a software bug was sending bad takeoff weight data to its crews...

> ...To determine the thrust and speed settings for takeoff, Alaska’s pilots and others use a performance calculation tool supplied by a Swedish company called DynamicSource.
It delivers a message to the cockpit with crucial weight and balance data, including how many people are on board, the jet’s empty and gross weight and the position of its center of gravity.
In a cockpit check before takeoff, this data is entered into the flight computer to determine how much thrust the engines will provide and at what speed the jet will be ready to lift off.

> [!!] the bug [..] only presented when many aircraft at the same time were using the system.
Naw, it's my sincere thoughts on the matter.

Everyone else can do as they please, of course. I don't care so long as you don't pester me to get married.
Mostly on Reddit. Reading about what is like to work in USA, and different countries.

Assuming you believe prices represent value, then if you believe that high-income earners get more out of roads than they pay for them, either low income earners get less out of them than they pay for (regressive taxation), or the price of roads is simply too low. Either you think the premise is wrong, or I’m missing something.
We have a bunch a problem that could be solved by tech progress. Tech progress is pushed by more brains. More sticks in pop fertility's wheels reduce the number of brains available to work on said problems.
Google provides backup keys you can print out and place in a safe. I find that to be the best solution generally.

I also think there is room for different methods for different services. For work accounts, I can contact my boss and have them ship me a new hardware token if necessary- losing only a day or two worth of access (It is even possible for the company to temporarily remove the Hardware Token requirement- or to allow me to enroll a Hardware Token I can purchase locally if necessary). That may work okay for a bank account too- where the bank can verify my identity.

For services with not human interaction, pre-generated backup codes seem the most sensible to me.
There's nothing in the Constitution about "consensual" and "nonconsensual" searches, but border crossings at the time of the founders were subject to warrantless searches.

That is very strange. I assume you’re not using the same hardware in your home computer. Without knowing your setup, it’s hard to say anything. Are you using the same BLAS and LAPACK libraries? You can check with `sessionInfo()`.
A neat feature for HN would be a built in dictionary tool that would allow users to select their intended meaning for ambiguous words.

Especially since the demographic is prone to being literal.
Nothing surprising, yes this is mostly about top 10% of men dating several women each. Inequality in action.
Efficient Docker build with SSH Docker daemon
Working with Docker for 8+ years I've seen many teams struggling with build process optimization - mostly around CI config for efficient cache re-use. I was surprised very little literature mention that a Docker daemon can be configured as a remotely available server, allowing for a de-facto secure remote cache and build engine.

I've been using this pattern for some time in various teams and projects with great results. Coupled with a simple Dockerfile optimization (and BuildKit cache mount when needed), Docker builds are mostly smooth and painless. It also has the advantage of avoiding overcomplex CI config to optimize cache re-use and vendor-specific cache features.

Your feedback and comments are very welcome as I'm relatively new to this "share your knowledge publicly" thing :)
And don’t forget to first uninstall every snap correctly and be sure that every snap virtual disks is unmounted else you will be left with random undeletable crap on your hard disk.

>A man who is financially autonomous, practices basic hygiene and grooming, wears tasteful clothing, and approaches women with respect and manners has nothing to worry about... one interesting hobby...

Congratulations, you've just described 95% of men who are gainfully employed in fairly technical white collar sectors of the economy.

You're getting down-voted because they are probably the single biggest demographic on HN and their experience doesn't match what your alleging it to be.

Why do we need billions of humans?
Those figures are for "young adults". (20s I think? The article isn't totally clear.) The article mentions further down that some of the extra women are dating older men.
But then your supposed to finish reading it, and have some charity in your interpretation. The gp implicitly recognizes their epistemic bias by affirming they should be open to scrutiny.
My father used to work in a manufacturing plant where they would weigh the trucks coming in and out. The scales had to be in a fully enclosed garage or any breeze would throw the reading completely off.

I have a hunch that this same issue might be even more of a problem for an airplane.
> “Guys are taught to prioritize career,” Karo said. “Also romantic relationships, although it doesn’t seem like they’re doing a very good job at that. Making friends and keeping friends seems to be a lower priority. And once guys get older, they suddenly realize they have no friends.”

Not surprising. Friendships take time to form, and many people have to deal with extreme working hours - a point I detailed yesterday in another thread.

The article states 60/30% of young people, so the correct interpretation is that older men are "taking" a large share of the young, single women / young women prefer dating older men.
Could be that younger women are in relationships with older men and that older women are more likely to be single.
“Nearly half of all young adults are single: 34 percent of women, and a whopping 63 percent of men.”

If the population is roughly 50/50 how does that add up? Are there lots of men in two relationships at once? Or are younger women primarily dating older men?
For me the real key here is this:

>In her verdict, United States Magistrate Judge Camille D. Bibles disagreed. Powers, she wrote, “was reckless and negligent in his preparation for a hike of this magnitude from the outset.” He hadn’t packed a GPS device, paper map, or compass, instead relying on a cell phone mapping app that was useless without service. He had failed to bring a headlamp or flashlight, instead relying on his phone’s built-in light.

He went into the wilderness alone without even the most BASIC of supplies. I'm no serious outdoorsman, but I'd never consider doing what he did. That was grossly negligent. He created a problem for himself, and then created a massive problem for everyone else trying to get out of it.
To answer your question, no, the daily stand-up is not the least disruptive tool. There's much better alternatives that can be tried and tailored to each team but nobody does because the stand-up is so entrenched in the industry nobody bothers.
How can I convert my negtive karma in to positive?

Unicode had a builtin language tagging system to resolve glyph variants. Han unification was implemented with this in mind. Then the tagging got deprecated in a later version.
When I was young I thought art is what looks pretty but over years I learned art can be anything. Ugly, pretty, political, abstract, a framed drawing, a dirty bidet placed in the middle of an empty room. Now the core property of art to me is that it is always self-expression. The question becomes, there's no self to express, how is it art?
And, importantly, Apple continues to show up with even more big bags of money. Giving Apple de facto right of first refusal for new node capacity is as much about maintaining TSMC's relationship with its most important customer as it is about this year's bottom line.

Isn't it possible to improve Snap? What are the blocking points?
- Apps installed as Snaps are slow to start-up. Why?
- Snap from time to time asks to close a Snap-installed app to be able to update and often it seems it cannot update anyway. What is going on with this?
> Sure there are things that largely overlap, but still two vastly independent set.

Yes they are by no means the same aspect but the technical (the design part) and "social" domain (how human actors interact using the technology, what incentives they have to contribute, how easy it is to contribute, how to form consensus etc) are never very far apart.

My argument is a general one. If, say, ten years from now wikipedia is to have the same quantum leap impact and positive role it had twenty years ago (when it first got going) it will have to be much more ambitious. But that ambition is unlikely to be served well by a forever centralized service because most knowledge is produced, stored and consumed in distributed ways.

Just for conreteness, think of all those other sources of public knowledge: from openstreetmap, to research paper archives, musea collections and many other public institutions of all kinds (laws and regulations, public statistics etc). Right now everything must come to a centralized store but the size of wikipedia is already flattening [0] and a lot of that data never gets referenced or is a very cumbersome manual job.

In any case, as per link in my other comment some federation is part of the plan (wikibases) and there is the broader "linked data" movement. Its just that at some point those ideas have to get real legs and start walking :-).

As a user of Bloop at my own startup I can say it's an amazing tool. It helped us a lot with two things 1) technical support questions from customers and 2) on-board new engineers and help them get up to speed by understanding the complex code-base faster

Great work!
I said "near monopoly". Companies with an outsized share of the market may be subject to extra scrutiny.
I sincerely believe that I am a respectful, reasonably attractive, healthy, financially successful and emotionally mature person.

I found dating so hopelessly difficult in America, that I decided to literally learn another language and relocate to another country. I felt like I had no future in America because of that. The difference where I am now is night and day. I have had to decline more dates and advances, which never happened before. Which I feel confirms my belief in the toxicity of dating in America.

In America, I had many women who were my close friends. They would regularly initiate conversations, share personal details of their life, and even stay at my home some days. In fact most of my friends were women. Although I have introspected on this greatly, and certainly have grown, I believe this is additional evidence that, perhaps, the problem is not me but the environment.

Most people don't actually like batlle royale, its just happened that most free games at the time were battle royals.
Now that are many more options, battle royals games aren't as big anymore.
That's ridiculous. Poly relationships are a tiny minority and even there most stick it to two partners - everything above that just takes way too much time to juggle next to a full-time job.
> I wonder if it would be possible to put a weighing pad at airports for a double-check.

A few modern pickup trucks have a system for measuring how much weight is in the bed or being transferred through the tongue of a trailer because of how common it is for people to overload their trucks.

AFAIK these systems just use the same sorts of suspension height sensors that have been used for auto-levelling for years and are factory calibrated to know that if the rear end squats by X distance then there must be Y load in it.

Seems like something along those lines would be technically easy to retrofit to large aircraft, possibly even as a software update if they already have some relevant sensors.
> The last thing though - “hybrid algorithms leveraging AI efficiency” sounds an awful lot like a buzzword sales pitch.

It's supposed to. Investors want to hear this, not some crap about efficiency, when the entire world is talking about AI.

Edit: TBC, I care about efficiency and it's not crap, but that's likely the view of investors.
Didn't the M1 MacBook have the much more basic issue of only supporting a single external monitor via HDMI?
And yeah...we know how that works in America.

From what I understand, it is a problem in the tech sphere. But caste is not a protected class because it should not exist here. So, depending on how this law is written, it could extend anti-discrimination protections to groups that otherwise don't have it at the moment.
I don't know that it's meant to be 100% for every employee's benefit. Disallowing companies from paying off their employees not to talk cuts off a means that companies have to hide wrongdoing.

After paying you off, the senior member of staff could do exactly the same thing to your replacement who, without the context of your experience, might assume that no one knew what was happening to/around them (when everyone around them knows) and/or that there was no recourse (although the company was fearful enough of you to pay you off.)
thanks, that is an interesting tidbit in this context
Yep, They are part of the ecosystem now.
I’m not sure I expressed my point clearly. It wasn’t quite about Apple. So I will reformulate it here: the fate of any instruction set on the desktop is primarily decided by Microsoft.

Do you have any information that Microsoft is planning to support RISC-V at least as well as x86/x64? (That is to say, not with something like Windows RT, or Windows CE)

That would be tremendously good news, I shall add.
Hi, just your average American here, please forgive my lack of understanding. I was under the impression that the system of using a father's first name as a son or daughter's last name was intended to disrupt caste identification by name. Is this not the case? I'm asking genuinely. I have worked with a lot of people from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and it's been something I have struggled to understand.
What a fantastic article, it perfectly hints but doesn't go deep into each sub topic.

To state the perfectly obvious but carefully avoided in the media: If you want to have a great healthcare system you'd better have a lot of babies and/or a lot of immigrants.

If you didn't have the required amount of babies you are going to have to have migrants. The quite popular right wing anti-imigration position is actually horrific.
Well, it's not exactly about age per se from either side. If we're going by the crass (but largely true) stereotypes, then men are driven by looks, and women (notwithstanding any "bad boy" dating inclination) are more looking for a protector/provider (i.e. maturity/money). Maybe with more men living with parents due to economy/housing/etc, this has an effect.

yes and each other
Actually a gun is a great signalling tool. By convention you fire 3 shoots each hour with one minute interval.
That's a consequence, not a cause.

Python survived the 2->3 transition because Python was already in a dominant position and heaps of programs had to work, for better or for worse.

For a language with a lesser adoption, such a transition would have been a death warrant.
You seem to conflate "good" with "cheap"; particle board is "just" cheap, it's not good.

Plywood will be stronger, lighter, and deal better with humidity, it is "better" as material on pretty much every measure.

Correct, the max penalty under WARN act is 60 days pay. I fell into the first bucket you mentioned. I was on the payroll for 60 days, but had all access to systems disabled and was expected to do no work, though the company reserved the right to call on me should the need arise.

I am curious to see how this works, since my severance was accelerated stock vesting, and was given in return for agreeing to the non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses. If those aren't available any more, I wonder if companies will be less inclined to offer severance since they get less in return.
If I could not speed up podcasts, I would not listen to them at all. As a matter fact, before I had access to a podcast player with this feature up I did not listen to them at all.

There’s way too much fluff, even in a good technical podcast (these actually seem to be the ones that neglect all editing, so many speakers are half ‘ums’ or long pauses while they come up with what to say next) and of course the “fun” podcasts are mostly made of fluff and are largely unlistenable at below 2x

Comments like these get tiring. Not only do young men have to suffer in silence but now they have to read stupid comments like this which are nothing more than gaslighting.
The men in those horror stories that you mentions are not the ones having problem. They already have women in their lives.
"George Floyd died because of a drug overdose not because his airway was cut off by a knee to the neck for almost ten minutes."

The M.E. found 4x the lethal limit of fentanyl in his blood, and he had a habit of swallowing his stash whenever he made contact with police.

Have you ever taken EMT, CPR or life-saving class? One concept learned was ABC as Airway - Breathing - Circulation

If your airway is cut off, you can't breath.

And if you can't breathe, you can't draw or expel, rather, move air. This is why there is an international sign for choking.

If you can't move air, you can't make your vocal cords vibrate.

So how can you say, "I can't breath" and yell at the top of your lungs if your airway is cut off?

That simply doesn't compute for anyone who has medical training. It is an insult to intelligence. Anybody who has been through any medical training at all knows that an obstructed airway makes little to no sound, let along screaming on top of your lungs saying "I can't breath."

Also, your windpipe is not on the back of your neck so a knee there cannot block it off; of course, if you're making sounds, your windpipe isn't cut off or kinked.

What's more likely is that Floyd was experiencing shortness of breath as his pulmonary system was being depressed and in collapse by the 4x lethal dose he ingested.

That's not to say police didn't act inappropriately. The overdose was obvious to me immediately and they should have taken lifesaving measures, but I have watched too many people overdose not to see through the bullshit.
Ah apologies. We maybe live in the same area (I am in #1 in the US I think by most accounts), so you might be my neighbor :)

And yes, not Seattle. I don't live in Seattle. I didn't mean offense. I just worked at a lot of companies with very diverse cultures, and not picking on Indian people, but I have experienced this "problem" (it is a problem but it wasn't a problem for me, so I dunno) several times.
It is truly remarkable that the distinguishing characteristic of human intelligence vs other animals, conceptual reasoning, is not mentioned. "concept" appears 0 times in this paper.
Nice open source project, but ironically I feel that it would take too much of my time preparing shortened audio books.

My wife and I have both been family plan members of Audible for about 10 years and when you include their free audio book Plus Catalog, we have probably well over 1000 shared books.

I sometimes speed up listing by up to 1.5 times faster for books that I like well enough to finish, but not 100% liking. For some books I really like, I may end up listening to them two or more times - so it is not all about saving time. Yesterday, I was 3 hours into a 12 hour book and I was not loving it but wanted to enjoy the ending so I skipped forward to just the last two hours.

Even though I am mostly retired, I find there is not time enough for much of what I would like to do. My personal best strategy for getting time back is learning how to enjoy just the first few episodes of streaming video series, and then stopping unless I really love the series.

One last thing on the subject of using time effectively: I find that the recall from reading some books I really loved is far from perfect. My wife and I subscribe to the Blinkist service, and I find a really good use of time is to occasionally read (or listen) to a 15 minute summary of a previously read book and then spend another 5 minutes thinking about the book.
I've heard that (I'm not experts on this, so correct me if i am wrong) making SRAM is huge different than making processing units (ALU, FPU or others). But CPU needs both SRAM and processing units. Marking always show best case only, therefore the final product won't as good as the marketing numbers.
I'd also like to mention that this guy's situation isn't really related to his phone. He was on trail (albeit the wrong trail) and sounds like he was panicking due to dehydration (he tried drinking his piss) meanwhile he's right beside a creek. If you're doing 18 mile hikes, bring a water filter or some other water treatment method. If you happen to find yourself in a situation without water treatment, drinking directly from a stream is usually a far better option than drinking your piss or risking dehydration. Yes, there's the risk of microbial diseases but those will generally take a while to kick in and you can hopefully get back to your car by then and go to the doctor if that happens.
As an ML researcher I think about learning a new language like rust whenever I see articles about it appearing here. However, when I consider which parts of my job could be easily replaced with another language besides Python, the list is nearly empty.
