Ok. Had to read Harland's Seamanship in the Age of Sailing to figure it out.

She's a "dull" one -- unable to tack without making sternway, which definitely is not a compliment. But many ships apparently could not tack without making sternway, so this not an inaccurate part of the simulation.

Applying all the tips and tricks in Seamanship, I can now at least get her head to wind before losing leeway. (Quite a few sail adjustments).

Wearing is easy enough (a 270 degree jibing turn). So I'm off to see if I can "boxhaul" her to change tacks. :-)
He’s been baiting this for years. I guess he thinks there is more money to be made whining about being cancelled.
For now, I went ahead and listed your repo myself! I'm still thinking about allowing users without accounts posting repos because of the potential for spam. I notice other directory sites typically require some user info as well, so let me know if you have any ideas about that.
Ask HN: Is GitHub‘s mobile tree view navigation broken?
For months, when navigating through a repo’s files on mobile, the back button is consistently broken. The URL will change, but the view doesn’t. I have to swipe back multiple times to go anywhere (and typically I end up where I didn’t expect -- multiple history items back).

The only workaround I’ve found is to literally reload the tab after tapping back. Or to not use back at all and navigate via breadcrumbs.

Is this just me? How has this not been fixed for this long? Is this a dark pattern to push people to the mobile app?
A totalitarian surveillance state that murdered 40 million of its own citizens and forcibly aborted three generations of first born baby girls. Rapidly increasing its military capabilities to destroy democracy and dominate the globe under socialism ‘with Chinese characteristics’.

Might be a clue in there.
I personally think there's a difference between saying "I have qualms with this app" and questioning its usefulness as an app as well as its viability as a business (Dropbox comment) and someone offering an alternative/simpler way to achieve a cool result in a blog post (parent comment). The latter is useful for folks hoping to replicate the results (for instance, I now know I can use FAISS instead of having to go sign up for pinecone).

OP seems to feel the same, they replied to parent.
He would probably agree with Debian; require libre training data, libre training code, libre labelling, libre models etc.

He would also have something to say about not using AI for critical decisions and allowing folks to appeal AI decisions etc.
I love coffee and I have found a few places in my city that makes coffee I love. So I stick to those places and it really makes my day. Bad coffee makes me cranky! And instant coffee even worse! However if instant coffee works for you then great! :)
That was a bunch of malarkey, I don't know if it's irony but funnily enough they did it to make their devices last longer...

https://www.ifixit.com/News/9472/ios-update-slows-iphone

Our goal is to deliver the best experience for customers, which includes overall performance and prolonging the life of their devices. Lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components.

Last year we released a feature for iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE to smooth out the instantaneous peaks only when needed to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down during these conditions. We’ve now extended that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future.
> Since when is the default economic behavior for humans a benevolent and unselfish one? You don’t see people just hanging out the extra cash in their bank account

We see this all the time. People don't act like economic automatons; people do plenty of things for other people without any economic benefit to themselves.

I don't know why so many people hold this poisonous viewpoint.
I was in Argentina, spent a day visiting outdoor markets to buy some art, and hit up a recommended pizza place for an early dinner (8pm).

Having been out all day, I needed to use the restroom. Turns out the bathroom shared a brick wall with the back of their wood ovens. So this bathroom was like a fucking oven, and super compact. I touched the wall like an idiot and burned my hand.

The pizza was excellent.
Every time I see these lava lamps mentions I wonder if there is a more energy efficient way to do this.

How about a bucket of mixed colored beads that is periodically vibrated ? A number could be derived from the order and colors of the beads.
There is no context to that poll. That's the whole question. I was hoping there's more, but it looks like it was just done to create controversy and attention. It's a meaningless (yet loaded with subtext) question that the author had to realise will do what it did. And people like Scott can grab onto that and cause more havoc on top with a side of some ignorant spicy takes.
I would be shocked if both weren’t happening at the same time, I can’t imagine all the poll respondents knew the context and I imagine many were taking what was said at face value.

Impossible to really know peoples reasons for disagreeing with that phrase which makes it maybe not the best polling question to ask.
It happened over many months. I was a student at that time and had a poor diet. Mostly ate vegan food with lots of fruit.

I have had numerous tests done and everything came back as normal. Following fodmap diet currently but it’s very restrictive. Almost everything triggers my ibs symptoms
OP, This looks really cool. Do you know what the housing situation looks like for Summer interns at NASA? That is, do you know if interns receive a housing stipend?
I'm pretty sure he said he was proud of his step-son for killing himself since the only 2 ways to deal with mental health issues in America are suicide and school shootings.

That man sure has opinions.

edit : I got it slightly wrong, he's saying parents of people with mental health issues have two choices : killing their own kids or watch people die

Somehow that's worse

We don't even need new tech, Switzerland for example has been doing direct democracy like this for ages.
Mathematica is a comprehensive symbolic manipulation engine and functional programming language written by a physicist starting in the late 70s. It has been used to solve various real world physics problems since the early 80s. It has been commercially available since 1988.

> And half said “no”

A “thin majority” said yes per the article. Disclaimer: I haven’t seen the actual poll numbers.

If he was trying to make some comedic social commentary, he should’ve aimed at the poll question itself. Our society is too polarized to find the nuance and if he didn’t understand that then he was overconfident in his market value as a cartoonist.
I'd argue that using something like SBERT + Faiss is easier and would take less time (you do not have two account creations + one billing setup), plus a working example of SBERT + Faiss is probably total less than 10 lines of code.
This is incredibly backwards: people on vacation tend to go to places to explore or be on the beach or whatever, they will typically opt for smaller spaces because a) it’s usually a place to sleep and b) it’s not permanent. People like house because it is where families spend a majority of their time, so have more space makes sense.

I also think you missed the part of owning property…because you don’t actually own it…just try not paying your taxes :)

How many people would you say be okay with having a homeowner run a meth lab next door? So back track from there and at some point there does need to be a line. I am not against building more housing, I think that would actually be fantastic, but if you think that people having total free reign over their properties ends up in a sunny picture, there are plenty of global examples of how it doesn’t.

If we extend your idea over total freedom in home ownership, why have building codes? Why have regulation on the mortgage/loan process? Why have anything that supports trust in the market?
Podcast – We’re All Gonna Die (with Eliezer Yudkowsky)
I started programming in the 90s. The other day I found some of the first programs I ever wrote (in qbasic), and ran them in qbasic 4.5 on dosbox on my Mac laptop.

I was running an arm laptop, emulating a modern x86_64 chip, emulating an old i386 chip, interpreting a qbasic program unmodified from 30 years ago. Sound, graphics modes, input events - all of it worked perfectly. I didn’t try running it on windows, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it just worked there too without even needing dosbox.

Backwards compatibility on phones is a joke. Decades of phone software is totally lost to history, impossible to download or run anywhere.

The web isn’t much better because old websites go down. But at least modern browsers will still happily render webpages from the 90s just fine.
It's not clear from the article why the USCIS suggestion[2] to apply for a change of status is not a reasonable one.

You can't work, but if you're in the highly skilled visa category, you reasonably should have a buffer of funds to handle this risk (and if not, that's generally your mistake rather than your employer's or the US government).

Last I looked[1], the estimated processing time for my i539 change to a B1/B2 was 23 months (currently 13mo in CA, 19-29mo elsewhere), during which time I'm able to look for work, just not actually perform work as an employee. I didn't accrue unlawful status either. That's a lot longer than 60 days that is being complained about.

If you can afford it, take a break, take some time to recover post-layoff, travel, live cheaply, focus on building things other than your career. The 2020s have been tough. It's worth it to remember that and come back to work refreshed rather than burnt out.

Sounds like a business plan to me.

these are rather limiting. why 1?
How would the government go about destroying evidence in a defendant's possession?

(If you mean "Has the government failed to meet its burden of disclosure regarding evidence in its possession:" yes, it occasionally happens. The significant incentive against it is that it's immediate grounds for a mistrial and incredibly embarrassing to a prosecutor's office that has it happen on their watch).
>well if what you're telling them to do is buy a hot stereo out of the back of a truck, that's illegal

You're dodging the question.

If I buy a replacement Home button, I expect the fingerprint sensor within to work. The fact is, that expectation is objectively right; it neither breaks your arm or picks your pocket.

That's the entire reason why we're getting right to repair laws, for that matter; society agrees with me, and not you (and so you're wrong, by your own rules).
Do you think that fact is due to a technical limitation of fiat? Amenable to a technical solution? Or, is it rather maybe because of rules and regulations (that are roundly ignored by crypto)?
1. Stop renting whole homes. Stop being part of the problem.

Why is this a problem?
You say this stuff is incredibly hard. Kaba says it's impossible and don't try. I say it's easy. I whipped up a JIT to make my virtual machine go 50x faster. I never expected Blinkenlights to go faster than Bochs. Now all the sudden it's outperforming Qemu for many of my use cases. People are doing stuff with it I never expected, like booting the Linux Kernel and running Alpine Linux on Cygwin. Garbage Collection is easy too. I wrote a GC using the NSA POPCNT instruction for an experimental LISP dialect I wrote last Winter called Plinko. It ran faster than any other LISP interpreter I've seen, as measured by the GC-intensive binary trees benchmark game. The only thing faster was SBCL with JIT which was only a hair faster than Plinko using just an interpreter. NIH is awesome because the truth is, when you're focused on your own needs, outperforming the big official things is like shooting fish in a barrel. Technologies like the JVM aren't great because they're better. They're great because they've carefully crafted the long tail of edge cases and compromises that enables it to be good enough for the largest group of people. Generalized software is at a huge disadvantage because bloat fills caches and it can't use special case algorithms. For example, people publish papers all the time bragging about how they beat the performance of the C++ STL at some given thing and that impresses the people who never tried, but it honestly isn't that hard if you consider the burdens that the STL is required to carry.
This wasn’t my experience with de-googled (edit) grapheneos.

One week, apps started throwing an uncaught null pointer exception on startup because their network permission was revoked.

Even without that, random apps (especially for charging EVs and parking, and especially if it was raining) would just plain break for a few weeks, then start working again.

It would be nice if there was a commonly-used android compatibility suite for developers (of apps and of roms), but there isn’t, so everything is flaky once you are slightly off the beaten path.
The kinds of people who will read this comment are by and large not the people who need to take heed of its message. You’re yelling “fire” in a movie theater full of deaf people.
What’s your process for hotels? I’ve found brand names to be reasonably good international qualities of service and problem resolution
Lol. At least my host only asked for $100 for the inconvenience of having to vacuum his entryway
For 1, I’m not renting any place where I have to stay in a spare room. This is because the host is too huge a variable. Maybe some hosts I wouldn’t mind staying with, but it’s quite stressful to guess what you’re going to get and they could end up being a rapist or mentally deranged.

Worse, some of those spare rooms are just not much cheaper than a hotel room anyway. Sometimes the only real advantage they have over a hotel is location.
Fundamentally, similar to freelancing sites that learned their customers were really the businesses paying for work... airbnb has learned its customers are the businesses renting out rooms. There's an unlimited supply of people seeking work or a place to stay. There is a limited supply of paying for work or renting out rooms.

Hence, it's very much not in airbnb's interest to "crack down" on people renting out rooms. They know it's a problem as they have all the data. They willingly refuse to act.
And how, might I ask, are the "charts" looking for anti-Western rhetoric in Chinese media? ...yeah.
> If you're looking for someone to aim at

here's another scapegoat: companies like vacasa that buy up entire apartments and own 20000+ units in a city to put up on Airbnb. They're not beholden to the zoning laws or employment restrictions, compliance, etc that hotels are bound to. Yet operate basically the same way. not to mention cleaning fees scoot by, while resort fees are getting banned
It currently looks as if all AI’s trained on internet texts basically become really good simulators of toxic people on the internet. Full of gas lighting, lies, extremisms etc.

So perhaps maybe the goal should be to make better AI’s rather than “more powerful” toxic people-on-the-internet simulators?
Angular Reactivity with Signals
There are five basic problems here with these rating systems in general:

1. Not everyone leaves ratings so there's a selection bias;

2. Everyone uses a different standard. The number of times I've seen a restaurant 1-star review that basically said "the food was great but we have to wait 15 minutes for a table when turning up unannounced with a party of 12 on a Friday night" is astounding;

3. Psychology makes people disinlined to leave bad reviews. The article mentions this with the woman trapped in a room. To me that's a safety issue and should be an automatic 1-star and a complaint to AirBnB and possibly to authorities. She didn't want to hurt the owner's business? The owner is a parasite;

4. Ratings inflation is a real problem; and

5. The platform is incentivized to having high ratings.

The last one is a big one and not talked about as much. Think about it: if you, as a user of AirBnB (for example) leave low ratings, that's bad for the platform. Other users feel less confident about using the platform.

The side effect of this (intentional or unintentional) is that you want to make it harder for these people to use the platform. If you're Uber, you might not match them to a driver. If you're AirBnB, you might hide certain properties or make it more likely that the owner won't accept their reservation.
One thing to consider is, do you need comments at all?

Some people use twitter as the commenting system. You assign each post a unique hashtag. People comment on the post by incorporating the hashtag in their tweets. On the post page, i think there is a way to show tweets using that unique hashtag
Does a standalone cellular watch exist (as a daily driver for everything you’d expect in that form factor)?
Prepared statements are parameterized (avoiding SQL injection) and can pre-compiled (what this really means depends on the implementation.)

> Dextroamph on its own already raises that to such a ridiculous level that if I'm not careful on it, my body can actually act on thoughts before I even try to move. That has only happened once, but it was so fascinating that I noticed it immediately and committed every detail to memory.

I've spent a lot of time pondering how conscious I am and my answer is not very, what we label as "impulsiveness" and "hyperactivity" are just symptoms of the fact that our brain is in control much more of the time than the average person, whose abilities to self-sooth and visualise and utilise goal-directed behaviour mean that their minds take control far more readily than mine does.

As I side note I suffered anxious sweats for a few years - except when I took ketamine. Now there's a substance that can make you really feel connected to your body (operate your body in manual mode!) while also letting you experience your mind trying to retrofit a coherent narrative for the previous 20 minutes or so during which it had been basically turned off, leaving the brain in charge.
Sounds like a good idea but might only be attractive to the technically inclined as the average person doesn't want to deal with rsa keys. They just want to set a master password to access their vault.
Quite the opposite of heavy. Currently using 12.6 MB of memory in Task Manager. I've had it running for almost 15 years (I'm the developer of it), usually tracking many hours of activity each day. It stores all information in an in-memory database that uses a very compact memory format and can be set to automatically prune events that accumulate very little time into the parent activity.
A toy such as... DXVK, elementaryOS, Geary, GTK, almost any GNOME application, GStreamer, i3, libfuse, libcamera, Mesa, MPV, Cisco's OpenH264, PipeWire, PostgreSQL, Qemu, SciPy or systemd? I guess our definitions of what's a toy are different :)

It’s not a dog whistle. It is literally white supremacist propaganda but that’s not the same as being a dog whistle. There’s no hidden meaning to the phrase, white supremacists actually do believe that it’s okay to be white.

There are very few rail companies and the sector is considered by some to be highly monopolized. You can draw easy connections between this situation and all three of your points.

If you let a company grow too large it's essentially impossible for the government to effectively regulate.

If you let a company grow too large it's essentially impossible for profit news companies to effectively cover it.

If you let a company grow too large it will eventually act in a manner so ridiculously irresponsible that you can literally observe the consequences from outer space.

This is a failure with seemingly a very simple root cause.
Hard work is necessary but still insufficient. High intelligence is still necessary too to excel at research-level math. You need both, and also it does not hurt to have a good advisor, math program, and connections.
A future compromise of a publisher key by a malware injecting party cannot compromise you if you don't update. Pulling from a tag leaves you open to this at any time without warning if the image publisher is compromised.
How many teachers in the real world are actually engaged in "a highly-attentive in-the-moment back-and-forth and with the student, sensing where they do and don't follow or understand a lesson"? A lot of the time, the pretense of "allowing them to discover for themselves" simply turns into not teaching at all. This whole notion that students will simply educate themselves on their own may be a comforting idea, but plenty of evidence shows that it's just not true.
While those are (mostly) dead now, it would be unfair to say they never took off. In their day some of these were huge,and enormously influential on what we have today.

News (NNTP) basically _was_ the Internet before HTTP came along, and still exists today, albeit in niche form. I still check News every day.

Your standard seems to be "things that were one popular, but have been replaced." whereas the 90's were full of ideas that literally never took off. Like cuecat https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat

And don't get me started on the blink tag. That was huge, if anything, overused. That was activly killed (for good reason) because it made most Web pages beyond horrible. For some reason non-computer people weren't happy unless like half the site was blinking all the time. It was beyond terrible.

Frankly the jury is still out on VR headsets (an idea from the 60s that simply won't die.)
"satire" isn't a defense for this guy

There's this trend: people say awful, transgressive shit and then say "oh we were only kidding"

Also there's another trend: megalomaniac celebrities falling off the far right deep end and saying progressively crazier shit

I don't remember it being this bad in the early 2010s. It's only getting worse. Young people see this and it becomes more normalized, they become more desensitized to hate. Politicians come in and funnel this hate into legislation. I can't see this heading in a positive direction
