Is that risky have an unsupported Android version?

My Nexus 5 still working ok, some problems started when apps started to drop support of the Android version, and that happens several years before it stopped receiving OS updates.

Don't want to downplay that will be great that OS updates should be longer that the current standard, but sometimes tech minded people here in HN thinks that a day after stopped receiving updates the phone is a useless brick ais not the case.
Last time I tried working things out it seems like concrete exterior walls with hydronic heat and external insulation would be a partial solution. But not really a thing you can add to most existing housing stock. And not a thing in the US.

Roughing it I think if you used batteries you'd need to supply maybe guessing here 80kwh during the evening and night time. With a heat pump you'd need 20kwh. That's doable. Course likely over all more efficient to let the utility handle the battery end of things.

Then again maybe a masonry heater makes sense if you often have excess solar and your utility is screwing you.
> We don't know what the lower bound of safe alcohol consumption is.

You’re right, but we have studies that show the levels that show harm. It’s possible that the alcohol in kombucha could harm us, but there’s no evidence. So it doesn’t affect our lives. The FDA doesn’t even consider it an alcoholic drink since it has less than 1.2%BAC. I don’t trust the government completely, but I think if there was any harm in the alcohol in kombucha (or bananas) we would know about it.

Again, you’d have to drink 4 gallons of it to get a buzz so even a baby’s liver can metabolize the alcohol in kombucha without causing concern for anyone.

Wouldn't help. The electrical noise will still be present when the noise gate opens (because the thing we're recording is above the threshold), so they can extract the frequencies they need from parts of the recording when there's signal (e.g. the voice we're recording). And since the signals can come from what the microphone captures, it's irrelevant if the cables are balanced.

> I would have thought anything that can radiate heat slowly and consistently would by necessity also absorb heat slowly and consistently

Aside from the technological measures mentioned in other replies, I'm not sure this follows. Thermal energy transfer is proportional to the temperature difference. So a high thermal mass storage can absorb energy quickly from a high temperature source, experience a small change in temperature, then expel the heat slowly into a sink slightly cooler than itself. That is a gross oversimplification but it at least it shows that the effect is not too surprising.

In the case of fine grained parallelism, where named registers allow parallelism that a rigid stack evaluation doesn't -- one can decode the stack instructions using a counter, the stack pointer, assign register numbers off the counter, and generate register-based micro-instructions that can be executed out of order or in parallel in the usual fashion. In this scheme the stack is stored in the register file, and the execution unit (or register-fetch phase if you prefer) has random access to registers.

It's just an opinion, it's subjective:

For example the only qt application i use is wireshark, it looks to me like windows 7, hijacks my input several times when i want to type somewhere else, hovering over menu items at the top is always off for me,...

And GTK seems to work better for me with tiling window managers, as popups are by default not windows (idk what they are), this way if I click on something and a popup or dialog comes up, it stays as a popup or dialog and doesn't take up half of my screen and splits my screen.

GTK isn't perfect, but at least it looks good and is more pleasent to use for me.

An example to work around this would be to run a validating resolver (for example unbound) on localhost of each host and have it forward to whatever DNS server you use today.

So I need to find a way to draw a light circle (1.5-2m in diameter) on the floor. Not filled circle, but the circular line filled with light. Ideally by the small "gadget" that can be placed on the floor.

I first explored lasers solution, but seems like all options are just too big, complicated, expensive and regulated(only 5mW lasers can be used around people).

Then started looking into options of using cheap light torches with some custom mirrors. And that's where I discovered that software for simulating light, mirrors and lenses starts from 5000$ per license. Some tools posted here (including OP link) are interesting, but still I have no idea if it's even possible to do what I'm trying to do.

One close reference I found in this fantastic video on designing custom mirrors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzemhuI1knQ

Author also discovered the crazy prices of optics software and went with Blender + LuxRender.

If anyone have suggestions on how to find the solution for what I need, I'd appreciate that.
There are multiple options in the US, the one in the article is only one type.

- you can own a “share” in a building where you have exclusive use of a part of it (tenancy in common in CA)

> Both Windows and MacOS sunset support for devices

Yeah, and they suck too because of it.

Truth is there should be no need for them to "support" anything. All they have to do was get their device driver code into the Linux kernel where it belongs. Then everything would work out of the box and the Linux community would support their device for them. If things change, the community will fix their driver for them. If no one does, it's because nobody's using it.

But no, they just need to keep making shitty proprietary software instead. As a result I get insanity like "manufacturer applications" that only work in a single version of Windows to control stuff like laptop fans, power profiles and keyboard LEDs. Software so shoddy it takes over a minute to display a window on the screen. I had to reverse engineer that crap and write a Linux version to make my system usable again. I went as far as my skills allowed me to go and the result was free software that will work forever. That's what quality means to me.

> "quality" means different things.

"Quality" here means shipping software continuously to a diverse set of users and having things not break down just because they'd really enjoy it if we bought their latest flagship phone. I get that on my Linux laptop, why not on a phone?

> But yes - volunteers do things that corporations won't.

Yes, and these corporations should be profoundly ashamed of themselves that they can't match what a bunch of "volunteers" provide even though they're worth billions.

Some professionals. It certainly seems to be the rule rather than the exception with these corporations. The copyright industry literally can't match the quality of the output of a bunch of "pirates" either: while they're streaming to their paying customers some shitty compressed video with artifacts in 95% black frames, "pirates" get blu-ray remuxes in convenient DRM-free formats.
I disagree that teaching what’s next for the student is a solved problem. Usually the resolution is too coarse and the speed is barely variable at all.

No. In Mathematica important operations like mapping functions over sets (arrays/tensors) at various depths have simple operators such as (/@, @, @@, @@@). You can do functional composition using @*, etc. You don't need to define your variables and functions before being able to write them in expressions. Often you want to have intermediate terms that have some temporary name, and which get substituted later on. The replacement rules in Mathematica are very powerful for this.

As another example, I googled some project Euler solutions in Mathematica and (pure Python) and found this: https://www.nayuki.io/page/project-euler-solutions. Compared to the pure Python solutions, the Mathematica code is typically much smaller. Of course this is not Sympy, but a lot of the Python syntax carries over to SymPy as well.
> I tried to like cmake for twenty years.

This statement alone automatically eliminates any credibility from what you said. CMake was revolutionized with CMake 3.0, which was released in 2014. Since then CMake became a radically different build system, and got so many things right it became the de facto standard.

Also, CMake is a build system generator. It's just a high level specification that generates build systems that you pick, like make, ninja, even visual studio and Xcode.

Both Chechnya and Dagestan are internal areas in Russia so this is more of a civil war than anything else.

If he does, that jumps this ship into conspiracy territory (conspiring to belittle those concerned, without evidence) and he doesn't, he should be immediately released from his position due to mental inadequacy (it's bordering common sense)

I've heard far dumber things said and no culpability so I imagine nothing to change.
It's a kind of tragedy of the commons. Few want to -or perhaps cannot easily- afford to invest the necessary amount to prevent deterioration. Even though, on the one hand they are incentivized to maintain the property in order to make it viable, enough want to simply pay as little as possible to patch things up enough to sell before the degradation affects selling price more than the investment in maintenance. Fla it appears has some prescribed inspections at certain ages to ensure the structures remain sound as well as have eliminated some loopholes. Other states and countries have further to go in governing long-term structural soundness of condominium properties.
That and the risk that trade with some countries may be at risk. I've been stocking up on things made in China as it will take time to ramp up manufacturing in Mexico, or at least I've heard that was the plan.
The article touches on this, but it seems like the intuition of the biohazard symbol benefited from the earlier radiation symbol. Both have a central object and shapes radiating from it.

In the case of radiation, the projections have hard edges and linear Direction. In the case of biohazard, the projections are curved. Curves are associated with Biology and hard lines and sharp Corners are associated with technology.

Both have three radial repetitions building similarity.

While the article calls the symbol meaningless there is clear intuition to both. There is a center and projections spreading from it. This indicates a source and danger spreading from it

>They solicited donations under false pretenses for PR points and then gave (or worse, sold) them to an exporter.

you don't know any of this, you're making it all up to please you misplaced sense of priorities. Perhaps they solicited the donations knowing that they would sell them to a recycler, and the recycler knew they could recover costs or even profit from selling much of this stream to flea markets, and recycle the rest. No false pretenses, not "or worse sold", just an "it's Uber Eats for old shoes" elevator pitch.
SymPy is very powerful, and at times, a little infuriating, but that is probably my own noob-ishness. On the whole, I am extremely glad it exists, we've been using it inside the PyTorch compiler for dynamic shapes, and it has been an overall great time.

I strongly encourage interested folks to pull it down and give it a spin. The printing/printer system, which the author touches on briefly with `jscode` is a brilliant way of converting sympy expressions into whatever you like. I found it a pretty smooth experience to write my own little printer.
Ask HN: Why aren't SQL queries compiled?
If the database knew what queries were running ahead of time and have them compiled you could easily defend against SQL injection because the SQL isn't being interpreted as it's run, and it would be possible to run analysis over the query to see if there are any indexes or implementations missing that could speed it up. Something like a stored procedure's variable substitution but not interpreted when called.

Hmm I don't think we're saying the same thing at all. I'm not saying patents are part of the reason companies don't care, I'm saying they didn't care before the patent and there is no reason to suspect the patent is the real reason they don't care since. If any part of the reasoning for why not has to do with the patent being there then it's not what I'm saying, even if it would sound similar.

Your statement makes no sense and reads like you have an irrational axe to grind regarding cmake.

CMake is just a way t provide high level descriptions of your project and from that generate a build system of your choosing. It does its job well and better than any alternative. Making random claims like "outdated" is meaningless, specially as you can use cmake to generate Ninja or visual studio projects.

That may be true but this “experiment” doesn’t show it.

For one thing, if he was busking in NYC he would earn an order of magnitude more money. Because NYC has more people who are attuned to music and use the subway.

For another, you’re failing about a performance in a subway. The acoustics aren’t great at all.

Finally, a classical performance isn’t ideal to attract subway listeners. You have a couple of seconds to draw their attention because most of them are on their way to catch a train, catch a connection, or reach their destination. So all this says is that the best musicians cannot draw the attention of people by a few seconds of performance.
