Just two? I've gotten used to the fact that there are just enough breaking changes between the versions that each major release is different. Now if we add another axis that measures the number of type hints, that's twice as many languages. That's easily getting close to 20. Luckily there's plenty of overlap in the syntax.

In Chicago, it's done to keep the alleys clean. There's a long history of people digging through dumpsters and making messes, providing homes and hospitality for rats. A previous mayor had a real phobia about rats, and made locking up dumpsters a pretty serious rule.

I once worked at a place where the owner would come by and dive our own dumpsters once a week, then he'd come in and chastise us if we'd thrown away something like a broken stapler he thought could be repaired. It was weird though because we rarely got the item back repaired. He still bought us new staplers.
Uncontrolled burning of trash is much worse than a proper landfill. Modern landfills are constructed with water barriers and do not poison ground water. Old trash dumps were a problem but that is not what is happening in developed nations.

Of course, in some areas of the world, both uncontrolled trash burning and unregulated trash dumps are used.
> As with job candidates, meeting 50% of the requirements is pretty good.

If a candidate (for anything) meeting 50% of requirements is “pretty good”, whoever created the list of requirements does not understand the concept of requirements.

Presumably they would have to offer so much more than competitors to make the job attractive that it's infeasible and reworking the application into something modern -- something even current employees are likely to be happy about anyway -- is preferable.
I have a friend who puts the blame entirely on microplastics because its been shown microplastics upregulate estrogen (or something to that effect).

Is this accurate? No idea, not a biologist.
Is there any large scale proof of this testosterone crisis? When I looked into it I found a lot of theories and assumptions but no real evidence for it.
From what I understand of the process, simple incineration (i.e. put it in a barrel and burn it) is the problem. High temp incineration does break up nearly every possible carcinogen of hydrocarbon origin into simpler non-carcinogenic compounds, with the caveat that if it’s high temp while using atmospheric oxygen it will likely produce a lot more NOx emissions, which is also bad.
That's unfortunate that updates will break games on Steam Deck that had previously been working fine through Proton. But unless we want Valve getting in the middle and requiring various validations like Microsoft and Sony do on their consoles, there's not much that can be done about it. A strong refund policy on Steam might help, but to have any impact it will require significant numbers of Steam Deck users to initiate refund requests when compatibility breaks.

I still have hope for Linux gaming because the Steam Deck clearly has appeal that goes beyond the extreme niche that was Linux gamers prior to the Steam Deck's release.
2 x 32GB ECC UDIMM DDR5-4800 RAM is going around for ~280$ here (including a %20 VAT, so I'd assume it would be a little bit cheaper in the states). Not really unreasonable considering regular DIMMs (albeit with higher speeds like 6000) going for 400$ for the same configuration.

The PS Vita was ahead of its time. I own a secondhand OELD model and the hardware is AMAZING, considering it is a decade old. The home brew community added lots of value with the emulation ability and the fact that sony abandoned the console.

Yes, the vita was a flop at the time but i am convinced that if sony released a modern equivalents, it would sell like hotcakes. Where i am less certain is of what this means for sony’s strategy - and there i agree with you. Two consoles with two different graphical capabilities could be a disaster. Or it could not? I don’t know.

When my startup was acquired a few years ago, our infra was hosted at AWS, but most of our "cloud features" were used more for monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding. The real work was done by Windows/SQL and .NET app code. Ours was a messaging application that we tested to support about 350 messages/second, and we had to integrate with the "big co" backend after we were acquired. The bigco back-end could handle about 3-5 messages/second.

Our main production "infra" was a load-balanced pair of medium CPU front-end servers and a high-memory back-end for the SQL server. Theirs was approximately 20x the size, and a more "traditional" cloud microservices, etc. infrastructure. Optimization makes all the difference. So many of the "extras" just add unnecessary complexity, just like avoiding those "extras" probably does when they actually are required.
There are various projects around in which diodes are put in series with resistors, either alone or groups of them to achieve softer clip, plus asymmetric clipping when different number/nature of diodes are used; experimentation can lead to very interesting results. At one time I simulated using tunnel diodes too, which according to the simulation should have produced some unique waveforms due to their negative resistance, but when built my prototype didn't work at all. I had no experience with them however, so I may retry one day.
Generally "game detection" is done by finding apps that use full-screen exclusive presentation. Could also look for windows that are doing the "borderless windowed" thing. That should be pretty simple and accurate on its own.
Its not open source until the weights are available. I have the hardware I need to run it but the required files are not available unless you receive special access.

You explained an aphorism, which is fine, but you added the gratuitous "sloppy thinking" which is not.

An aphorism by definition doesn't contain all the nuances. If we looked through Eisenhower's whole life, which is pretty well documented, I'm sure we could find lengthy explanations of his approach to war.
In addition to stimulating higher Test, I would go ahead and guess that the cohort had more lean body mass and few overweight individuals. All together, these things make an large difference in male fertility.

I like to say something along the lines is “80% of all development should be really boring otherwise you didn’t do enough planning or you’re working on < 1 year old start up”. To me the real excitement isn’t from the code working it’s from a whole team making something that works because that is way more challenging.

> And most important of all, ignore everything social-media hacks say about building your audience. It’s not that they’re wrong, but as soon as your goal is “building your audience” it’s over. You’re corrupted and you’ve lost.

Yes.

While audience building is all nice and fun, it also sucks some joy out of things. And once you have an audience and it starts going “We don’t care about _that_, write about _this_” … sigh.

I’ll be at 20 years of my blog in 3 years. But I strayed towards the audience and monetization side. Sometimes wish I hadn’t.
I can't express how much I related to this. Actualizing/praxis is the big blocker here and it's so hard to break out of my programming. I think art has a liberating effect here, but I'm still 'going through the motions' of feigning 'work' without necessarily introspection since..

Im not working for anyone but myself at this point. I saw a comment on HN along the lines of, I don't need to be maximally efficient because the cause (corporate profits) won't ever justify the means.

Hopefully we both find a way out but I'm beginning to suspect that out in just another way back in, without a drastic reframing I fear I've grown too complacent on the usual. Maybe reading Nagel might help, or maybe Tolstoy :p
I don't know how common working with ranges is in Zig.
Ruby would iterate on multiple ranges by converting them to arrays

one = (1..3)
seven = (7..10)
(one.to_a + seven.to_a).each {|n| puts n}

I suppose that if it was common they would have added a + method to Range.
Actually I think that's possible to implement it with a refinement on the Range class.

Yup, it works. First time I ever used refinements.

module JoinRanges
refine Range do
def +(other)
self.to_a + other.to_a
end
end
end

using JoinRanges
one = (1..3)
seven = (7..10)
(one + seven).each {|n| puts n}
Smaller models are typically dumber. Sure you could fine-tune a smaller model on say the medical domain and they might even perform better on some benchmarks but they won't reason or generalize as well. domain finetuned large models >>> domain finetuned small models.
And because competence in one area bleeds over to other areas, you often need much less domain specific data to finetune on compared to the smaller models.

You can see instances of this with Minerva, where the finetuned 540b version beats the finetuned 62b version despite being finetuned on only a quarter of the data the 62b version was finetuned on.
Big publishers came back because Valve offered them a sweetheart deal, much better than what's offered to small devs.

That is not accurate. The book of science on the human harm caused by microplastics is thin and still new. There is lots of science on specific plastic chemicals and their estrogenic effects - phthalates is the largest category although there are several - but the classification of "microplastics" is orthogonal to the type of plastic involved

Can't have a stable diffusion moment if you refuse to release the weights to the general public. Stable diffusion only got to where it is because 10,000 people with otherwise zero reputation were able to play around with the code and models.

Sounds like it’s not really consultants, but rather the fact that there is no in house planning team that can actually plan things, or provide direction and guidance for the consultants to use.
Rust also hates hidden allocations, and its iterator system can do all of this without them

Although- thinking about it, that may rely on the borrow checker (move semantics specifically)

Yes! The website of the president of Mongolia has three versions, including one with the traditional top-to-bottom script. It's quite well-designed!

Those white lines are rivers that exist only during the rainy season and/or snow melts. There's like a 1-2 mile gap between them north of Chaco Canyon. Otherwise, there's water all the way up into the mountains.

And if there's not rivers, how exactly are you making a 70 mile trek across the desert carrying heavy logs? Anyone doing that would need lots of water and would likely try to follow rivers anyways.

$700 topish tier CPUs are nothing new. The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition had a $1000 MSRP for instance. Even in 2004 you could get an entire laptop for the money, even an Apple laptop with the base model iBook G4 selling for $1000. There is still good CPUs in the $100-$300 range.

GPU prices have gone insane though with mid-range having somehow moved up to $400-$500 where high-end was a decade ago.
No.

There is an isomorphism between them, but they aren’t equivalent since for one you will have to match on the `Option` first in order to see whether it is `None` or `Some(Next)` and then inspect `Next` (if `Some(…)`).

Same reason that `Nothing | Pointer` is not equivalent to `Option<Pointer>`. And it makes a huge practical difference, since the first type allows for “nothing-pointer dereference” while the second one does not.
Here's an example where everyone involved seems to be employing woke thinking, from opposite political angles:

Not arguing about facts and opinions, just about who was more "harmed" by the other parties speech. Not that the arguments presented are dumb and ridiculous, or even ridiculing a person for holding those views. But an attempt to litigate harms based on their individual identities.

There's certainly a finite set of combinations but in order for you to create a segmented display that isn't just a dot matrix, you need to have few enough variations that it can 1) actually encode all of the characters and their context-specific variations, 2) have segments that at least somewhat resemble the characters they are supposed to represent and 3) if they are overlapping must be able to to render all of the components of every letter distinctly. So If you have a line that you also want to be two or three dots and a hamza or some other diacritic, you need to break each segment down to the lowest common denominators.

A 7-segment display works by turning on and off each of the segments in order to render a glyph that is supposed to represent English alphanumeric characters. It mostly accomplishes this, though just barely and honestly a lot of characters do not render well at all (like the lowercase "i"). How would you shape the segments in such a way that could accomplish at least that level of clarity in Arabic?

I personally think that what you'd end up with would very closely resemble a dot matrix.
Duckduckgo has pretty much become one of the mainstream search engines. Normal, everyday users who find google's surveillance offputting because of its comprehensive nature probably think they are comparatively more private with something like duckduckgo. They will probably not react as strongly as power users or more privacy oriented folk. So, i doubt the points of view on hacker news is very damaging to duckduckgo.
The natural (and probably correct) assumption is that physically demanding work causes higher fertility. While "having lots of children leads to physically demanding work" is super unlikely, it's worth considering whether there's some third factor that leads to both high fertility and a preference for physically demanding work.
"My imaginary friend is better than yours"
YC Founder Looking for New Home
When I announced that I was shutting down my company, 70 Million Jobs/Commissary Club, I received enormous support from the Hacker News & YC communities. (The pandemic decimated my business helping the formally incarcerated land jobs and find community.) It was just what I needed at the time.

Since then, I’ve worked as a consultant to several nonprofits. But I very much miss being on the team of one special company.

What do I bring to the table? I think it’s fair to say that my profile is unusual for a tech person, much less a YC founder. My technology chops are woefully limited. I’m certainly one of the oldest founders to go through YC. And I have a criminal record. (I built a huge financial services firm years ago, got greedy and lost everything, including my freedom, circa 1995.)

What, then do I bring to the table?
• A very mature, strategic mind.
• A track record of success.
• Great at sales of all kinds.
• Great at partnerships/bizdev
• Very good at marketing.
• Passion for social impact.
• Great at recruiting and evangelizing.
• Good at fund-raising.
• Unrelenting loyalty and dedication.
• I approach every opportunity as if I am the founder.

If you’re building something magical, I can help make it come alive.

> Famously just json deserialization can be rather painful in statically typed languages, especially ones without complex compile time features.

That's funny, because last time I had to write json-related code in Python, I really missed Rust's serde, which makes deserialization + validation much easier to write in Rust than in Python.

YMMV, of course.
