Isn't this one of the necessary bridges to Meta's vision? The first steps are to kill authenticity and any aspect of defect - from there it is a gentle fall into the cosseted, synthetic alterplace of your choosing. It's all so strange and I feel lucky to generationally have escaped its pull.
I got mugged just a short walk away from a tube station in London (after having lived here for 4 years already, pretty good track record ruined by my propensity for enjoying night walks early in the morning; won't be doing that again).

But the police didn't have any footage of the event. Not even a business had a camera pointed in the right direction.
I think this is a great write up of the difference of two types of code, and I think it could apply to JS and TS.
If you find it difficult to manage a software engineer because they want to go home and sleep in their own bed at night then you're an absolutely failed manager. I'm sorry.
I think there are a couple of different things at play with espresso beans in regard to aging.

Flavor compounds: my understanding is that flavor compounds continue to develop post roast, with the consensus suggesting that 5–10 days post roast rest is required to develop peak flavor.

Outgassing: beans continue to outgas after roasting, and a tightly sealed bag wouldn't prevent it. However, once most CO2 has been lost, it doesn't necessarily imply that the beans are stale. Espresso techniques are designed around the back pressure from outgassing, and 'flat' grinds would pose a problem. I'm sure it can be addressed, though - by reducing flow rate, for example.

Stale: The real issue with aging is the oxidation of coffee oils, and that's where proper storage is required.
There's still usually only one way to do things in python, there's just the option to annotate it. Annotations are clearly deliniated in th code, and if you don't understand them you can safely ignore them.

The author's take that annotated code and unannotated code are different languages is a bit silly. It's like saying code with comments is a different language than code without. While it's true that different camps favor annotations differently, but the same is true for code documentation, and we don't treat it like different languages, even if the comments are in a language you don't speak.
Probably a good signal for potential O(n^2) when reading the code.

EDIT: Nope. I was wrong. This is not a list comprehension.

Oh, cool. I guess I should stop

I'm severely allergic to dust mites as well. I get weekly allergy shots and while they've had a great effect on itchy eyes, runny nose, extreme stuffiness, and other seasonal allergy symptoms... my nose is still congested almost all the time.

I got a dust mite-proof cover for my mattress, tried vacuuming + cleaning more. No improvement.

I got two different nasal procedures to open my airways. First a turbinate reduction - no benefit. Later "vivair" or something... it was non-surgical, basically "radio" treatment or something. I don't think it makes sense that it was radio waves that burned my flesh since, y'know, that's not how radio waves work. Maybe microwaves or something, but the nurses and doctor couldn't explain it. As you can see, I was desperate enough to try it. Anyway - it didn't help. My nose is still clogged almost all the time. YMMV
5th Risk by Michael Lewis has a very good discussion of that trope. In brief, some politicians complain that government isn't run like a private business, and then write rules that forbid those agencies from providing services to citizens (weather, tax filing, post office services, read the book for other examples)
He suggests osteopathy, but there's criticism to the methods. I guess, if we exclude osteopathy, it would be mild massage, and excercise to move and rotate the neck.
My parents are (well, were, then they got too old) dumpster divers. They live in a university town and at the end of the year the students all throw away lots of stuff. Some of it's a good haul- just pick up a box of jars of olives- and other times it's crap. My parents often try to keep the perishable stuff which often is clearly past its prime, and I have to go through and organize what is close to a hoarder's paradise in the basement on a regular basis.

I have mixed feelings- obviously they're identifying stuff that would just be waste, but it frequently ends up just sitting around forever because who needs a case of olive oil when you're 75? There is also an entire closet which is filled with hydroflasks. Often the whole area smells like beer, because they collect lots of cans (I used to give them a hard time about this but they were making a few thousand dollars a year...)
In my experience you can tune the i9-13900K way down on power and barely notice or not at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if these benchmarks came out the same way on the Intel side with power caps set at 125W.
"But also: OLED TVs don't have much persistent HUD/chromes compared to a PC taskbar, an FPS counter/overlay at the top corner, etc."

This is a good point too. The UI does hide itself and persistent elements (screen saver like) migrate/bounce around the screen.

Burn was a huge concern when these TVs were released. I assumed the threat was significantly less (across the class of screen) than originally thought.
Could you elaborate? What's a safety-checked UB?
Plastic wrap is also far easier than finding the correct matching lid, in my experience.
I was actually wondering what the original Extreme Edition P4s retailed for a couple of decades ago, and it turns out to be $999. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
> it actually takes caffeine 4X the time

I have C/C like you and feel effects of caffeine at night from 6 am coffee like you.

I am really curious about 4x and 2x risk. I didn't seem to find that info in the link you posted.
Does this explain falling testosterone levels worldwide, as men become increasingly sedentary - desk jobs, video games for entertainment, etc?
I vaguely remember that the iGPUs in the 7000 series had some trouble with Linux support. May be wrong, but do look into that. Might need a bleeding-edge kernel and mesa.
The Camera-Shy Hoodie
The javascript back end handles mutually recursive tail calls. It finds connected components and rewrites them to use a trampoline-like thing. There is a nice explanation of how it works at the top of the file:

https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/blob/main/src/Compiler/...

One could argue that it's not "full" TCO, but it does cover a lot of use-cases. That rewrites to NamedCExp, so it could be reused by other backends.

The Java backend seems to be doing its own thing. There aren't a lot of comments or documentation in that repository, but I do see evidence that it's doing something interesting in src/Compiler/Jvm/Optimizer.idr:

Pure $ if shouldTrampoline && hasNonSelfTailCall tailCallCategory
then trampolineExpression True inlinedAndTailRecursionMarkedExpr
else inlinedAndTailRecursionMarkedExpr

Many years ago, I witnessed a local university professor stop his brand new Cadillac next to a dumpster, get out and start foraging through it. I went up and asked if he lost something, his reply: Nope, just shopping. I find all sorts of things in these downtown dumpsters.
If the government is a monopsony for a good like “subways” or “highways”. It’s advisable to have an in-house alternative to the commercial sector. Commercial firms are obligated by incentive to increase profits over time - whereas in-house teams are obligated to increase organizational size/pay over time.

Competition between the two should lead to an equilibrium between organizational bloat and profit taking.
Interesting, I wonder if this correlates to falling birthrates in Advanced Economies ?

And maybe how this worked in the old days when many kings blamed their wives with issues in producing children.
This is why any criticism of AWS > reliability is meaningless to me.

Er, we absolutely can and should compare rates of problems and overall reliability.
It rings true though doesn’t it? At least in my professional experience, I primarily have run into the “fun” technical problems that require theoretical knowledge when working on infrastructure. It makes sense, because lower on the stack means higher leverage and fewer abstractions from the hardware.
Here's a guide to styling such text: https://www.w3.org/International/articles/vertical-text/

Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese originally, but computers have made horizontal writing more common on the internet. Modern Vietnamese is also written in a variation of the Latin script, of course.

Mongolian still uses the vertical Mongolian script, though Cyrillic script m has also been introduced in Mongolia during Soviet times and seems to be common inside Mongolia. However, the Mongolian government seems to be moving back to using the original Mongolian script. Furthermore, the Mongolian people inside China never took up the Cyrillic writing system.

Websites can and do use the vertical script: https://president.mn/mng/ http://khumuunbichig.montsame.mn/index.php?home&readnews=572

Google uses the Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet (https://www.google.com/?hl=mn) so even companies that seem to have a page in every single language don't seem to bother with supporting the original script. This is probably because the Mongolian speakers inside China can't make much use of Google anyway.

Funnily enough, Mongolian is one of the few known scripts not only written vertically but also left to right, unlike other Asian vertical scripts (which go right to left).
"Trans teenagers that want to transition are going to need puberty blockers"

From a medical perspective and from a psychological perspective I am not sure puberty blockers are a good option for teens.

Again I would argue most teens do not have a full identity even formulated and may experiment with different gender, identity and or sexual roles.

Is it in a patients best interest to "block" puberty?
Particularly, in person meeting is biased by lots of subtle filters (some of which correlate with compatibility) that matching on a dating app, especially with profiles on either side consciously designed to maximize matches, lacks.
This and all the other similar responses are awesome. Valve clearly learnt a lot - Steam Controller had no support in the actual store (no 'made for steam controller' program) and half the time you'd be staring at 'press z' holding a controller in your hand trying to remember that x was z right now.

Kinda nice to have, D can do it aswell:

import std;

void main()
{
int[] a = [1, 2, 3];
string[] b = ["a", "b", "c"];

foreach (e1, e2; zip(a, b))
{
writeln(e1, ":", e2);
}
}

1:a
2:b
3:c
>But at the same time if you can make it happen it has a huge impact on your net worth/retirement/kids college ect.

Well the joke was always you had to have an all cash bid 20% over asking in the Bay before the run up anway so you already had to have a pretty massive net worth to buy in the first place.

>I don't know where houses are 400k these days though.

Basically anywhere outside the Coasts in the US?
You might find it ethical to not use a superior product to try and force the world to be more like the one described by the efficient market hypothesis, but I definitely don't believe this is on the to-do list of people who get stuff done and get promoted to make impactful changes in their organization.
I would be interested in knowing:

- What is the magnitude of the change in testosterone? Are we talking 5-10% or more like 60-90%?

- How long does it take to happen? Are we talking 2 weeks or 6 months?

- How quickly do testosterone levels decline to baseline levels after someone stops performing physically demanding work?
On the other hand, US didn't get contactless payments until much later than everyone else and as far as I know still does that thing where a credit card is pressed against some paper to capture the number; I haven't even _seen_ this done in person (I've never been to the US).
For the most part it just works, especially if the game can autodetect your hardware and adjust graphics accordingly. But of course you can always tinker with settings in game and out to get more optimized performance. Also, you might have to mess with Steam Input to translate the Deck's controls to what the game expects, and although the built-in community sharing system makes that usually pretty easy I still have to pause and reference my controls every once in a while. It's not quite console-levels of plug-and-play due to the flexibility of games in the PC market, but it's about the closest you can get
Yeah I got mine remapped to esc

It's just a different modality mine just exists a little closer to where my fingertips chill on the home row
> We already know that exercise is associated with multiple health benefits in humans, including those observed on reproductive health, but few studies have looked at how occupational factors can contribute to these benefits

It seems like a fairly predictable confirmation. It wasn't a given though, exercise tends to improve long-term wellbeing, while lots of people with physically demanding jobs are pretty much destroyed by them.
I don't know about the rest, but regarding the last question:

T3chFest printed the materials because the event is this weekend, so everything had to be ready. Seems like Couchbase bailed today.

This is not limited to type annotations. The same typically applies to comments, documentation, tests, etc. It's just one of the many code quality tools available to you (at a slight cost) , and one typically applies those tools where they have the most benefit: code that is often reused or reread.
Lots of "well this is obvious" comments here, but this finding strikes me as a new (haven't seen before) key driver of the global testosterone crisis to which no one has been able to tie a specific cause
>>You could get a whole portable PC for same money.

Not with the same performance you cant...

Not even close

>>The inflation has really hit the consumer market... 700$ for CPU and over thousand for GPU...

$700 for the Top of the line CPU is actually low, at the highest of intel monopoly period they were charging well in excess of $1000 (closer to $1700 if I remember) for their I7 K line enthusiast PC's.. Even today $700 is cheap compared to the Threadripper line AMD seems to have given up on.
There's been a lot of reporting on how testosterone and sperm count levels are decreasing without a clear explanation on why and lots of hypothesis so finding clear links between sedentary jobs and fertility is interesting.
This study shows that occupational lifting (moving heavy things as part of a job) increases testosterone and sperm counts, while previous studies were looking at lifting weights in a gym.

Yes, the earlier studies would certainly imply the later results were most likely true, but that's how science works. And this in turn lends higher credence to those earlier studies.
Birth rates are falling all over the world. People aren't childless despite trying. They're just not trying, for the most part.

> employ a security policy of reporting any security concerns via email

You don't have a security.txt, https://infisical.com/docs/security/overview doesn't mention it and it's not on your FAQ, so I don't blame ianpurton for not finding it. You have a 'Report a vulnerability' issue template on GitHub (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical/security/advisories/n...) but then your readme points to a security policy which says to email: https://github.com/Infisical/infisical/security/policy
I prefer to phase it in two ways:

- before implementation, it’s a “milestone project management decided to ignore.”

- after implementation, it’s a “project management decision to implement in the next phase.”
Yes, this is too obvious, what we really need is confirmation that fit people are morally superior as well.
Why do you say so? It's equivalent to iterating indexes from 0 to N-1 of two (or more) lists with N elements and providing syntax sugar for those lists' elements at that index. This is O(N).
Maybe there are too many (C++)++ languages?
So its too hard to pick a winner.
Graham here, CEO of DetSys. I'd be happy to answer any questions I can about the new installer and what we're up to!
Yeah in a lot of ways the things that make plastics bad for the environment makes them good for electrical insulation. Primarily how they don't break down very easily, aren't particularly chemically reactive, don't rot, etc.
It'd be quite nice if HN automatically flagged that to submitters. "Please rewrite this title to describe the article, as it is currently a question and the answer is no".
We're looking for vertical to horizontal switching. Not just examples of vertical writing.

Almost all extant vertically-written languages are more commonly seen horizontally on the web. Vertical Japanese on the web (from my American understanding) is a design choice, and is notably absent from mainstays like https://www.yahoo.co.jp/

That is to say, it is unlikely that a site's language switcher would opt for top-to-bottom writing.

Edit: the Mongolian president's site does have an English version! ...but it's a completely different site :( https://president.mn/en/. Still, this is the closest to a use case for logical properties I've seen, so kudos.

I wonder how much "physically demanding work" is just a surrogate for "not sitting". The article only mentions sitting once (and the press release, not at all)

> Men also reported the level of physical exertion in their current job using the following categories: light (e.g. most time spent sitting, office work)...
https://academic.oup.com/humrep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/...

Sitting inherently causes the nerves and blood vessels in the groin to be impinged, so it would not be surprising if that was enough to lower the production of sperm, testosterone, etc.

It would be nice if they could control for sitting, so we could know if lifting heavy objects is causing the increase in sperm count, like the press release suggests.
If you want to play Nintendo 1st party, you have no choice but Switch. But if you want to play any of the many AAA games that release every year, you can do that on Deck.

If we ignore that each is exclusive to the other's platform (i.e. Switch 1st party don't go to Deck, many huge games Deck can play Switch never gets), and just compare the average cost with sales of those "exclusive" games, you high quality games on Switch (Nintendo 1st party) cost way more than you high quality games on Deck (most AAA games Switch doesn't get).

This article is a joke, it claims that expansion of normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia is threatened by strikes against Iran by Israel. But the basis of the Israel-Saudi agreement is anti-Iranian. The Saudis would love Israel for attacking Iran more aggressively, effectively doing their dirty work.

> My heuristic when evaluating potential jobs is only to consider positions where the output of statistical analysis and machine learning models has a clear and immediate impact within the organization, while avoiding adtech for ethical reasons and because of concerns toxic work could enable a toxic environment.

Currently starting to look for a new role and couldn’t have articulated my goal more clearly. The problem is that this narrows the field considerably, to finance/insurance/fraud (“pure money work”), healthcare/EMR (which as far as I can tell is also actually just profit optimization work for hospitals), and then you have manufacturing (closer to where I currently am), but the actual applications of data science are more limited and data Eng / analytics are more valuable, bioinformatics (which is really interesting, but also a large learning curve), and then just traditional BI (kind of generic and boring).

Also, if you’re thinking about long term career development, many of these functions fall under the IT/CIO umbrella as orgs grow, which means that career advancement would require learning cloud architecture, cybersecurity, IAM, networking, etc. which I’m not saying is a bad thing, just an observation. Just applying statistics and modeling can only rise so high in an org, unless like you said, their core business and value prop is being the best at modeling some phenomena.
Great job team!!
IMO this is a different problem. If you’re building something without fully understanding it, you’re not really making a choice about the tradeoffs. And this can happen no matter how “right” you try to build it. I’ve seen plenty of projects go off the rails because the team tried to encapsulate everything perfectly and ended up with bad abstractions that made future development a chore.

The best “quick” vs. “right” decisions I’ve made (and this is not a binary) have involved 1) complete plans for both implementations, 2) a plan to migrate from “quick” to “right” and sometimes 3) a plan to remove the “quick” implementation if the feature turns out to be unneeded. It involves more upfront planning work, not less. 3 is particularly useful because it forces you to come up with the loosest possible coupling between the new feature and the existing system.
They had many many global outages through the years so that’s evidently not true. GCLB, iam, gcs and probably more Im missing just of the top of my head. Then there’s constant stream of regional networking borks where your latency is suddenly 5x which are not “global” but affect multiple regions
This friend of mine studied 8 years at univeristy, and still 15 years into career digs into medical literature and atlases, so he's very rigorous, and having scientific background myself, I can distinguish those who tell myths and fairy tales, like "just breathe fresh air".

In my case, he just told me this story in a conversation, without me asking, and then I noticed his explanation was the most convincing: the days I have pain in the neck, coincide with waking up with stuffy nose and a feeling of "inflated" head. So this sort of fits even Popper criterium (make a verifiable prediction).
Thanks for sharing. Are you still taking any meds for nasal issues on a daily basis?
When they manually forced it onto the CCD with 3D-Vcache, they saw a 100% speedup:

"As we can see in our Factorio benchmark, we saw massive gains of over 100% when forcing the Ryzen 9 7950X3D to use the CCD with the 3D V-Cache as opposed to letting AMD's PPM Provisioning and 3D V-Cache Optimizer drivers do their thing automatically."
That is a definite step in the right direction. Non-removable batteries and removal of physical jacks worsened planned obsolescence considerably. Now they just need physical switches for wifi, bluetooth, cell service, camera, mic, and gps. I might actually own a cellphone again, if they do. I've been cell free for almost 3 years now.
I think you're talking about two different things.

I think the other post may be talking about people who burn their trash at home, instead of at an industrial scale? It seems like a neighborhood of people burning their batteries and plastics would not be great, compared to an industrial incinerator.

Or maybe I'm way off base.
