> All of this is dependent on highways and new roads, new electrical, water, and sewage infrastructure.

If you're 20 miles outside a town, you almost certainly have electrical service, but are on a well and septic system. City water and sewer doesn't make sense at those sort of densities. You also probably have the land to easily put a nice ground mount PV array in, and grow a good bit of your own food, should you care to.
Games for Nintendo consoles aren’t overpriced relative to games from past generations, but are expensive relative to PC games today. Sales promotions on PC platforms like Steam and GOG are more frequent and provide deeper discounts than Nintendo’s. And while AAA Nintendo games are roughly the same price as AAA games on Steam, old Nintendo AAA games retain much higher prices than old AAA games on Steam. (Example: Mario Kart 8 is nine years old and still sells for $60 not including DLC.)

A lot of the major Nintendo games are on sale this week (probably because of March 10 = MAR10), but even the oldest first‐party titles are only down to about $40 at the lowest.
It's okay to say that you didn't understand the article, you know.

When I bake bread I use a pinch of sugar for an entire loaf. The yeast are just fine eating the flour. Thinking of a packet of sugar PER SLICE is insane to me. Especially for whole grain
Yeah. Although it was good that I quit when I did, my time with world of Warcraft when I was 9 leveled up my typing and communication skills so fast. Since I'm particularly prone to min/maxing I also got some good experience with math and unintuitive systems and how to guage what was better. (Percent increase vs flat increase, hit speed vs hit damage, etc.)
Thinking of every inbound package as "extending the amount of border" is mission creep nonsense IMO - it's propaganda mostly for the benefit of legislators holding the purse strings.

Regardless, it doesn't justify the extensive CBP expansion outside of mailrooms.
16bits had to be aligned. It didn't have an A0 because of the 16bit pathway, but it did have byte select lines (#UDS, #LDS) for when you'd move.b d0,ADDR so that devices external to the CPU could see an 8-bit data access if that's what you were doing.
What if instead of batteries you hooked up a boiler to heat water or a deep chest freezer to cool water and then used heat exchangers to heat or cool overnight when solar doesn't work? I'm assuming no one does this because batteries are likely cheaper than this type of setup.

Really cool! FYI, the labels in the x-axis for the first two charts overlap with each other for me. https://pasteboard.co/4ts0uaUQopxJ.png
Whatever the number theory equivalent of keyboard mashing is. I just checked a few typical functions and that one seemed interesting. Ramanujan wrote his thesis (equivalent) on highly composite numbers and studied things like the "divisor functions" related to summing (powers of) a number's divisors. I'd almost be ready to say he wouldn't have had anything to say about Lacker's Number, but then he was responsible for quite a few results which he had no reasonable way of knowing, given the knowledge available.
Yes, an American friend of mine just started to claim its SS pension and it seemed reasonable compared to what we would get, but that's just one data point. And the US is a much richer country with higher wages, so that plays a role.

I think, for most French, the retirement model was that we should own a house/apt by the time we retire, and then our pension would be enough to cover our expenses. It seems we're transitioning to a system more akin to the US and it's causing some friction as we're not prepared.

Another interesting point to me is that the retirement age is causing protests, but we were essentially screwed when they increased the number of worked years from 36 to 43 - which arguably was a necessary reform. Someone who started to work at 23 (college graduate - HN demographics) won't retire before 66. At that point, my concern isn't so much about working until 66, but having a job at that age. Working in tech, I don't see many people over 50 around me.

The FDA model is broken. It is pretty much a Nazi model where private industry is protected from competition and also dictated to by heavy handed government pencil pushers. Good things wont come out of it.

The claims like "foreign drugs might be dangerous" is simply dumbing down of reality of world and false. While your average joe wont know if the insulin he got from Tijuana is good or not, denying him the insulin entirely is even bigger threat to Joe's life. Not just that but now you have insulin smugglers who are even bigger threat as they are totally off the legal scrutiny.

But American Diabetic Association can do a better job of importing insulin from world over at cheaper prices and distributing it to their members while ensuring reasonable quality. Unlike FDA, ADA can actually work with insurance companies to compensate the victims if things go wrong.

Just a small clarification, you're talking about a different Shah - Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the guy who was in full control after the 1953 coup, took initial power in 1941 with foreign help (to help out with WW2 due to the strategic location of Iran for oil and supplies to the USSR) from his father, Reza Shah, who took power in 1925 from Ahmad Shah Qajar, who would have been the Shah your grandfather has pictures with.

Good question. Our goal is not just to run arbitrary code but to run it fast and cache rework. We are a CI service and speed is important. Brandon may be able to jump in with why not various options but it's hard to beat giving users powerful cloud machines to run their builds on.

I myself did try to run buildkit in a Lambda as I think that would be low cost option. But I found it you couldn't make gRPC calls against a lambda and that is a hard requirement for us.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm working on adding an option to normalize everything by some measure of activity around each data point.

Digital Markers Near-Perfect for Predicting Dementia
It’s not a new technology, but it’s a technology built so infrequently that none of the benefits of being an old technology have been able to develop. We don’t have people experienced in creating the plants, we don't have standard templates to base designs off of, and we don’t have economies of scale.

Mind, we’re not going to get any of those things in the world we live in due to combination of over-regulation and NIMBYism making it impossible to even start a nuclear power project in an efficient manner. So it’s kind of a moot point. But we most certainly don’t have a century of seeing what it would be like if we actually tried to make nuclear power work. We have a century of seeing what happens when we cripple nuclear power due to people’s lack of trust in it.
As a kid I used to change the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message. From memory it was just an image file so you could put all sorts of funny messages there.
My biggest peeve is types on the right. I would say that C is "humanistic" in its type declarations, while Rust and the rest of Pascal's lineage are "mechanistic". Concretely, look at this:

int foo(int a, float b);

vs

fn foo(a: i32, b: f32) -> i32;

In Rust's case you're specifying to the machine what the thing is, i.e. "I am declaring a function called foo. The function has a first parameter called a, of type i32, ... The function returns an int". Whereas in C you have a "declaration follows usage" idiom, such that what you're saying is "typing foo(a, b) produces an int on the left side, within foo a produces an int lvalue, ...". The function arguments flow from right to left and the result emerges on the left with the given type. The order of tokens in declaring foo matches the order of tokens when calling foo. It also matches the order of importance - first is the return type, then the function name, then each parameter type followed (optionally) by the parameter name.

Or look at an array declaration:

int arr[5];

"You get an int when you type arr[N] where N is less than 5".

This kind of argument of course goes all the way back to AT&T vs Intel assembly syntax and I am firmly on Intel's side.
I think that's probably because this has been discussed heavily for the years that people have been aware that it's happening. At some point, there's little more to say.

Put your money in an index fund. The S&P 500 from 1958 to 2008 went up 90x. The worst case scenario - All your savings are in stocks and you retire during the second worst financial crisis ever. And your returns are 90x. Not 90%, 9000%.

The idea that "most won't extract profit" is nonsense. In the long term, its free money for everyone.

Good catch. I knew right away that it wasn't an exact likeness of the Atari game but didn't know what it drew from. Boulder Dash has really gotten around in terms of clones and remakes(even official releases have been relatively frequent over the years, if not widely acknowledged). And all of them play slightly differently from each other, sort of like different versions of patience solitaire.

Yes, that’s about right. But really do read the followup blog post (https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2020/11/01/names-are-not-...), as it explains that in much more depth! In particular, it says:

> To some readers, these pitfalls may seem obvious, but safety holes of this sort are remarkably common in practice. This is especially true for datatypes with more sophisticated invariants, as it may not be easy to determine whether the invariants are actually upheld by the module’s implementation. Proper use of this technique demands caution and care:

> * All invariants must be made clear to maintainers of the trusted module. For simple types, such as NonEmpty, the invariant is self-evident, but for more sophisticated types, comments are not optional.

> * Every change to the trusted module must be carefully audited to ensure it does not somehow weaken the desired invariants.

> * Discipline is needed to resist the temptation to add unsafe trapdoors that allow compromising the invariants if used incorrectly.

> * Periodic refactoring may be needed to ensure the trusted surface area remains small. It is all too easy for the responsibility of the trusted module to accumulate over time, dramatically increasing the likelihood of some subtle interaction causing an invariant violation.

> In contrast, datatypes that are correct by construction suffer none of these problems. The invariant cannot be violated without changing the datatype definition itself, which has rippling effects throughout the rest of the program to make the consequences immediately clear. Discipline on the part of the programmer is unnecessary, as the typechecker enforces the invariants automatically. There is no “trusted code” for such datatypes, since all parts of the program are equally beholden to the datatype-mandated constraints.

They are both quite useful techniques, but it’s important to understand what you’re getting (and, perhaps more importantly, what you’re not).

Category Theory (just as all mathematical models for programming or subsets thereof) are building blocks for reasoning on what we build. Past applications of such mathematical models include:

- programming languages with semantics that are better adapted to specific problems (e.g. Rust's ownership);

- better compilers (see e.g. Haskell's supercompiler, which puts to shame `constexpr`-style features);

- better static analyzers (e.g. better type systems, abstract interpretation, model checkers).

In the case of Machine Learning, it might some day help us create Machine Learning that we can understand and trust better. Or it might fail. Or it might help us invent something different entirely, in 30 years.
Tallow is absolutely not better for you than frying in oils. Tallow also has trans fats. Margarine is lower in saturated fats than butter with none of the cholesterol. None are good for you versus a liquid oil like canola.

Eating more fruits and vegetables is always going to be better for you all other things being equal. I still eat fried foods as a vegetarian but my cholesterol is way down. When I donate plasma there isn't gunk in the filter like everyone else.

Dunno why people think eating meat and butter every day is possibly sustainable at a health or ecological level. Our ancestors were lucky to get bone marrow. That's the baseline. We still have those same bodies and brains. We've just changed the environment completely and are seeing the consequence (less acute mortality, higher chronic mortality)

Philadelphia's pension "scheme" is crazy and borderline criminal how its implemented. Pay days on retirement date based on salary in the past several years, absolutely rampant overtime fraud, cronyism abound everywhere. There are plenty of stories of people retiring milking tens of thousands of dollars from fraudulent overtime, getting a one time payment on retirement in the hundreds of thousands, and then getting a pension higher than their real salary.

I support pensions, but this has to be done at the federal level, and funded heavily through taxes and pro-natalist policies to keep demographics correct. Cities, states, counties and companies are not able to adequately fund defined benefit pensions.

Console games really benefited from economy of scale. The Legend of Zelda had an MSRP in 1986 of $50. That is $136 in 2022 money. You can preorder The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $70, or roughly half the price.

Imagine how many more hours of labor goes into a modern game compared to a 1986 game. The 1986 game has nine people in the credits. Three people with the role "programmer". Two things kept prices in line. Reduced hardware costs, as the older carts are much more expensive. Increased sales, where more people buy the same software.

Rather than a natural language code review, having a machine learning model that can spot code that "looks wrong" might be really valuable, especially if it was able to get a "good enough" SNR. Static checkers today can be limited in their applicability. But if you trained a model on { block of code } => "defect class <X>" it could be really powerful. Perhaps seeing examples of applied fixes might be a good way to convince someone whether or not there was really a bug there.

Maybe it could even collaborate with static checkers as a quick screen -- seeing as how some of static checkers today are a compromise between the execution time of the checker and the comprehensiveness of the check.
