Its not just about bitrate, as avif has some issues:

- slow power hungry encoding

- slow decoding (though this has gotten better very quickly)

- terrible lossless performance

- no lossless path from jpeg like jxl.

- no support for "exotic" formats like > 12 bpc or many extra channels.

Saying avif should be the only format is like saying everyone should depreciate png and just use jpeg. It doesn't cover all use cases, though frankly I am getting sick of slow pngs.
Absolutely correct, though Google is headquartered in California which does have such a law.

> People entering the US illegally are often here in order to provide for their families in other parts of the world, where even high paying careers can't compete with the dollar.

That's not representative of the whole.

Plenty of articles have been written about the "unaccompanied minors" illegally entering the US; sometimes they are joining parents who already entered the US illegally, sometimes they're joining other family (here legally or not), sometimes they are the first member of their family and are staying with friends or by themselves.

Post Sept 11th, the percentage of illegal aliens who were in families increased; it was an unintended side effect that restricting border crossings meant that the prior model, where men would travel back and forth frequently to support their family elsewhere, was no longer viable, so the entire family entered the US illegally.
Category Theory will not make you more efficient in FP languages like Haskell. I studied it enough to realise that it doesn’t give me any insights or thinking tools I can actually use to write better software. However I highly recommend reading “Software Foundations”. It is almost guaranteed to make you better at writing software in any language. Including Haskell. That’s what happened to me.
You trotted out the most tired New Yorker meme of all time. "Chicago pizza isn't real pizza, it's pie". Despite the fact that the headline of TFA is clearly about thin crust pizza. How lazy can you be? You absolutely offered an uninformed opinion in the form of a wall of text like you often do on this website. Your attempt to pretend you didn't is pathetic.

The general reputation of New Yorkers in every corner of this country is highly negative. It's well deserved and you're exemplary.

While there are many international institutions in NYC, the citizens are by and large provincial navel-gazers.

You unironically think that NYC invented slicing pizza, and you referred to it as "innovation". We're having a good belly laugh about this one at the bar.
the first kids that grew up with computers in the uk (about 1979) learned that running into a wh smith or similar store, where primitive computers (spectrum, vic) were on sale and ran demoing, and then doing reprehensible stuff like this:

10 print "fuck you"

20 goto 10

and then running out.

some may be running major companies now.
In high school maybe. All my stem classes in college were graded on a curve. First exam freshman year was physics. I walked out thinking I failed. There were questions I did not answer. Later that night they posted raw scores. Mine was 48 pts out of 100.

I was ready to withdraw and reconsider engineering as a major.

Later still they posted the cut offs. 40 was the cutoff for an A. Avg was 36 and the cutoff for a B. My 48 was the 4th highest score.

I would have preferred the British system
Yes, I certainly could. This comment chain started with "why is stale a bad thing". It's bad because I have to do that.

There might be a maintained fork/separate project that does what I want that I would like to find instead. Or maybe I was just searching to save myself 30 minutes on a one time task and I'm not up for adopting an abandoned project.
Agree. If you care about abstract mathematics that is useful for developing practical software then don’t waste your time with CT.

FWIW, I literally used to type in programs from magazines (starting in 1984), and spent many hours poring over a bootleg commented disassembly of Microsoft's BASIC implementation for the RadioShack/Tandy Color Computer II.
Yeah, the most surprising thing about Go's slice expressions is that you can reslice a slice beyond its length, as long as it's still within its capacity.

I wonder how many off-by-one bugs have happened undetected because a slice is unintentionally resliced beyond its length. Instead of crashing, so that the issue is known early, the program will still run with inconsistent data.
Does the book itself have more prose than what's found on the webpages linked from the table of contents? Those webpages are very sparse on actual explanation; they are mostly code dumps. I would expect a book on a key-value store to be a lot more theory focused. You could write a whole book on hash tables alone, but the hash tables "chapter" is only a few paragraphs of actual explanation [1].

I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think the measures are completely unrelated. Would a per-capita adjustment drastically change the argument? Anyway, I think the point was to draw attention to just how large the pie really is before asking the principal question:

to me, it seems like a question worth asking.

Nope. Type Theory (like Matin Luff TT) describes Type Theory really well. And it is way more useful for software development than CT is. Tools like Coq, LEAN, Agda, Idris etc. are built on TT not CT.

> Everyone assumes these were full of like, bartenders chasing money (which there is nothing wrong with that either) but in my experience it wasn't true at all. It was mostly late 20s-early 30s professionals who were looking to change to another skilled career, mostly due to burnout, poor fit in the first one, or more autonomy.

Yeah I was surprised when I realized most of the bootcamp grads I met were elite school graduates in things like BioE or Industrial Engineering who wanted to transition to tech. They had worked in their fields and wanted a change so they had the money saved up to do a bootcamp. It was no surprise to me that they did well in tech as they were already from STEM programs in great schools anyway.

I've heard anecdotally (no real proof) that later cohorts started drawing more of the "bartender chasing money" types (again nothing wrong with them) which made the competition for the schools a lot harder.

Oh interesting, never heard of that before. So there's a standard TV Unit representing a standard TV, with standardized dimensions from the dawn of the TV, like a horsepower. (Horses generate anywhere between .5 and 1.5 HP, depending on the horse.) How does this TVU account for the flatness of modern TVs compared to the days of yore. It's not like the depth of the device impacts everyday enjoyment, just goes.to how cumbersome it is when moving.

This is not the case when the exif stripping is happening at the service side (By online platforms, in my original comment). Yes, anything happening before save is useless because the trailing data is kept. But if a service (e.g., Facebook) then does exif stripping via re-serialization the trailing data is lost.
Kicking people out can be tricky depending on the structure and bylaws of a given place. I've seen different kinds and you'll always have a part of your members that wilm think it is too much and others not enough. In the end what caused 99.9% of the issues I saw in the hackerspaces I've been part of wasn't the people kicked out arbitrarly or too lightly, it was that abusing people were allowed to stay for too long. The reasons were multiple. But in the end if you want to keep the culture alive you have to remove the elements that work against that culture. Or start/find a new place if the whole culture shifts with the majority of the members.

But it’s comparing the US economy to a bunch of smaller economies. You cant ignore population when it comes to “more value”.

Then it adds India, a poor country where the poor are much worse off than in the US.

Then it compares the size of the economies of that mish-mash of countries to relative poverty in the US.

So what exactly am i supposed to draw from this comparison?
To be honest it's not your "strong contention" but rather your ignorant or in denial contention, but I think you probably is the latter. In Arabic the word kafir is not translated to the infidel as made popular by the western media but literally means the "those who are in denial" or "those who cover up".

Why not you provide and share your proper references of your case for not overly crediting the Arab and muslim contributions so we can all can learn and move forward, or you can create a reference book and a thesis on that? But even if you can provide proper references, in which I strongly doubt, what's wrong for crediting the Arab and muslim scholars where credits are due. It seems to me you have strong enmity towards them that they have had more contributions to the knowledge than you can even dream of yourself in your lifetime.

A hot object will radiate heat as infrared. The hotter it is, the more heat it will radiate. So, a sufficiently large heatsink designed to exploit that, can cool even in a vacuum. (Theoretically, this could even be used for reactionless propulsion.)

Well, I assumed that you're knowledgeable enough to know why people immigrate illegally to the US, so I went with disingenuous. If you don't know then misinformed is the better term.

>That's not representative of the whole.

I wasn't claiming to represent the entire demographic, just providing a counter argument to your statement that people move to the US because it's better than being poor elsewhere. I could have also mentioned the people escaping violence.
If it's defined as only having access to an income below some percentage of the mean (or even median), it has some value, though it's certainly debatable how much.
I'd be more interested in measures that looked at what percentage of people remained in poverty for most of their lives. If poverty primarily only affects, say, people who have just moved to a wealthy country, but they're all able to climb out of that state, then it's reasonable to conclude there's no longer any significant poverty problem as such.

I think this illustrates the problem. You can't seem to recognize that failures of character are concrete failings.
In the embedded world you're always mindful of memory consumption. Static allocation of a fixed size array has advantages over the same data in a linked list by simple virtue of eliminating node pointers and bookkeeping overhead associated with dynamic objects. Regardless of concerns about algorithmic complexity. Sometimes you really do need to set fixed limits for the sake of economy.

Minicomputers of the 70s and PCs of the 80s had computing resources comparable to what passes for embedded systems today (i.e. much less capable that an RPi). Those machines required tradeoffs with arbitrary limits to make realizable software and that is still a valid approach for a subset of modern programming where you can't just pretend you have an infinite store that will never be exhausted and if you do hit a limit you can't just throw more hardware at the problem.
There is a ton of counterculture. You just need to stop looking for large and noisy groups that are taking most of the attention space. It is just that the hum of the crowd got louder. The signal is still there, it is just the noise that got stronger.
It isn't first time there has been long threads about Category Theory with so much controversy. How does a subject like this get people so worked up? Maybe it is just all cross functional subjects, where a lot of people know a little bit of some aspect and make some sweeping assumptions.

And if you do, it really hurts the resale value.

Isn’t the pretence important? If I talk to a bunch of people at the pub I’m likely to get various answers, increase the size of the pub and I’ll get to hear all kinds of different stuff and since it’s just people at a pub I can take it or leave it at my will. But when there’s perceived authority involved, a trusted newspaper, maybe a uni lecturer, that kind of thing, then it’s easy to be frustrated that you still have to treat them like people from a pub because they’ve spent considerable effort having me believe they’re better than that. Maybe it’s the difference in expectations between brainstorming and a final review, or a professional and an amateur.

Very little of this sounds definitively positive. Are more clicks better? Why? Are more searches better? Why? Is not opting out evidence people prefer it? Maybe they didn't know how to opt out or 'wanted to give it a chance'. Who's to say pageviews, edits, or account creation is good or bad?

The new theme could be better in every measurable way but still not be worth moving to because billions of users are already brain-trained on the old theme.

I don't currently take supplements, but spent a few days researching which supplements I should take, and got completely different answers from everyone I asked.

Tim Ferris's blog posts had one idea, some body hackers had others, reddit had other ideas. I wanted to improve my health but really felt like the information I was getting was conflicting. (if each source had given similar responses, I'd probably have taken the advice, but because it was was very inconsistent, I couldn't tell who was right and who was just trying to sell some sugar powder/syrup/tablet, so I stuck to wholesome foods instead).

I still would love to know what supplements are "no brainers" and should be taken to have a meaningful improvement on one's vitality, health, energy, and life.
I live in Taiwan and this is a constant presumption by other immigrants here - oh, the taiwanese aren't good at critical thinking, their schools just have them memorize everything, there's no imagination, they have no ability to self start or self direct.

There's some grains of truth to aspects of the culture resisting individualism (which isn't inherently negative I don't think, as distasteful as that may sound to Americans), but not only is this a mischaracterization, it's also missing the upsides of having a population that all has stashed in their heads a whole shitload of math and science that enables them in all sorts of interesting ways.

For example, on a construction team, any single member is capable of more geometric reasoning than the same team in the usa (in my limited experience working with construction in both countries), making for faster, more accurate, and cheaper builds. Or, when bringing a software engineer up to speed with a new framework or whatever, I find they retain mundane details remarkably quickly, probably by having a well honed memorization method. That's really nice for when you're trying to think of how to implement something and basically the entire library documentation is just at hand in the noggin.
I came to the comments first assuming there'd be p-hacking (a broad amount of parameters would be tested trying to find some that have "statistical significance", which is bogus and commonly referred as p-hacking). I am a bit tired of seeing very promising articles, becoming hopeful then just to read HN comments on why it's ridiculously flawed (I do get HN tends to be negative, but in scientific articles in a good way, I prefer no-results that fake positive hopes).

Very happy to see your comment and I def agree, if looking for specifically not-x and found x it also increases my trust in an article A LOT.

It’s beyond not a sensible API, it’s significantly harder to secure, inappropriately so…

On the licensing service side as they have to lock down a database server to allow safe A.C. access by arbitrary clients…

And requires end users to carve out firewall/network security rules to allow outbound connections to an arbitrary database server, which is a pretty significant data exfiltration vector and I’d be extremely concerned about enabling this even at the best of times…

The mitigation would have been trivial, gRPC, gRPC Web(which has excellent support in the .Net world) , or a regular HTTP API would have been completely adequate and this database driven solution is the sort thing I’m not surprised to see from a .Net developer, as along with Java devs seem to be the last remaining pockets where it’s obvious that a developer can go their entire career without knowing anything about code outside the corporate Network. Since that’s the only place this is even close to safe, 100% inside the corporate firewall. To clarify this is to say that the only two developer communities where I would not be surprised to see this are Java and .Net, because they contain enough developers who lived inside the corporate walls and have yet to gain enough exposure to wider community practices, not because of anything about the languages themselves but because if the social dynamics involved in the developer population that work with these languages.
well, not loading this on you, but many Bay Area hackerspaces started after people spent time at noisebridge or another related space, and then realised they could work with others to build one somewhere nearer to them physically or ideologically: Ace Monster Toys (now Ace Hackerspace), Queerious Labs, Double Union, Sudo Room, Mothership Hackermoms.
