Ah not quite true though; the “range” is also referring to the exponent range of representable numbers, so don’t forget the small numbers near 0. You can get much smaller numbers with much higher precision out of a single-precision float than a fixed-point 64 bit [0,1] number.

These comments in this thread were a bit surprising to me. People really like to make things hard on themselves not doing a little do diligence. Yes, I still say to simply use conda. It spells out exactly what is getting installed in the environment, and uses a separate python installation for each env than the system. If you don’t trust it just type which python. I never get these headaches people seem to have, since conda is easy and well documented and supported.

Delhi police has a history of beating up protesters and Delhi police works directly for central government and not state administration. You would know if you follow Indian news.

> You know nothing about the laws

Personal attacks usually indicate defending a flawed position. The farmers participating in the largest protest in history definitely knew how the law affected them, as opposed to the govt who passed the laws without discussion.

> Regardless, it's a lie that police beat up farmers.

There are literally tons of videos police beating up farmers. So I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

> Stop spreading propaganda.

The Indian news media did propaganda against farmers. These news channels who never say a word against BJP govt tried so hard to undermine the protest that they were banned from covering the protest. They literally have a name “Godi Media” meaning media sitting in the lap of Modi.

I tried to move off fastmail back to gmail last year because I lost a job opportunity due to a random fastmail-origin email i sent getting blocked by my interviewer's google mail. the first three went through fine, it was only the fourth one that didn't make it. they thought i ghosted and had already chosen another candidate because of it.

ultimately i didn't make the move because email is unusable without custom aliases i can completely bounce email from. but i think i might attempt again, but again I recently found myself insanely paranoid about my interviewing situation and had to make the awkward transitioning to my gmail account and explain why to my interviewer

That is no different than a battery car. You are just shifting pollution to whatever is making your electricity. And if anyone comes in and says "I spent tens of thousands of dollars getting green electricity!" then it should be obvious that the same level of spending could make upstream hydrogen production vastly greener.

And no, it is not "less cost effective" because batteries involve dramatically higher upfront production costs. The argument is really just a troll argument and virtually identical to the same arguments used against battery cars.

We used the "WITH RECURSIVE" basically the moment it shipped in Postgres for the original CoreOS Clair[0] data model which was a graph of software versions and vulnerabilities.
It scaled well compared to a naive graph abstraction implemented outside the database, but when performance wasn't great, it REALLY wasn't great. After running that version in production for a couple years, we ended up throwing it out and remodeling the domain to be less graph-y to achieve more consistent performance.

I've since worked on SpiceDB[1] which scales much better by taking the traditional design approach for graph databases and only treating Postgres as triple-store. IME, there's no short-cut: if you need a graph, you probably want to use a database optimized for graph access patterns. Most general-purpose graph databases are full of optimizations for common traversals that are uncommon operations in relation databases.

GP is curious about the results for the team, not the product.
This is completely true and you're right – smaller triodes and pentodes do have a very linear operating region (Wikipedia has a nice example [1]). I believe, perhaps erroneously, that the larger, high power variants however decidedly have their "foibles" however – an example higher power curve is here [2]. There are plenty of linear operating regions. The trouble is largely that they're not going to have the same gradient!

I realise it doesn't matter that much when you've designed the amp, but in practice I have wondered about e.g. 275 µs delay times (at ~50 MHz) that may well be due to amplifier imperfect phase responses away from the frequency they were designed to work.

Show HN: PianoMeter – Piano Keyboard Visualizer App
Hi! I am a piano teacher and YouTuber from Taiwan. I often need to display a piano keyboard on screen while teaching and livestreaming, but I couldn't find an app that fully met my needs, so I created one myself.

In addition to displaying the played notes, I've also added some interesting features such as note count, chord recognition, legato-ness score, and even calorie consumption, among others.

GitHub page (with a brief description): https://github.com/wiwikuan/pianometer

FWIW, I've been trying to make the jump from FAANG to a smaller, stable company for the past few years. I started off in the smaller companies and miss it terribly. I made a bunch of extra money in the FAANG space, but I'm unhappy. Resentful is the last thing I'd ever be, but the lack of working knowledge is a huge issue. I work weekends on building knowledge, but the lack of direct experience running something at scale means I'll never get the chance to make the jump back to the environment I want and thrive in. I honestly wish I never made the jump for the money in the first place.
Yes, Athena is the serverless data querying alternative to BigQuery, not Redshift. When I used Athena for some large scale data querying just a couple years ago it was extremely slow, like two orders of magnitude slower than BigQuery for the same queries. And the UI, documentation, and just general user experience is nowhere near as good as BigQuery's. Nothing from AWS competes with BigQuery, it's genuinely a good product.
> Makes me wonder if anyone has ever been charged with resisting a citizen’s arrest.

Citizen's arrest is a state phenomenon, meaning that there it's not one single law but rather a function of a variety of laws in states and which differ between states.

That said, most modern citizen's arrest systems in the US trace their origins back to the Civil War era, to provide a way to arrest alleged escaped slaves (emphasis on "alleged").

You can imagine how that played out in practice.

No, he hasn't. He pled guilty to seven unrelated financial charges and to one charge related to the payment to Stormy Daniels: making an excessive campaign contribution.

That last charge doesn't apply to Trump, who is allowed to contribute as much as he wants to his own campaign.

And Cohen's plea tells us nothing about whether recording the payment as "legal expenses" is a crime.

What, exactly, is "clearly a crime"?

The accounting issue is at worst a misdemeanor, unless the DA can show that the payment to SD was a campaign finance violation.

But if it was "clearly" a campaign finance violation, why haven't federal prosecutors charged him with that?

Bragg is a motivated prosecutor trying to find a way to prosecute Trump for a charge he has no jurisdiction over, while the prosecutors who do have jurisdiction don't think it's worth prosecuting.

And that's dangerous. Prosecutions should not be motivated by politics.

> Most cities that started to follow through on either scrapping their police force or cutting their funding saw a massive spike in crime

This is factually incorrect. Every major city in the country increased funding for police between 2019-2021. None defunded the police. Some made temporary adjustments in 2020 due to pandemic changes, but every single one was reversed by a subsequent increase over baseline levels for the 202-2021 or 2021-2022 cycle, depending on when the city's fiscal year falls.

Minneapolis is the only one which even voted to permanently defunded the police, but that was reversed before it went into effect.
