I definitely agree for Canada. A docile population that doesn't care much about anything, and the weird feudal / aristocratic corporate structure we have, rather than any real representative democracy. I understand Australia is similar but don't know first hand.
Intuition tells me e^sin(x) would look similar to an ordinary sinusiod, except its range would be between e^-1 and e, and its shape would not be smooth as a sinusiod. I have no idea what the shape would look like, and I'm a visual learner when it comes to mathematics.

I think most of these questions are not measuring intuition per se, but rather has the tested person previously seen such functions plotted on a graph.

Either that, or my mathematical intuition has got rusty from years of code monkeying.
Curious to hear more, what specifically is complicated about it?

SvelteKit is a JavaScript framework, it makes sense that you can't use it with other languages. You can pair it with a backend of your choice of course, but to get the SSR benefits you do need to work within the framework.

There are other ways of using Svelte with other languages, I would take a look at something like Inertia.js [0].

KMS is often used to store KEKs only, you'd still have to create and manage DEKs and use AEAD for actual data encryption.

60-80Kwh is enough to power a house for a week+, for a battery that can store 2 hours of power?
Sure its reusable, but the energy debt is large and it will remain a power consuming device.
Mostly due to charging the battery from non renewable sources, essentially, never paying off the power debt to create it.
I grew up in PA in the early 90's, and ticks were everywhere, even in the suburban woods we'd play in. About 25 years ago when my family took a trip to Chincoteague Island in VA, my little sister got Lyme disease.

Even in the late 90's, I must've brought a pregnant tick into the house with me, there were scores of them in my room one summer.

I now live in Anchorage Alaska -- and while there are no deer ticks, ticks that bite dogs have been steadily moving up the coast and are now here.

So I agree about numbers and range extending, but not the timeline you mention. Those suckers were everywhere on the east coast 30 years ago.
I was aware of the floor function (and the corresponding ceiling function) since I’m a software engineer. But I wasn’t aware that you could graph it. It never came up in high school or college math. And I never thought about it. Of course, it makes sense now that I’ve seen it.

I prefer to work for between 2 and 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. And it's always work for myself, not an employer. I'm always fresh for a few hours after I wake up, and enjoy it. Never regretted fewer hours more often. Often regretted more hours in a single sitting (ie. I don't work late).
This would make for a good mental math interview problem. Thanks.
Off the top aren't there differential equations that are inseparable? ie you cannot just pretend x and y are x(t) and y(t).
Your patent has to fully describe how the invention works. And if it doesn't work at all, then who cares if you own a patent for it, it's a useless invention anyway.

If your rocket does work, then yes being able to lock everyone else out of it for decades is the entire point.

But once those decades are over, anyone else can copy your idea, which has been documented for all of eternity. There's an almost endless list of inventions before patents that were never made public, and nobody knows how they worked.

Unfortunately, that's the idea for how patents are supposed to work. In the real world what we have is patent trolls.

Ask HN: Have you taken anti-aging supplements that reduced biological age?
I am curious to hear from anyone that has tried anti aging supplements and observed a measurable reduction in their biological age as a direct result of the supplements? I am equally interested in hearing from those that tried these, or similar supplements with no measurable reduction in biological age.

For those that observed a measurable reduction in biological age:

- What were the supplements & dosage?
- What was the measurable improvement?

Examples of such supplements:

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN)
Resveratrol
Metformin
Statin
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA)
Coenzyme Q10 (coQ10)
Spermidine
Quercetin and fisetin
TMG (trimethylglycine or betaine)

It's the floor operator. Also known as round down.
I am, many are not - in the timeframe of an election cycle it is wasted money. The money spent today would only show positive returns in 10-20 years time.

State school in the UK costs the governement £7,100 a year per pupil vs £13,700 a year for private schools (averages). The government is getting poor value for money, but it would cost ~50bn a year to send every secondary state school pupil to private schools.

It is cheaper to simply pander to your base, make the next generation of their offspring dumber and blame the foreigners or the rich people or boats or whatever gets people angry. It actually increases the size of your political base, with the only downside that it dumps your future party with a massive social welfare bill in the distant future. By then they will be burying you at a state funeral, and your decendants will be living offshore somewhere nice talking about how great the country was back in your day.
I think most countries in Europe would have local solar panel sellers. I'm in Ireland which is usually pretty bad for availability of things, (for example, there's no amazon.ie - we have to buy from UK or DE) and even here we have solartricity.ie, solarstore.ie and several others.

Longi panels are what I got, if you want a recognisable brand name Panasonic also do them.

It does - the EU public domain law is "70 years after author death or, for a foreign work, the international copyright length, whichever is shorter", not "70 years after author death".

I'd go further and say that they're actually the bane of my existence when I'm looking for help/pointers on, for example, Windows issues. Inevitably somebody will have posted the same issue on one of the public Windows support forums, but the only responses will be completely low value and irrelevant nonsense[0] from the swarm of numbskulls who seem to inhabit these places. Almost never do I actually find any useful information, but these places pollute the first page, sometimes the first few pages, of search results on Google et al. Very frustrating.

As a Mastodon user myself, I don't find these low-content, context-free, analysis-free Mastodon stat post submissions to HN to be useful. It's just an excuse for people to argue.

I'm not even sure why people need to argue about this. If you want to use Mastodon, then do it, and if you don't want to use Mastodon, then don't. Is anyone forcing you? It's a personal choice. And no, Mastodon will never replace Twitter for hundreds of millions of people; it was never designed to do so. Mastodon vs. Twitter is a false dichotomy. It's more like Twitter vs. itself, Twitter vs. not-Twitter. From my own perspective, Mastodon is simply a place I happened to go after I already decided to stop using Twitter.

I suspect that to a large extent, arguing Twitter vs. Mastodon is only a proxy for arguing for or against the new owner of Twitter, and this argument has been rehashed ad infinitum on HN from various angles.
It would be interesting to have some practical application for it. I don't see a point in building such network, unless you can use it for something.
First its worth baring in mind that actual IQ test requires a specialist and takes a long time, so most will use something that correlates with IQ scores instead.

Simple counter argument is that IQ tests are not domain specific enough and not causative of domain specific capability even where complex reasoning is involved. Therefore, you should test closer to the role.

E.g. for developers, a ranking of candidates by LeetCode scores will not be the same as the ranking of candidates by Raven progressive matrices -- they may correlate, but the differences are important and -- arguably -- one is more job specific than the other.

After using Gandi for a brief moment I switched to Namecheap many many years ago and never looked elsewhere. Everything just works, they don't send random marketing emails to upsell something and it just feels like a boring company. Which is exactly what I'm looking for in a domain registrar.

Mid afternoon meetings are terrible for me; I never feel like I can really settle into a difficult task unless I know that I have the option to make it the last thing I'm doing that day. As soon as I have something scheduled between 1 and 4, that day becomes a write-off and I try to fill it with other meetings and smaller, less consequential tasks.

If I could start each day with 2-3 short meetings then have the rest of the day available to get something actionable done, both me and my employer would be much better off.
Okay they have changed the wording a bit and now it's a bit more clear that hosting was not actually added to my cart, that it's a discount that I can remove for Hosting and not actual hosting (why is a discount even added to my cart though?). It used to be a bit more unclear, and the "trash" icon besides the "X" icon is also pretty weirdly placed IMHO, but yeah at least the wording is slightly better now:

"Your first yearly web hosting subscription is 50% off. This offer cannot be applied to your shopping cart" (then why did you add it???).

The problem is that most teachers cannot come up with questions that go outside the small number of cases which the student trains on. I mean, coming up with fundamentally new questions is very hard work once the low hanging fruit is gone.
Not really. We also have to put this in the context of US life expectancy being significantly lower than comparable European countries. Britain for example has also had a very high immigration rate for a couple of centuries now, but no comparable difference is seen there.

In the US money (and as proxy college education) is a gateway to a lot of things that influence health outcome, notably access to health treatment. So Occam's razor would suggest that is the simplest explanation - Europe has national health programs that provide access to good quality medical treatment for all levels of society. The US simply doesn't. See the infant mortality statistics.

Show HN: I made a SQL game to help people learn / challenge their skills
There's a story mode for learning an a challenges mode so people can see how they stack up in terms of speed and accuracy.

Nautical theme is purely because I find puns are a good way to get past decision paralysis at the start of a project.

It was important to me that this wasn't just checking the SQL matches an exact string so it runs a SQLite database directly in the browser and checks user results directly against expected data. The fact that it is all client side also means that people can delete rows/ tables and it won't affect others.

I made it mainly as a way to get more familiar with JS Web frameworks. Would do a lot differently if I started again, but that's kinda the point!
Windows supports Vulkan just fine. People use DX because of Xbox and tooling - the existence of yet another API won't change that. And neither will WebGL be better on macOS than MolenVK.

> It turns out, that within the silos of Apple, they do no communicate back and forth with each other. So the iTunes team read the white paper on the MOV file format and wrote all of their automation expecting these values to be present. Unfortunately, the team writing FCP had not updated their exporter to use these new features of the MOV.

I was somewhat involved in this at Apple at the time! Your description is actually a decent description of the reality on the ground. The following may however have some misremembered details so don't take it as gospel.

At the time QuickTime was migrating internally the older MacOS era subsystems to newer ones under the hood. The low level frameworks were private to QuickTime, Apple didn't ship public headers for them. Both iTMS and FCP however did use the private headers to use those frameworks directly.

With iTMS they had a bespoke media ingest and export pipeline. They were calling QuickTime's private frameworks but doing their own thing with the raw samples between ingest and export. IIRC they had QuickTime branch/builds of their own because their encoder fleet didn't just jump on the latest OS and QuickTime version.

FCP/Compressor were also directly using QuickTime's private frameworks but as I recall shipped their own private copies of some of them. I believe this was due to those revving with the OS rather than QuickTime's package but FCP had to support older OSes.

Even QuickTime's behavior wasn't entirely consistent. Videos captured on iPhones had an assumed color space (Rec.709 IIRC) but at the time didn't write the tags into the files. QuickTime had to recognize iPhone originated files and then play them as if they were tagged then tag them if it exported (pass-thru or otherwise) those files. For other untagged input files it assumed tags based on the frame size, SD sizes were assumed to be Rec.601 if they weren't tagged and HD sizes Rec.709 if they were untagged. Of course tagged files didn't need any guessing and got the tagged behavior on playback and export.

It's not necessarily that the three teams didn't talk to each other, their schedules were just wildly different cadences. While the QuickTime group was writing all the frameworks being used they were concerned mostly with the low level issues. They were also supporting iLife, iTunes (the app), and QuickTime Player/plugin releases along with a good portion of the group working on iOS as well. FCP and iTMS were just internal customers writing their own stuff using the low level frameworks.
Musk likes dumb jokes but I think an intentional 3-day pause for a gag is too far.
There's no mention of that at all in the "How can I delete a domain?" section though. Guess what normal people (like me) google when they want to remove an domain? "Delete domain gandi" or "Remove domain gandi", which ends you up here:

It's possible because the road you're driving is an abstraction that eliminates so much information.

While you're running through the woods, you have to see and account for every rock and root or you trip, fall, and get literally eaten alive. While driving on a road, you don't need to consider the road itself at all, really.

That's the technology of roads - removing all obstacles to travel. A road is literally an empty, smooth space. So now you only need to consider traffic, turns, and distance.

I'm not surprised at all that our brains that can probably remember the locations of every fruiting bush and tree in our territory can efficiently encode some turns.
