You said land, and afaik it was land and not crash, even if it was too hard for test dummies. Dunno that people were upvoting something incorrect.
"speculation" was a bit improper, but prices are intertwined.. demand in one sector will affect demand in other, so forecasts cause price fluctuation that reaches afar.
If Reddit starts charging for its API like Twitter is doing, Reddit can expect a swift exodus of its most dedicated users and a decline in the quality of its content. Nobody wants to suffer a bad user experience, and nobody wants to pay for the privilege of contributing content to a for-profit company. In the long run, the only social networks that will have a durable future are the ones that allow alternative third-party clients. All of the others will inevitably devolve into a mess of low-quality content and increasingly intrusive advertising.

RedReader and other third-party clients made Reddit tolerable. Take that away, and many users will stop tolerating Reddit.
Java in Java isn't slow, it is a matter of how it is done.

Too late, but I hope you see it. I only want to add a highlight.

One you fix a finite set of symbols, let's say ascii [1], the amount of numbers you can describe with it with strings of finite length is different from the amount you can describe if you allow also infinite length.

The difference between finite length and infinite length in this problem is very important.

Jack Dorsey criticizes Elon Musk’s leadership at Twitter: ‘It all went south’
You can find the asked questions in the very first link of the article.

It's way better than just saying "It's probably the same study they've talked about on TV!" and you can really tell "I've done my own research!" without lying.
Did that, got a compiler error within seconds within seconds. Looks like it might need a newer version of gcc than is in the distro on my laptop. Which is why people ask for Docker. If it really will work just with make with build-essential on a new enough distro image, a Dockerfile that documents that would be trivial, and does not at all stop people from just typing make if their setup is new enough.

How come mul is bad? It is a low cycle latency - Skylake had 3cycles per imul, mul r32 - a single cycle. Div is bad but mul is great.

edit: Memory access (along with div) is pretty much the only slow operation in modern CPUs -- extra pressure on L1 just to have random number is not smart at any rate, heck Marsaglia's xor (random) is likely cheaper than accessing L1, very likely all the latency to be hidden behind the memory access.
While we're here, could we also please have clear separation between commands and data? Eg, I hate stuff like:

$ bin/rails generate scaffold user name email login

Which is it?

$ bin/rails --generate=scaffold --user=name --email=login

Or:

$ bin/rails --generate=scaffold --user=username --name=fullname --email=address --login=login_name

Or:

$ bin/rails --generate --scaffold=user --name=fullname --email=address --login=login_name

Or what?
Gas cooktops were very popular and are still common in New Zealand. It used to be legal (within building code) to run a small 9kg gas bottle (BBQ size) under your cooktop in a kitchen cupboard, so very cheap to install. Resistive cooktops were and are pretty aweful.

Gas indoors is now considered a health hazard even with range hood, and while you can still buy gas cooktops, I haven't seen a new build with gas in a long time.
> 4. It's just not worth it to support gas infrastructure just for gas stoves.

My oven/cooktop is gas, along with my on-demand hot water heater, and fire place. I also have a connection outside that I use for my grill. I think my heatpump has gas backup for when it's really cold.

Gas powers a lot more than just stoves.

Meanwhile here in europe electric stoves work just fine, cook faster, are cleaner and safer. Entering a house with gas stoves feels like stepping back in time.
Evictions are quick, easy, and decisive

While it varies from place to place, this is false.

There is no lawyer who will defend tenants against landlords

There are many such lawyers.

all they have to do is decide not to renew your lease

That's true generally. If the lease says "1 year" it does not imply "n years". You seem to think that is a problem--that a contract says what it means. In some very lefty places, to be sure, tenants will stop paying and squat, and landlords have a years-long nightmare.

...

As for the article, your typical good-credit, good-income tenants who have options might actually be able to use the service to save trouble. Your typical deadbeats have to take what they can get, bad reviews or otherwise. Another potential user would be professional scammers, who might be able to discern which of the "bad" landlords are just hard-asses who expect to be paid, and so could use the service to avoid them.

Plenty of FOSS is dual licensed, this really isn’t as hard or complicated as some are making it out to be.
Actually I kind of enjoy that decision, after years of putting off with "my compiler compiles yours", it was yet another domain where C lost to C++.

Regarding FOSS, C++ is also a UNIX child, born on the same offices.
Clarity, yes. But not specific rules. Or we're back to the Plain English Campaign simplistic "only write in the active voice" silliness.
There were plenty of anemic diesels in the 80s with 0-60 times over 20 seconds.

Highway merges, especially in PA (with many short merge zones) could be white knuckle affairs in those underpowered cars.
I didn't say it wasn't true I was just trying to say it didn't make sense to me. If you're trying to build a giant supercomputer it seems like you would pick something where the software works. But maybe they are using ROCm. It seems like that only works for the higher end stuff. Maybe they're planning on running stuff that's already been built on OpenCL, and AMD is competing on the price for the publicity.
“Quietly” surely that’s a joke when it’s in the title of an article promoting the act?
Stew Leonard Senior Dies at 93; Founded ‘Disneyland of Dairy Stores’
I've noticed often the response to criticism is "you should have spent $10k more". And the people who spent the extra who enquire about excessive costs then get met with "why did you over-spec your system?" lol
See, this is exactly what we're talking about.

Firstly, every day is clearly not a celebration of men. This is exactly the same lie that the feminists pushed in the Slack channel. A "celebration" has lots of very specific aspects to it, for example they wanted the company doing public announcements, praising female employees (for existing, more or less), talking about how important it is to hire more women and so on.

Secondly, men don't receive higher salaries when controlling for the work done and age. When you control for those things women now earn higher salaries, reflecting feminist biases in hiring. This insistence that work and motherhood should be ignored is also a feminist meme that's been repeatedly debunked since the 1980s. It never goes away because if feminists were to accept this, they'd have to also concede that different choices lead to different outcomes, that men and women make different choices, and therefore that disparate outcomes is not oppression. And that would undermine the whole premise of feminist ideology. So feminists can never be honest about salaries, if they were, they'd no longer be feminists.

> About half the content on Mastodon is usually complaining about Twitter yet this week the attention turned to Bluesky. What a depressed cynical bunch they are.

No it’s not? You’re just following people that talk about that, I don’t see any Twitter/Bluesky discourse on my timeline
I dont think its personal, at least it isn't for me. Its because it is wrong. If it is documentation intended for people new to this its better to explain everything, and avoid making assumptions about what is simple or not. Its so much better to just have documentation of everything or to refer to it.
It is generative. I have used a combination of LLM, fined tuned text to image models and a model that tags the components from design systems. Post this I am writing code to convert this to figma components using figma API. Also using some heuristic algorithms to correct for layout artefacts.
The argument that is peculiar to the Austrian school is that monetary policy is the _only_ thing that causes inflation. Not that it can’t contribute to it.

And personally I think the last 15 years have done a pretty good job as a counterpoint to that school. The whole QE regime was chugging along without generating a large amount of inflation and then we had both the supply and demand numbers go bonkers. Then inflation.

I think this period will be studied for years (though because it’s economics I doubt there will be much decided).
You know how we have this image that eastern countries are corrupt? Once you recognize the blatant corruption that is “lobbying” America doesn’t look so pure.
I think your snark is understandable in this case. It’s a really solid life skill to be able to frame your own experience as not being the norm. It’s relatively easy to fall into the trap of thinking that how you use a tool is the only way folks should or do use it. Khan Academy is an easy example that shows YouTube can and has been used for education beyond entertainment.
> Nowadays, people seem to be overly sensitive about their code and the way we communicate, among other things.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, anytime you see "Nowadays" or "these days" or something similar, you can be guaranteed that whatever statement follows it is a universal truism about the human condition that recency has no bearing on.

People are sensitive about their work. And sensitive to how we communicate together. Always have been. Always will be.
30 years ago, one decision altered the course of our connected world
I’ve always wanted to talk to people who make these tools and whether they realize the harm they can cause. A lot of people complain about YouTube videos having lots of fluff, trying to meet certain length requirements, having sponsor spots. Of course they do. They are trying to make a living on something that is free so they can continue to make content. Everything that they do is an adaptation to the fact that people don’t want to pay for content at all.

There will always be super fans who will donate on patreon, buy merch, subscribe to YouTube memberships, do super chats etc. But even larger channels have a hard time doing that without constant calls to action. This is why reacting has gotten so popular. It takes a long time to shoot, edit and upload even a well produced 5minute YouTube video. Linus tech tips talks about how much easier it is to do that type of content in his video explaining why they were thinking of making a react channel. By reacting you get a constant stream of videos you can put out everyday that please the algorithm, and only take 1 take to do.

Other high value content like FreyaHolmer’s video on Splines, which is a high quality, hour long video, get hundreds of thousands of views, take over a year to make, but do very poorly in revenue, making valuable educational content on YouTube that is actually useful unsustainable withought all the other tactics mentioned above.

This is partly YouTube’s fault as people expect it to be free and I don’t think that will ever change. Which is a shame because I know Google would pull the plug if it stoped being profitable and the watch times plummeted, and the creators left. But if we kill YouTube we will have noone to blame but ourselves. I think Substack has a better model for creators, and there is an expectation that creators will monetize their Substack once it gets larger. Casey Muratori talks about this, and says it’s why he puts his educational content there instead of on YouTube for free.

Especially when we have the entirety of modern monitors available to us, use color to indicate which parts of the command/code are mandatory/boilerplate and which are optional, and which are the actual "values" you'll be using.
Unfortunately not all of the sanitizers are working in clang for Apple Silicon machines. For my own CI pipeline I run both Darwin and Linux builds, leaks and valgrind respectively, along with the kitchen sink of compiler sanitizers:

Do you blame personal responsibility for the obesity epidemic?

Do you blame personal responsibility for a smoker’s lung cancer?

Do you blame personal responsibility for the liver failure of an alcoholic?

Do you blame personal responsibility for the Rohingya genocide?

It’s easy to blame the parents when Meta creates a hyper addictive application with beauty filters for example that amplifies society’s pressure on young girls to be of a certain pre-determined “norm”.

The issues young girls are facing go far beyond the extremely narrow view of “it’s the parent’s fault”.
Glad that you liked it and thanks for sharing the feedback. Custom fonts is in the works and should be coming soon!
Induction these days is almost as cheap as gas, not sure if that makes a difference any more.

I still like looking on gas a lot better.
Do you think such a person can do anything they put their mind to? Also I don't know where skin pigmentation came into this though I'll admit I didn't read the article - does it say something about differential racial effects?

This is such a bizarre take. The post is about removing some unnecessary wording from technical documentation that doesn't add anything, and as an aside can sometimes imply complex tasks are simpler than they are to the detriment of the app/library/service it's documenting. I have no idea why you'd think this implies some personal failing or that it is advice for "babies"
Nah, It's just corruption smoke and mirrors, it's just wealth transfer in exchange for kickbacks but adding a middleman some how makes it legal.

Like SuperPAC's and all that bullshit
Can "forced" in this context be interpreted as "peer pressured" by the person being interviewed?

I'm not here to doubt the statistics. But when I was young peer pressure was a problem when it came to sex.

I don't know if I would consider "I was pressured by my peers to have sex, but I didn't really want to" as rape. Or at least, I don't know who the rapist would be in this case.

And it affects men too. First time I made out with a girl, I really didn't like her (as in I found her boring and not attractive). But my friends were pressuring me towards it. A few shots of vodka later, and I did what I had to do.
Right so that why it's not useful for this
Why have a heating unit for food at all if we can all survive on gruel at room temperature?

"You don't need it, so you can't have it" is a dangerous argument.
>But there's a material difference between "attempting, in good faith, to determine what the demand for a commodity will be in the future, and buying based on that" and "attempting to determine what the price of a commodity on the futures market will be and buying based on that".

These are indistinguishable. Unless you want to restrict markets to being only between suppliers and consumers, there will always be middlemen attempting to predict the price, and since they need to eat, they will be attempting to profit from changes in price.

Which is fine because suppliers and consumers are many times willing to let others handle the risks of price changes (volatility), hence the market for futures.
I think -Wno-sign-conversion is a bad idea if you like -Wconversion. It's either with or without conversion warnings, in my opinion, because while you do not lose bits when assigning an unsigned to an int (or vice versa), you do get a misinterpretation of the sign bit and thus a change of the conceptional value the bits represent. It's just highly annoying in C that no-one cares, because C integer typing is so lax by default.
Really wish gcc had a -std flag for "POSIX but no GNU extensions". Currently you're forced to choose between -std=cXX for the pure C standard or -std=gnuXX for C + POSIX + GNU extensions.
This is the case for almost all companies. When something is in their best interest, but that interest aligned with yours then the company is good.

See Google. Do no evil was easy for them when their business model made that look easy. Once privacy became a big deal then they became evil. But really its just interests we’re no longer aligned.
Tianhe-1 is a lot of Xeons, Nvidias, and some SPARC-like CPUs. It's not a single image machine with a gigantic shared pool of memory, but a cluster of 7000-ish nodes with very fast interconnects, managed with SLURM. In that sense, these supercomputers are somewhat boring - they are a very large cluster of relatively mundane machines. In that regard, an ARM Mac is more interesting because CPUs and GPUs share memory and you don't need to copy it over a PCIe bus.

Cerebras is a tour de force, but it's far from a general purpose computer. What it does, it does well, but you won't see it doing transactional workloads.
I agree with the post. If you consider that your docs are also a form of advertising... don't shoot yourself in the foot and make your readers feel stupid.

I would go one step further. If we are talking about CLI tool usage - the cli should have two modes. One interactive using gum or some similar library. Once complete - it should output the non-interactive equivalent CLI command.

The interactive run should give short explanations to help learn the tool.

The takeaway point is that docs are partially advertisements - and if you don't want to lose people - your docs have to be carefully crafted.
> From the first world, only the middle class and higher can afford such a luxury.

That is a HN perspective.

Blue collar shift workers often leave the work at work, and don't 'hop on a call' outside work. I took a 4x10 shift job and it has good benefits and pays enough for vacations. For the extravagant luxuries, TGFBtc.
Automating that would be helpful but I'm not sure how. Similar Text2SQL models require full description of each fields in the database. That is somewhat automated but in real world systems, it still requires manual explanation since they have the context on it.
One time I had to take a ride in a stretch limo for a long ride to an airport because it was the only thing the car service had on short notice. I know they’re not meant for highway travel, but it was easily the worst ride I’ve ever experienced; it’s good that I don’t get seasick.
It's a recurring pattern: people not being able to tell "like in the country I/my ancestors came from" apart from "like in the decade/century I/my ancestors left the old country". In the emigrant's mind, the old country is forever locked in the old times. Can't really blame them for it, it's a natural mistake to make, but a mistake nonetheless.
1) I think it is also pretty bad, when mental health is concerned. When you (assuming a teenage boy) were verbally forced to have sex with a girl you didn't lose anything but per Christian culture in the US a girl would. It's just a bigger deal.

2) in this case it is "physically forced", see the paper.
And even if it were true, trends matter. It's not the case now and for sure it's going to be less the case 5, 10 years from now.

We can't build new stuff which is practically obsolete on day 1 and a burden just 10 years from now.
People generally want borders around the text they’re editing. This makes the width of the editing area more arbitrary than simply the width of the screen / fixed width font.
Entering into and then holding up your end of fair bargains with other people is a good thing to do. We need that a lot more than we need altruistic gestures, in my opinion.
Not sure if you’re serious or not, but Ben Falk does this. I love his setup.

You can not assume and look at the questions that were asked.

>Have you ever been physically forced to have sexual intercourse when you did not want to?

There, so you won't have to assume wrongly.

Sorry about the snark but my sister was raped 4 years ago. The rapist is still free. At least his daughter (same age as my sister) know about it.
Induction cooktops are not expensive anymore. This would have been an argument 10 or 15 years ago but not today.

The price difference between a resistive 4 element resistive and a inductive cooktop is like 20€ maybe 30€ tops. So a cheap one will cost you between 200€ to 250€

(maybe the pricing in US is totally different but that is what you pay for the cheap stuff here in Finland)
It is arguments like these that make me happy I live in a country where you rent a flat and bring your own kitchen (and appliances).

Yeah I am also not exactly sure how I would go automate that process. Maybe I can use the figma code of the design system component and then run it through some classifier to classify it. I will work on it as soon as I release the beta.
Helium maybe?
car manufacturers seeing the same sales data would then secure lithium supply 12 months ahead for an expected 12x growth, which then turns out to be only 5x. From macro data pov, the graph is still trending up. This is why guidance is important and also why lithium miners hedge against their inventory using future market. Supply and demand still applies, just that its effect is being amplified by overleveraged commodities trading market.
