I don’t think this is very convincing. The higher ups might think a job is necessary even though it isn’t. So they may still invest in automating it even if it wasn’t necessary in the first place.

What's your definition of mid-sized city? I ask because the hierarchy in the article starts with walking, and very few midsized cities are livable if your only form of transportation is your own two feet.

I'm also curious about what your concept of "usable" is with regards to bus transportation, since in my experience bus service tends to be highly focused around commuting to a downtown work area - with very degraded service outside these times and areas.

Except the cost of advance packaging isn't cheap. So while you save on validation , yield and multi use of component you are trading those with much higher cost of packaging. Although CoWoS being a must have for all future HPC AI requirement I assume we could drive down the cost relatively quickly. But I still have doubt in certain market segment whether this make sense, especially those in the lower end market.

I just want to echo the OTHER completely astounding thing Hufman did: Back when r/the_donald was a thing, the guy edited posts from other people to change the narrative.

Now, I dont subscribe to the ideas of the morons in the_donald (I'm even ot from the USA) but I really took offense at what he did... like, what freaking integrity can a person have, when he does that kind of sleazy things.

Not even CmdrTaco or his team did it with all the trolls in Slashdoy.
Does that include LGBTQ content? If yes, then this probably go under the definition of intolerance and in California there are protections. YouTube should not be allowed to filter the content like that, it must have it readily available for all audiences.
Also you can finance a phone even with awful credit as long as the carrier you choose doesn’t have history with you. $45 a month for the top of the line iPhone is basically a fart in the wind at the grocery store.

I have discovered that the software is not really relevant, it's mostly the organization employing it that makes a living hell out of teams productivity. Jira can be configured to have 4 simple task states and no required fields. It can be deployed in a way that it's reasonably fast.
For almost a decade I've had a modded HD555, and another one that's not modded. I have never been able to tell a difference in audio output between the two. By contrast, moving to strictly better gear (as when I got the first HD555, or when I got the HD6XX that's replaced them both for music listening) is an immediately perceptible step change.

Basically, the foam mod is nonsense. I get why it was popular, especially in audiophile circles where snake oil is always at least on the menu and often just is the menu. (Green marker around the rim of a CD, anyone? It makes the bits sound warmer!) At least in the case of the foam mod there's a physically plausible mechanism, which puts it head and shoulders above most audiophile nonsense. But it still does not make a perceptible difference in practice.
There is a introskip plugin for jellyfin it's in beta and does not work with all clients yet but it very good at intro detecting for most of my shows. Most of the client app developers have added support for the plugin apart for some that say the plugin is not official they will not add the intro skip button until it is officially accepted in jellyfin.

Yet US defense spending vs GDP is nearly the lowest it has ever been in the last fifty years. If defense spending v GDP is a sign of a falling empire, we fell in 1960.

Plus seriously, if you think spending 4% of GDP will cause a country or "empire" to collapse you need to read some history books.

At my day job we use ClickUp and as a contractor for another large company we use Jira. ClickUp is actually awesome. It’s a joy to use, it has more features then we need, it’s extremely flexible when it comes to linking tasks together. It has a document solution that’s very good. I would highly recommend.

TikTok is suggested spying on people.

Why would TikTok matter here at all?

And me and other people said it often enough: as soon as crypto is big enough to threaten countries control over money they will make it illegal and the loudly repeated benefit of uncontrolled money will be gone.

And it was also always clear that crypto is not solving this problem because it's by design and not a problem to solve.
By having an already trusted CA cert on the client. But that would involve a really elaborate attack by an APT (having for instance a stolen CA that's still valid).
And keep it approachable! There is nothing wrong with writing that fantasy basketball calculator as a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets have many advantages that get overlooked by pushing for a "real language" while jump into a programming language involves learning a lot of new concepts at once.

For example, spreadsheets make all the memory visible at once. It makes sense like a piece of paper. You also have intuitive understanding of your algorithms memory consumption. Computing something for N by N obviously uses N^2 cells. Many problems will be solved in 2^n which will mean dragging down that cell for a short while at low values and suddenly a very long while.
You don't need either or neither to get the same point across. "It doesn't use Chrome or Gecko" works just fine :)
That’s how so much of life is. Moving up is somewhat “meh” and disappointing, but moving back down feels like a huge downgrade. It’s sort of a bummer!

Show HN: I recorded a video course to let anyone learn Math bottom-up
This course was intended for ages 7 and up, including adults. I really tried to make the material accessible to everyone, and hopefully not be too boring, while it establishes a solid foundation for learning anything else.

If you do watch it, let me know if it is helpful in getting a solid foundation!

My background: Before I got full-time into software development, I was doing a Ph. D in math at NYU. I thought YouTube needed something like this.

Building a full-stack monorepo with NestJS, NextJS and tRPC
I have fallen in love with this tech stack as the developer experience is SO good!

In particular, I love that:

- It's fully end-to-end type safe
- The tRPC server is fully integrated into NestJS, so you have access to all of NestJS's wonderful functionality like dependency injection
- Fits really well with the NextJS 13 transition to server-side rendering
- It keeps the frontend(s) and backend project separate, but seamlessly working together in the monorepo
All sequences of 5 numbers in the range [6] should be 6 * 6 * ... * 6 = 6^5, which would give 12.92 bits, so 13. The only way to actually do better than sending every symbol would be run length encoding or other non fixed alphabet encodings, which fortunately do not need to be longer than the entropy of the distribution.
I wonder why you're on your third pair of Marshall Mode EQs :)

I'm partly having a go at them because I have a pair lying around that broke in less than a year. I usually go through a pair in a year (a year and a half) as I'm not very careful with the way I take care of my heaphones/in-ears. However, having said that, I think the EQs have a pretty mediocre build quality. For example, with the way I handled them, the cover of one in ear piece, fell of after a couple of months, and 6-8 months in the jack connector wires got a bit too much wear and tear and no longer connect properly. Also their EQ toggle made the treble (for the Electronic/DnB/Metal music I listen to) a bit too harsh.

Personally for earbuds/earphones I'd recommend anything which is as flat as possible and then you can boost up your preferred range. Alternatively you can go with a pair that has a measured profile (https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq), which you can use to normalizes the frequency response and tweak it after.

For example I went with the cheap AKG Type-C earbuds, which have very harsh mids towards treble (https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/samsung/akg-type-c), but because their sound profile is within the database linked above, I could use Wavelet on Android to compensate for it (and EasyEffects on the desktop) to have them be as neutral as possible, and then boost on top of that. For a ~$10'ish pair of earbuds I am quite impressed. I also had to chose them because I have a "modern" phone that decided that a Jack is so 20th century.
We can’t know the counterfactual so we can never be sure. Perhaps some of those people were doing “long term” work that would have yielded more benefit in the next 5 years than Musk will get.

> Is this « dev »? Then what’s the point of discrete maths?

You can probably retire on a 6% coupon if you save a lot, but you'll have a much more comfortable retirement if you can clip a 15% coupon on those same savings.

Discrete Mathematics is usually some mish-mash of formal logic, induction, combinatorics, number theory, and baby probability. You can get away without knowing these things, but studying them doesn't take very long (14 weeks, part time?!) and pays a very handsome dividend. A foundation in this sort of knowledge, and practice operationalizing it, is often the difference between $60K/yr and $100K+/yr for junior developers. The size of the dividend payment generally increases as one's career progresses, assuming you stay on the IC track.

Induction and formal logic are useful for reasoning about programs that contain loops. Often you can get away with intuitive understanding, and many people program for years before encountering problems where formal and structured reasoning becomes necessary (myself included!). But most well-paid developers will encounter a problem or two each year where reasoning about non-trivial loops is required and where the basics of induction and formal logic are tremendously helpful.

Exposure to basic thinking techniques in combinatorics is essential for reasoning even informally about time and resource complexity. Writing code that relies on non-trivial time and resource complexity analyses is occasionally necessary in most well-paying developer positions.

The very basics of number theory is useful for understanding, conceptually, how cryptography works. This isn't essential for most dev positions. But it is helpful knowledge.

Baby probability is increasingly required knowledge for many dev positions, and not just because of the explosion of AI/ML/DS.

Again, you don't need this material often. You can probably go an entire career avoiding the brutal pain of spending 14 weeks, 1-2 hours per work day, studying simple mathematics. But the ability to pull these skills out when they're needed is the difference between commodity "keep him around if we have billable hours" bootcamp labor and in-demand "smart and we really need to keep him around and eventually promote him to principal" labor.

It's been a while since I last tried setting it up, but I can't remember anything during the setup talking about external streaming libraries. I tried setting it up in the way I expected it to work based on my previous knowledge.

I didn't see anything in the UI on my TV mentioning different libraries, or giving me the option to switch from the external Plex library to my own. At a certain point these things stop being user problems and become UX problems.

In this case, it's a foreign Mercurial repository, not Git.

And remember that users' builds can contain arbitrary custom shell scripts that perform "git clone" or "hg clone" commands. It could be very, very difficult for Github to build an automated system that meddles with the behavior of those scripts to introduce caching, while guaranteeing not to break anything.

Very true, my comment was more directed towards what you're discussing. The difference between "sharing a lane with SUVs on a regular street" and "physically separated bike path" is massive, and the lack of bike infrastructure makes cycling a complete non-starter for many.
Yes, though note that RW locks need to maintain the count of readers, and most implementations just use use a single counter in the lock state word, which makes them as subject to contention as a reference count.

folly::SharedMutex, the main RW lock in folly, tries to shard them by core when it detects contention (in fact it is the OG core-sharded primitive in folly) and when that works it is virtually linearly scalable, but the detection is a heuristic (which also has to minimize memory and writer cost) so there are still access patterns that can be pathological.
Seems like companies now think re-earning goodwill involves releasing open source tools (Microsoft with VSCode, Meta with Llama.)

Even the success of remote work shows this. People want to avoid the office (and the commute) to get more time with friends, family, and their hobbies. The internet is most successful when it helps people live the life they want in the meatspace, not when it tries to replace it.

I’m a bit confused as to why 700 automated clone requests per day would be an unreasonable amount of traffic for a project like GMP. That doesn’t sound like much traffic to me, especially since they reportedly have a 24 core CPU with 256GB of RAM. Is cloning a mercurial repo highly server intensive?
>"The best efficiency demonstrated in a magnetohydrodynamic drive to date was 1992 on the Yamato-1, a 30-m (100-ft) vessel that achieved 6.6 knots with an efficiency of around 30% using a magnetic field strength of approximately 4 Tesla," said Susan Swithenbank, PUMP program manager in DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office. “In the last couple years, the commercial fusion industry has made advances in Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) magnets that have demonstrated large-scale magnetic fields as high as 20 Tesla that could potentially yield 90% efficiency in a magnetohydrodynamic drive, which is worth pursuing. Now that the glass ceiling in high magnetic field generation has been broken, PUMP aims to achieve a breakthrough to solve the electrode materials challenge."

90% efficiency now vs 30% then.

How do they prevent magnetic detection of the submarine? Magnetometers are used to search for submarines. 20 Tesla field is next level.

> It already is cached by the docker image.
The problem why it's SO MANY requests is because hundreds of people have forked this repository, and now at the same time (due to the workflow cron) start an image build.
99% of the days, it'll just use the cached image and not cause any network requests whatsoever.

> If it builds new images, it'll be at max 10 requests to fetch the latest snapshot in parallel from my end (that's how many parallel jobs Github allows for free), which shouldn't be an issue.
I've already switched GMP back to use an outdated release tarball because of how annoyingly flakey their mercurial server is.

Straight from the repo author. Looking at the workflow, not sure how it could really fetch less than it already does.
