When you say train dispatching and control panels, I think you've illustrated how confused this whole discussion is. There should be a separate term called "operator interface" that is separate from "user interface" because UIs have never had any locus of control, because they're for users, and operators are the ones in control. Requesting that an LLM do something is like pressing the button to close the doors of an elevator. Do you feel in charge?
It’s pretty bad, but when the door accessible from the inside implodes from the insane pressure of the water around it, that’s even worse.
Yes, that sounds a lot better.

"Pogue also shows the vessel uses construction pipes as ballast."

I'm having trouble finding the interview video, but dropping ballast involves the crew and passengers rocking the vessel to drop the pipes off the side.
That's correct, there is no escape analysis or anything like it. Though there is a way to handle the "I want to return a resource" case: the DisposableStack class. You can call `stack.move()` to "move" ownership of a resource (and rely on the place you're passing it to to do cleanup). E.g.

using stack = new DisposableStack();
stack.use(resource());
if (condition) {
// the resources will _not_ get disposed automatically by this return
// it's the caller's responsibility to call `stack.dispose()`
return stack.move();
}
Fair enough, and you're likely right that 23 is a bit too early. I'm writing this from a perspective of being 35, with a 4 year old and an almost-2 year old. It's fine now, and I too feel OK in terms of energy levels - but I also fear that, by the time the kids grow up enough for my wife and I to regain some degree of autonomy, neither of us will be strong enough to make good use of it. But maybe it's just me panicking a little.
No, I'm just mentioning these things to show that the decision is more complex than a "4U server" vs "S3." S3/AWS gives you a ton of stuff you'd have to implement yourself. Plus you need to hire more people to manage it.

Ask HN: Is something broken with the commenting system?
There are 11 frontpage submissions at the moment with single digit comments? Some of these submissions have been on the site for several hours? This seems unusual. Also a lot of other submissons have less than the expected amount of comments for frontpage submissions.
Here is the v1 of the shortcut:

If I have more time, I'll try to find a way to extract the URL from the HN page.
I started an account on SDF's Lemmy instance today. Got a 3 letter name and I trust them to keep it alive for the long haul :) I haven't missed Reddit all day. The only reason I went there was to see if any subs I frequent had an official announcement of moving. Finding niche communities is pretty simple and they're mostly healthy. It was a tad confusing at first but, once I picked an instance to join, it only took a few minutes to figure out how to navigate it. My biggest hurtle was not knowing about the "All" button at the top, they should do more to emphasize that. IMO it should be the default.

This is great info! Can you please point me to any write up that explains this in more details?
I would prefer to be left there.
Whilst it doesn't happen very often it never ceases to amaze me that some of those old radios will still work after being switched off for about half century.

I've switched them on expecting fireworks—the plates in the 5Y3G/T or 80 rectifiers glowing red hot because the electrolytic caps had shorted to deck—but no they actually still worked.

What's more I've even had some of those ancient wet electrolytic caps (the 1930s-style 8μF/400V types in vertical cans mounted on the chassis) actually work.

Mind you, I certainly don't recommend you do that—do as I say not as I do (I'm rather gung ho about such matters and rather enjoy the fireworks). Be warned, you can not only blow up the rectifiers but also the power transformer and that'll likely be much harder to replace than the tubes.

I recall several years back being so shocked that some of those old wet electros still worked that I pulled the top seals off several and stuck my multimeter in the electrolyte and noticed that essentially there was no voltage between the electrolyte and the case. I even stuck my finger on the Al foil and could feel very little until I pushed hard and then suddenly whammo—ouch. A fascinating exercise, it's an excellent illustration of how good aluminum oxide is as an insulator and dielectric.

Please don't try this unless you are as mad as I am—and even then don't do it!
Everyone has moved over to reddit to post sexy pictures of John Oliver.
Yea, we lost a lot when journalists stopped believing in truth above all else. Now ideology is first and truth only matters when it's convenient.
> how many of those people over 30 still desire children but tried and failed, and then tried IVF and failed (or couldn't afford it), and/or tried adoption but couldn't afford it or failed

You're also missing some big ones:

- people over 30 who have overly busy work schedules that prevent them from dating even though they want a partner and possibly kids

- people over 30 who really want a romantic partner but can't find anyone who likes them, or lack the skills to engage in a healthy romantic relationship

- people over 30 who for career reasons are stuck in a place that likely does not have any compatible partners within reasonable distance

- people over 30 who want kids but aren't financially ready and voluntarily not having kids until/unless ready (but would if they suddenly make bank at 35).
I certainly wasn't suggesting it would make sense to rewrite Postgres to run on .NET (using any language, even managed C++, assuming anyone still uses that).
Yes, it's inherent in the C/C++ language that it's able to randomly access any memory that a process has access to, and obviously on that basis OS-provided process-separation is the "best" protection you can get, just pointing out that it's not the only possibility.
My point was that if you take the article at face-value and believe that the journalist did her due diligence and that the man in the article was telling the truth, then you can _presume_ (not assume) that the woman had fertility issues so her age wouldn’t matter regardless.

Also, you must have missed the paragraph in my last comment where I acknowledged it does make sense to be skeptical when reading articles like this, which is what you’re doing in recognizing that people make assumptions and then those assumptions pervade culture, media, etc etc.

Yes, I get that men have fertility issues too. Yes, there’s been a history of women being blamed for fertility issues. Yes, the medical community used to do XYZ and still does ABC today when dealing with fertility issues, etc etc.

Yes, I know all of those things and I still have the same opinion. Nothing in those first 2 paragraphs of the article set off any BS alarms for me.

If you want to be one of those “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” or “anybody can write anything on Wikipedia” proselytizers, then that’s your prerogative. I’ve outgrown that and that seems to be where we disagree.

The main topic we address in the prototype is how to make math problems solution more integrated in the game mechanics. Typical games have a puzzle driving mechanics that look too much artificial. We, on our side, try to incorporate it in real time with more like Doctor Strange style. Let us know what do you think and if we managed to achieve it!
At heart it's simple enough, as I learned in sixth form accounting: you need something in your ledger to account for the difference between the asset value of your business and the price someone will pay to buy it from you.

Obviously the futher you get away from "my business is a factory that I own, my cash reserves, and a pile of materials that I can turn into product" and more into "my business is the smarts of a bunch of people who can leave with two weeks notice, a bunch of contracts that can be severed with 90 days notice, and an API that people love so much they don't want to go elsewhere" it gets very difficult to justify.
> What is the Bayesian prior on "After receiving the COVID vaccination, patient died when they were struck by lightning?"

Mathematically not difficult to deal with, which is why you intuitively know the answer already, because it's approximately the same way your brain works naturally. The chance of dying when you are struck by lightning is about 10%,[1] which completely overwhelms the chance of the vaccine coincidentally killing you at the same moment by several orders of magnitude; while you could use the this datapoint if you want, Bayesian analysis will still confirm that it has approximately zero evidence supporting (or refuting) that the vaccine causes death, so Bayes' theorem effectively drops that patient out of the analysis. Which is the same thing you'd probably have done intuitively, unless some kind of formal controlled-test study rule prevented you from doing what would normally be the correct procedure. (Or worse, forced you to subject an unvaccinated control-group patient to a lightning strike, just to maintain control...?)

But, since your patient died from the lightning strike rather than surviving it, there is a small signal present that points towards "the vaccine increased the chance of the lightning strike being fatal", which is a postulate that deserves a high initial skepticism until someone can propose a mechanism. But if you notice that multiple people die from lightning strikes after getting vaccinated, such that their lightning-strike survival rate is below the unvaccinated population's, you can start to update on that, and if it keeps happening, it becomes worth your time to investigate a potential mechanistic explanation. Like, the vaccination causing people to be less sweaty somehow.

Yes. Investor in Apple, rather than 'third co-founder' as the title is complete clickbait.
the same reliability at what scale?
this is a major difference. S3 has amazing reliability but is a incredible complex system with many moving parts, which incurs cost in terms of reliability.
The simpler the system, the more reliable it usually is.
Most bussiness do not operate at even remotely the same scale as amazon, and running a small scale cluster of S3 like functionality wouldn't be that hard.
Assuming the same number of users, I don't see why it would be any slower than Reddit. That's not a problem of forums but of the number of users.

My biggest complaint with forums is the lack of reply indentation.
Here "in practice" actually means "in sheets." If you have a flat sheet of concrete / carbon fiber composite supported at both ends, and then you apply a downward force in the middle, the top of the sheet will be in compression while the bottom of the sheet will be under tension.

In a negative pressure vessel that's a cylindrical shell, all of the force is being applied uniformly inward from the outside surface of the cylinder, so every part of every fiber will be in compression. There's no part of the structure that outside pressure would deform in a direction that would stretch the fibers -- you would need to have greater pressure on the inside for that to happen, and in that case, the fibers would again all be in tension.

One failure mode to consider is shear failure (i.e. if the changes in circumference due to compression on the outside vs. the inside of the hull are too different, resin between layers could start to fail.

The other would be micro-buckling of tiny sections of fiber in areas where the resin has already failed, or isn't as strong, or in layup defects.

If either of these cause enough deviation from the nominal structure shape to allow buckling to start, the hull will fail catastrophically.

> Also, think of the bill of a toucan or fiberglass surf board. A lot of rigidity comes from the tensile strength of the skin wrapped around an enclosed volume of relatively weak stuff that mostly keeps the skin in the right configuration.

It is like this, but as another comment [1] pointed out, in the case of a negative pressure vessel, the configuration is unstable -- If you develop just one defect, the entire thing implodes. You might be able to buy yourself a little more headroom with something like pre-stressed / post-tensioned concrete (not sure if there's a practical equivalent for carbon composites), but this is a pretty extreme negative pressure vessel...

This is how I made my fork of libtcc lock-free.

Mainline has a lock so that all backends can use global variables, but only one instance can do codegen at a time.

It was a giant refactoring Especially fun was when multiple compilation units used the same static variable name, but it all worked in the end.
Sad to say but you should take a look at the justice system in India.
Intuitively that is what I would expect too. But information on the subject is all over the place. Could you point to an established source on this subject or expand on how you have confirmed this information?

While i tend to agree, we usually have a feeling about differences in talent and productivity. Both in research and engineering. So it is not that bad performance intrinsically does not exists.
Alternatively, to give people maximum freedom, write public-domain software
To illustrate this: aluminium costs about $2.25 per kilo wholesale [0], so that's about 4c per kWh or $40 per MWh.

There aren't many places where electricity can be produced close to that. Iceland is one and it's unsurprisingly the world's major bauxite importer and aluminium exporter. Wholesale electricity there goes for around $42/MWh [1].

OK, the smelters can do a bit better than the average wholesale rate, but not much - Iceland's electricity supply is not highly variable like solar or wind.

So the rest of the expenses of the process - mining, shipping half way around the world twice, capital costs - are all basically free compared to the electricity cost.

You are 100% correct, but the sad reality is that doesn't make spam management or login security any easier for an admin.

Those concerns are so painful that people are willing to use a tool (Discord) completely unsuited for what they want simply to not deal with them.

A centralized system like Reddit or Discord can amortize both of those over gazillions of users.
The mythical "middle class on easy mode" of boomers isn't coming back, it should be considered a historical anomaly. A vacuum in time where post-WW2 all but the US was in ruins, giving it economic free reign for a few decades.

That being said, I admit it's not as simple as international competition only. Quite a few life supporting institutes (healthcare, education, housing) are downright dysfunctional for various other reasons.
the average programmer thinks they are writting significantly above average clean code, so no need to document it :-)
I'm just starting today but Top Day All seems most like r/all. I added it to my RSS reader and there's a lot of the same stories posted on both. I added new, hot and active to my reader to see how they update. Active seems usable. Hot is way too noisy.

It's been said many times that the local state budget girding RE development boom would eventually crash --that was a while ago. Still has not imploded systematically. Maybe this time will be different, as they tend to say.
I'm not in the US and around here exist things like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that is applicable through local laws.

However with Corona we'd observe local governments agressively violating articles 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 27, 28 and 29 of that convention. What bothers me is to see ignored so many basic human rights and basically apply medieval dogmas where "truth" cannot be questioned.
After seeing you label Unabomber a “sociopath” and corrupt politicians “psychopaths”, I believe an informed discussion is not to be expected.

Let's say you own a car yard. You have a chunk of land, a building, and some stock. Those might go on the books as simple assets of ten million bucks.

You decide to sell the business. You want to retire, you entertain offers. The winning offer is fifteen million dollars. The purchaser now has something they paid $15m for. The actual assets are only $10m. How you you account for that in double-ledger accounting? You put $5m down to goodwill.

That's the grossly simplified version. It's the difference between tangible, obvious assets (cash, property, stock, etc), and the intangibles that a buyer might pay a premium for.

At heart it's a reasonable enough convention. You can do all sorts of too-clever-for-our-own-good stuff with it but you know what, that's true of basically every accounting construct.
Throw a ridiculous amount of RAM at it is more correct assessment. NVMe reads are still an “I/O” and that is slow. And for at least 10 years buying enough RAM to have all off the interesting parts of OLTP psql database either in shared_buffers or in the OS-level buffer cache is completely feasible.

Wow, that sounds amazing. Growing up in Seattle, the skills we got drilled on were "backing around a corner" and "parallel parking". The latter of which is always appreciated wherever I go... the former is uniformly met with bafflement.

I agree with this in principle, BUT... be reasonable, and don't go in thinking you have to "show this guy" or communicate to the team what a hardass you are. There are, in my experience, always exceptions to pretty much any policy. If you say "all commits need the PR workflow" I'd posit that that really means "for actual application code that ultimately winds up released" and nothing more. If you now try to apply that policy to every random repo with some POC, demo, experiment, or throwaway code of some sort, you're just going to piss people off needlessly.

So work with the team to figure out what repos actually need this policy applied, don't just apply it blindly. Similar reasoning could be applied to most other things. Don't just go issuing wide-ranging edicts because you can, without understanding the actual downstream impact.
Is that saying global variables are shared between AppDomains on .NET core then? Scary if so, we have a bunch of .NET framework code we're looking at porting to .NET core in the near future, and I know it relies on AppDomain separation currently. It's not the first framework->Core conversation I've done, but I don't remember changes in AppDomain behaviour causing any issues the first time.

As it happens I already know there are bits of code currently not working "as expected" exactly because of AppDomain separation - i.e. attempting to use a shared-memory cache to improve performance and in one or two cases in an attempt to share state, and I got the impression whoever wrote that code didn't understand that there even were two AppDomains involved, and used various ugly hacks to "fall back" to alternative means of state-sharing, but in fact the fall-back is the only thing that actually ever works.
>But, as you mention, homes are priced insanely high

Homes in some areas are higher. Others they have increased with inflation and are more affordable due to lower interest rates.

The "life is so hard these days" crowd is living in a bubble. They live in a coastal city and have debt from their expensive school that they may be struggling to pay back. [Not coincidentally this describes lots of the media].

Reality is that the majority of people don't go to college. And the majority of those that do graduate with reasonable debt into jobs that pay well enough to pay it off. Simply put, it's easier to live today than virtually any other time in American history.
When using singletons for DB connections in TS, I will generally have a singleton function that returns the resource. So getDatabaseConnection will return a databaseConnection.

It’s pretty simple, but it has solved the testing problem for me because within that getResource function I can check if the environment being ran in is a test environment. If so, return a mocked instance. If not, return the real instance.

It’s pretty rudimentary, but it’s solved our issues.
To my understanding, the grid is managed to have a fixed number of cycles per day, which would make it perfectly accurate. A cheap crystal can easily lose a few seconds per day. And given how hard it is to keep 60 Hz noise out of circuits, I can’t imagine the sensing would be difficult.
Good point. I tried asking ChatGPT to write the numbers from 1 to 10 in 1 sec intervals and it couldn't.
