The difficulty, I think, is folks thinking that .2 would be as small of a value as 2? That is, showing the bias in how it goes for the exponent increases is the point. 1e2 is easy for folks to intuit with decimal. As soon as that exponent is to a 2, things get odder. (In particular, I wouldn't be shocked for most peoples intuition that 8 is represented using 100e0 in floats, when I would expect it is 1e11. Right?)

Edit: I should say that I realize this isn't the actual exponent bias. I do think this is what would trip up most people, though?
are they trying to the feed the flat earthers?
Most of the code they ship isn't written by them, whatever metric you choose.

Tall vehicles are not at fault for causing pedestrian accidents, but they make it more likely that a pedestrian accident results in a death.
I was able to get this working on mobile Safari (iOS 16.5) and it worked just fine.
Just as an anecdote: about two years ago I had a discussion about marshalling data structures into XML and indeed, two people managed to come up with three different schemes [0]. Of course that spells doom for something that's supposed to be used as a data-exchange format.

I suspect that retransmission with amplification only, without much processing, can be really fast. Modern electronics can routinely do sub-nanosecond latency.
I can't presume to say what anyone should be doing but I would expect some oil companies to be lining up, ready to get in there before the existing lines freeze up in the permafrost should the pumps stop.
VCs don't invest their own money. VCs are paid a percentage of the money they invest in startups. As a result VCs only care about the quality of the investment they make insofar it helps them raise more money in the future. Because more money = more fees.

VCs care about technology sometimes, but not always. If a startup doesn't grow because their tech is bad that's something VCs care a lot about. If a startup grows fast with snake oil tech (e.g. crypto, theranos, wework) VCs will happily throw more money at them.

As far as being an attractive employer they pay really well. Not sure about other dimensions. This is anecdotal but a couple of people in my network had bad things to say about the work life balance and culture there.
Frankly, this sucks. We pay less for gas than surrounding states, but don’t have to get out of our cars to pump gas. That is awesome in the winter. And less anyone say I don’t know how to pump my own gas, I grew up outside of Oregon, so I know very well how to do it, I just don’t want to do it anymore.
Fine Tuning Falcon 7B to be a ChatBot
I made several bitmap non-monospace font with an online tool, I'm quite happy with them.

I use them in a few places, nothing more, and it's a bit difficult to make a good looking bitmap font, but it's an important part of having software that use simple things.
As someone who has been driving FSDbeta. for the last 2 years or so, I can tell you there are a lot of spots that the car can't navigate without intervention.

I can also tell you that number is decreasing over time. In fact just yesterday for the first time in two years the car successfully made the left turn at the 6th and 20th Queensborough bridge onramp in Vancouver. High fives all around.

FSD has recently overcome a local maximum in performance and is enjoying rapid progress for the last few months after almost a year of minimal gains. It seems like the devs have already seen the next crest in development because version 12 appears to be another top to bottom rewrite of the NN architecture according to this recent talk. https://youtu.be/OKDRsVXv49A

I'm not surprised in the least that it blew the stop sign, but I would be very surprised if this error persisted over time.
How many times are you going to copy and paste the same comment in replay to different parents? I see you do that a lot, and it doesn't seem productive.

Yes, there are some parents for whom the issue of "the existence of gay people" is very concerning.
I think if nim supported rust as a backend, with usable support for crates, that would be a new killer feature.
So you tried to run your app on it and ran into trouble, and you conclude that Fedora is an unstable hunk of shit?

Also, this attitude that Fedora is just a tester for a commercial product is absurd. I suppose this is the same logic that makes CentOS Stream just a "beta" of RHEL (but strangely, these same people don't consider RHEL a "beta" for old CentOS even though consistency would demand this).

Anecdotally, I've used a lot of distros over many years, and Fedora has been by far the most stable and "just works" of any of them. There were a couple of rough years with the Nvidia driver, but I blame Nvidia for that.
It's either inaccurate or trivial depending on how you interpret it:

- If you only allow the base to be an integer, then it's inaccurate.

- If you allow the base to be a real number, then you're really just saying "every factorial is a positive number", which is a trivial fact if you know what a factorial is.

Either way it's a bad title IMO.
> I've had accounts banned from this site for less.

Unless you're dang under an alias, I think getting accounts banned from this site is rather beyond your power. And you sure don't sound like dang.

In fact, you sound much more like the kind of person who gets banned than FrustratedMonky does. HN doesn't usually ban for bad arguments; it does ban for hostility to other users.

Note that this has nothing to do with whether you or FrustratedMonky are right. It only has to do with who gets banned, and why.
Some things are just plain cheap to make, like various small electronic gadgets/adaptors/components for example. You can buy the chinesium for cheap on aliexpress or you can buy the chinesium for more on Amazon.
I used to fill up in Camden on my way back from New York into Philadelphia, and never with my usual credit card - I had one specific for gas and automotive costs (which got me free Amtrak rides, basically), and about a decade ago, that card was regularly cloned by New Jersey gas station attendants. It never really affected me, I'd get a new card in the mail in short notice, but I was always struck by how they'd just go to Wal Mart or a convenience store, and never actually blow that much.
Easy: drop the public commentary portion of development. Random old people with nothing to do all day shouldn't be allowed to delay a project by months because they want to complain about the orientation of a window on a project. If you don't own the land, weren't democratically elected, and aren't funding the property you shouldn't get a say in local land use. Ridiculous that we've even set up these systems.
The whole high rise situation in almost every U.S. city you described (i.e. small central cluster of high-rises) is more a result of insane zoning policies, not traffic safety. High density and peace and quiet really aren’t mutually exclusive, although admittedly 99% of towns and suburbs in the U.S. fail to build such places, largely, in fact, because of traffic engineering.

For example, I lived in a town of around 100k in the Netherlands called Delft for a while - high density, walkable, and far quieter than the two suburbs I lived in the United States.

Not saying the situation will ever change here. But it is possible.
At this point, I'm not sure how to avoid it.
Agreed, from historical context it definitely seems like the intention was confirming for developers that tipping is a valid use case for IAP and not creating an exemption, but I can see why a motivated party would read it differently, and it is made even more confusing by the App Store review notice seemingly acknowledging that some tips are exempt.
They short-circuited a whole raft of metabolic pathway filters and upped the concentration considerably so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet. That said, it's interesting research and the result of single prions making it past that filters is what got us BSE so researching this sort of thing is important.
I was computer science major and a DELL Phone Tech support evening shift guy in Austin back in the day when Intel's Pentium V arrived in the market with a with Floating Point Error: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug The lines got busy with people asking to return the brand new DELLs. Old ladies pulled the excel spreadsheets and start copying paste values to test for the floating point error. Then they will call me to return their system. After a few days explaining that unless they are planning to plot a orbit into Jupiter the PC was fine they all insisted to return the PCs. We ended with a lot of refurbished PCs. 6 nines anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_nines_in_pi

Huh, I got out empathied today, here. I think that's a useful take and does make me reconsider my gut reaction. Hm. Thanks for the thought and elaboration.

Hmm, lots of power dynamics and angles, especially given this all happening under the auspice of the state building their war machine.

A lot of programs already implement the XDG Base Directory Specification[1], putting the configuration in the .config directory. These programs should just follow the ALREADY EXISTING specification.

I don't expect something like that to form anywhere aside from very remote villages where people tend to stay for most of their lives. In a modern city interactions are probably too fleeting, people change location too often. Strong relationships need time to form.

So people leave and only the closest family members and friends remain in contact. Even with Facebook. I believe this is a main driver for why you generally don't see large families in the western sphere anymore.

Houston might not have something specifically called a "zoning code" but it has plenty of the sorts of regulations that lead to sprawl.

I have the same thing, I tried to disable all functions of my Pixel 4 that would do that.

It amazes me that the simplest thing is not done here: if proximity sensor senses your screen is covered - do not enable the screen ever.

When I'm jogging my phone sometimes sends texts, runs apps etc, same when I have phone in my pocket.

Why don't they use proximity sensor?
I really like the ADF fonts. My go-to are Gillius ADF, Tribun ADF Std. I also often use Bergamo and Arimo. Before this I used kpfonts.
All of those systems have buttons. The DS etc touch screen is different because you (often) use a stylus and there's less of the effect where your finger obscures the thing you're pointing at.

The Xperia Play would probably be ok for gaming, although I didn't own one. I think the N-Gage was too much of a compromise, but I didn't own one of those either.
I just purchased a 2018 F-150 and was concerned about being able to drive it safely after reading threads like these. Surprisingly, I can be much more aware of my surroundings and have fewer blind spots in the truck than my CR-V. Even directly in front of the tall hood I can see fine.

There are a lot of valid criticisms of big trucks but most of the discussion around them is pretty ignorant.
And so ends my joke that Oregonians are so stupid they legally can't be trusted to pump their own gas. Now only New Jersey stands as the dumbest state in the Union ;)
I have written a lot of Objective C. I don't use it much anymore, except to maintain some existing applications. That said, I still believe my time with it was much more ergonomic for my applications than Swift -- particularly its ability to act as a system language -- given it is a strict superset of C. Further, with the introduction of Swift I chose to change career direction, perhaps somewhat literally because of my dislike of the new language. I chose to go deeper into dynamic languages and now use Clojure, and to a much lesser extent, Python, professionally.

This is certainly true. The number of red light runners in the Bay Area has skyrocketed, but not only that, the number of people driving fast and running red lights has gone way up, too. It feels like chaos out there.
The efficacy of speed cameras depends on the socioeconomics of the area.

The "car culture" lunatic drivers I've met in the Baltimore / DC area just make a hobby of fighting tickets. They have lawyers they regularly work with and somehow always make it out with their license intact.
There's also the fact that if you get hit by the high moving wall called a pick-up or SUV, the person goes under the vehicle which is called a "frontover" (opposite of a backover for when a car backs over a person, often a kid).

I'm not sure what it's called when you have a curved, low car hit someone and they go over the hood, but it's somewhate safer, especially at lower speeds. Speaking of which, designing streets so cars go 20 MPH makes collisions much safer compared to 30 MPH (or 40 MPH) which is highly fatal. https://www.tigard-or.gov/your-government/departments/commun...

Keep in mind that signs alone won't slow down cars.
The article says the law mandates each station must still staff half its pumps.

So obviously this means full service isn’t going away (it’s still legally required), but if it’s very popular, there might be a line for the full service pumps. Personally, I doubt it.

Not sure how the writer drew such a clearly wrong conclusion.

Edit: text from the bill

You've somehow come to the right conclusion despite misreading the sentence. Yes, obviously, it's my accounts that got banned. For saying things way more mild than "can't think in hypotheticals".
Too many people push back against cameras with arguments like "how do they know who was driving at the time?!"

I don't care. The car has a registered owner. The registered owner needs to be responsible for the actions of whoever they delegate access to the car. Start sending tickets, send that information to the insurance companies, let their rates skyrocket.

Be responsible for your shit!
Who cares? Every country has skillful, qualified information technology individuals. Additionally, a quick google search shows it looks like RH does offer US only support if a customer is willing to pay.

It also circumvents the biggest problem with fiber, politics. Starlink doesn’t need permission to run a backbone across (or rather over) a country. This will be revolutionary for people in Africa, South America, and huge swaths of Asia/Australia where a few telecom monopolies have artificially jacked the price of transit.
I used this gasoline stove when I drove Alaska-Argentina, around Africa and around Australia [1] - Gasoline is everywhere, other sources are not.

Plenty of countries also has their own propane bottle fittings, so getting a bottle filled from what ever country you bought it in while touring can be a nightmare. I've met people who carry a bag with 15 adapters, and I still watched propane flow out onto the ground in Argentina after visiting 6 stations with them.

But third party accessories are an essential part of any project these days, they aren't optional or afterthoughts. In that page they mention docker-compose.yml as once example. Most likely it's impossible (in its current state) to actually run that application without Docker.

Other things that would land in the folder:

- Files essential to building the project
- Files essential to running the test suite
- Files essential to developing on the project

IMO a "project" includes all those things. In your definition are those all "meta"? Does "meta" mean anything that's not source code?
you don't owe the information you are not required to keep IF you have deleted it.

> Bicycles are not vehicles to many people

Those people are wrong. It's as simple as that. In the eyes of the law bikes are vehicles nearly everywhere. It's settled and not up for debate or discussion.

I believe the entire point of the exercise is to demonstrate people will argue that the sky isn't blue.
It would be relevant for transmitting information from different exchanges (NYC ⇔ London ⇔ Tokyo... etc), not going from the trading firm's systems to the exchanges. At a high level, the firms would be making money by helping markets on different continents synchronize faster.
Not entirely the case. Pump and dump schemes where seed stage investors sell to unassuming retail buyers in an IPO might be "companies going under", but if the free market rewards the creators of those schemes in premarket valuation etc, that behavior will proliferate instead of decline as society advances without putting them in check.

It is unrealistic to expect this lifestyle in the long term. The era of the car will come to an end, likely in the next few decades. The personal car is a profligate use of materials and energy. We can afford them at the moment only thanks to market distortion and a massive one shot energy surfeit. When the real costs are priced in, very few people will be willing or able to pay. Had the real costs been priced in from the beginning, we might not have designed an entire way of life around them.

Your cookie cutter neighborhood (mine too) depends on circumstances which are unlikely to last. I say this with the utmost respect, and as an SUV owner!
We got our first electric car four years ago and it's been great. It's actually my preferred road trip car (Model 3 LR) these days. Even the Bolt my wife drove for a few years was mostly just fine, as long as we were staying within Oregon & Washington.

I haven't been to a gas station in months, and maybe longer than a year. And IIRC that wasn't even to get gasoline, just to refill a propane tank. We have one remaining ICE vehicle (a pickup, which tows our travel trailer) and my wife takes care of that when she goes to Costco. Even then, it only gets driven a thousand miles a year or so, so she doesn't have to do it too often. Plugging in at home and starting every day with a full battery is really nice.
By May 2024 every iPhone in EU will be allowed to install alternative app stores legally.

I wrote an openGL font renderer once. It was a lot of fun. Bezier curves are such an elegant technique. The difference between what I wrote and what you'd use in a proper environment is pretty big, but I recommend it sometime.

Fonts are pretty much just third or fourth degree beziers, plus a way to shade between the lines iirc (i may have my terminology wrong). Try it out sometime, I did my curves using tessellation shaders.

Btw, you'll never find a better guide on beziers than here:

Was driving through Oregon and had no idea about self service.

Pulled up. Put my card in, had pump in hand when this crazy person came running up and tried to take away the pump.

Much confusion for both us as I figured it was some homeless person trying to get money for a pointless job.
