Yeah sure let's move to the South Bay and live in the 12th circle of Hell, a.k.a., the worst abomination of city planning known to North America. San Jose used to be a city on the upswing but after the riots and COVID it has the feeling of a shell of a city that is being kept alive by the nice infrastructure they built there a short while ago. Sunnyvale is peak suburbia -- endless tracts of suburban homes and strip malls with not a single good piece of public transit infrastructure to speak of (VTA has terrible station planning and trains from CalTrain comes every few millennia). Cupertino is basically a walled community where only people with incomes of over $500k gain access. Milpitas is a city that essentially doesn't exist, not even the people who I know live there admit its existence. Los Altos is like Cupertino but everyone has a Stanford education and is a next-level evolved NIMBY, and Los Gatos is kinda like that but with more wine and pretentiousness. Saratoga and Campbell are so deep inside the suburban critical mass that it takes ~30 minutes to drive to anything of note, and you'll be blasting your AC while you do so because the coastal fog burns off very quickly in those parts. Outside of the aforementioned tech conferences there aren't many things to do in the Bay Area -- people who live there have been drawn in by either the good schools or jobs.

... all that being said, I have lived in the Bay Area for a long time and do not intend to leave anytime soon. There aren't many other places in the world that can be called hubs of biotech, software and semiconductors all at the same time. Many parts of the South Bay are S-tier in terms of safety while maintaining the same price point as SF, so if you prioritize safety over having a life outside the confines of your computer terminal you return to after your 8-6 job, then the South Bay is actually pretty good. If you want to be able to hit the beach after a night of raving and clubbing preceded by 5-star dining and zuck-surfing on the Bay, while being willfully ignorant about the constant risk of a homeless man jumping out of the bushes at you, then SF is your best bet.
>They still use fax and telegrams quite a lot

Telegrams? Is this some kind of joke? I've never seen anything resembling a telegram here.

Faxes are still used between businesses, which is much the same as the US where they're ubiquitous in the real estate and legal industries.
> Realistically how long would it take to modernize the software while keeping the old hardware?

What value would that provide (than make-work for a couple of software engineers)?

Probably the most bang-for-the-buck effort would be get their existing software running on an emulator, and get that integrated with the hole-punch machine. An even then, I think the main value there would be to have a backup in hand if they have trouble maintaining that old computer hardware.
Tape cassettes, as it happens, are actually hip again. They make cassette players now for a modern tech stack, with bluetooth etc. Bandcamp is full of artists selling tape, and sales of audio cassette tapes have been up year-on-year every year lately. More and more manufacturers are starting to spin up production again [1]

Was coming here to say the same; I don’t think I’ve ever come to the Apple Store to buy something; always order it online through their app or website and choose store pick up. You schedule a time, stop in, verify ID, and are out within a few minutes.
In case the author happens to see this thread – there seems to be a missing less-than sign:

str::from_utf8( as Deref>::deref(&self.0))

Thanks for the article! ^_^
The main "value" in the domain of sorting problems is the number of elements in your collection.

A subproblem also considers the elements to be integers, then they become another "value" domain. (But in general, sorting problems only need their elements to be comparable, not necessarily integers.)

I am using Copilot daily for writing tests and generating dummy data to test my functions on. It is great for such tasks.

I also had to write a bunch of HTML few months ago, and I did it with Copilot. It was very smooth experience.

I use Photoroom android app to remove backgrounds in images and to add new ones, add motion blurs and so on. It works great.
Thanks. I guess what I'm wondering is whether the maximum-mode signals (S0, S1, etc) are somehow more fundamental to the 8086's operation, with the minimum-mode signals (WR, INTA, ALE etc) being derived from them solely for the benefit of people without an 8288?

Put another way, if you could, recursively, delete all the gates in the 8086 which only exist to drive minimum-mode pins, would any remnant of the minimum-mode signals remain for other internal uses?
For resting, you can build on your first idea: the random error increases with uninterrupted play time, and resting quickly lowers it.
It's been years (still connected with a few) but working for multiple Norden companies and living in Finland for a time. I found technical discussions and connections initiated there were generally quite genuine and consider a few Finns and Swedes friends and we take semiregularly.

Born and raised in the Bay Area, for honest and useful tech discussions, especially early in career, maker spaces, super happy dev house, and some other events (I won't mention since I'm not sure they still go on) were better than YC meetups, etc. in terms of what you mention - honesty, etc.
Nice thing is you’ll get to interview with almost every employee if it’s small enough. Should be easy to sus out whether it’s one of the good or bad places.
> Yes you can, because they're all small effects,

"A doubling of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in maternal serum was associated with a 39% (p < 0.001) reduction in diphtheria antibody concentration in children (age 5 yr), with increased odds of falling below clinically protective values against diphtheria and tetanus at age 7 yr."

> A study of heavily exposed workers (n = 462, geometric mean serum PFOA of 4048 ng/mL) detected significantly increased incident mortality for cirrhosis (relative risk = 3.87, 95% CI 1.18–12.7) and liver cancer (relative risk = 6.69, 95% CI 1.71–26.2)

These are NOT small effects. These are strong p-values with large hazard ratios over and over again throughout the entire review.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a good one on punctuation. Dreyer’s English is a good recent one. Woe Is I is a classic. There are a lot of style guides and fun little books about grammar and editing. My partner is a editor at a publishing house so she guides me a lot on things like this. I’m not sure it can be automated, but the best things I can say I’ve learned about writing are: don’t do anything obviously wrong (grammatically, syntactically, factually), be concise/specific, and keep your purpose/relationship to the reader at the front of your mind.
I don't see how you read that from behnamoh's comment. The 'request' or rather confusion was that the only way to do Lisp, historically and now, is with proprietary stuff like Genera or more modernly LispWorks, so what's there to do if someone wants to get into it now. On the contrary, I pointed out if anyone wants to get into Lisp now, in 2023, there is also amazing free tooling that's very capable just like many other languages for building and doing the sorts of things people typically want to do in 2023. The only other part of the comment I didn't address was just my agreement that proprietary emphasis did hurt Lisp adoption, though not getting Quicklisp until as late as 2010 hurt it more. (But maybe you could argue that was an extension of proprietary focus.) Things don't seem so gloomy now these last several years at least.

This just reads to me what a philosophy-influencer-blogger would write. Makes sense that a machine trained to extrapolate texts written by humans, will relay its existence as a human would.

It’s a joke about the upside down interpretation of law in either of the systems. In Soviet Russia, you sent your underlings to the gulag. In America, you just pay a fine. Neither of which is proper justice.
While most of the time load and store instructions are enough, all RISC ISAs were forced to add eventually a few atomic read-modify-write instructions, otherwise the programs for systems with a large number of cores become too inefficient.

The most important atomic read-modify-write instruction is fetch-and-add, the next in importance are fetch-and-or, fetch-and-and and fetch-and-xor, and then the next in importance are fetch-and-max and fetch-and-min (signed and unsigned).

Aarch64 has all of them since Armv8.1-A (since Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A75), while RISC-V also has all of them in one of the extensions (AMO).

I quite honestly don't understand why. Even if its sound quality was subpar to modern media, vinyl at least had a distinct advantage with its XL-sized cover art that made it easier to display the albums that you loved.
> Radar clearly misses 90% of the shadows cast because it does not include vegetation. Radar only reflects off the ground, making objects such as trees and buildings invisible.

This doesn’t sound right to me. Certainly radar can, at certain bands, see through foliage (so-called FOPEN). I don’t have familiarity with radar seeing through buildings at the sorts of ranges and coverage rates that you’d want to use for ground mapping.

The article references the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which should use C- and/or X-Band radars — both should see returns from foliage and buildings.

Without digging more into it, my thoughts about the reason behind absence of foliage and building shadows in the radar data are potentially: 1) resolution of the radar data is too low (tens of meters or more), 2) maybe post-processing of multiple radar passes with different geometries to get rid of them, 3) steep grazing angles from the radar not generating much shadow to begin with.
Some 8xx series are well supported, but mostly 835 and 845. QC does release better quality sources for mainlining AFAIK, but I haven't seen any efforts related to newer chips land.

This is why self-deprecating humour can be dangerous. Some people won't get it and will just think you're an idiot.
You might find this video interesting: Why there will never ever be another show like Monday Night Raw [0].

I have no knowledge of wrestling except for vague cultural osmosis, but I found this video makes a very compelling case that it is a modern form of live theater, and regardless of its low-brow connotations should be understood and respected as such. Essentially: WWE is modern day Shakespeare, not a sport.

>but that means every post is going to be seen by your mother

This is solved by people just make another profile to keep it separate. It is okay not to add your mother on your hobby account.

>These are two different communities that most certainly cannot be welded into a single forum.

But sites like Facebook are not just a single forum. Each group can be it's own community. People can keep two discussions separate.

>You can't and shouldn't build a community that satisfies everybody.

I don't think this is impossible. It is hard to scale a community to billions of people, but large social media sites are an existence proof that it is possible. Though at that scale it is more of a meta community compared to smaller subcommunities that are made which are more comfortable for humans to interact with.

I don't think it's impossible to find a set of rules that a billion people would be willing to agree to.
Even more simply than that: if you need to unscrew a screw, using a hammer probably won't work well. Which is why that saying about a poor craftsman blaming his tools is BS: if you're given the wrong tool, you're not going to be able to do a good job.
I assumed the reason for this was simply about incentivizing people to book directly, while penalizing people who rent through an agency (such as Priceline), since those agencies generally offer lower to much lower rates to you, plus Hertz then has to pay a nice commission to the agency, further destroying their margin.

Reason for my assumption: you are unable to add your hertz account to a reservation done through a third party, meaning those people always are forced to wait in the lines and use the counter.
Perl is still a commonly used tool chain. It is far from being a “historic relic”.

I agree that there’s nothing wrong with composing UNIX tools. I mean, that was one of its key selling points. if you watch any early promo videos for UNIX you’ll see them talk heavily about the composability of the command line and shell scripting. It wasn’t an accident — it was designed that way.

The point of the conversation wasn’t to say that one shouldn’t write shell scripts, it was just to say that there was a massive and unfilled gulf between what was easy to do in Ksh, awk and sed, and what could be done in C.

When you buy a large, registered debt such as a mortgage the cost of Fedex'ing everyone should be factored into the sale. If that's too much money you shouldn't be buying such assets. Notifying those that are affected properly would seem to be the least you can do in such situations.
Why did you feel need to send 3 emails, and not just 1? Is it because you find emails not reliable enough?
Definitely. Turns out I have about two accidental flags a year.
There is some documentation about various things[1], but I'm not entirely sure what you mean about "how it all works together".

I think the analogy is to station people at various floors in a big office building while you disconnect (unmarked) cables in a legacy patch panel to see who starts screaming. Then you plug it back in and label the cable...
The best stack was wordpress.com but that's not sexy enough these days. I get it, my blog is hosted on Hashnode with a custom domain.

I should move back and just pay these dudes. https://lostinthegc.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/the-25-pc-comin...
I think I've hit the same kind of problem once. What I learned is that true smart pointers are types that (at least in Rust) aren't really supposed to have methods on their own, to avoid this type of ambiguity during method resolution.

For example, Box<T> implements Deref so that you can conveniently use T's methods. If you look at the documentation of Box, the things you can do with the Box itself, like Box::leak, are non-method functions. This means that you always have to qualify them, like Box::leak(my_box), and thus you can't get this type of conflict.

Using Deref for types like String or Vec doesn't really fall into this category. They implement something more analogous to an "is-a relationship" in OO. Even outside of those examples, I've seen people manually implement inheritance-like behavior, using Deref to delegate to a field that stores the "base class" instance.

If you do that, you're likely to have a name conflict between the two types sooner rather than later. That's fine as long as you're aware that Rust doesn't really do overload resolution -- AFAICT, the "outer" methods always wins regardless of the arguments at the call site.
I just discovered my favorite stack...

- I write everything in Notion, and "publish to web"
- Cloudflare Workers API pulls Notion data and does a bit of SWR, w/ a block
- Sveltekit on Vercel grabs the Notion data, serves the pages
- Everything's up as soon as I type it in Notion!

Pros:

- Free
- Low maintenance / just works
- Easy to write. I like to plop my thoughts down in short posts, rather than long bursts of well-written essays
- Renders almost all Notion blocks, so what I see is what I get

Cons:

- Slow, because Notion, but I'm fine with that

Probably won't work for most people who want blazingly fast pages, or perfect static sites. I can pull the data on build and completely serve it as static, but then I have to redeploy, which only takes a few seconds but still takes me out of the flow. It fits my needs.

Happy to share the code too if anyone cares!
Have you thought of marketing at cities
or public sector consultancies for modelling urban heat islands? Might be handy to prioritize climate adaptation measures.
Glad the author found a working solution they can stick with. I moved to hosted Ghost about a month ago and have been very happy with it. For me, traffic is super low so their lowest tier plan at $108/year works. It’s pricier than having a $5/mo Wordpress install on DigitalOcean but I never have to think about maintenance or some plug-in not working. My old Wordpress setup requires updating plugins and themes once a week or something.
Those might be "cheap" to tack onto an x86 core where there already is a ton of microcoding infrastructure, but on RISC-V that just won't the the case often. It could make sense to have an extension for it, but not really any reason to have it in base RISC-V.
Technically that shouldn't even be your problem.
> Telegrams? Is this some kind of joke? I've never seen anything resembling a telegram here.

They're used for special occasions, you can even get them printed on pretty paper and put in pretty envelopes.
Sure, but so do clouds. It's a trade off and with the US military as a customer for Starlink the deep space experts are unlikely to prevail.
> Do you have some specific examples of this playing out?

A large software company in Redmond, perhaps?
Even when the product you want is out on a shelf, it’s annoying that there’s no line to get in to pay for it. If you need help, you just have to chase someone down. The whole experience feels chaotic and contrarian.
Well that depends on the concentration and how much you're willing to pay me
...rewrite it in rust
If I understand that correctly, is that not a different thing? It sounds like that's a derivative (the rate of absorption/metabolism/etc.), rather than the concentration at which the chemical become harmful? Or is the concentration itself also included in the "kinetics"?
What did you choose over Influx?

Ooh. That looks like a Sharp MZ-80K. I spent a ton of time programming one of those and own a still working one. Lovely to see them in action.
Hi Paul, email is one-way communication and not guaranteed to be delivered. At a minimum you should have monitored who did and did not respond to the email with some kind of action and those that did not should have more effort expended to be able to reach them. Finally, you should have kept the data for a reasonable amount of time (say 90 days) post shut-down so users that did not get the notification could download it. What you've done is super rude and if I were still a customer in an unaffected region it would definitely be reason enough to leave because it's pointless to sit and wait to see how you'll deal with my data when the time comes. Better to preempt that and leave while I still have control.
There is a difference in knowledge that a fire department Vs a company producing the material have. First, it's a choice to include these in the product. Second, it's a choice whether to appropriately inform fire departments on how to handle such material. Third, an individual fire department cannot invent removal/capture methodologies, this is again something that would need to be offered by the producer.

I'm astonished how easily the narrative is shifted to blaming the little guy. Is a customer expected to re-verify the toxicity of the products they buy and set up their own recycling system?

Honestly hard to imagine the many comments here spreading doubt on the well-established dangers of pfas and arguing how innocent 3m is are disinterested comments.
I've seen many a 'pro' not only obsess about tools, but be borderline religiously fanatic about one to the point of not being able to function if they were forced to use an alternative.

Right, but per the article, Korf’s algorithm takes hours and Thistlethwaite’s algorithm doesn't necessarily find the optimal solution. I wonder if a self-learning AlphaZero approach could result in finding optimal solutions in seconds.

There is a possibility that the tinkering itself is the hobby.

Of course there is problem if these tinkerers ask everyone to value tinkering to the level that they do. But it's a perspective.
>>Why is it odd to expect it to be faster to ask someone else to do this process for you rather than you doing it yourself?

That's not really the issue here. It's more that it's odd to ask someone else to do this process for you and they tell you to make an appointment and come back.

A potential customer is telling an apple store employee "I want to exchange my money for your goods. I need you to do the exact same thing as a high school kid at a part time job, take my money and give me the phone. I just want you to act like a proper brick and mortar store for 2 minutes dammit."
To which the employee responds "I can't do that now be cause you don't have an appointment. When you come back withone, I'll be glad to take the 2 minutes that's needed to make that transaction."

The "insane" pat is that apple store employees, the purpose of which are ultimately to convince potential customers to give them money in exchange for apple stuff and facilitate the transfer of resources, are basically telling potential customers "I won't do my job where I take your money and give you apple stuff unless you have an appointment. You don't have one, no apple for you."
Good god, this response of yours sure is something: "it's been happening since a hundred years ago'', ''we dont know if there is any danger'', ''the evidence isnt 100% clear cut'', ''even if there is an impact it's less harmful than smoking'', ''why go after the producers of dangerous chemicals''. It's like i'm reading a reply from the PFAS lobby.
