I think if I was going to attempt to push cricket to a new audience I'd take The Hundred¹. Simpler to explain, predictable timings for media, added entertainment sparkle as part of the design format.

As a light cricket fan², I take this position because I've spoken to the moany old folk who complain about The Hundred because "it isn't cricket". I think that is the advantage of The Hundred, and only to a much lesser extent T20.

I'm of the opinion you can't sell red ball to new markets because it is awful… unless you grew up with it. And, The Hundred is as far from red ball as cricket can get.

Exactly. People are willing to pay for news if it’s sensibly priced. It’s not a charity. If it really costs thousands, then the model is broken and they should all be out of a job.

But let’s be honest, it doesn’t cost thousands.

You are describing traditional cricket, not T20.
They’re not really manufactured for Japanese highways either.

Though Japanese highways go marginally slower, 60mph is pushing the poor kei to it’s limits.

Lets just say I don’t enjoy sitting in a kei truck that’s attempting to do maximum speed.
Don't forget alcohol! Widely different regulations, sometimes county to county. Some states only allow liquor stores to sell spirits, some only allow hard alcohol sales on Sunday mornings, some counties allow no alcohol sales before noon on Sundays, other counties outright ban the sale of alcohol, others enable drive through liquor pickup, on and on.
Ah, yes. Hard to time the jumps over the slugs. It helps that the beast trips and falls just as it's about to catch you. After that, you get "saved by the bell", so to speak ;)

I believe jumping over those slugs is possibly the hardest part of the whole game, it must be timed precisely and you're still learning to how to play.

It's not a lion, by the way ;) It's an alien beast, without a mane and looks like a cross between a gorilla and some giant black panther.
I work in a private practice firm that’s been bought by private equity. There is truth to everyone’s comments here on both sides to some extent.

Young child - I have trained in mostly adults with some pediatric experience. Can I do a simple procedure on a teen? Probably. If something goes wrong I’m afraid I’ll be punished for not referring them to a pediatric center that specializes in these things. Of course if I’m at my main hospital where they do these often, I feel more comfortable doing pediatric procedures to an extent.

Mental health not really in scope of radiology

Obese back pain - I do a lot of procedures for these and certainly there are some surgeons that will operate on anything but I’d say 80-90% of spine surgeons will refer out to rule out every last cause before operating.

We are kind of incentivized to do procedures right now in American healthcare but I will say all my partners are cautious about just doing stuff.

The Golem is animated by the Hebrew inscription of the word 'emet' which means 'truth'. To retire the Golem, you remove the first letter (aleph) making the word 'met' – death.

Do our monstrous creations reveal an uncomfortable truth about ourselves? By confronting this truth, are we finally able to lay our demons (or daemons in the case of AI) to rest?
Worst of all, there’s no way to discover previously fixed solutions with a web search, all the help and effort are essentially obfuscated.

> Instead, the battle of submarine silence has mostly revolved around obscure technical problems of fluid dynamics, since one of the loudest noises made by submarines is the cavitation around the screw.

Cavitation is loud, but usually only happens if they're running full out. What they're really listening for now are reactor plant noises.

> I don't know if this is true today, but at least years ago the low-noise design of the screw on modern US submarines was classified, and so the screw was covered by a sheath whenever a submarine was out of the water.

Many US fast attack (Virginia, Seawolf) and the upcoming Columbia SSBN use some sort of external pump jet. I'm not sure if they cover those up out of water like they did with more 'traditional' screws.

Except it doesn't work like that. There is the expectation that you wake up and go and read all the messages in a Slack channel from when you stopped working yesterday until this morning.

And because it's Slack it's not organized in any way shape or form. You don't know what's important and what not.
So you are basically advocating for government funding it seems, is that correct?

Do you have any concerns about that?
Oh, I certainly will.

But I was kind of hoping for some indication that developments of that kind actually occurred; it would be the least surprising thing in the world to see a selection effect in the study of Linear B inscriptions whereby students who couldn't reconcile themselves with the idea that decipherment will happily assign a meaning to any text, even where the actual meaning of the text is known to be different, left the field, while students who didn't mind that stayed in. Over time a strong consensus in favor of the position "no, I didn't waste the last 30 years of my life" is exactly what you'd expect to see.

There are no professions in which the professional consensus is "actually, none of this works". But there are many in which that is the truth.

Nothing gets consumed, he just gets bored with his 5 year old bike and wants something that has all the latest new tech. He probably got a new 12-speed bike in the last year just because it's 1 more speed than the older 11-speed bikes from 5 years ago, for instance.

On the character encoding I think there are just people who care and people who don’t.

Looking at the playground, it appears the few shot examples in the prompt and CFG are duplicative. What is the relationship between the two?

I feel like this concept has been tried many times. The Light Phone is one example. It seems like a concept people find appealing, but in practice… almost no one wants to give up the features their phone already offers. It amounts to a technological regression, regardless of what the webpage says.

But, the thing that really got me to type a comment was seeing that this phone uses micro-USB. Why would anyone want that awful connector back in their life? USB-C is cheap and ubiquitous at this point.

My issue with these "they don't need to worry about security" issues is that this issue is at its core still an obvious bug. If your password generator puts a ; in your password your attempt to set it will break.

The understanding that initiative enlightenment is the fact that bravery is universally fungible across domains.

This eliminates the need to define the "correct" way of doing things as "the way everyone else does it", because you can acquire the bravery to accomplish your most important goals from any other domain. You can break the narrative.

The first step is just to have the bravery to start. That's where I'm stuck at fwiw. :/

Techniques described would apply to any application language.
The idea that “application” is an abstraction level doesn’t sit right with me. I think that slide is a bit of a stretch.

An application, as a mass of code, will contain code that works at different abstraction levels.
I don't have any performance issues with React Native[0], so as far as I'm aware the status quo is fine with regards to how well the hardware is optimized for the SDK. The specific SDK I'm referring to is JSCore, obviously everything on top of that is third-party.

[0] My main beef with React Native is the total lack of useful stack traces. Also, when running on a device, when you tap Debug before manually setting your dev machine's IP, the app is bricked and you have to delete and reinstall it.
I've honestly don't understand what you're saying. What are those returns different from?

We're talking about private Equity debt so I would think the 11% would be cash Returns on loans per year.

If you make 11% per year return on your lending portfolio over multiple decades, how is that not comparable to your stock market gains?

Sure, resell of loans might be harder, but they're paying cash interest.
Also, and with no implied criticism, the people involved set the bar higher to capture their mindshare. I know, because I failed the bar (amicably I might add)

Which meant they cared less about "winning" in some non-valuable game of "whose code is winning" and had less irritating conversations, "no thats not how it works, no I don't have to explain this idea called the plumber to you, yes rc is very different to other shells no thats not how it works"... ad infinitum.

Camneerg: The Mac Plus Web Server
I know how to use Discord. I admin a couple of servers. I know how to use its search and agree it's a pretty good search. I know how forum channels work.

I still think it's a bad substitute for both documentation or a web-searchable forum. I can't use a web search to find results on Discord. I have to log in to a Discord server and use Discord's search so it's a separate set of steps from the web search I initially did when I started trying to solve my problem.

Once I grudgingly jump through those hoops, if the server admins and users are actually using forum channels, I might find reasonably structured results, but they often aren't. When I have a technical issue with a software project, I would like proper docs, then a proper forum (Lemmy might be a good option as of summer 2023), in that order. Real-time chat, whether it's Discord, IRC, or Matrix is a distant third.

They could point at offensive content, thinks you are not suppose to know, illegal things, phishing websites, hackers and much more you are better of not knowing about.

> A Christian will tell you that this is how you ought to think too because all truth comes from the bible, which is why I call it objective meaning. There is a single source of truth.

This is a grossly uninformed misrepresentation. Some Protestants do espouse the idea of sola scriptura, however these groups are largely the minority of Christians. The Catholic Church, Orthodox Churches, and Anglicans/Episcopalians vastly outnumber the Lutherans, Pentecostals, Calvinists, and Baptists.

Catholic philosophy (Catholicism being the largest Christian group and approximately as large as all the other groups combined[0]) holds that faith and reason are the two pillars by which we can come to know truth. By faith is meant in general the knowledge received through revelation (e.g. the Bible). By reason is meant the workings of the intellectual processes, empirical evidence, and scientific knowledge.

Through the working together of faith and reason, we can come to know the fullness of the truth. The Bible is not the sole source of truth to Catholics. See also Fides et ratio by Pope St. John Paul II.

In my opinion LLM based document search tools such as OSS Quivr may be better suited for documentation search for startups.

CMake has a bit of a documentation problem, though. Firstly because the tool really was pretty bad at the start and the correct way to use it is the new way, but all the examples people run into in the wild are generally using it wrong, and this becomes self-perpetuating. The second issue is that the main documentation is actually really light on examples, it's just a fairly dry (and not always helpful) description of each part of it. I know there's some pretty good books but that isn't the kind of resource a lot of people are going to use when learning a tool, especially a tool they regard as secondary to their actual goal.

I just ran across this by accident (ironically?) whilst posting https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36753185.

I've written* tens of thousands of moderation comments over many years—you can find them here: https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=dang. As you can see, I've written a ton as a moderator to try to improve interactions on HN. The interesting thing is that even after all that, some users (who knows how many, but probably quite a few) have no idea. It's tempting to overinterpret that, but it's explicable by randomness alone. Even in a rainstorm, a few spots stay dry because no raindrop hits them.

In any case, please don't dish out snark, regardless of how badly other commenters are doing that or you feel they are. We eventually ban accounts that keep doing that! even if randomness gives them a long run beforehand.

>Octopuses are very much a water-only type of organism.

They're not though. Octopi generally don't like being out of water, but they're capable of traveling on land short distances and in fact the Abdopus Aculeatus octopus regularly goes on land by choice in order to hunt crabs in different tidepools.

This is not a 6-hour slow risposte; it's my 6 hour anti procrastinate filter I swear. Anyway, just like all animals of habit, I immediately I agreed with floor zero because I come from a place where the lowest floor is not floor 1 (unlike the US). However, I can see somebody saying floor is the height of the ceiling, so floor 1 = 10 feet; floor 0 (underground) 0 feet. One thing we can all agree is that the calendar, without a zero, it's pretty bad.
You've missed the point. The fact is, most of the US does support healthcare. That doesn't matter to the legislators. They have lobbyists convincing them to fight against any public option, they don't want to piss off their backers, or their club.

The reason US citizens are not more pissed off about being ignored, and shafted, is that the media don't bite the hand feeding them. They playact as if they do sometimes, but they know where their bread is buttered.

Media covers the worst abuses, but treats them like bad luck stories (no matter how obviously 'orphan crushing machine') rather than anything systemic and national.

Corporate media could cover a lot more of the tragic stories, and make people aware of the true statistics. They don't.

Instead, they ignore and attack poeple like Bernie Sanders for his healthcare plan, which would have saved the country money while providing better coverage. They do the same to anyone threatening the racket.

That's why your follow up sentence doesn't matter. Public opinion has been nearly completely disconnected from the levers of power, so it doesn't matter how public opinion changed after 1997.
