It's definitely not the endless hierarchy of interfaces, abstract classes and abstractions, etc. There is such a thing as cognitive overload and time spent to get to a goal. If I have to look at more than 3 files to know what is going on, maybe push it to 5. Then I know this project is a time sink. Let alone all the magicry to just get to Javascript in the browser. I miss the good old days. Where discipline was part of a developers mind and lazyness was not heralded as a panacea.
>You get what you pay for.

I would say it's a somewhat weak correlation that breaks down completely if you consider a wider range of architectures. Back when Google was a startup "you get what you pay for" is what people running Oracle on Solaris would tell you.

And there was a sense in which it was true. There was no more reliable and feature rich way of scaling up. But starting something like Google on top of this egregiously expensive platform would have been completely uneconomical. It just wouldn't have happened.

And I think it's the same thing today. There are good reasons for using those egregiously expensive offerings from the largest incumbants but if you are starting something where servers are a significant cost factor then you are well advised to look at other options that are orders of magnitude cheaper, even accounting for labour.
I disagree. Official translations are quite often worse. They try to localize far too much. The cultural peculiarities (non-western) are the kinds of things why many people prefer manga/anime over more western media. Removing them is silly and probably the reason the fan translation scene is and was popular. While an official translations usually means that you have no fan translation alternative for the work, but you can just go watch/read something else instead.

On the other hand, both of those examples are more about story than teaching you how to play the game. Half-Life has an actual tutorial mode which is optional. Portal 2 is able to hit the ground running since it more or less assumes the player has already played Portal 1, but Portal 1 does start with essentially an extended tutorial. It's perfect for a first play but can be a bit much on successive plays. (You don't get the full portal gun until test chamber 11 out of 19! Though the later test chambers are longer, and the test chambers are only half of the game.)

Maybe someone should call up "modern society" and tell them "they're doing it wrong"...

Obviously, there's this correct way to "be a man", and men are "doing it wrong".

This needs to be fixed! Someone should send "men" a text and 'splain it to them. In simple language of course...

Again, with the meme speak illiteracy 8-(

I'll go out on a limb here, and assert that there may be some men who are in fact not doing it wrong. And, at great risk to my HN social score, I would also think it's posible that some women actually are doing it wrong.

In my experience, it really boils down more to being human, rather than being any particular subdivision of the species.

This is the sad, racist, misogynistic reality of identityism.

In fact, trying to identify as anything more specific that "human" leads to massive over-generalization, and the emergence of division and conflict.

As humans, trying to view things truly objectively is impossible (since we each live in our subjective conscousness), but striving to view things objectively is essential to making any progress in understanding each other. So let's keep trying...
I've been riding my ebike in public, aggressively, for over 1000 miles.

Where are you located, and what behavior of yours do you suspect these people are taking such issue that they're threatening you with their vehicles? Just being a cyclist?

That's the point though, no? The only way to justify the 50/50 claim made above that I can see is that the host must choose the door to open at random from among all 3 doors. So scenarios do arise where the host opens your door and it is the car, or that the host opens some other unchosen door and it is the car.

If you don't allow for those possibilities, then the host really isn't making their choice with equal probability.

The 50/50 scenario doesn't make sense.
It does. Mixed in with a million other things. Not to mention the stability and performance issues the app has had.

Meh. You have a parochial opinion of facts.
The most brilliant comment in this article is:

> Men were constantly told to be “better” and less “toxic,” he said, but what that “better” might look like seemed hard to pin down. “You pretty much have to figure it out yourself. But yet society still has the expectation that, you know, you have to be a certain way.”

That rather antithetical to how men function. We like specificity and I am surprise that it's that difficult to understand that you are push young men in the wrong direction when they are being told that they are wrong, but not told what the right answer is. Imagine that behavior in any other aspect of life. Constantly being told that you're wrong, but not help along the right path. That would classify as abuse. Of course some of them are becoming depresses and social withdrawn and of course some of them are going to lash out.

It's a well written article, with a lot of great points and insights. I'm not loving the digs at stoicism or that Jordan Peterson is put in the same broad category as Andrew Tate. It's also a little sad that it doesn't actually provide "a map out", because people like Peterson provides actually tries to provide a map, something that few others attempt. Still a good read, and provides a more nuanced image than we normally see.

Perhaps this is the salvation from too much influence by AI. Incest will eradicate itself. With language models in particular, it is easy to understand that only a multiplication of nonsense can be produced in a very short time if it has to reproduce itself because the influx of human content can no longer keep up.

There was no setting for the blink, so I had to unplug the LED to sleep.

They would've effectively made Internet inaccessible. That has political consequences, and they would have to live with that, or revise their policies around content censorship such as finding a common ground with content providers so there would be no need to block the web site.

Google's non-advertising revenue in the latest quarter was about $15 billion. Is that significant amount of non-ads product revenue? At least that is higher than the revenue of any of IBM, HP, Oracle, Intel, Cisco, Netflix, Broadcom, Qualcomm, or Salesforce in that same quarter.

I think their non-ads businesses alone would be the 6th largest US tech company by revenue. (Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, the ads business of Alphabet, Meta. Am I forgetting something?)

That's not what I said. I think e-bikes with throttles are too dangerous to be on the market for any buyer. It is a bad, dangerous human-machine interface. There is a reason that the big e-bike brands do not offer them. Yamaha doesn't. Specialized doesn't. Trek doesn't. It is a proper use of consumer safety regulatory powers to set requirements for the controls on a dangerous machine. Without them, you just get a race to the bottom.

Exploiting financial loopholes is like hacking. We see more hacking these days because more people depend on these systems, and more exploits are found.

Note: "hacking" can be defined as using a system in a way it was not intended to be used. Hacking is also punishable by law. PE firms and the like should not get away simply because they are following the law, as they are abusing the law in the same way as hackers abuse computer systems.
I want a political cartoon that shows "The Free Market Ideal" with a bustling market full of wooden stands with fruit and produce, handmade goods, handmade signs, lots of people making choices and talking with the merchants one-on-one, haggling over prices, etc.

The next cartoon pane shows "The Free Market Reality", and it's a bunch of tired looking people standing in line for one of two automated computer terminals.

The truths portrayed would be: Those selling in the market have automated processes, there is no talking with the merchant, no haggling over prices, and there are not dozens of carts to choose from, in many markets there's 2 or maybe 3, or sometimes only 1.
Which would inevitably force the Ukrainians to do that, at some point.

Of course. Welcome to the real world.

Without Western help this would have happened within weeks or months and would have spared so many. The terms would have certainly disappointed Russian (but also Ukrainian) nationalists. No “Regathering of the Russian lands”, not even close. In typical Putin fashion, the terms would have been fairly generous and conservative and satisfied few.

There probably was another chance for a relatively advantageous settlement in autumn 2022. “Position of strength”, at least politically. But then you got greedy.

Well, here we are. Wunderkätze got put down unceremoniously. Have a plan B?

One would have to be absolutely deluded to believe this.

Come on, you’re not even trying. Your side spent the better part of 2022 making fun of Putin’s “impotent bluff”. It’s either-or.

Financializers and engineers so often miss the human factor, or try to design around it. At some point in this process involving care for humans, you have to rely on people simply choosing to do the right thing, even if it's hard. This has been medicine's tradition for a long time. The fewer layers between doctor and patient the easier it is to do this. You also have to provide enough resources for them and some kind of work/life/pay balance.

In Canada we have fee for service, with incentives to care for specific populations (remote or chronic conditions etc.) Doctors (or their clerk) do their own billing direct to provincial health services. It works. We rely on individual morality and they generally do the right thing. Our outcomes are good.
One of the aspects emphasized in TFA is being able to simulate gates of any dimension/number of qubits (like a 3-qubit Toffoli or a 5-qubit Molmer-Sorensen), instead of just 1- and 2-qubit gates. Have you thought about extending your simulator to support gates of greater than two qubits?

Most, even 2D layouts map easily into nested 1D flexbox in my head. I feel like a single dimensional approach to layouts is way easier to wrap my head around and design with.
The way I do it is to set the `EnvironmentFile` entry in the service definition.

I'd guess that the author's idea is that if someone gains access to the server, the secrets would be either dumped from the binary or the environment file, if so, why to bother with another file?
Also the non-story cutscenes and other minutiae. Like in BotW (the game I'm currently playing), these things drive me nuts:

- Entering/exiting shrines (infuriatingly, you can skip about half the time, but not all of it). I've seen it a hundred times already (literally). I only needed to see it once, if even that. There's not even any variation.

- Unlocking a tower. You're making this a bigger deal than it really is.

- Interfacing with Great Fairies and Hestu. Again, some of it is skippable, but not everything. Why half-ass it?

- Pause and modal popup whenever you pick up certain items, even if you pick up some amber for the 1000th time. Why.

- Dialog and popups not immediately reacting to input, but every such thing has an artificial 1000-1500 ms delay. Can someone explain why this was added? For players to not accidentally choose an option without reading it? OK, maybe stop doing it after the first, I don't know, 100 times?

- Opening (and closing) chests.

- Praying in front of goddess statues and the things that ensue.

It's like they've done extra "fuck you" work to ruin your experience. Just let me skip. The whole thing. And don't fade in/out from/to white/black over 3 seconds, just cut it. Cut it. Begone.
The reason the tree octopus as described by that page seems obviously, totally fake to me is the absolutely janky "photo". Let's count the issues:

1) obviously photoshopped -- a real octopus on a tree branch would look totally different, it would sag in some places, it would affect the pine bristles underneath, it wouldn't have a shadow that makes it look like it's hovering an inch above the branch, etc. Also, that octopus image looks totally out of proportion, but I can't pin down why -- I _think_ it's because the level of detail is higher than for the branches.

2) It looks exactly like a regular octopus. Not only should an animal the size of a small bird have different proportions from a regular octopus (compare e.g. bats and fruit bats, or cats and tigers), but it should also look only distantly related to a regular octopus because it's adapted to a totally different biome.

All that leads me to the following conclusion: Common sense, in the sense of broadly understanding how the world works, really is what prevents you from getting fooled, and the more things you understand, the less likely you are to get fooled. Also, the more information a hoax has, the more likely it is to get exposed, because just one sufficiently glaring inconsistency can sink it.
Recently, I have been working on some things that sometimes overlap with quantum computation and I have realized that the way all the quantum languages approach this wrong. If you are programming explicitly with CNOT gates, you are doing it wrong. A Python programmer doesn't care about logical gates, and neither should a quantum programmer. To that end, I'm convinced that the interplay between coinduction and induction, or coalgebra and algebra is the way forward.

But what is the human impact?

Extreme weather events, not really a big deal. More rain, more snow, hurricanes aren’t a big deal if buildings are built up to code.

Crops dying could be a problem, except are crops really exposed to enough heat during the day that will kill them off entirely? Surely the night will provide cooler temperatures. Won’t some crops develop heat resistance? Can’t we change the times of year in which we plant and harvest?

The oceans dying and becoming devoid of life sucks, but aside from a lack of sea food what does it mean for humans? The ocean isn’t a place most of us will spend much time visiting, if at all. Maybe kelp farms will thrive.

Trying to find some hope in a world that will refuse to change its behavior.
AFAICT, you are probably wrong. Here is some points as to why:

> daily energy reaching the earth's surface from sunlight

... which is exactly the same as the amount of energy radiating off, in a state of equilibrium. But here comes the problem, if we add heat, e.g. from fission, we are not in an equilibrium anymore, are we?

Skeptics of anthropogenic climate change make that claim all the time: Absolute numbers are huge, so they do comparisons like

- 99.998% if Carbon does not take part in Carbon Cycle, or

- heat radiation from the sun is more than X by a scale of Y.

But in balance, so any addition without compensation can compound to be fatal to human life on earth.

After increasing the temperature by storing energy, then radiation off the surface and air layers will increase. But the heat build up is strongest at ground level, yet radiating to space is hardest from that layer. So the effectiveness of heat dispersal in a layered, in-vacuum geoid is not ideal.

> Not only[addition by me] by humans adding more heat under the existing blankets.

Volker Quaschning hat an article, in german, on that. A comparable, unfavourable look on heat introduction instead for a post-co2 energy generation, was also cited in minkorrekt podcast (german, too).

But that that is a small factor, too. I did back of the envelope calculation, and
- if every of the 8 billion humans increases their consumption to western standards,
- their energy from unlimited fusion or unlimited fission, earth still boils.

It might be 2-5 % of the effect of greenhouse gases, by heat introduction is real and at scale deadly, too.

With water, wind and solar, we have no added heat, since moving gases and fluids evoke heat anyway, which just is not converted to electricity in between.
And solar changes the albedo of the place where the panel was placed to a reflectivity of that of a green meadow, which might be worse than some kinds of coating, but usually is better then other roof tiling [citing needed, do IR/VIS-white-painted roofs exist?].

TL;DR: Smaller problem by a few orders of magnitude, but unless dangerous geoengineering takes place[1], still unsustainably cooks mankind.

>Other (public) businesses in the market?

That. Or, you have been shorting the company for some time, because you know it has been targeted for demolition. A PE takeover is the signal that you no longer need to hedge those shorts; the company, loaded with the debt used to purchase it, will soon go bankrupt, and you will be absolved of closing your short positions, for all practical purposes.

This may not apply to the subject of the article (PE firms buying medical establishments), but it may speak to the character of their new strategy. Perhaps they won't kill this goose because they payer has endlessly deep pockets.
Yeah, this site isn’t bad; the comment I was initially responding to was more a general commentary on a trend that admittedly doesn’t really apply here.

It’d still be nice to get a summary “about” link but at least you can go right home.
I can't think of examples that match all your criteria. Some books that do come to mind:

* Linus Torvalds and David Diamond - Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary (2002)
A personal account of the history of Linux. Not many technical details nor (any?) illustrations.

* Katie Hafner, Mathew Lyon - Where Wizards stay up Late
A history of the internet. Some technical details, but not a lot. Not many diagrams, and it does stop in the 90s. Covers the internet and therefore networking

* Noam Nisan, Shimon Schocken - The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles The Elements of Computing systems
Not a lot of history, but does describe how computers work in a bottom up fashion. Includes diagrams. No networking. It is more of a project book because as you can "build along" a computer, starting from nand gates. Covers both hardware and software.
> Certainly I would have expected the orbit to go higher the faster the planets moved? Is that not the usual effect of increasing speed?

That rather depends on what you mean. The usual effect of increasing speed in a circular orbit at any given moment is to change it to an elliptical orbit, where the apoapsis is further away from the center of gravity and the object in question moves slower. And if you increase speed again at the apoapsis, you can make the orbit circular again, but the object will be moving much slower than it was to start. Thus two accelerations, both prograde, have the net effect of substantially reducing the prograde speed.

For any given circular orbit, though, lower means faster.

It's not about subsidies for nuclear vs. fossil.
