Of course there are valid values below that...

If they were designing to a collection size of N -> ∞ then they shouldn't have used Insertion Sort either then, because it is O(n²) in the worst case.
bad argument, imho. you can use you imagination and invent lots of new "skills" for guns the same way you can do for swords and bows: shrapnel shot, crippling shot, blinding shot, rapid fire, etc. Item wise I see absolutely no "logical" difference between guns and "sword A with 10 DMG" and "sword B with 250 DMG and ice damage". This is fantasy worlds we are talking about, cmon.

Very strange that this is your experience, because IME as an Indian who has to apply for Schengen visas 4-5 times a year it's actually easier to get a visa for tourism than to attend a conference or for business.

You need to supply fewer documents for a tourist visa, there's lesser scrutiny, and in many countries you're more likely to get a longer-duration visa (6 months rather than exact duration) for tourism than for a conference or business.

I have been denied a visa to attend business meetings in a Schengen country despite an explicit invitation from the concerned company registered in that country simply because the consulate couldn't believe that the meetings were scheduled over the span of ten days.

They wouldn't even blink at a tourist visa for the same duration.
Almost certainly not thousands given that most large tech conference attendees are North American and European. But it's totally routine for large conference organizers to provide visa letters for attendees upon request. e.g. https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe...

sorry, but, there’s something about this that doesn’t smell right.

junior ic being asked to sign a contract makes zero sense. that’s insanity. plenty of managers at plenty of companies lack that level of authority.

sales teams use slimy tactics. that’s a given. time limits, multi-years, etc, etc, etc. trying to get the wrong person to sign is a different category entirely.

maybe you ran across the “best of the best” sales people there, but, this sounds sufficiently outlandish that i have to question it a bit.

You can imagine wizards but you can't imagine more creative guns and guns-usage? For being into fantasy, you seemingly drop the ball on the whole "made up" stuff.

What's to say there aren't different techniques to using guns where one user is better than another? Or since we're in fantasy, that some characters can learn how to avoid getting shot better than others.

My focus has been on calisthenics, but I still do some lifting. My thoughts have been that lifting free benefits from increasing the strength of all the stabilizing muscles. machines take away a lot of that so that you can target a particular muscle/group very effectively.

True, but make that valid value at least something like 1 million.

GNU Parallel has been one of my go to tool to accomplish more on the terminal. Generate test data, transferring data from one node to another using rsync, run many-task, embarrassingly parallel jobs on HPC, pipelines with simple data dependencies but run over hundreds or files are some of the places where I use GNU Parallel.

That said, AI image generation is in the process of being lobotomized very strongly. Just look at stable diffusion 2.0. 2.1 was better, but 2.0 just generated something random if it could be anything offensive. I think 1.5 is still the most used model because of the strategy to inhibit certain themes, even if 2.1 is trained with higher resolution images.

I think the focus on generating politically correct images is a wrong one. I can understand that some don't want to generate as many naked asian women as the general internet userbase wants to, but I think any "safe" tool, will be one that is less capable in a fundamental way. Businesses need to be aware any creative process can generate something offensive. If that is a no-go, they want a robot instead of an AI.

Aside from speed, I think stable diffusion is the only real contender for wider adoption and success. Just because you can run it on low end machines yourself and the platform is open. It has thousands of people that gladly train models and while other models can keep up with the standard themes, they are useless on concepts they aren't trained in.

People do not necessarily act rationally in emergency situations. That is why it's important to design things in a way that's obvious and avoids unexpected obstacles (e.g., the door doesn't open anymore and you need to use a secondary handle).

For example, sliding doors usually have clearly marked text on them saying "in event of power loss, push to open".
A reasonable compromise would be to allow changing defaults whenever there's a major version bump.

ripgrep seems to have a major version bump every 18 months or so, which seems a bit excessive. OTOH vim went through 9 versions in 30-something years which seems more reasonable. Although I think there was more churn early on. ISTR vim 6 being around for a long time.

There are some in-universe laws or facts that fictional genres cannot give up (Edit:typo) easily - one in scifi is the small crewed spaceship or even space fighter.

Even if guns exist, there is an arguable thrill to reading about a character infiltrating a castle with a saber and two pistols that cannot be reloaded easily. Long ago, those were pirate or naval pulp fiction.

Imo any setting can produce great stories, it's in how they're told not in how the world works. Established genres of fantasy are just attractive to some people, since analogues of the laws and structure of the world are already partially known - and it's possible to subvert expectations while not alienating people.

> It's not really a replacement for attending a conference live but it's a mostly inexpensive (money and time) way to get exposed to a lot of the formal content of a conference.

This is something that has troubled me about in-person conferences for a while: they are inegalitarian. If they’re not really about the content, the only people who get the true benefit are those already privileged enough to be able to attend. That means the purpose of in-person conferences is to compound inequalities. We should not have them.

There's a shell script version of GNU parallel that's great for CI/CD pipeline tasks. You just keep it in your repo and source it as needed. It's incredibly useful, we use it in one build to batch process a few thousand things in groups of 25.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybris

> Hybris may refer to:

> Hybris or hubris, exaggerated self pride

I don't think you know as much as you think. Whether that's spellings, ecosystems, or what happened 50,000 years ago. But you think you do. Thereby exemplifying hybris.
Inspired and allegorial are two very different things. Tolkien was very explicit that LOTR was not allegory.
I don't really understand what you're proposing. It is indeed traditional terminology to identify 5 "long" and 5 "short" vowels in English. They are the sounds that are regularly spelled _VC and _VCE, where V represents the particular vowel you're talking about, C is any consonant, and E is the letter E. (For example, you have a "short E" in "bet", which ends in _eC, and a "long E" in "mete", which ends in _eCE.)

The fixed word-final E that marks "long vowels" has the special name "silent E". (If it's not word-final, it won't appear at all. Thus "mating" has a silent E overridden by the -ing that follows it, and in order to spell a "short A" in the same context you need to divorce it from the following syllable by doubling the syllable-final consonant: "matting".)

But you can't use this as a basis for English spelling reform, because - to choose only the most obvious problem - English uses a lot more than 10 vowels.

So, when you write réad, am I supposed to understand /ɹi.æd/, a two-syllable word with a long E followed by a short A? When you write "had a", am I supposed to understand that both words are pronounced with identical vowels? When you write "lives", am I supposed to understand that this is a two-syllable word in which the first syllable contains a short I and the second contains a short E?

What problem are you trying to solve? How would you spell "put"?
> "Visa available both on arrival or eVisa"

That just means that they're taxing the arrivals. Turkey and Indonesia (for my country) switch between requiring a visa on arrival and not needing one. That's tied to lower/higher tourist numbers. If the number of tourists drop too much the visa on arrival is removed. That this is linked is the explanation I read in an Indonesian article on why they were removing the visa on arrival for my country.

The only slight annoyance might be that sometimes they want you to pay that "visa" in (crisp) USD, which means getting USD.

The purpose of regulation and regulatory enforcement is to make what would be lucrative nuisance behavior highly unprofitable for the offender.

For example, in the cases of shoplifting or selling fentanyl on the street, lack of enforcement-coupled-regulation leads to a wholly predictable rise in shoplifting and fentanyl street vending.

To say otherwise is just another kind of public nuisance for personal gain.

Yes, but I believe this affects the prices that resellers price new contracts at, which affects customers signing up for electricity during the surge.

This is, also, definitely how resellers go out of business. Happens every year.
years ago, had this one college professor, students would spend the time before class asking him to divide two fractional numbers, and he would rattle off a few decimal places after calculating, to cheers from the students that had their calculators out with the answers. the excitement would build with every correct decimal point.

yep, as i got older chasing the 1RM became something that wasn't worth the risk/rewards. i would tweak something every once in a while and set back weeks as i recovered. wasn't competing and didn't make any difference in my health or how i was perceived.

at some point it becomes less about progress and more about being injury free and CONSISTENT (which can't happen without being injury free lol). it scares me that this margin becomes even less as you get older. i can imagine someone in their 70-80s being diligent and all it takes is some minor injury that takes you out for a week to begin a downward spiral.

I think it’s the other way around, CBT and SSRIs is not the last resort but the first. These techniques can help acquire the basic life skills of operating in anxious situations, but they’re a prosthesis.

You can use this prosthesis to tackle the underlying deeper issues.

But I do agree reliance on CBT and SSRIs as the be-all and end-all of therapy is bad and inhumane. They’re the most commodifiable techniques, but they’re Pavlovian and reduce human beings to machines you can train through a chat bot (really?).

I don't expect them to lose much ground though. Something like a password manager will have some very strong lock in inertia, but it's telling that people actually take the effort to move away from it.
> Whether you consider someone your enemy or not doesn’t really matter if they turn out to actually be your enemy. If those people turn round and stab you in the back one day and leave you dead then their ideology has effectively won and yours has lost. This was how a lot of imperial empires operated, first befriending and then betraying.

Ok ... weird, but this is a strawman. Even if my groups have actual enemies that we are unaware of, we are still not worrying about these hypothetical backstabbers and, as such, do not "have a common enemy as a bonding factor".

> As the famous joke goes, look what they did to Jesus, the guy who loved everyone, they killed him. You might not go around trying to actively find or create enemies, but that doesn’t change the fact that they probably exist.

Jesus was a mythical character; but in the Christian mythos: Jesus had actual enemies, was very much aware of those enemies and explicitly chose to turn the other cheek and to love them, ironically to your reference of him, making him not their enemy.
The only way to proof how bad of an idea this is, is to try it.

Probably for very simple use cases, but the real power in parallel really comes from the myriad of switches that enables so much more than what "&" and "wait" could do.

That's nice to hear - I didn't use Twitter in 2009!

As I've said earlier - the groupthink on HN is at astoundingly high levels nowadays. First everyone said subscriptions are the way to go. Seriously - this was unanimous. And absolutely everyone on HN would complain about their linear timeline being taken away.

Now that Elon has bought the company, he's introduced a (good) subscription based product (while simultaneously keeping free access), and he's reintroduced the linear timeline. And HN can't seem to stop whining.

Honestly considering leaving this site - I can't seem to find any genuine debates any more. Not that it has anything to do with HN - what do I know, this perception of HN of mine might just be me seeing the platform through heavy bias. But the perception is there.
