That was my first thought ok. I thought I was looking at the reflecting pool at the Washington monument or something. I’m completely in awe of the size of that pool.

It actually is closer to the reflecting pool than an Olympic pool

There's more advertising in there than I'm comfy with, but I found it a pretty cool read and I've got nothing to do with the company.
Yeah; the difference between Box and a regular object would be the object is on the heap instead of the stack (just like it is with uniqueptr). I say its a footgun to have an implicitly copyable uniqueptr because a reasonable use of using the heap that way is for stuff too big to go on the stack, and too big would also mean you also don't want to treat copy as a trivial operation.

Often classes don't have a copy constructor if it's expensive to copy for the same reason though, which means they wouldn't be eligible for the proposed Box behavior either though so maybe its not a real problem.
UTM is open source.

Also, running UTM instead of Qemu has some benefits. e.g. bridged networking
ComCom issues 'stop now' letter to One NZ over satellite claim
I know, I saw that. The article is lovely, and I love the design (dithered images like that hits all the right nostalgia notes), but it's lacking in a meaningful technical analysis.

Directly driving the heat pump has the potential to be more efficient still, but it's
1) very hard to design
and
2) a custom (and therefore quite expensive) design.

Hooking your turbine to a generator, which can probably do something like 80% efficient transformation of the mechanical energy to electric energy (incorporating losses). Wire that generator to an electric heat pump.

240-320% > 100%

You can lose another half of your electrical energy in transport and storage and still come out ahead. Thermodynamics is weird.

What's a Website
Check out this blog post I wrote about my evolving understanding of what a website is and how the internet works. I lack a background in computer science, and this posts reflects what I've learned since leaving academia to work as a data scientist in industry. I don't need to know how the internet works for my job, but it's so fundamental to everything that I've picked up some stuff about it. I'm curious to know what people think of the post that understand the internet better than me and can help me fill in the gaps in my knowledge.
I built a website that was super simple using server side rendering using Django. Then I got a bunch of feature requests that made it less simple and the client-side javascript started getting crazy spaghetti code.

I actually somewhat knew React before this project but besides not wanting to overcomplicate things I was hesitant because I didn't like pure client-side rendering. Then I learned NextJS makes it easy to mix/match client-side rendering and server-side rendering so I just switched to that.

So now, even for a simple website, I'll probably start with React because I don't want to dig myself into a needless hole.

I wrote about the experience here:

https://www.billprin.com/articles/why-i-ditched-django-for-n...

And yes that post upset some people who thought I should use htmx, but React is actually pretty easy and simple. Now most of my websites are React because I know it so it's easy and simple to use what you're used to.

Also, "I did it in React because that's the way it's done" isn't the worst reason because you benefit from that popularity, e.g. some library you need will have clear examples of integrating with React.

I think the frontend and JS community have certainly gone off some crazy rails at points, but I also think there's a popular sentiment on HN exaggerating how off-the-rails things have gone, usually expressed by people who don't actually develop many modern-looking websites. Most of the trends have gotten popular for somewhat rational reasons, and even that stuff that has gotten a little crazy like an explosion in dependencies, is really just about tradeoffs e.g. lots of dependencies cause lots of problems but also enable code re-use so it has pros and cons.

After an initial delay because of high load, I got a handful of generated comments. Shortly after, they all disappeared with an error. I’m guessing it’s some background poll that failed because of high load (could be paginating for more results, I don’t know). In this event, it’d be really nice to retain the already generated comments instead. I only got two seconds to look at them, before they got replaced by an error.
You are missing my main point. Physics education tends to exclude fluid dynamics, so of course you wouldn't hear much about it or do research in it if you only have physics degrees. If a physics degree were about physics as defined in the dictionary, fluid dynamics would be more prominent. But "physics" as studied in a "physics" department is much more narrow than the dictionary definition.

Fluid phenomena is ubiquitous. You live in a fluid. You probably drive a car through a fluid and may occasionally take a plane through a fluid at higher speed. You surely use plumbing. I don't see how you can claim that fluid dynamics is not valuable given that. It's a lot more relevant to most people than quantum mechanics.
As far as I can tell, the SPA paradigm solves exactly one issue: Whiny users saying "but it flashes and reloads the header and navigation between page views and desktop/mobile apps don't.".

Since HTML never had a proper way to compose content from multiple sources-- frames being as close as it got-- we have to instead punt this, like so much else, to JavaScript hairballs to glue it all together.

> because it severed "the last connection" between them and their customers. The latter would basically no longer have a reason to "interact" with the former.

I love how they put this because it's exactly how I phrase my general objection to and avoidance of SaaS and other kinds of services. I do NOT want to have a relationship with every single vendor. Managing relationships is costly. Most of the time, those relationships are highly abusive towards the customer. And they're almost always artificial anyway; they exist entirely to let the vendor keep a sales channel open. That's exactly what I do not want as a customer.
It isn't so clear to me. As I read it, OP might be asking about a dev environment on Mac, not necessarily for Mac-only development.

A couple of things;

Firstly, serial killing is actually a very rare crime. I would say that our perception of the frequency of serial killer murders is skewed by media representation of these crimes - because when they happen they are shocking and reported extensively, and so with that, also it becomes far more memorable.

My next point: You argue that women have an easier time hiding “such behaviours” because of cultural stereotypes, but then go on to use instinct to argue your point, which isn’t good science and completely undermines your argument. I’m fairly confident that a lot of the points you make could be refuted with empirical evidence.

Finally some other thoughts I might add:
There is some evidence to suggest that female psychopaths are in someways different to male psychopaths. Male psychopaths are more antisocial and physically aggressive, whereas females use more relational and verbal aggression. Also, just in general, most psychopaths do not kill people. While female abusers and killers exist, I wouldn’t call it a secret pandemic of our time.

Additionally, I think that serial killers found in healthcare settings “angels of death” or “angels of mercy” are less motivated by “aggressive/violent” factors, but rather they either believe that they are:
1. Easing suffering - putting someone out of their misery (which may also be delusional). OR
2. They enjoy the power that they have that they can kill people. OR
3. They have a Hero complex - that’s gone too far. They enjoy the adrenaline/excitement of resuscitations, and these situations often result in death - full resus is often chaotic and they’re even more difficult on a Night Shift when there is less people. OR
4. They revel in other people’s sorrow.
OR some combination of the above…

S'pose I was trying to reject the claim that prices should be comparable in different metros. I certainly wasn't saying that the dirth of competition in one place means the existing options were unimpeachable.
Fluid dynamics is published in physics, engineering, and math journals, even if focused specifically on Navier-Stokes.

To do fluid dynamics research in a physics department, sometimes one has to spin it in some way that people with physics degrees care about. For example, saying that it's to understand chaos theory.
"Lots of things take 2% of power, why not target them?"

Perhaps because those things are not increasing at the same rate and are not projected to exceed 2% in the near term.

Disagree. I’m exMck too. Whether senior person wrote it is irrelevant. Just ask whether it is good or bad advice. Lots of smart mid-level people (and some not so smart). And some senior people really good and some are not. My view is it is all about the particular person.

My take is it seems basic but sensible.
> I remember back in the training days, our teacher just held a metal pane, painted black, into the sun for a demonstration. And got to 80ºC in a few minutes. In January.

A bit off topic and slightly different tech, but I have a solar kettle which uses reflected sunlight and boils a liter of water in a bit over an hour.

The sun has energy to spare, and I always like learning new was to utilize it.
Subpoenas are only required if you want to search a journalist in relation to a crime committed by a third party.

If a journalist is suspected of committing a crime themselves, they get treated to basically the same standards as everyone else.
Seconded, when I heard about this my first reaction was that some rough seas would be no big deal, but seeing that video... damn. Not only is that a rough environment for a hard swim, but it's a terrible one for people doing the life-guarding and rescue work.
You're right, I was only looking at line (5) briefly and thought he was talking about the minimum change of entropy.

S ≥ k ln2 is incorrect, as you say. A system whose state is fully known has no entropy. One can either see this through counting the number of microstates (which is 1) or by applying Shannon's definition of entropy to the trivial probability distribution which is 1 for precisely one state.
Thanks for taking a look and reporting the issues. I'll add clarifications around the "immediately" and remove the second "complete" as per your suggestions.
Some of the larger recruitment firms gather data about the market. Hays publishes an IT Salary guide, their latest FY 23-24 doc was created in May:

https://www.hays.com.au/documents/276732/1102429/Hays+Salary...

In the prior year's general guide for the entire AU/NZ job market - not just IT - Hays said the labour market was the tightest they'd ever seen in half a century, on the back of covid-related border restrictions to immigration.

Re: the salaries listed for roles salary guide, they might be representative of median offers, but there's also a tail of situations and niches where a specific project in a business is willing to offer 2x or 3x the median salary to the right employee/contractor at the right time. Although granted, maybe that's based on what the market was like 12 months ago.

I suspect the Australian IT job market & salaries are bi- or tri- modal. Small local businesses don't have enough scale in their business operations and aren't in a position to bid as high for engineering salaries offered by the large non-tech domestic employers such as the big banks. Then our large domestic employers compete against each other for engineering talent, but aren't necessarily willing to bid against well funded US companies that have engineering offices or are willing to hire remote in Australia.
Yeah. I have a bunch of stuff I'm sure others would treasure--at least for a few days. But I have zero interest in uniting the pile with them if it takes more than a super-token effort.
Do you have a source for this? I remember the Snowden leaks showed this occurs with individual target devices via the NSA's "Tailored Access Operations" unit,[1] but I haven't seen anything suggesting it's been done to batches of devices that include non-targets.

Yes, I know how it works but it fucks up log parsing. 401 is auth fail in http speak - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/401

401 does not indicate anything apart from authentication failure. Bear in mind that I am trying to parse logs to decide what is happening.

I'm no expert but I suspect that http works a bit like this:

C: hello web server
S: yes I exist and I speak the following languages: lol, rofl, powershell (on thursdays)
C: cool, let's talk lfor and I will sacrifice my first born child and give you my wallet
S: no chance, but I speak lol and thank you for your wife
C-S: witter on in "lol" for some time.
<cat memes flow regardless>

Kerberos has overloaded how auth should work and inadvertently fucked up log processing. Actually I think it is really NTLM. It goes in with auth instead of hello.
Ask HN: How to take control of my career?
I’m 28 and want to do the right things to set myself up for a successful career. For older, successful folks what did that look like for you?

Just interested in hearing about your path. I can easily see myself being stuck in the “senior engineer” position just grinding code and not really moving up or growing, whatever that means. Ideally I make moves that allow me to think about running a successful business.
Performance issues are 2-fold:

a) As mentioned, vector extensions. If missing, big performance hit in some benchmarks.

b) General software optimizations (compilers & GPU drivers in particular). A lot of these are still on the table. And thus situation should improve as software support matures further.

Getting boards out there helps a lot. Developers can't fix software support without hardware to test on.

This probably should have pointed to the actual database or at least had it in the comment. Can be found at:

https://thesifter.org/

From the site: "It does not contain the texts of books or recipes. Rather it has the details about these, such as dedications, table of contents, recipes titles and, in greater detail, the particular details of the recipes such as ingredients, actions and equipment."

Was really hoping it would have actual recipes, since some of this stuff is from 1600, and I have somehow misplaced my copies of "Certain experiments concerning fish and fruit" and "Hermes redivivus."
I don't think so, no. The way I understood op was to use the generated audio itself as a source of entropy, which would be a bad idea if not using a CSPRNG perfectly tuned to the sampling rate and lossless audio I think :)
but I'm just guessing there regarding the effects of quality.

Because for the last 10 years, “code schools” and boot camps have taught JavaScript/Typescript with React as “programming” where everything outside of your immediate dom is an api call. One not worth knowing about since it’s “backend”. The reality is SSR has never been a bad idea, we started that way. Now we are seeing reimplementations of it in various forms to “solve the api call hell” that was self induced. Just like the front-end bundle size problem was self induced.

I've watched a few talks and seen cool computational demos about it (see for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22282452 ), but I still don't really understand it... or should I say I can't "wedge" it into my head ;)

The uniformity of operations and the fact it works in all dimensions is very appealing, but I remember there were some very counter-intuitive aspects too, so I'm not fully on board. Still very cool though!

I guess old school vectors, dot-, and cross- products have the benefit of history behind them, so they feel more intuitive, whereas geometric algebra operations feel somehow foreign to us (to me at least). It would be interesting to see what happens if a student learns geometric algebra first, maybe it will feel more natural then.
We’re not at all at risk of self-driving cars being neutered forever. It makes more sense to start broadly, restrictively and aggressively regulating at this junction and slowly back it off as tolerated.

In the above example with firefighters, it would be simple enough to say “autonomous vehicles must have some way to be overridden and controlled by emergency services in <60s or less”. The specifics can be figured out by the companies. Once we have a better understanding of who is doing it well and how that works well, it can be expanded to a more detailed standard. We don’t need perfect to be the enemy of good, just just need to start regulating and be proactive about modifying it.
If skipped segments are such a problem for the airlines, couldn't they fix it by ensuring that they never priced an stopping flight cheaper than any of its subsidiary segments?

Or maybe they could develop services that consumed those abandoned travel segments, allowing people to buy the ticket and explicitly waive the second segment. Maube expand standby services, or some sort of "you can buy a ticket for a package when even Fedex Overnight isn't fast enough for you."
It's kind of a tautology though. Physics isn't remotely special in this regard at all, and it doesn't need generalizing from physics. One needs to work through anything to truly learn it: music, sports, gardening, life, writing, etc.
That said, AR goes back decades with the early implementations being as primitive (if not more primative) relative to the HoloLens as the HoloLens is to the Vision Pro. While every new step may see the technology become more desirable and it may even garner higher adoption rates, it has no impact upon the lives of most people. Heck, as far as I can tell, it has no indirect impact upon the lives of most people. While the specifications may grow in leaps and bounds, I wouldn't really call it a technological leap until it has a greater impact.

(That said, the Vision Pro is a bit young to tell how much of an impact it will have.)
Heat pumps are somewhat limited in the heat they can provide. For example, it would be difficult for a heat pump to produce several hundred degrees C temperatures for an industrial process.

For applications in their wheelhouse, though, they are absolutely amazing.
I have no idea about who you are, or what your use cases are, or how you even feel about Fedora currently.

I used both of these distros for a long long time. I enjoyed both of them for different reasons although they were both employed as desktop "Daily Drivers".

I used Fedora on my Lenovo T580 because that's what it's certified for. I used Ubuntu from 2006-2022 on more than one system.

I will tell you that I'd never go back to Ubuntu at this point. I was honestly prepared to "upgrade" to Debian at the next opportunity. I firmly recommend Debian over Ubuntu now.

The main reasons about Ubuntu are that it peaked around 2018, and their insistence on Snaps and other more-or-less proprietary stuff began to ruin stuff that was working fine. In contrast, Debian played catch-up and was no longer horrendously outdated or featureless, and as a result it's matured into a really respectable first choice.

I typically used the KDE environment, although my Raspberry Pi ran MATE quite nicely.

(Devils advocate bc I don’t actually believe this but think it illustrates an important point):

Why don’t we just give them money? Because, ultimately, housing need is there largely because they can’t afford housing right? So the deeper cause is a financial one.

I suspect most people exist be onboard with this because they know it won’t solve the underlying problems. It’s also the same with simply giving “free” housing.

Most people who deal in processes understand treating the root cause it paramount and should be their priority. Getting sidetracked by proximate causes is a good way to squander resources that can also tend to make things worse.
As GP said, continuum mechanics is often used for physics research. While not the Truth, the models can often be accurate. My own research involving transport in the quantum domain utilized some models from continuum mechanics.
