things have advanced a little since then - speaking as someone that really liked f77 :-) but even way back when i think there were parallel options, if your hardware could support them.
Sounds kind of silly, just run the thing till it gives the right answer ? How do you know each pass has not introduced a new problem ?

I am sorry for sounding harsh but this and other comments in the thread sound like IBM paid promotion. The headline is claiming to head up against Nvidia. First show me something that can compete with AMD which is miles behind Nvidia. Otherwise it's just click bait.
I don't have a path, I'm just randomly here in a body with a mind
Yes as per the article I'm luckily an outlier. :)
But this is a very unfortunate situation especially in combination with the stopped sale of physical cards. I still have an old PASMO which I used for a commuter pass in 2016-2017 so I may be able to use this card when I visit Japan again next year. Well, unless these cards expire. Not sure about that.

Is it known whether this foreign-VISA situation is supposed to resolve and get fixed eventually? The article didn't mention whether the current situation is on purpose or an error. I fear that if this is on purpose it might actually get worse and other foreign cards eventually stop working as well.

>Not in Japan anymore otherwise I would have tried again.

I'm neither. Does this change anything? I could charge from home directly in ¥. But the card is from DKB so expected to work.
Huh? There are tons of evidence that PFAS and microplastics are toxic.
Not at all, Im not advocating for anything. In the same way the GP was as attacked for even asking about the validity of the Uighur genocide claim, you're now misrepresenting my statement. Why? Because the facts aren't the point, division and outrage are the point. You're demonstrating my point, not addressing it.
As someone moving back and forth between BSDs and Linux over the years. I think I can relate to this feeling.

On Linux you inarguably have more options in terms of software, higher performance, better device driver support, etc. But even when you participate on the level of a distribution you still have the feeling that many components are at times poorly understood by your fellow developers (do not get me wrong though, I have plenty of respect for them) and that the direction for many parts that are essential to you is made elsewhere.

On the contrary, on the BSDs you get a spectrum of pragmatism, idealism, goals, etc. under a single roof. As I was younger I also found it hard to understand how limited the scope of say OpenBSD was in that they would not care about certain use cases: "You want to play the latest games? Why not get a Windows desktop or a console?! Now let me get back to try to figure out how to handle the insanity of locales, while keeping the code complexity from not going through the roof!". Perhaps it was some sort of "replace Windows with a single solution" drive inside of me? Not that "Linux users use Linux because they hate Windows. BSD users use BSD because they love Unix." is necessarily always true, but as I grow older I believe I can see better what it is hinting at.

I do not think I can say that one is better than the other in some sort of absolute truth sense. However, I can say that personally I tend to enjoy the BSD world much more as a user and (limited) contributor. I am willing to make the sacrifices and rethink my software dependencies and what hardware I can use, not because it makes me better than others, but because I enjoy the understanding of the software I rely on and tight community that comes with it.

Unrelated, andomdeazzz662, we seem to have vouched you back into the world of mortals. But do note the comment I made earlier [1].

It's like they don't. But such an event would pale in comparison with the turnover as it stands
Why are you so sure as to use the word “surely”? That might be an obvious conclusion but obvious does not mean it’s correct in biochemistry. Just ask the doctors who spent the last two decades removing the amyloid plaques that obviously cause Alzheimer’s.
Ask HN: Recommend Tech Companies in San Diego
We will be moving to San Diego next year. Besides large companies like Intuit, Qualcomm, FAANG, what tech companies do you recommend? thanks!
Harsh penalties are ineffective and irrelevant in terrorism and warfare situations, or even only against lunatics.

Here I don't think that this signal system is designed to be used by the public. I'm guessing that there are transmitters installed and operated by the railways and perhaps police/emergency services but no-one else.

I am sure that the system will now be upgraded to include cryptographic authentication or something to that effect.

Citation needed. Of all problems of this planet, underpopulation is not one of them.
Thanks, that's great. I'm also curious about how they collaborate because they seem to have low friction work.
Greatly appreciate your detailed post. Very interesting!

Could I kindly request that you update your post with references?

This sounds very plausible, but it's difficult to acertain the veraciy of the claims.

Even if the references are anectodal, or based on your experience, it would be really helpful to know where this knolwege is coming from.
I don't normally do this, but today it's my turn to ask "why is this relevant to HN?" Unless someone's proposing to use AI to identify these faces from social media? (Which has happened in many cases, as people cheerfully posted pictures of themselves and others committing federal crimes)
Surprisingly many faces which aren’t identified yet. Aren’t people “tattling” or what’s the holdup?
Because of the high level of automation in the cloud, software models and data are becoming increasingly dynamic. Let's take the example of an online fruit shop that sells its products in several countries. New products are entered by users in different languages....
So many questions on the reverse osmosis usage.

What kind of flows do you get from it? I get the impression they convert water very slowly so it's not like an instant open tap. For example could you connect to a dish washer or is it only a reservoir for drinking water.

What is the water waste like, as in how many liters are you spending in the membrane cleansing versus actual drinking water?

What kind of material is used for the tubing and containers it uses? I am a little be sceptical of using flexible tubing (usually flexible because of plasticizers) to then feed and accomulate water into a reservoir.
You should break some kind of layer of protection or find some secret piece of information for it to be hacking. Otherwise you're just doing what anyone could do but had the decency not to.
> How unfair would that be to that someone? Having to bear the burden of being the sole reason for another to live?

Is it really a burden? I've been through a very rough year and basically just live for my two wonderful kids. The only thing worse than the suffering is knowing my kids will remember their dad as being a coward who killed himself, and will have to grow up without one. You could see it as a burden but if I was that person I'd be happy to be there for them and profoundly wish they were happier.
There are really good stuff for that, like opiates and benzodiazipines.
How does public knowledge centralize the control of the companies? Owners would still be in control and there still would be laws prohibiting collusion between companies.
Makes sense, somehow I assumed things stayed the same. Turns out I only know fortran from the memes about it.
In almost every European country, stores must show the price per liter or kg.
Destruction is so much easier than creation. In a normal society there are ample opportunities for easy and cheap destruction. Given a handful of motivated and smart people and within an hour or two and $500 in budget you can significantly harm any open society.

But that doesn't mean that you are smart, it just means that as an attacker you have it easy. Electrical infrastructure, water, gas, telecommunications, railways and so on are all wide open to abuse and sabotage. Doing so however is in my opinion about as close as an act of war as you can get if you do it from another country and should net you a decade or more in jail if not. It's also supremely cowardly, not unlike calling in a bomb threat on an airport. Assholes will be assholes.
> Fear of death is not rational.

I vehemently disagree. From the human to the amoeba, avoiding death is our primary instinct.

It might not make philosophical sense to fear death, but on a biological sense, it is the utmost priority, and any organism would benefit from having an innate, irrational, all-consuming fear of its life ceasing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-preservation

Accepting your death is a learned behaviour, not innate. Either because you know that it will happen shortly, or because of high-order rationalisation such as meditation, reading a lot of philosophy books or believing in abstract concepts such as afterlife.

It all depends on your definition of rationality: if you "think" about it, there's no reason to fear death. But if your entire physical being had a say, as it should, as we are more than just pure thought, death is the antithesis of life itself, and must be avoided at all cost.
Well, one can also get through a book by reading a quarter of an hour a day.
Huberman talks authoritavely on things he does not understand for a living. Too bad its being done with guilt by assocciation, but good riddance.
> When you're in a rough spot emotionally, it's easy to believe things that aren't true.

I generally agree with this, but don't you think that someone can come to a rational decision that life is not worth living for them? I'm curious what your stance on euthanasia is.

Life is hard. We never asked to be born, yet are forced to endure the hardships of life, which can be unbearable to some people. Not only are hardships wildly different for everyone, but our coping mechanisms are also different.

We can never truly understand what life is like for someone else, so saying you understand how they're feeling is indeed a platitude. I know it comes from a good place, but we shouldn't assume that the person is delusional.
How are you going to ensure that in a real emergency no time is lost digging up the secret piece of information of breaking the layer of protection?

By the time you've done that the accident has already happened.
I hear you.
But it can, and likely will, change eventually.

New experiences change perspective if nothing else.

Being young, naive and confused wasn't all that great if you ask me.

I have no idea why some people have to go through this process though...

That was my first thought as well. I’ve had researchers running an in-house built Fortran program in the field of genetics on our HPC clusters, such that they’d run their task as 1000s of jobs in the cluster each operating on a small segment of data instead of a single program making use of as many cores available in the system.
Perhaps, newer Fortran would’ve done it, but the old software was still reliant on old Fortran.
No, that's just copyright infringement. You use the license as a contract in order to use the code without infringing on copyright.

If you don't adhere to the conditions in the license, the license is revoked, and you're back to copyright infringement, with all the consequences.
Exactly, beware prescriptivist hogwash.
Regardless of opinions surrounding Jan 6, I find it re-assuring that even with full face captured on photo, and the fact that many have a smartphone with them, the FBI is incapable of finding several of them after 2.5 years. I thought the surveillance state was more mature than that.
How many years to senior engineer?
I worked on the ParSys SuperNode in the early 90's, a 96-Transputer machine with a reconfigurable network switch that meant that any 4-regular graph could be realised in hardware.

So the network of transputers could be anything you wanted ... you could configure it to suit your problem.

I learned Occam and wrote some programs for it, but one of my main tasks was to port the NAG serial ForTran library to the machine. If it was going to be used for scientific work, that was regarded as essential.

I remember one occasion when running an "ls" command on a directory not only crashed the machine, but wiped the hard-drive. The OS at the time was a home-grown unix-a-like, and the internal tables for "ls" were fixed size. The NAG library had do many files in a directory, the tables were overflowed and system memory got over-written. The machine was on the network, although it wasn't possible to login remotely, so to use it you had to be in the room. It got to the point where when people saw me coming they backed up all their work across the network and logged off ... they knew it wouldn't be long before the machine would crash and need a hard restore.

The T800 series didn't have memory protection, and didn't have floating point, so using it for scientific calculations seemed doomed. Worse, every time someone brought be a program for parallelisation, I could refactor it and get a 100 to 10,000 times speed-up on a serial machine ... the parallel machine wasn't needed.

It was a beautifully conceived machine, and I desperately wanted it to succeed, but it ended up being nibbled to death by circumstances and never found the niche it needed.

I still occasionally thumb through some of the books I have. Possibly I should donate them to a computing museum.

Or sell them.
SPA sense. It’s cobbled together because I just have fun with it. Not sure why it’s temperamental, haven’t bothered investigating.
Maybe, but there's no point in half-assing it like this.

Is Annas-archive legal in your country? Even if it is, is it moral? If it isn't, why are you comfortable breaking those laws, but when the time comes to support the site, and put your money where your mouth is, suddenly there are laws that are necessary to follow?
I'm curious to know how many people you get paying for something like your "Magical one-liners", and also whether you've ever experimented with a "choose to pay after" model?

I ask because it's the kind of thing that I can imagine finding useful enough to pay $5 (or $15) for, but I can also imagine it being something that contains nothing I don't already have saved in my personal "one liners" file, so I'm not really interested in paying to find out.
Germany is a big user of the trick "lemme change the unit from €/kg to €/100g in this part of the shop", for example at the cheese counter, which is what the parent is saying. It was the same trick used in the UK.
I believe it comes from a european rules which allows such labeling if the packaging is small.

In France it is always labelled in €/kg or €/L consistently through the shop.
It may not alleviate the need for sleep altogether, but if you meditate a lot, like 10 hours a day, you can function well long-term with very little sleep.
Thanks for the feedback! It’s also cost me about $15 so far. I don’t think I’ll do that again, but it was fun as a demo!
Firefox has a built-in method to get around context menu blocking by holding down the "shift" key while right clicking. I wish there were similar built-in overrides for things like blocking selecting text and copying, you commonly find stuff like this on corporate blogs or lyric sites where they want to "protect" their text content, of course you can just get around it by opening the page HTML and copying from there.
Six months of crashes in Ubuntu – Alan Pope's blog
Here in Belgium the system is possible the most permissive in the world. People can fairly easily get a doctor to euthanize them due to a loss of quality of life, even for purely mental issues. I recall a rape victim, young woman with a husband and young kids who did this. One of the victims of the airport bombings here in Brussels chose euthanasia because she couldn't overcome the mental trauma of that day. People who are paralyzed for life (but basically stable) ... the list goes on.
The end game is a political crisis. Chinese peopple tolerated the semi-dictatorship of the CCP while the economy appeared to be booming. If the economy collapses there's going to be a very unpleasant - likely violent - crisis of legitimacy.

It's one reason China is pushing a BRICs currency. If China can print its way out of this disaster there's some hope of mitigation - messy, but not fatal.

If that doesn't happen there's a good chance of a financial and political implosion, with possible Western contagion.
Fortran 90+ has strong support for parallel programming, including MPI, OpenMP, CUDA and OpenAPI (for GPU).
I played one of those once! You got in this pod, I think it was called a Tesla pod. Screens surrounded you in every direction, a bit like an SGI CAVE, and you had what looked like real mech controls in front of you.

It cost an arm and a leg to play, and I lost right away. But for about 30 seconds, it was amazing!

It's definitely a marketing strategy. "Our technology is so good it might destroy the world. So we're letting you use it for 19.99 a month." It's just a completely inconsistent position. Who benefits from the government saying only openAI and a few other companies can make this stuff? Would openAI rather talk about the (non-existent) existential threat of AGI or actual problems with their technology like data privacy issues and the amount of power their bullshit consumes?
Compared to David Senra, Charlie Munger, Elon Musk, or Jeff Bezos, I haven't read so much yet. So to answer your question, for example, you can see David's recommendations at https://world.hey.com/davidsenra. Mine would be:

- Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire. It gives a nice insight into the fact that Bill is ruthless and obsessed with winning. If you want to start a company, then this is what you're up against unless you find your niche.

- Chip Wars. Gives a nice overview of the history of chips and Morris Chang. Morris Chang has said in a talk that he couldn't have written the book better himself, as reported by Asianometry.

- Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green. Buffett always said that being a businessman made him a better investor and being an investor made him a better businessman. If you want to found a company, then it's probably good to understand the basics of investing and how good investors think. Richer, Wiser, Happier, as bad as the title sounds, gives a good overview of value investors. In the end, value investing is the name of the game. A large part of it boils down to looking through thousands of opportunities and only striking if you have a massive advantage. This idea works for creating things too.

If you don't want that last book, then go for Peter Thiel's book Zero to One.
you probably don’t fear your job loss because you’re still generating a bunch of shit your PMO is still confused by.
That’s the game developers are going to be playing for a while I think.
>Nope. You're just free-riding on taxes paid by other hard-working people, nothing is "free".

Tokyo's trains are paid by user fares, not taxes. You obviously know nothing about Japan.

>In the state where I live, most of road maintenance is done with taxes based on road usage

The taxes don't come from the drivers. Try putting tolls on all the highways and see what happens.

>Basically, we just need to double the average occupancy of cars (easily doable with mild carpooling and van-type self-driving taxis), and they'll be more efficient than even subways.

This is stupid. They've tried carpooling for decades in the US and it hasn't gone anywhere. Turns out that it's just too inconvenient when everyone is so spread out.

>I know exactly how much transit sucks compared to cars in well-designed cities.

You've never lived in a well-designed city.
You can put pillows on the side to make it harder for you to roll on your side or stomach while asleep. It can also help alleviate some tension in the arms if you put them on top of it.

Depending on the mattress, you might have to put a pillow under your knees. Sometimes I don't and my legs begin to feel uncomfortable, and sometimes I can sleep just fine without support for my legs.
My question is - how DO you convince management to let you try Kanban?

We would like to try but we can't, as "everyone else here does Scrum so the problem is in you, not in the process".
Sorry, that should have had an /s appended (I thought it was obvious given the last sentence). Fixed.

Personally I've had it with the so called 'hackers'. They're just criminals. Oh and I think you meant to write 'lock' not 'look'.
Counting backwards from 200 and starting over is easy enough to be done almost mindlessly, but at the same time hard enough to make you concentrate and thus keep your mind from wandering.
>In fact it's too simple to use in any real production enviroment, especially when compared to some other mature logging library.

Yeah, why keep it simple in production, when we can overcomplicate things.
The worst programmers I know are the busiest.

We’re already in this world. Seriously develop and app with Django and tell me how much actually “code” you write ?

I’ve been a developer for almost 2 decades and the coding part of the job is about 5% of my time :) The rest is stopping people from building stupid shit they don’t need to build and trying to make sense of “the business”

With generative AI, you can have all the stupid code you want in 1/1000th of the time :) :)

For me personally, we invented computers so we can spend time at the beach…ever seen the early Apple computer ads ? We shouldn’t be writing code constantly if we’re doing our jobs properly. We should be enjoying our lives which technology should be working and affording us the time to do so.
Sadly, given the current situation, we'll probably have to migrate from the current (easy to use and available) system to something more secure (and fragile).

Some people will die, but if that happens again there's not much choice.

>Men today have 50% lower sperm count compared to 1970.

Sperm count/testosterone level is strongly correlated with body weight; if you account for how much fatter people are nowadays the reduction is much less (e.g. compare a healthy weight person from 1970 to now). Similarly a lot of the reduction in fertility is explained by people nowadays being fatter.
I like SST.

I would do SST/node/htmx since that’s where I feel most comfortable/productive.
One place where you can easily use ADA syntax is any database that implements ANSI SQL/PSM, and there are many.

"SQL/PSM is derived, seemingly directly, from Oracle's PL/SQL. Oracle developed PL/SQL and released it in 1991, basing the language on the US Department of Defense's Ada programming language."
