This kind of question is meaningless, and I’m pretty sure it comes from the old view of neurons being somewhat akin to a 1-1 or many-1 digital switch (it isn’t).

In fact, we currently don’t even know the full extent of the types of neurons in the brain or the way they function and interact [1]

There are neurons that only fire when a certain percentage of their inputs are stimulated, some that have a temporal component to their firing and more.

In all the computer neural net research I read I never saw an implementation that truly explored or implemented more than a few types (like 3-4) of neuronal input and only one type of output

I once lived in a condo with a crappy Ikea dishwasher.

It did a poor job washing the dishes, made lots of noise, and the arm kept falling off.

The fix for the poor washing was so simple: buy cheap Costco dish pods in bulk for CAD 10 (12-13 now) for around 100 pods and just jam two pods in there. Add rinse-aid and voila, sparkling dishes from cheap equipment.

I once had a job as a commercial dishwasher, and those machines did the same thing in about a single minute. Of course the chemicals were harsh and the temperature was high.

At a certain point, you’re pretty much asking for socialism. No one should be obligated to build an entire operating system that works on billion combination of potential parts, and then cater to everyone else so that they get the native experience in every way integrating with the OS.

Obviously, I want the best experience as an end-user. But I think it’s ridiculous, at a certain point you should have to invest the billions of dollars to build your own equivalent operating system. You really can’t expect all of that. Microsoft already has a pretty flexible system.

Maybe there is a business model for that massive investment. I don’t think that 100% native integration for third party applications is a big draw to most people. It’s mostly something people complain about on this forum.

Proof of that is Apple. It’s relatively inflexible, and people seem to like it quite a bit. They are doing very well. Then there’s also Linux but then people complain things aren’t tightly integrated enough.

Basically people want to have their cake and eat it too on someone else’s 1 billion dollar investment.

Ask HN: Distributed Solution for Family Pictures?
I'm a cloud engineer expecting my first child in a few weeks and I'm trying to find a good way to semi-privately share pictures with family members located across the globe. (Parents/Grandparents)

Ideally I would like 5-6 digital picture frames I can setup/distribute as gifts, and a way to singularly upload a picture(s) that will cast to all devices. The ability to remotely manage the frames would be a nice bonus.

Is there already a solution to this?

A Google photo or Facebook album might accomplish a private share, but I would rather something self-hosted and/or physical.

It of course depends on what you need, what you’re doing. The cubic Bézier curves with handles are probably the best thing for animation curves, specifically because having handles allow you to break the continuity of the curve, and change direction suddenly. Animators need this when tweaking motion curves on a timeline. Think of abrupt changes in speed, like with collisions.

Splines with tangent handles are much better for font design as well, than splines without handles.

Splines defined by points and not tangents are useful for different reasons, and they’re not great if you want to have sharp changes of angle. You can do it by duplicating control points, but that causes some math mayhem in some situations.

In computer graphics people use the “Catmull-Rom” spline a lot, which is a type of interpolating spline that goes through the control points. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_Catmull–Rom_spline

People also use the B-spline as well, which is smoother and nicer than the Catmull-Rom spline, but it’s an approximating spline that doesn’t usually go exactly through the control points. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-spline

Both of these get used in CG for hair and fur - which is a good example of an application of curves that doesn’t require sharp angles along the splines.

> unless you work in the rare place where they actually start over after the prototype.

Every line of code will last some amount of time. Some lines will be maintained in production for decades. And others will be thrown out in a few weeks. For example, if I’m mocking up a UI, the css I write won’t outlast the mock-up. Or doing a game jam. Or prototyping a different way to structure some code.

Unit tests are useful for long lived code but they slow down your capacity to do scrappy iterations. Whether you need to prioritise short term velocity or long term reliability depends on the needs of the project you’re working on.
The EU is a sort of suis-generis cross between a government and an international organization and is very much unlike the US Federal Government. It’s quite standard for employees of certain international organizations not to pay national taxes in the host country, as my other examples show. The reason behind this is simply to avoid certain conflicts of interest and squabbles between member countries over who gets the tax revenue, not some kind of conspiracy against the ‘little people’.

When your solution to not wanting to write tests for important behavior is to trick yourself into wanting to by adding extra layers of code for no other reason, maybe the rule stopping you from doing it was wrong.
I don’t think you shouldn’t comment your code, but in my experience, good code doesn’t need much, if any, comments.

This is because I define “good code” as simple code. If code gets to the point that it needs to be explained with comments, then there’s a good chance there is opportunity for simplification.

In other words, if I can’t read code and follow what it’s doing — or why it’s doing it — then I won’t ask them to add comments, but to instead refactor/simplify the code. (This is assuming the code can’t be made more readable with simple name changes, which a lot of times is all that is needed.)

Yes, there are times when the “why”, even with simple code, needs to be explained. Comments in this case are fine. But ideally this is the exception and not the norm.
The width of the boat doesn't matter too much, surprisingly. It's mostly the length. From the waterline length you can guess how fast a ship is, regardless of the displacement. It's part of why the rumors that the Nimitz class can go 45 knots aren't believed by most people who know a bit about naval engineering: it doesn't matter much how much power the ship has, it's not going to go much faster.

Here's how...

1. Find out where the Edge executable is; copy its path.

2. Open 'Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security'

3. Select Inbound Rules (Left pane).

3.1 Click on 'New Rule' (Right pane)

3.2 Set the type of rule to Program, click Next and paste the exe path and delete the quotation marks. Click Next.

3.3 Set the Action to 'Block the connection' and then select where this rules applies (select all three options). Click Next.

3.4 Specify a name (and an optional description) for the rule.

Done!

I also made a blocking outbound rule, but I don't think it's necessary for this purpose.

Sorry for being pedantic, it's 45.45%, but the real issue is that 38% of people have paid off their mortgage. If you take 62% of $44T, you end up with $27.28T, and if you have an outstanding debt of $24T, that looks really fucking bad.
Could you please elaborate, are you saying taking aspirin was better than the garlic?
I find the opposite wrt. refactoring - that is to say integration tests are _more_ robust to refactoring than unit tests, and that's one of the reasons I strongly prefer them.

Unit tests are deeply coupled to the internal structure of your system - refactoring often implies changing unit tests, which opens the door to bugs where the code and test both change to match each other.

As you say, integration tests validate your public API, which from a 'correctness' point of view is really the only thing you care about, not the internal structure of the system. That's why I love integration tests, you can make sweeping refractors without needing to change the tests, because the test will still tell you whether the behaviour of the whole system is correct.
The thing is that those dumber tools can do smarter things than IDEs.

I had 2 use cases lately - one was to investigate usage of all function bodies that used specific library for the last 6 months. JetBrains IDE has semantic search but it requires a lot of fiddling (syntax feels very foreign, might be Groovy thing or their own DSL and doesn’t span across multiple commits.

Second was to navigate through a custom pre-transpiration layer, which JetBrains could pick up around 30% of the times.

Those are two cases solved quickly with list refiltering (first one took 15 minutes, second took less than 3). And they were portable, as sharing was a simple copy & paste.

The gist of it is that dumb and smart is marketing thing. ripgrep is dumb tool just as fzf is, but they can be made into a very smart setup.

IDEs can make high general work impact but from my experience suck badly when you enter road less traveled.

Or another solution would be just to take a hit on efficiency and not produce highly concentrated brine as a water product. If instead we extract just a bit of fresh water out and return saltwater with slightly elevated salt concentration then it wouldn’t be so lethal to marine life.

Or we could have a premix station where we pump in sea water and mix it with brine at a certain ratio and then return that to the sea.
I agree about the rough taste in general. I've made it a habit to try as many different canned coffees as I can when visiting Japan (and every "black" coffee I saw), and looking back at my notes, I felt like "Premium BOSS Black" was quite good, and "UCC Black New Grounds Fruity Blend" and "UCC Black Wholly Brewed" were both decent, compared to most of the other black coffees.

I think when you are such a proficient user of some technology you don't even realize how many mistakes you can make along the way. And some small annoyance that you don't even notice might be a burden and a day-long struggle for someone less experienced.

As an example of such a behavior on Windows. My customers (too often) complain that my console-based program suddenly stopped and they tried everything and can't make it to restart.

The problem is that they don't realize that selecting some text in the window blocks the stdout and the program won't continue until they remove the selection.

So for a more experienced user it's nothing, but for someone new to terminal behavior it's a huge obstacle.

On Linux you have much more traps like that.

The answer is yes, I think it is better. Personally I’m just not prepared to take Aspirin for more than a few days. So garlic for me. Also I think that anyone who is already on blood thinning medication should consult their doctor.

I'm happy if I can request a song or an action, or anything else in the same way i might ask another human who doesn't know me intimately.

> some of the poorest, most vulnerable people

That is a strawman you introduced into the conversation. Most cities in the west are planned around cars. I’ve been to a few of the largest cities in the US and don’t think those 6-lane highways were clogged with “the poorest most vulnerable people”. You see the same patterns in south america.

This is really about the average car-centric culture, consumption patterns, the system of centralized food distribution through massive supermarket chains. It’s about urban planning, incentives, regulations and public policies, not lords vs servants. Note that I didn’t suggest individuals should stop driving to fight climate change, these changes can only start happening at a much higher level.

The EPA says emissions from transportation are responsible for 29% of all pollution [1]. This is a bigger slice than industrial pollution, and 58% of it coming from light vehicles, 28% from trucks (including the ones that supply these supermarkets, and not accounting for the diesel used to bring our bananas, garlic and olive oil by sea from across the world).
