> When you say "there aren't insider trading rules like there are for equities" Do you mean there aren't any at all or that they are different?

Closer to non-existent. Same for foreign exchange.

> different rules like "primary" players are allowed but "secondary" players aren't allowed

Trying to delineate markets this way is how Enron became a quasi hedge fund while many banks busy themselves running warehouses. One set of rules is simpler and more efficient, particularly for something as utilitarian as commodities, where you're concerned with efficiency more than fairness.

> the CEO can't use insider info to front run pork futures before the McRib comes back

I don't think there would be a commodities violation in this. There could be a securities violation, in that the CEO is misappropriating gains that belong to the shareholders they have a fiduciary obligation to.
The playground was the most glaring example that I can recall without going back. Children go into playgrounds and stay there for a period of time. Parents go there and stay to watch there children. It is a space in which people stay and do activity. It is not a space people pass through.

The time-based thing is not without merit, but it's going to apply to metaphysical spaces; puberty and menopause, for instance, are brief periods of time that all people or half the people occupy for a short while in transition from one phase to another. The playground is a permanent space that everyone occupies at all times of their lives, on and off (grandparents, teachers, etc) and is not transitional, other than the transition from boredom to amusement perhaps, but you're really stretching if that's your thesis.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off overly critical but this is a personal bugbear of mine. The concept is getting buried in a torrent of abusive barbarisms. We learned when I was studying English at uni that liminal characters are generally disliked, because they are unsettling in their inability to occupy any space properly, while simultaneously being a complete whole with life and agency.
But where is Beakes?
If they can get the interconnect working that issue goes away (its mostly groundstation bandwidth limiting things).

The 'end goal' is to have it use the laser link to send the traffic across to a satellite close to the final destination, that should in theory help massively redistribute the ground station traffic.

It's obviously not foolproof, there's still bandwidth to be shared there but using a combination of some clever routing you could theoretically spread traffic across multiple satellites and groundstations with minimal latency impact.
How does low neuroticism contribute to physical attractiveness?
Ignorance of the law when you could have known is no defense. If the law is copyrighted and payment is required to even know it, that changes things.

The primary question to me is whether the risk of data breech outweighs the harm from not keeping the data, and while 20 years ago this tradeoff may have made sense, I'm not so sure it makes sense now.
> it's foolish to assume that the outcome is moral by construction

I believe it's also foolish to assume the outcome of forcing people to transit signal harmful to them is moral.

The nice thing about the status quo is we can address this problem with our own choices: if one doesn't like HE's behavior, for instance, one can de-peer from HE. The 'net can interpret censorship as damage and route around it, as it were.

I'm not so much in favor of authoritarianism as individual sovereignty, and sometimes the "individual" is a corporation or large association. But so long as it can be routed around, it's fine (and if it cannot be routed around, we have antitrust for that). But consider Mastodon, where individual users are continuously deciding who to follow and who to block and node operators are continuously deciding similar questions at the node-to-node peer level. It's beautiful chaos, not authoritarianism. What business would the State of California have dictating to every Mastodon admin the rules of their node (or, for that matter: ¿cui bono? from the state even tracking those policies? Maybe it's none of the state's damn business who I let on my node and who I peer / de-peer from.
Isn't the fact that the private standard is becoming law compensation enough? The company that wrote/owns the standard will certainly experience economic benefits from having its work enshrined in law.

Certainly the company should have to agree: the government should not just be able to assume the company will be ok with it. But presumably in this particular case, the companies that wrote these particular fire protection and electrical standards did so because they wanted them to eventually have legal force.
They are now. For the first year or so of the war Elon was providing the service free of charge. The contract from DoD to support Ukraine apparently only dates to June 2 2023 [0].

Quoting: "Back in February, it emerged that Starlink had taken unidentified steps to prevent Ukrainian forces from using its satellite service for what the company regarded as unacceptable purposes, such as to remotely control drones.

At the time, SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell said that Starlink was never meant to be weaponized, but claimed that 'Ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement.'

This may have had something to do with Russia issuing a warning to the United Nations that commercial satellite systems like Starlink risked becoming legitimate military targets by allowing their services to be used in warzones."

That's from the Register. There was another article at Defensescoop [1] that had discussion on hacker news here. [2]

Can nvim read it natively or do you need to transpile it?
My biggest problem with TOML is absence of `null` values. Null is fundamental in describing missing or undefined values. Especially problematic are (numeric) arrays with missing values. JSON has null as the first-class object. In TOML world the recommended work-around is to use empty key-value object `{}` in place of a null. Kind of a hack. Makes replacing JSON with TOML tricky.

We live in a very rural area. The one time the federal government really came through for me was fiber development grants a few years ago.

We went from Wild Blue internet, which was garbage all around, for $120/mo to a full gig fiber connection locked in at $80/mo for life. It cost us $200 to hook it up.

More and more rural isp's are getting into fiber with grants.
It was ridiculous. So a bottle of water, say, was something like $7 in the mini bar, and then there was a "$50 restocking fee" on top if you took anything out of the minibar in a certain day. Naturally, all minibar use was immediately banned when I discovered this ;-)

The "fundamental problem" is the breakdown of community (drug abuse being primarily being a function of the existence or lack of interpersonal involvement and responsibilities that would preclude spending time and money on them). People who are comfortable huddling in their cars, homes, and exclusive social clubs, and who would rather spend money on cops rather than social programs, aren't going to like the fix for that.

Oh I don't doubt that there are various inefficiencies, but I dispute the characterization that this inefficiency is "wrong". I think it's clear by now that there's not "1 text format to rule them all", whether we're talking XML, JSON, HTML, SGML, TOML, YAML, JSON, RFC 2822, CSV, or whatever. Depending on your use case, one of these is better than the others. Like I definitely don't want to serialize objects into TOML. I also definitely don't want to deal with JSON for configuration.

> ...but a schema can catch that stuff.

100%; it's amazing to me the number of projects that essentially accept arbitrary structures and/or values here. I think no matter whether you're using YAML/TOML/JSON/etc. you oughta be using something to validate.
Tailscale works great, yeah.

Yup, exactly. OTC allergy meds are often an improvement; I certainly notice if I forget to take them.

Yeah, I wish we had one-party recording rules.

I had a bunch of idiotic debt collectors after me in dealing with my mother's estate. (*None* of them listened to the simple instruction that it's an estate issue, file with such-and-such court.

Unfortunately, I live in a state that's all-party with regards to phone calls even though we're one-party in person.

I didn't realize lua was a proper language until I learned that's what factorio uses for its mods.
The issue is that there is no issue other than the title being wrong in a triggery way - as you personally know, people care about this sort of thing a lot but in this case it was a simple mistake by the poster. I emailed the mods and they fixed it. The other thing was fixed by the makers of this thing three years ago.

Let's make it stick by wrapping up here.
OP asked for best way, not easiest
Surely firing N people is at most linear time. Possibly lower, if you can get economies of scale by caching the paperwork.
From other website:

"While Google has been in cost-cutting mode since last year, Alphabet reported a 7% increase in second-quarter revenue, which was better than analysts expected"
My understanding is that it's simply historically fallen into the niche. Lua early on was relatively easy to embed in C codebases, making it a natural fit for scripting C (or C++) game engines and their editors. So many hugely popular game development tools are scripted with Lua at this point that it's somewhat breaking the mold to use anything that _isn't_ Lua in this domain.
The same could be said about the other drivers on the map and I disagree that IPC mechanisms are not a core part of what a kernel should offer.

I made a seat map for a stadium here in New Zealand about 7 years ago using Phaser. It’s still in use today.

It’s nothing spectacular, nor is it particularly well built, but it was a solution I successfully proposed as my first job at a local web development agency which was already half way done trying to build the seat map with HTML map and area tags.

if anyone uses godot, an example i'd like to see is raindrops falling into a puddle, viewed from the top, like the old screensavers. I tried using GPT to do it in 2 engines, pygame and unity. The pygame version kinda worked, but everything felt and looked slightly off.

I have a mighty need for something that can quickly render frames of arbitrary pixels. Ideally a line at a time for smoothness. I also had this working - kinda - in pygame, but after 2.5 screens worth of lines being drawn it gives up.

Looking at the godot documentation, it would be nice to see something non-trivial and arbitrary expressed as code.
Schindler's list is pathetic. It was a good movie until the scene where Schindler leeds the people with a flag in its hands. This was desgusting.

Wonder how likely is it that this is because of AI taking over the jobs. Sifting through resumes, contacting candidates, schedule some interviews, connect the hiring manager to the candidate, even getting some extra information from the candidate via email or phone calls are all things an LLM can efficiently do. They may actually do it even better than a regular human since they might "know" more about the role and the technical requirements than an average HR clerk...
GPT-4chan (or whatever it was called) was removed from HuggingFace for being too toxic.

This has some interesting implications. The more conspicuously-racist and DIE-noncompliant you appear to be, the more resistant these companies are to including you in their training data.
TOML config files are used heavily in my product for developer-facing features. I personally think it's the cleaner compared to YAML + JSON.

It also benefits from being easier to copy + paste configs from docs since the entire path is included in each block; users don't have to worry about setting up the correct hierarchy.

Regardless, I strongly agree with points #1-#3. I also wish there was a way to support something similar to inline YAML schemas to catch users' typos in their IDE.

I would love to use HCL or potentially Ion, but IDE support and widespread acceptance isn't strong enough yet.
Half the reason US started the semi war against PRC was because they knew it's pretty much that simple provided work force is culturally compatible. Ditto with foreign fab projects expanding in PRC at the time - without requirement of crazy subsidies to draw them in (big funds was for domestic indy). Industry assumed, PRC with right equipment and a few years of poaching TSMC, Samsung and whatever incumbent talent would be sufficient to get ball rolling. SKR basically did that from TW talent. IMO US can replicate east asian fabs quickly if it can replicate east asian work culture because that's the only way east asian fab owners knows how to run said fabs. They're not interested changing, because they weren't interested in expanding to US in the first place, since the business case never made sense. Huawei (possibly SMIC) 7nm did it in a few years with hands tie behind back.
Probably since you can embed it in other languages quite trivially. For instance, in C after about a dozen lines of code you can now pass around data into Lua and back to C and thus give you access to a scripting language with little fuss. It’s also a fairly small and simple language, so adding it in won’t add much more to the overall footprint of the project.
The hackers may regret it when Vinny and Tony pay them a visit.

I don't know the details but I think executable files are mapped into memory, and needed sections are loaded on demand. In case the system is low on RAM, little used sections can be evicted, to be reloaded the next time they are needed. This requires the file to be present on disk.

"Qualifying customers may be eligible for credits toward the Unity Runtime Fee based on the adoption of Unity services beyond the Editor, such as Unity Gaming Services or Unity LevelPlay mediation for mobile ad-supported games. "

Either way they appear to be trying corral devs into using their advertising software. LevelPlay is IronSouce.

Combine this with their Gaming services. And they would control your backend. They would get a share of ad revenue directly, because it's their ad network.

At that point (this is just my opinion) you're just sort of their employee but without the benefits.
Our index access method will be called lantern_hnsw if pgvector or any other provider has already taken the hnsw access method name.

btw, we did not create our own vector type and just use size-enforced real[] arrays to represent embeddings. However, you can use our index with pgvector's vector type.
So, if you already have a table with pgvector's vector column type, you can start using Lantern by just creating an index on the same column.

That not a stupid question. It's a bit (ha!) more complex. These are called pits and lands.

> The pits and lands do not directly represent the 0s and 1s of binary data. Instead, non-return-to-zero, inverted encoding is used: a change from either pit to land or land to pit indicates a 1, while no change indicates a series of 0s. There must be at least two, and no more than ten 0s between each 1, which is defined by the length of the pit. This, in turn, is decoded by reversing the eight-to-fourteen modulation used in mastering the disc, and then reversing the cross-interleaved Reed–Solomon coding, finally revealing the raw data stored on the disc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_disc#Physical_details

These encoding types are used to improve the "tracking" of the laser head, and to keep the timing consistent. We want the medium to regularly have changes between pits and lands to synchronise the timing and speed of the disc. The encoding scheme enforces this.
