Press the key to the left of 1 (not the numpad) or the right of the Eszett (sharp S) on the German QWERTZ keyboard and you probably hit a dead key. There are dedicated keys for the German umlauts and Eszett but these are for French accents in loan words: â, á and à, e.g. as in Café.

It's worth mentioning of course that there are no-dead-keys variants of the keyboard layout but this has been pretty much the norm on Windows since the 1990s I think.

Of course I'm open to debate point 2, as I can surely be wrong. but it still has nothing to do with this conversation ;)
There are at least three issues:

* It's not just one, two, or several satellites:

BlueWalker 3 is the most brilliant recent addition to a sky that is already swarming with satellites.

The spaceflight company SpaceX alone has launched more than 5,000 satellites into orbit, and companies around the globe have collectively proposed launching more than half a million satellites in the coming years — a scenario that astronomers fear could hamper scientific observations of the Universe.

* There's more than just extremely narrow Field of View work going on.

Many people like wide FoV shots, the moon and other objects (at various times of year) is a popular wide target. The satellites impact "Fireballs" telemetry which now has a global network from humble beginnings here in W.Australia and looks for light streaks to zero in on recoverable meteorites.

http://fireballsinthesky.com.au/

* Telemetry | Communications satellites muddy up interesting parts of the radio spectrum. They don't always STFU crossing designated quiet zones, for example:

https://www.atnf.csiro.au/projects/askap/ARQZWA.html

and, just on a personal note, for those people that live in areas with zero light pollution and stunning views of the night sky that they've enjoyed for decades .. that's been pretty much lost now that the blinken lights have invaded the last corners of the planet.

At risk of derailment isn’t this a much better fit for Rust? I am saying this as someone who has used both extensively professionally and prefer Go in most cases.

If you’re dropping GC, then RAII is extremely useful (which Go doesn’t have). If you’re dropping runtime concurrency, Go’s (subjectively) strong multitasking, cancelation, timeouts go away. And finally, if you’re dropping std, which is perhaps the strongest suit of Go, then what are the remaining strengths of Go vs Rust? Tooling? Compile time speed?

TLDR a simple subset of Rust (enums, pattern matching, RAII, etc) sounds appealing, but a simple subset of Go seems quite… limiting. That said, I’m not an embedded programmer.
I saw once one :) For a very short time, the German computer retail chain "Vobis" would sell Dec Alpha machines with Windows NT 3.1. Too bad that didn't expand later on. It would have been great for the computer market, if more competition to Intel had existed longer.
If you have to design for pathological workloads, absolutely you can write to a location in main memory 30 times per millisecond.

Lots of non-pathological workloads might write to a memory location every millisecond, such as a game with a 4-pass renderer running at 240Hz.
I don't particularly care to learn, to be honest.

I'm only willing to trust such tools with trivial problems, e.g. I'll ask ChatGPT about some generic snippet I'm sure it's seen in the training data and that would take me 5 mins to type out.

If I have to do prompt engineering to get the model to spit out acceptable output for trivial shit, that's not a model I can trust even for said trivial shit.
Well you know, Germans are ruthless optimizers. They just tend to optimize for the wrong objective functions, and the wrong constraints. Also the wrong time frames.

There's also a Weird Al piece "I think I'm a clone now", for which an AI clone voice performance would definitely be fitting. (The original song was "I think we're alone now" by Tommy James and the Shondells, but it seems Weird Al was parodying the cover by Tiffany in the 1980's.)

While Weird Al himself asks for permission, it's well established that parody is not copyright infringement. There should be room for parody performances by AI voices as well, especially if argued by a good lawyer.

It is not how it works. First, they haven’t really made yet a verified discovery. They may be into something but years may pass before it will be designated as a scientific breakthrough. Then their work must be considered influential enough so that they will be nominated by someone who can do that. Then they must be selected by the committee. It is a long journey and many other discoveries are being made along the way reducing their chances. So there’s absolutely no reason to think they could have received a Nobel Prize this year.
There is nothing dehumanizing about saying that any person in significant poverty, regardless of any membership in any demographic sector, should not have kids, because their kids are going to suffer.

I'll go a step further and share my personal belief that no one should have kids.

Children, while traditional, are nevertheless (and this fact seems to be inconvenient to many) optional. Every human has the choice available to them to not have children.

This article just complains about The Linux Foundaiton decision of reducing the LTS releases from 6 to 2 years but doesn't cite or analyse their reasoning. Why they did that? It may be worth complaining but the author should do better.
> "I’ve made hundreds of phone calls and e-mails, pleaded with physicians, pharmaceutical companies and clinical investigators. I’ve begged for appointments to establish care, open trial slots, opportunities to be screened for eligibility—really—for Jake’s life."

This just shouldn't be necessary. In 2023, we as a race should be able to figure out a better way to efficiently channel patients with needs towards clinical trials that might serve those needs.

(And I say this as someone who works in this industry.)
Better yet - Linux. Why would someone want windows to snoop on their trading? Let alone the poor performance of that OS.
> The death penalty isn't the problem here. We arguably still have an innocent person wasting away in prison, which is hardly much better than death.

There are a number of recourses to rectify wrongful imprisonment - none for death.

For example, there's elections every two(?) years - a new president or governor could commute the remaining sentence?

Given the choice between death and two years in prison - I know what I would prefer...
I don't talk about vaslui either. Even in big cities hospitals are bad, even private. Same story with education system, also should mention that you'll waste hours of your life in traffic bringing the child to the school, bc pub transport sucks too.
Food imo is subpar compared to Italy/France/Spain, both quality and taste, with few exceptions ofc. Romania's trains are bad too. Want to go from Cluj to say Iasi? best bet is either 6h car drive or 6h flight with layover in bucharest(with imo expensive price) or 9h train drive in subhuman conditions(bc usually max speed is abt 50km/h and most trains are from communist era). And this compared to France/Italy/Spain that have a lot of 200km/h+ trains, so that same distance could be covered in two hour train drive.
Similar experience is going from cluj to the romania's black sea. Also you have very few highways, so can't drive fast big chunks of the road. And I didn't even cover the quality, just recently a chunk of newly build highway broke down bc of corruption, and prior to that a newly bridge collapsed just before a bus full of kids was about to pass.
You get a cheaper life in eastern europe, maybe in some parts like Poland it's better than Romania, but make no mistake, it's a tradeoff, you get a cheaper life but with worse public infra on all levels. For some it's a good tradeoff, for others - not so much

I disagree. To me, Discord is a huge barrier. I use it when I have to. But it‘s bloated, slow and complicated. I don’t want to run it constantly because of that, and it takes very long to start up.

The machine I use is fairly recent btw. I get distracted and frustrated by slow programs. If you run enough of them, you get compounding issues. It’s not fun!

Aside from that, I do agree with GP 50%. However I absolutely use and promote proprietary software when it’s good quality.
I believe that in many cases judges have discretion to reverse a guilty verdict returned by a jury if there are problems with evidence. They can't do this later though - once the verdict is handed down they can't revise their verdict and sentence, as far as I understand. They also cannot do the reverse and unilaterally find the accused guilty over a jury that has voted to acquit.

The alternate theory was that the NSA forced the project to shutdown or become backdoored because they couldn't break it, and that was deemed unacceptable, resulting in the author deciding to call it quits (lavabit style) rather than compromise the application. The question then becomes "why is VeraCrypt allowed to exist"
You can add push notifications or whatever, the issue will be resolving the conflicts. I think the local-first ethos is valuable in situations (e.g. resilient communications a la reticulum network), but misses to address another bigger problem. Perhaps someone with knowledge on CRDTs, or data structures, knows better how much of timestamp this might be able to catch... maybe one day we have Transformers Models that take the data on both ends and just 'hallucinate' a merge that you can then manually intervene (in the case of code, run tests).., idk.

Single node database systems that are not horizontally scalable and that are not built on a distributed system foundation (e.g. Postgres) will certainly have scaling bottlenecks if you just add more and more complexity to the workload... however many modern database systems are built on a distributed system foundation with horizontal scaling and the ability to independently scale different constituent parts of the backend.. these engines should have no problem
It's cmake based, you can download cmake and the other dependencies and just compile it.

Edit: actually no, the networking bits have some platform specific #ifdefs. The code looks not too difficult to rewrite into a WinHTTP based client, though.
> Sometimes you need uninterrupted time for deep thinking, but that's in my experience a smaller part of the work. In such cases I either go to meeting rooms or home.

That's great until you are forced to come in on "anchor days" and there are no free meeting rooms left.
Having a great diet and exercise are easy when you’re not in the rat race. Super rats are able to do both but that requires fortitude, which a majority of the population lacks (lotta soft people these days).
Noob question, aren't the trillions of cycle including 'refreshing' read/write that wouldn't be necessary with persistent memory ?
Formatters can also readily spot and preserve patterns if you want them. You can shape the cost function to value patterns.

I suspect Walter formed this opinion when they were much worse.

Also formatters have enormous benefit when you have lots of people in the same project. It almost doesn't even matter what the format is as long as it's efficient IMO.
Friendly Captcha | Software Engineer Intern (or junior) | Hybrid REMOTE / ONSITE in The Netherlands | INTERN | Office in Utrecht, The Netherlands | https://friendlycaptcha.com

At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.

We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.

We’re a fast-growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.

We're accepting applications from talented and motivated interns who like to actually participate and build great things, not just fetch coffee or work on a nice-to-have project. This is a paid internship.

A great fit would be someone who loves to learn and who liked to learn and build things outside of their studies too.

Our engineering team is remote across Europe, but for this position we propose to meet in-person for work 3 days per week in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Fully remote is difficult (we think) for junior developers.

DEC's relationship with MS was fascinating

DEC sued MS due to Cutler's contribution to NT. DEC thought they could sue themselves into MS's good graces. They had embroidered polo shirts saying "Strategic Relationship", and saw several employees wearing them, and the phrase was repeated often

DEC couldn't figure out why Office performed worse on Alpha than x86. They sent an employee to MS, only to find MS had a single build server stashed under some desk. MS was compiling Office with -O0, obviously doing the absolute bare minimum to check a box and move on with their lives.

In Washington State escrow agents actually are attorneys -- but their practice is limited to one very specific area of law: real estate purchase contracts.

https://www.wsba.org/for-legal-professionals/join-the-legal-...

Because their practice area is so limited they don't have to go to law school, and their "bar" exam is much easier.

The flip side of this is that unlimited practice attorneys (i.e. "real lawyers") are automatically allowed to do everything that real estate agents and escrow agents are allowed to do.

While some teams confirmed superconductity in LK99 other teams got a negative result. The consensus amongst the solid-state community at the moment is the LK99 is NOT superconductive at room temperature.

How is that possible ? There are often many effects at play in Physics. Certain phenomena can be explained in other ways. There are often measurement issues, modelling issues and a haste to say "me too" as prestige and prizes are in play.

Surely HN or any human would root for room temperature superconductivity. It would be a massive technical progress. It is a pity that it did not pan out.

Until the widespread consensus is that LK99 is a room temperature superconductor and many teams are able to reproduce the result there is no chance a nobel prize will be awarded for this.

There usually a lag between a great discovery and a nobel. The prize committe is conservative that way. They want to make sure the science works out and they did not get carried away in the hype of the moment.
It is fascinating to me that some people work hard to remove telemetry, and others work hard to add it.

I see this sentiment often and I understand the idea, but how can you implement this "no doubt he did it, very clear cut case" level of guilt? We already have Guilty which is supposed to mean that guilt has been proven beyond reasonable doubt (or however it's phrased in each justice system).

Of course in the real world that's not always the case, but are you going to take two Guilty verdicts and say "A is kind of Guilty but not enough for the death penalty, however B is extremely Guilty and should be put to death"?

Or add a new verdict? Not Guilty, Guilty and Definitely Guilty?

What's interesting about graph is that it's really an ad hoc analytics use case ... it's not for operational / transactional.. this is what most people don't realize. If you have an at scale graph workload, like for example if you're facebook, you build your graph on top of an operational/transactional backend.. like in facebook's case heavily customized MySQL.

I bring this up because the ad hoc analytical use case for graph stores is so niche most engines haven't even seen enough demand to introduce it because you can always store graph relationships and offer retrievals in those engines to a limited depth which is typically sufficient for most operational / transactional use cases.

Governments and central banks have a few tools to mop up money:

1. Bond issues with regulatory changes of how much banks need to have
2. Change bank reserve requirements (the capital they need to have in reserve)
3. Change tax rates
4. Change interest rates (higher interest reduce demand of short term debt, for instance credit cards)
