A couple recommendations for your visualization:

1) More fine-grained bins to help show the shape of the distribution (are there performance cliffs?). Try using vertical lines to denote % cutoffs.

2) Given the wide range between your bins, a log scale might be a good idea instead of raw frequency.

3) Try some other method of visualization. I'm not sure a histogram is useful for what you're trying to convey, at least the way it's being used here.

As it stands, the visual information is so dominated by the 99.5% case that the plots don't help illustrate your tabular data.
> It's definitely safe that if you did like Shards that you then somehow won't like all the Miles books.

From context, I think some word-logic got reversed during the text-editing process here. I assume you meant: "It's safe to say that if you liked Shards the other books won't disappoint."

IMO the decision to skip to The Warrior's Apprentice should really hinge on how much you care about (A) knowing world-building and backstory and (B) getting references/jokes to the earlier novels.
You're right that this has been a goal since console emulation arose over two decades ago. There's been a lot of bad sprite art spawned over the past 20 years by people who've only ever used LCDs who thought they were recreating something "retro".

Only recently has anything really crossed a threshold of reproduction in software that looks and feels like using a CRT on certain types of displays.

We appreciate your interest, but we never gave an ETA. I do regret having made the intention public, though.

That’s a good point. As I wrote in another comment below: I’ve now updated the website template not to show the image with the slogan on this page. Thanks for the feedback.
> Including taxes in the sticker price is bad. It allows the government to quietly increase taxes without people noticing.

Oh please. When taxes go up, people notice. In California, new taxes have to be approved directly by voters, even. If you choose not to be civically engaged enough to notice new taxes, that's your problem.

This is the same dumb argument people use for not allowing the IRS to send us a pre-filled tax return. Instead, we flush billions of dollars a year down the toilet on tax prep.

> if it's so easy to "know" the local tax rate for various things, why isn't it easy to label them?

We know them generally enough to get by. That doesn’t mean calculating them precisely is a peach.

There have been stores that tried to differentiate on the basis of all-in pricing. It fails. Unless you’re paying cash or precisely monitoring spending, it doesn’t matter. (There is also a transparency argument in knowing how much is going to the business versus state.)

In summary, it’s not an issue for most Americans. (When I travel in Europe, having all-in prices doesn’t even remotely occur as a perk.) And there are ideological reasons that resonate with many Americans that are against it. Nobody to fight for it, a vocal minority against; seems like a silly hill to die on.
Well, it is a textbook -- one doesn't necessarily read a textbook from cover to cover. However, over the years I've certainly covered and re-covered large swathes of it. It is largely irrelevant for deep learning but its still the best reference I know of for the classic methods.

Yes, this effect is fascinating.

I've been playing de_dust2 for 20 years.

And in my mind the quality has always felt essentially the same, through CS, CS:Source, CS:GO and now CS2.

Each was a significant rendering upgrade. And I know I could never go back an iteration, but going forward as it has, the game in my mind's eye is just how CS looks and how it's always looked.

I'm the opposite about "retro" gaming though. Having experienced better fidelity and more readable fonts and better sound, I struggle to play games which don't have that, or worse, deliberately choose bad font rendering as a "retro" effect.

It's why one of my favourite games is Factorio, because it's almost the opposite of retro.

Despite being sprite based, it's the cutting edge of modern sprite rendering. The sprites are generated from 3d renders, and you don't find yourself suddenly in 640x480 or crappy fonts out of some nod to the ages.

Yes. I don’t know how, but she always has - bed at midnight, and she rises anywhere between midday and 4pm. I envy her amicability with Morpheus. I used to be able to sleep a decent amount, but I burned that part of my brain out during my startup days - I get by ok on six uninterrupted hours, but when my night is more like three two hour naps punctuated by stress, I start to disintegrate - as I learned in my startup days.

I have 16-ish acres in the Santa Cruz mountains. Between my property and the aging neighbors who I share a driveway, there is plenty of opportunity for different sizes of chainsaw. I also live in a redwood log cabin with more redwood and other large diameter trees on the property. I originally purchased the bigger chainsaw for some Alaskan milling but it has come in handy elsewhere.

I would not recommend this chainsaw to the uninitiated buyer. It’s a lot of chainsaw and you only need money to buy the thing. Seriously, I’ve mentioned it to seasoned loggers and they raise an eyebrow and say as much. If I didn’t do Alaskan milling I wouldn’t have enough acreage to justify it.
>Like I said, you can have a debate about how taxes are displayed on a price list

You can, but one side is going to be spouting garbage. Listing the actual total cost to the purchaser is so obviously better than not doing so.
Thank you!

I agree the specific approach is slightly rigid but I'm not specifically big on millions of users, if that makes sense.

The tiniest sliver of chill people would be delightful all the same haha :)
High-DPI OLEDs and CRT shaders are the answer for preservation, I think. Shaders can cover a hell of a lot of the nuance. Phosphor persistence (fade-out time?), light bleeding over into the next uh... thingie. We have the technology :)

the shaders may not be perfect yet, but it makes me happy that we have the option.

The observation that hardcore True Developers™ absolutely hate documentation chores is maybe reflected in low upvote and comment count on this thread.

But seriously, this is a good listing of pros and cons, and it is a pity not more experiences are shared. Commercial products usually pay good attention to the docs, but esp. FOSS projects are often severely under-documented. Model may be different here as often the single dev is the documenter too (and hates that chore). I tried Readme Driven Development [0] for a while, but found it still resource-intensive to keep things up-to-date. For single devs, small teams the Diátaxis framework [1] is helpful to organize and makes the task a bit lighter.

This is similar-ish to how Valve develops there games.

Each week they playtest the game with real people: so basicaly a small "demo" is used each week to see if the new features are actually good.

This is how they actually see asap if what they're doing is good or not.

Obviously the big picture has to be taken into account and this obviously won't work for all software.
Given the title, I would have expected a price/perf comparison across multiple tiers of servers. Focusing on two random (but similar) low performance instances makes it hard to generalize.
> How do they know how much tax to charge you when you buy?

Did you miss the part about it being calculated in the cart? That’s after you’ve made the decision to purchase, a decision which presumably included the price. I would refuse to give every vendor my address just to see a price.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but people in countries where sales tax is included in the price (which is virtually every other country in the world), are well aware of sales tax.

Many countries also exempt sales tax from essential groceries, which is not true for all US states. So the idea that the US model is somehow good for lower-income consumers is laughable.
If you're worried about "all" jailbreaks, then there's no need at all to use sideloading.

1 US cent = ~1.5 JPY. Putting the decimal point a couple digits over doesn't really change anything. If you really want to, you can tell people that you spent "100 cents" instead of "1 dollar". They'll probably look at you funny, though.

This happens a lot with apartment search engines. It used to just be a $10 trash fee or something but now they have gone so far as to add amenity fees. Good luck finding these fees on any website. So you go to view two different apartments listed at the same price online but one ends up having $50 in mandatory monthly fees and the other has $300.

Basically it should be illegal to not include any required monthly fee in an advertised price.
There's been a lot of "investigative" journalism but has there actually been a proper card to door processing done?

I was surprised to see this was free. On top of that, with an impressive feature set for an initial release. Considering Blackmagic’s reputation, this will easily beat any other half-baked camera apps or paid apps in no time. This is awesome for film school students.

Hotter or colder Europe is a minor problem. At least we have air conditioning.

If Africa becomes uninhabitable, everyone there will either die or migrate to Europe. Most EU coutries already hope that they drown crossing the Mediterranean. It's already happening, but the migration now is very low. When the migration will increase, I see WW2 repeating: concetration camps, genocide, shoot-them-at-the-border type of things.
Can someone please ask Blackmagic to have the app rotate and shoot landscape by default even if I have set my phone to never auto-rotate its orientation?

hackernews is about what's important to the one posting
One group always pushes the "nothing can be done" narrative because they've been making money hand over fist because of the way things are now and they don't want the status quo to change. Another group who jumps straight to "nothing can be done" have been conned by the first group into thinking that any deviation from the status quo is a trick by the devil to somehow take their freedom/property. Add in an unhealthy dose of American Exceptionalism and irrational fears of other countries and it means that there will always be somebody unwilling to consider adopting a good example set by people with a different flag or a funny accent. The rest of us are more frustrated than fascinated by the whole thing.

I'm undergraduate student studying Computer Science at the University of Minnesota and currently doing a software engineering internship. I have > 2 years of experience working with machine learning and software development (backend, infra, DB, Cloud) on high-impact projects, from early-staged startup to a big tech company. I'm interested looking for a internship position for summer 2024. Contact me if there is a position which I might be a good fit for and I would love to talk.
Final only protects the variable from being assigned a new reference (similar to a const pointer). It doesn’t protect any of the underlying data held by the object from being changed, unless the entire hierarchy has every field declared final as well. I still use final heavily in all of my Java code, but it doesnt convey the full intent I would like it to.
I don't see those cheap prices advertised everywhere. I see very high discounts in which the final price ends up being the same price as on Aliexpress.

Because government taxes and fees are a constant rate (given a particular good and location, anyway).

If I'm price-comparing hotels, and I see one that's $100/night, and another that's $75/night, I know that the cost may be higher due to taxes, but it will be higher by the exact same percentage for both of the hotels.

But if I go and book a room at the $75/night hotel, show up, and find that they're hitting me with a surprise $50/day "resort fee", then I'm going to feel cheated, and wish that'd I'd booked at the $100/night hotel (assuming that one doesn't have a resort fee, anyway).

The deceptive hotel tried (and succeeded!) in attracting me with a misleadingly low price, when I would have been able to get a better price from a different, non-deceptive hotel. Taxes really have nothing to do with that; people aware of how things are usually done in the US will know that no business would list taxes included unless they were required to, as doing so (when others do not) is essentially a competitive disadvantage.

I do agree with you that a better new law would require businesses to include taxes in their prices. But that's frankly so far outside the norm in the US that I wouldn't be surprised if the bill's author(s) expected it would fail to pass with that kind of language in it, so they limited it to something they actually thought would pass. Baby steps! Incremental improvements are better than nothing.

Also consider that there are many weird people in the US who like having sales taxes added later and itemized out, due to some misguided belief that including taxes up front would let the government raise taxes without anyone knowing. This is related to the unfortunate phenomenon of the IRS not being allowed to essentially do our income taxes for us.
Even if by law the post-tax price is shown, is there any law preventing showing the pre-tax price also? Surely not.

Seems to me giving people a shock at the checkout is a particularly evil way of making taxes explicit. It isn't like the taxes aren't broken down on EU receipts for those who care; in fact it's quite explicit.
Deep learning-based recommendation models are very popular in industry. Not sure what “proof” you’re referring to, but it’s definitely not the case that random forests outperform DL based approaches in general.

People vote for it. There is no such thing as “deserve to be at the top”. If the HN crowd show interests and upvote, then it rises.
Where for me, "feels bad" starts at the body getting tensed up and the gut being twisted, and goes up from this to becoming nearly paralyzed and tortured, with higher cognitive functions shutting down and even the simplest incremental action on the task requires forcing my own limbs to move.

It's like the physically painful stress of suddenly having to make a very difficult choice, except it doesn't go away until I finish the task, give up on it, or... just do something else. So it's less of a "I will avoid doing it", and more of the mind giving up under torture.
They fundamentally don’t but a high quality / high refresh OLED display can come very close and if implementation done right IMHO can even surpass experience in some cases. I still play old games on my old beloved tubes but to be frank often just for purity / nostalgic reasons and because I like the original 4:3 format without (“perfect black” even) overhead on the sides. I hope Apple will finally Switch to OLED for their iPads as the aftermarket / replace displays for those usually are well affordable and usable for e.g. a wall mounted “cabinet”.

This is what Airbnb did and was addicted to, until it found itself now in a position where many hosts are professionals with many properties, and the rates are very uncompetitive with hotels and altering travelers perception of the brand.

The question isn't quite as hard as with Terry Pratchett novels (yes, I do place Bujold in that tier) and I think the major choices boil down to:

1. Cordelias' Honor: Unusually, this is not about the character who will star in the next umpteen novels, but it does a lot of world-building and introduces some important characters who will be pervasive supporting cast later. (It's an omnibus that merges what was originally published separately: Shards of Honor, Aftermath, Barrayar.)

2. The Warrior's Apprentice: The first of the books focusing on the main protagonist of the rest of the series, however if you value knowing the world-building, backstories, and references to earlier books, then this would be a weaker start.

3. Falling Free: A stand-alone novel 200 years earlier in the main universe, which can be good or bad depending on your appetite.
