> A standard hour is broken into 60 minutes. There are 2.4 standard hours in 1 metric hour.

That makes 1 metric hour equal 144 standard minutes. Since 1 metric hour is 100 metric minutes, that means 1 metric minute is 1.44 standard minutes. But the site says:

> A standard minute has 60 seconds. There are 2.4 standard minutes in 1 metric minute.

Even without doing any calculations those scale comparisons for the hour and minute can’t be the same as shown. Standard is going down by a factor of 60 and ‘metric’ by a factor of 100 so they can’t keep the same ratio.
Both are true.

Some Atom line processors were branded Pentium/Celeron. The low end big core SKUs were also branded Pentium/Celeron (and often had features disabled).
I went to a lot of loud concerts when I was younger and just assumed that I had tinnitus from those, and until now, I had no idea there were multiple causes of tinnitus.

I had assumed this was incurable but if my tinnitus is from tight neck muscles, that seems fixable. I'm going to reach out to my doctor about this. Thank you, I think you might have just greatly improved my life.
I love the pitch however my brain would hurt after a day of this. Maybe it's simply because no one is metric time woke.
I was going to say: time is based on degrees of a circle, and 10 doesn’t work great for it. I’m not a fan of non-metric length measurement, but time seems to be a rather sensical usage of it.

Imho it should be the other way around: the editor knows about file layout and everything, and the language server queries the editor when it needs contents for a specific file. Unfortunately the LSP don't have calls to query contents.

The rationale is that only the editor knows what files are open and modified. Also we can imagine scenario where the editor and the language server are on different remote (eg GitHub codespace or the browser version of vscode. The language server could be a wasm build running where the editor is running, but the editor may access files in a remote server, or vice versa)

Counterpoint: electricity markets are terrible for reliability.

Markets are great, but there are no pricing signals for reliability. You won't know that your grid will collapse at the first strong breeze, until it happens (see: Texas).

Theoretically, it can work because companies might invest in reliable generation, in the hopes of getting $$$$$$$$$ when the spot price goes up through the roof. But in practice, pretty much nobody wants to wait 5-10 years between "income events".

And it's even worse in Europe. It's just a story of utter market failure.

The issue with general data markets is that they are too .. generic. They can't address the quality assurance problem, so as a buyer you'd end up doing you own due diligence for every merchant on the marketplace. As if you were to site-visit each Airbnb before you book a night there.
A web-scraping dedicated marketplace might address this, surely not a generic one.

As a teen, the Tascam 424 was my absolute dream piece of gear, and I remember being so proud the day I actually bought one. I was 13 or 14 when I was introduced to it, and it was the first time the concept of tracks on a cassette tape was even given any thought by me, and I no longer had to try to play music in reverse on a turntable--it was the 80s, and it was all the rage <facepalm>. it did get me very interested in how it worked from the record/playback heads, the type of tape, how it made an 8-track make sense, and then that led into how VHS tapes worked. After high school, I went to work for a film post house and learned that they made a magnetic audio format on 35mm film. Crazy how influential that little 424 was in where I am now.

Your tinnitus is likely being caused by tight sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCM). I would look into stretches to resolve that.
You have some goos points there that I cannot deny. I just know ArangoDB because they were advertising their project on German dev meetups when it was very young as an alternative to all the NoSQL hyped databases that turned out to have some serious limitations.

Their market seems to be the multi-model database market, where you also can run queries on the database without needing hacky "documents as views". They are also a somewhat alternative to neo4j, so I guess the graph database purpose is also there.

Whether or not they can be scaled on the same level, like you implied, especially with the necessary tooling for replication, synchronization and balancing ... is a whole other question.

Maybe someone that uses ArangoDB in production can chime in?
It certainly confirms the politcal maneuver...

Does this short page describing a base-10 way of dividing time actually fail to be internally consistent for the few sentences of text describing it?

> A standard hour is broken into 60 minutes. There are 2.4 standard hours in 1 metric hour.

> A metric minute is broken into 100 seconds.

> A standard minute has 60 seconds. There are 2.4 standard minutes in 1 metric minute.

No, a standard minute is 1/1440 of a day, and a metric minute is 1/1000 of a day. There are 1.44 standard minutes in a metric minute.
To add on: SVE/RVV also have fixed size vectors. It's just that the size is specified by the hardware, whilst for AVX, software specifies the size.

It's not quite "all" because non-constructive proofs exist. In an ordinary program you can't just switch between returning a value as output and requesting it as an input, but in proofs you can kinda do this - and that's a logical step called "proof by contradiction".

Does traceloop support OpenTelemetry Protocol File Exporter?

I'm the maintainer of Insomnium (https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnium) and I'm building a LanceDB-based prompt orchestration framework for automated software development that I'm integrating into Insomnium these few weeks.

would be nice to have a simple API to export to local; thanks!
The gas boiler has a small tank where the radiator circuit's water is heated. Warm water accumulator is analogous to making this tank larger. The radiator connections would be moved to the big tank and the boiler would be made to warm that tank. Perhaps typical combination boiler isn't optimal for this setup, so incorporating other heat sources might be best timed when the boiler is due for replacement anyway.
I have had very mild tinnitus my entire life - since as early as I can remember in childhood. It's never been particularly bothersome but in a quiet room I can clearly hear it.

However, when I received the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine in 2021, within a day I had a substantial increase in tinnitus in both ears, particularly my right. I also had a persistent sensation of "fullness" in my right ear.

I went to an ENT. They were pretty skeptical of the connection to the vaccine, said they couldn't see anything physically wrong with my ears, but we had a good conversation about tinnitus in general. They told me there wasn't much anyone could do, but anecdotally, they did think that many of their patients reported actual improvement from an OTC nutritional supplement, "Lipo-flavonoid", specifically marketed for tinnitus.

https://www.amazon.com/Lipo-Flavonoid-Supplement-Recommended...

I ordered a bottle and tried it out, and sure enough, I do think it made a difference - it did seem to quiet down the tinnitus, but not back to the level I was used to.

After about 2 months the tinnitus and sensation of fullness faded.

I elected not to get the booster.

Best of luck to you. I do suggest giving this supplement a try.

Yeah, base 12 is the most practical for divisibility. 60 is good, but it's too big to conceptualize.

"aw man...I gotta go be president this month...that's going to totally blow our vacation"
I'm really fascinated by such ideas. However, it's just academic as time is so much baked into physical devices (watches, clocks, ...) so this will most probably never happen.

I'd rather start redoing the calendar. It doesn't need to be metric but the different lengths of the months (and the naming Oct. should be 8 not 10?) could be reworked.
> Working with base-10 numbers is so much easier than trying to think in base-60, base-12, and base-24.

In some ways, sure. If you're doing precise mathematical things. Otherwise, if you're doing simple mental math, base-12, -24, and -60 have some advantages.

60 can be evenly divided into 1/2 (halves) or 30 min, 1/3 (thirds) or 20 min, /4 or 15 min, /5 or 12 min, /6 or 10 min, and by 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60.

24 can be divided by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and so on for 12. I always assumed this was the reason for the "imperial" unit measures and for time and length. Dividing things into thirds is a common use-case and it's nice to be able to do that evenly.
My tinnitus was caused by flying long distance while having a ear infection. The first year was horrible, but after that it got a better every year and about 5 years later it's basically gone. I can only hear it now when I am in a very quiet environment or (this is the simplest way to revive it) bite down hard on my teeth. I think my brain has adjusted to the sound by masking it.

Most doctor visits were quite disappointing since they didn't do anything. I heard from many people that early therapy can help a lot (like oxygen therapy) but my doctor only tried some of these things after I repeatedly asked for it. But by that time it was already too late (like 3-4 weeks later).

What helped me was:
- distraction
- constant white noise in the background
- avoiding any source of loud sounds/music/etc (I am very sensitive on that now)
- relaxing my jaw muscles
- distraction
- going to the doctor at the earliest sign of possible ear infections to stop infections from spreading to the inner ear.
Ask HN: Should I climb the software engineering Ladder or build a side hustle?
I have little over 2 Years of Experience. I had joined the Industry in 2021 when developers are making a lot money here in India thanks to Startup VC Funding. I had job-hopped a bit and got to a decent salary at my current role but the market has changed dramatically. I have been applying to several companies passively and actively since couple of months resulting in vain. Now, I am very much passionate about software but I am also flexible. I do get some decent ideas in IT sometimes. Should I just keep upskilling myself in promotion to mid-level engineer/ grinding leetcode or do a side hustle completely unrelated(or related) to software? I am flexible with anything.

Yes, a very confusing error.
The metric time is the SI time (24h 60m 60s).
The decimal time is base 10.
French tried to get it used during the revolution and it did not work. Its the only unit that resisted decimalization, with a couple others ones in a handful of countries still using something called « imperial units ».

Another similar thought experiment is binary clocks which I remember using to get use to read in base 2. [1]

Weekly clocks are also a good way to change perspective on time. [2]

Both are fun to use, especially with other people if you manage to get them to experiment with you. Both have the avantage of avoiding any confusion with SI time.

Doesn’t it seem like an earthquake of that magnitude would have corresponding lore from natives basically among the entire western region of North America? Why only the PNW tribes?
This was a fascinating read for a totally unexpected reason.

I’ve spent most of my life in countries where the metric system is used for distance, weight, temperature etc.

This year I’ve had to travel a lot to the US for work and found the constant mental conversions a PITA. I kept wondering why people keep holding out against such an obviously easier system.

Then I read this article about 8 hours of sleep would be 3.33 metric hours. How you wake up at 9:50 after sleeping at 2:75 and I notice real-time at the absolute recoil I feel reading this. Maybe I’m getting older , but I completely get how familiarity to numbers being represented a certain way is hard to let go of.
AVX 10/128 doesn't sound particularly useful, because you still need to do AVX2 at 256, so you're at best skipping half the 256-bit registers. But still doing some 256-bit calculations (even if it's double pumped)

I'd think you could do some pretty good heuristics, like if the thread hit P-core instructions in the last time slice, don't schedule it on an E core for the next one. When a time slice starts on a P-core, leave the specialty instructions disabled, so you can monitor usage --- if you trap, enable it, and return; if that cost is still too high (which it might be), keep track of how many time slices in a row hit the trap, and maybe enable the P-core instruction preemptively for a few slices.

Or just, give the program more information and let it decide. If you've got some cores with avx and some without, maybe the process wants to schedule only on the avx cores. Or maybe it can schedule some threads on any core and others need an avx core. As long as the possible permutations at run time aren't too crazy, it's reasonable.

This isn’t eye for an eye. It’s simply amplifying their own statements. If they don’t like the attention, don’t make such horrible statements that blame innocent victims for their own deaths. Plus many organizations have realized that this letter was not appropriate, I think that putting more pressure on people who think that this statement is fine is American. I would think we don’t support people who murder innocents is a universal moral concept in the USA.

This is exactly the reason why I'm sticking with the CAT S6x series phones and willing to put up with mediocre performance/features, as far as smartphones go.

They've been the only ones that don't just turn off in really cold temperatures, even without babying them in warm pockets.

The general ruggedness is also pretty good to amazing, depending on how fragile your previous phones were. For example: it survived a ~10 meter (32ft) drop on rocks, whereas everyone was convinced it was done for.
Sexagesimal mental math (especially wrt fractions) is easier than decimal math, which is why we represent time and circles with them.

8 hours comes from the worker's movement anyway. 8 hours work, 8 hours recreation, 8 hours rest. It's clearly only chosen to make a nice slogan. In reality 7-9 appears to be optimal. If you were using decimal time you'd just say 3-3.5 hours and be done with it. Convenient enough.
