It was BASIC, just one that had evolved quite far from really old school BASIC. I like to probably incorrectly think that AmigaBASIC (also written by MS) was a bit of a half way point between old 8bit BASIC and VB. It did away with line numbers, got a bit more event driven, and added a lot of GUI stuff like mouse handling, windows, menus etc etc etc.
Exactly, 100% nuclear is not achievable without storage: nuclear can do baseload but not daily peaks.
Yep but that's true of many sports. In fact most sports at high levels involve a heightened risk of life-changing injury. It's a difference of degree rather than type.

Not that that invalidates your criticism but it does require it to be formulated in a more nuanced way.
The long hour days stuff is just corporations/institutions forcing thinkers to work like factory workers.

Things Are Going Great at Netflix, So It's Raising Prices

It's so sad that microsoft fucked over kinect at every conceivable opportunity. I used it a lot for 'creative coding' open frameworks and processing projects (many in that community did). Thank god they bought the original from primesense and didn't have the ability, or didn't exercise the ability, to break their multi-platform sdk.

When the Kinect 2 sdk was windows only it was a huge turd in the punchbowl and a clear sign that microsoft was not serious about making it a real tool to do real work with. I did do one project with the kinect 2 and learned just enough of the sdk to write a shim in c# to run the camera and pipe the data out over the network to a box that was actually doing the rendering.

The kinect 2 also was excessively picky about it's usb3 port, I remember going through about half a dozen usb3 cards until I found one that worked.
That's not how USB-C works.

Unlike Apple's late Lightning connector, USB-C isn't two sets of mirrored pins. The power pins are simply shorted together on both sides, four pins each for VBUS and GND. USB2 and CC (connection detection) are connected only on one side. The remaining pins are four high-speed lanes, two per side.

With rare exceptions, a USB-C cable does not do anything about reversibility. It simply connects the pins straight-trough to its partner on the other plug. The lane swapping needed for the high-speed lanes is done by the devices, not the cable.

The Apple cable is so complicated because it is a 40Gbps cable over 100cm long. This means it requires a redriver to guarantee signal integrity. That's what the big chip is for. Doing that in the small space available in a plug means your routing gets complicated.
The participants ignore the health of the participants quite a bit already in many a sport. Let them do what they want, I say.
Star Trek, while entertaining, cannot offer any philosophical insights. It was, after all, written with the intention to entertain, not to demonstrate or explore any deeper truths. It was also targeted at a particular subset of the population (that may be over-represented on HN), and likely will encode tropes that that sub-population will find compelling.
From what I've read, streaming services generate more profit on the ad tiers than on the ad-free tiers, so they're going to raise ad-free tier prices until that's not true, or IMO will eventually eliminate ad-free altogether.

The last time I actually liked Netflix was when they were having the contests for the best recommendation algorithm, for DVDs. Since they starting producing their own crap, that's all they shoved down my throat, making it impossible to find something I liked. I gave up and canceled it.
The argument that I’ve heard against this is that pro athlete training is already really dangerous - yet athletes are valuable enough that their handlers have some incentive to be reasonably cautious to not push things too far most of the time.

Of course, we also know of many many athletes that have been permanently injured during training, so it’s hard for me to know how true the above is.
That’s a long way to say “it’s definitely possible but I haven’t architected a sane solution yet.”
It's the other way round; most PEDs _are_ medicine for regular people, abused by athletes. E.g., synthetic EPO is really useful if you just had chemotherapy for cancer and that killed off nearly all of your red blood cells.

Anyways, if you want competitions with doping, there are high-level bodybuilder competitions that don't test.
Nice Linear algebra book with a visual geometrical approach
Really liked the visual/geometrical approach, like 3blue1brown videos.
Do they though? The last time I used a real estate agent they suggested a variety of properties that they had "personally looked at". One of them turned out to be an empty field. The photos were all renderings or depictions of what could be built on the land, and that tidbit was buried in an obscure part of the site. It was clear the agent had never been there and had no idea.
This is basically what I do as well. It's awesome.

The railway and aeronautics industry have regulation constraints that aren't that far to what nuclear has[1], without preventing the industry to thrive. The worst thing that can ever happen to the nuclear industry would be another catastrophic incident (even one with almost no casualty like Fukushima) so I think taking safety extremely seriously is the only thing that nuclear energy can afford.

[1]: My wife work in nuclear engineering, and I did work for the rail industry for some time. It's not exactly the same, but it's also not that different compared to other regulated industries, like healthcare for instance, where it's full YOLO compare to both of the above.

You're a little out of date.

Target is also slowly circling the drain and will be death spiraling into worse service + experience.
In most states you can go with a fee for service broker. We did that when we sold our last house. We paid a reasonable fee for an MLS listing and got to writeup the whole thing ourselves. Most real estate agents do a cursory job of that, and often do it incorrectly.

As long as you understand you're advertising to real estate agents and not buyers, its easy to sell a house. They need to see from the listing that they won't have to do any work to sell the house other than show it to a client. We offered the standard commission to the buyers agent.

We still had to get an agent to buy, though. Couldn't find a good one, so we held our nose and did the work ourselves, using the agent for house access.
> First and foremost, creators are curators.

That seems like an overstatement. Foremost? Johnson said that a writer may turn over half a library to make one book, but this article doesn't talk about doing anything with your collection after you've curated it. The creative act referred to in this article seems to be the curating itself. That's fine as far as it goes; curation is a form of creativity. But I'd say creators, broadly, are first and foremost people who make stuff, not people who curate other stuff. If you're too overwhelmed by stuff to make anything yourself, you've probably seen plenty already. Maybe shut off the firehose and try working on something before deciding lack of curation is the problem you face. This feels a bit like the impulse that tells you the reason you can't get any writing done is because you need to clean your office first.
The biggest problem isn't that the highest-level athletes would waste away their bodies (that's a big problem, but not the biggest); it is that below them, there will be thousands if not millions of second- and third-level athletes doing the same. With much less control.

Imagine if every kid out there that wanted to be the next Ronaldo or Neymar (and could afford it) started taking steroids and EPO. That's a huge cost, and what did we gain exactly? A slightly lower number on some clock?

It's an interesting avenue, though a problem is that updates and interviews with Ed Yong post book appear to show they could only treat one thing - c diff effectively with fecal transplants and that is apparently temporary, with recent studies show it lasting possibly a year before another transplant is necessary, and that probiotics via food like yogurt/kefir cultures only last as long as you eat the food regularly, there is no way (yet) to permanently fix a broken (as in the same as someone who had regular, non highly processed diet for baseline versus people who had switched from their pre highly processed diet to the highly processed modern diet) microbiome. Here's his Fresh Air interview, https://www.npr.org/2016/08/18/490432969/eating-yogurt-is-no... but he's written a lot of stuff since then, too, for the Atlantic.
You're absolutely correct.

Other sports lack it as well. Body building is fascinating, but not in the same category as say... running 100m in under 9 seconds.
The permissions model could be a lot better, but ArgoCD is really designed with a git repo as the primary interface.

It seems there's an expectation that ordinary ArgoCD users don't have (write) permissions to the cluster, and handling permissions is delegated to the checks you have on your git repos.

It does feel like a shortcut that limits the situations where ArgoCD can be used, but I can see how this could have been justified during the design process.
This is very timely because I completed writing a useless software just a few minutes ago:

CFR Brackets: https://susam.net/cfr.html

Demo: https://susam.net/cfr.html#3

Source: https://github.com/susam/cfr

It is a very minimal drawing language that supports only 5 commands: C (change colour), F (move forward), R (rotate), [ (begin block), and ] (repeat block). The commands are slightly inspired by the Logo programming language. The minimal nature is inspired by P′′. However, unlike both, this is not Turing complete.

No practical usage is intended. I wrote it for fun and I am hoping to have some more fun with it trying to draw interesting shapes using it while keeping the input code as small as possible.

Do you remember what the research was?

I keep having this argument about multitasking not being a real thing but I'd love some concrete research to back it up. I get the sense that people just feel more productive when "multitasking" Rather than recognizing the true cost of constant context switching.
I had this gut reaction initially, but I can't recall it ever being an issue since we moved to gitpod around 2020. Our dev experience is inherently coupled with network access. It's not as though we keep local caches of package registries, etc.
> That's a big revision from your previous comment

It's not, but semantic arguments are pointless. If you want to use "rent seeking" to mean something different from what it normally means, fine, I don't mind using different words.

> As soon as anybody owns any piece of land or capital, they are not doing anything to produce any value that is derived from it, they are simply collecting money for controlling a scarce resource. Those two factors of production can create ongoing value without any intervention from their owners, and you either support a persons right to own those resources, and collect some portion of the value they create, or you don't.

> Also, what's wrong with unearned capital? If I give somebody a hammer, do you have some sort of moral objection to them deriving income from the increased productivity that would create for them? Because I would suggest that the only thing that matters there is whether I had a legitimate ownership claim to the hammer in the first place.

Right; the point is that land and capital are very different. People can legitimately own hammers, which are the work of human hands (yes, access to the means of production could be a factor, but if we assume that production of hammers is now widespread then it's irrelevant). Claims of ownership of land (or radio spectrum, or so on), if you mean chattel ownership, can't ever be legitimate, because people can't make land, only seize it.
I'd love to read a better article on this topic from someone more trustworthy than a16z.
I looked at an early flavor of this and spent a while reversing the malware. This was the same malware that hit McClatchy and MediaNews a few years ago (2020, but I remember being concerned about the malware's practice of replacing the DOM with the lure and how that could have been further abused to inject fake content). It ran on many regional media sites like Denver Post, etc. This one did a lot of cleverness like fingerprinting a host via JS to ensure it was legitimate, geolocating an IP, only serving the bait once to an IP, and making sure the referrer header was set-- among other things. They also had a nice pool of domains, but they were discoverable by looking for artifacts specific to the lure. It was an interesting campaign to dig into and watch evolve.

If I recall too, the intermediate domains appeared to all be subdomains from (possibly) compromised godaddy accounts.
I agree with you, the higher the level, the more athletes will destroy their bodies in the process.

My critism is about actively encouraging said destruction via promotion of stimulants. It's already bad as it is.

White noise is very distracting for me. Can't sleep with it on. It actually "hurts" as well - as in it feels like there's something pushing on my hearing constantly. I understand it helps some people but not me and if someone suggests using it to drown out other stuff that does not work for me. It does not make things better. Just bad differently. I need silence.
> except our bodies already kinda do that on their own

OP wasn't talking about practical uses, he was talking about further experimentation in which the researchers narrow down exactly which gut bacteria has the effect.

Something like a binary search, or a git bisect.
Exactly, so I'll reiterate: if all you know is that setting A is opt-out and that user B has that setting turned on (i.e. in its default value), it's incorrect to say that the user has opted into the setting, because you don't even know if the user knows the setting exists, and one can't make a choice about something one doesn't know exists. The most you can say is that the user has not opted out of the setting.
It was always pretty costly, even 60 years ago and it hasn't come down much, that is why the cost argument is not trivial, especially with other sources being so cheap these days.

And not to forget: some things are freakishly dangerous. For example, spent fuel rods provide deadly amounts of radiation in basically no time to people around them.

You could have each thread select(), poll(), or read() a byte, from the same pipe in their SIGSEGV handler. (Those syscalls are async-signal-safe in POSIX.)

When it's time to resume, the GC unprotects the page then writes a byte (or enough bytes if read() is used), which wakes all the blocked mutator threads.

Those threads also need to synchronise acks with the GC. After the GC protects the guard page, the mutators don't stop mutating immediately, so they must send an ack to the GC thread from their SIGSEGV handler to say when they have stopped. A pipe can be used for this too. Use of a non-mutex-using atomic counter, if available, can speed this by ensuring the GC only wakes once. Similarly the mutator threads must send an ack after they resume before returning from their SIGSEGV handler, to ensure the next GC run does not race with a mutator thread still slowly handling the current GC run

On Linux, futex or eventfd are async-signal-safe but non-portable alternatives to pipes. Futex has the advantage of not using a file descriptor and may be faster.
An argument can be made that since Americans are inherently distrustful of any forms of government whatsoever, it emboldens them if they feel like they're the one who has agency when submitting these forms to the IRS.
What's the chance that this could be related to the writers strike? If the studios have to start paying talent more, might they be turning to the streaming services and raising the fees?

Alright. Since I work for one of America's largest utilities I'm going to point out something that apparently isn't all that popular to say:

We have plenty of energy already

The entirety of our generation capacity is aimed at delivering energy during peak use, which is 8 hours per day. That is 1/3 of the day. The other 1/3 of the day is much less energy intensive, and the final 1/3 hardly registers in comparison. Coal plants can't be powered down so if they're generating too much then the excess is sent to ground. Literally, we spend 1/3 of the day pumping energy into the ground. Ditto for today's nuclear power plants. Yet people keep saying we don't have enough energy.

What we don't have is two things:

1. A distribution system capable of handling 24/7 load. The lines feeding your neighborhood were never meant to be run 24/7 and the equipment is undersized to cool down properly. You need to upgrade so they don't overheat and cause problems. Remember, they're only meant to be run hard for 8 hours per day and they're used to not being used much at night so they can cool down in the cool night air. More nuclear generation isn't goin to do squat about that problem.

2. Smart load management. Yes, industry can't shift load as much - but residences can. Don't charge your EV while you're using your oven. Things like that. Collectively there's plenty of power to power everything you need - we just need to be a little smarter in scheduling that power. You need to manage your peak rate. We need smart plugs that shut of when you've reached your peak usage rate. Shut off the EV, shut off the electric water heater - you should be able to program what you want done and get alerts that you're going over your peak load. Load management needs to be part of our lexicon.

Continuing to do what we've been doing is not the path forward.
IANAL but as far as I remember, you can't copyright a list of objective facts, for example a phone book containing a list of phone numbers.

Model weights are clearly not in that category. Happy to be corrected if I misremember.
The obvious other side of that coin: of the two things we're doing at once, one of them is neither fun nor engaging. Making it the thing to 100% focus on will also mean it it's now a stronger candidate to procrastination, and just won't be done at all.
I guess titles for any documentary are going to be at least a bit intriguing, which could be the same as clickbait? But the full YouTube video title does specify it's talking about/to Africa:

So much of what you've said is flatly untrue, and just more BS American anti-union propaganda. If you're on the west coast, I believe there are a lot of engineers at Boeing that would like to have a conversation with you.
Yes and curation is the process by which one can identify valuable content among the noise.

As someone with a somewhat creative job, and a creative hobby on the side, the concept resonates with me. But maybe it's not universally applicable.
