It's often best not to think too much about "aesthetic", or performance, at first, and to focus instead on getting something that works. FWIW, The Mythical Man-Month[0] recommends to start with a few throw-away prototypes, during which you're gaining expertise over the problem, that you can later crystallize in more definite versions.

Now, it doesn't mean good practices should be discarded altogether either. One of the most generic advice is to be systematic/coherent: if you use one convention in some place, use it everywhere. Then, reading good codebases (e.g. OpenBSD[1], Plan9[2]) is a great way to learn about organizing code, existing conventions, idiomatic techniques, etc.

Finally, regarding tools, you may want to check periodically what Valgrind[3] has to say on your code. Eventually use a Makefile or an elementary shell script to automate the build: both should be sufficient at least for the first "draft".

That's pretty much any website that accepts user input or integrates with an external service. I could post a base64-encoded malware to HN too, it would just get caught a lot faster (wasn't this a real thing on reddit?). I think the trick here is that it doesn't look out of place on a blockchain explorer/gateway because most of that data is opaque binary content to begin with.
Wow, that looks really good!
I'd be surprised to hear about anybody deleting records on backup systems (i.e., backups that exist for disaster recovery purposes). It would be pretty difficult to do that in a commercially viable way (but I'm open to hearing about some creative ideas).
Automatic mechanical watches don't get enough hype. They're examples of incredible engineering. Somebody shrunk a grandfather clock down so it could fit in a pocket, then someone else not only shrunk it down further, but made it so _the damn thing wound itself!_
Yeah, but my neighbor across the street will never get one. He likes making noise.
This is probably the case. The truck is between the size of a Tacoma and an F150, and the SUV is about the same size as a Tahoe or a Range Rover. Certainly not small, but not strangely large for the US.
profitable != providing value

There's a ton of cool tech that provides a ton of value and makes little to no money.
The TX's Lately Bass is one of the most iconic synth presets. It's the core of Eurodance/Eurobeat, though sometimes you also hear Solid Bass or the Korg M1's Organ2.

The M1 is the source of the most common House piano sounds, and a lot of other common instrument sounds in 90s music.
Heads up that all financial institutions in the US, regardless of if they're regulated as a bank or not, are subject to following KYC/AML laws. Bank's are just as much, if not more subject to scrutiny in this area.

You can't use a bank to skirt KYC/AML laws, sorry. And you have a similar amount of recourse (little to none) if you run afoul of them.
A change of url should only have a short term impact so long as redirects are in place.

How do I know? No one really knows for sure. I have had one instance where changing the domain killed a site stone dead and I don't really know why that happened so, yeah, there is always some risk.

I would say if your site is already ranking well for competitive search terms then it would be wise to stick with the current domain. If not then you don't have much to lose and, assuming you agree with the branding advantage, you may as well make the move sooner rather than later.
Being a victim, or a righteous defender of victims, is a guaranteed source of prestige and lift in status in the anglosphere's college-educated middle class.

Having used Raspberry Pi since their very first release, your experience is the exception.

Corrupt filesystems are definitely a lot rarer these days but they still do happen.

I've also had decent sdcards (genuine SanDisk from brick-and-mortar chain store) just completely die on power cycle or reflash.

Not that I support people's likeness being used without their consent, but how is banning something related to AI going to resolve this problem?

I can draw an illustration right now that uses someone's likeness without their consent that they may not like so much - who is stopping me? So why are we trying to stop AI?

Seems like an issue to address on another layer/level. Or a veiled attempt to control something for other reasons under convenient cover.
Eh, no. Maybe the last five years.

Anything older than 8th Gen Intel processor won't run Windows 11 without some hacking. Sure, Windows 11 isn't all that well liked, but it's not a good idea to buy a system that won't even run the newest OS. You're going to be out of support before you know it. 8th gen processors were released in 2018.

Also, a ten year old system is likely to have a spinning hard disk instead of an SSD. Spinning hard disks are frustratingly slow.

Also, before the 8th gen release, you couldn't even easily find a 14 inch or smaller laptop with a 4-core CPU because of the cooling requirements. I think a 4 core processor is becoming somewhat of a necessity these days.
Quickbooks froze one of mine for 90. Called a dozen times, my accountant called the same number of times, you can’t even talk to their fraud department. They won’t tell you what info they need to verify or what is wrong. I will never use any Intuit product ever again.
As long as your EVs have batteries, seems like you should be OK, as long as they're not all at 10% of charge. How many miles does an ambulance, fire truck, or police car put on in a week? What length of power outage are you guarding against? Weeks long?
"It should not happen and if it does, you are either disgusting or ill."

I always loved FM. It's in kind of a comeback, but I haven't yet seen a compact FM synth from the big guys with high polyphony and multitimbrality.
Godot is very different. It's closer to a Unity competitor. Most games, should go with Godot.

LibGDX is more low level. It's like a java wrapper around OpenGL with some nice libraries for: math/sprites/algorithms/gc-friendly data structures/other structures (octrees etc) and abstracts away platform specific details in most cases so you can have the same code for android/ios/desktop/web.

Ingress is also LibGDX, but they switched to Unity for Pokemon GO.
Apple and Google and Stripe do not allow the same card on multiple accounts.

Also, having a fraudulent Apple Pay account is pretty rare and requires an entire apple account. That can be shut down if shenanigans.

My original point is that having a credit card greatly reduces the anonymity of accounts and allows for greater ability to trace back to the user. Both for uniqueness (ie, does prepend front 500 twitter accounts?) and for legal reasons (eg, prepend just did a crime, let’s find out who prepend is).

This doesn’t mean people can’t get around it. It means most people can get around it.
I was watching a video [1] about pinball machines the other day and thought about creating a pinball using my "physics engine" [2]. I was able to create a simple billiards [3] game using it. I've been pretty busy with work and other personal projects, but I've been meaning to get back to program for fun.

> Are Democrats the party of the KKK and Jim Crow?

They were, yes. For example, Senator Robert Byrd was KKK, and Governor George Wallace was a Democrat before running for President in 1968 as an independent.

> Things may have changed.

They have. The south started to flip from Democratic to Republican during the civil rights era.
I personally feel like there's no reason to ban AI-made porn, but that we need some kind of copyright enforcement and enforcement of publicity rights around training data for AI content in general. We will always have porn, but I think it's perfectly cromulent to require that commercially available AI-made porn all ultimately derives from legally acquired sources.

Or, to put it another way, I would treat it as if the training data was legally the same as using a source (however minimally) in Photoshop to produce some final image.
Pickup trucks haven't always been bigger than parking places. We should be selling reasonably sized vehicles of all needed configurations, not these monstrosities.
In this video we learn what a data structure is, flat data structure, stack, queue, linked lists, double linked list, hash table, tree, binary search tree, red-black binary search tree, quad-trees. Start implementing a hierarchy based configuration tree-based data structure with namespace addressing/indexing.
(I know it's a joke, but...) Only if your alternative heating was through electric resistive heating. Natural gas heaters and electric heat pumps will both provide 430W heat with less than 430W electricity usage.
Yeah still looking into this. Seems like a bug somewhere.

Overall I have a pretty long pipeline for getting new sites indexed, but should improve when I finish migrating to the new server.
A good takeaway from this is that

1) the simplest methods can stick around the longest. His skimmer page is 13 years old and it's still relevant, for example. Similarly, we will not be rid of fake download buttons or compromised wordpress sites in our lifetimes.

2) If you write about the simple stuff, your articles will be evergreen. You don't have to time the market when your product never falls out of demand.

One could think of it as a debit account which drafts from a checking account to keep a non-negative balance. With redemming gift cards and returns its possible for a RedCard to have a positive balance.
The trimmed mean discards outliers, so it can measure "what is the typical value for non-outliers?".

The windsorized mean reduces the weight of outliers, so it can measure "how many outliers are there?" instead of "how extreme are the outliers?"
My QoL has dramatically improved since the ban on gas leaf blowers. The cafe people say I seem so much happier in the AM.

> I can't tell if Rivian is doing really well, or really badly.

They are doing both!

Their production ramp is fantastic and they have three products that their customers love!

But they also have significant engineering and production problems that are causing them to be too costly. That, combined with the reality of being a low volume maker in a business that demands high volumes for positive cash flow, means that they are burning money quickly too.

This all reconciled around 2026 when R2 comes to market. It is make or break for the company.
Case in point: Russians have taken down US drones in recent months. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/16/politics/us-military-video-dr...

No war. We send a grumpy note to their ambassador and just consider it a minor acceptable consequence of obliterating significant chunks of their armed forces in a proxy war elsewhere.
For reference the Rivian R1S (the SUV version) is about the same size as a Honda Odyssey. The R1S is 201" long and 82" wide while the Honda Odyssey is 205" long and 78.5" wide. The Rivian pickup truck is similarly about the same size as the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck, almost exactly the same width, and about 7" longer.
Not sure what you mean. Maybe it's just my biases, but I don't think most people would be against fake OnlyFans performers or AI porn with 100% fake personas. But generating porn of real people without their consent, let alone of children... Yikes, it gets problematic fast.
Chemistry. Etching is not ideal process. In real life it not make ideally vertical hole, but it tends to go V-like or ^-like, so real mask will have artifacts, which are much narrower or much wider than considered, or sometimes could overlap.

This could been handled by careful selection of parameters - solution concentration, temperature, pressure, mechanical mixing, etc, but on each step of feature size, it become harder to achieve.

I have first education electronics engineer, and I seen broken PCBs, where these artifacts seen by naked eye.
Well, here's your first link: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...

It says nothing remotely conclusive about 1), 2), or 3). It literally only says "Here's some hypotheses. We need more research."

My local Kroger imprint sells their generic-brand plain Greek yogurt (with zero sweetener of any sort) in both whole milk and nonfat versions, in 32-ounce tubs for cheap. Every other grocery store I've been to also has something similar, even if you have to get the non-generic brands.
isn't there was a startup doing smth similar, I think it was Stilt, onbo.com?
Your call for “statistics” is snarky inasmuch as I made no claim in my post for which statistics would be relevant. Please don’t do this here. But as far as the existence of feminist opposition to these developments, did you miss the last major HN link about this topic?[0] Zero Christian basis to that woman’s concerns, nor are the women in her comments section agreeing with her out of professed Christian morality.

Why do you have to keep up with them?
I didn't know that, I thought the issue was that they were holding too many long term bonds at a low interest rate.

What is your source for that information?
Lvt is of course a good way for making sure land gets used for its most financially lucrative purpose. I never denied that.

My point is that it's a terrible way to fund a government. The vast majority of economic value created does not require land and would go un taxed. The vast majority of value comes not from land or the raw materials derived from land, but from Human labor used to convert the raw material into Goods, or pure services.

It's also much more regressive than the current system. People like Elon Musk make a million times more than your average person, but they don't use a million times more land or eat a million times more hamburgers. Most of what the rich purchase is labor and human compute.

^ Bengio's reply to this, loosely summarized is:
"the internet / grid could go down" and "ai could manipulate people"

I am more worried about hunter drones | drones that self manufacture. I am less worried about ai manipulation, and the telecommunications / electronic infra going down seems like something that doesn't require AI and is only blocked now by other factors.

Correct. The answer to "are they" is no.

John W. Davis died in 1955 [1]. I think your comment is relevant, funny and informative. But it doesn't rise to making the rescission hypocritical.

Current wisdom was that higher interest rates would be good for a bank (after all, deposits are sticky). That didn't turn out to be the case for SVB (high concentration of risk, ...) but is more true for a more diversified bank, especially with a lifeline like the BTFP.

More importantly, the actions of the FED after SVB signaled they'll do whatever it takes to keep the system stable.

If a single bank was getting close to your hypothetical scenario, you'd probably see a forced merger. If the majority was at risk, you'd probably see actions to ensure higher margins (such as using reg Q to impose maximum rates on deposits)
I hate on it because I personally didn't like it. I found the puzzles trivial, the butchering of canon painful (worse than Zork Zero), and the graphics comically awful. 7th Guest, Myst, and even Gadget were better in the GFX department for 1993.

It’s different in countries like Japan. A spokesperson must generally be squeaky clean.

The biggest fall of a celebrity in Japan is probably Noriko Sakai. Got caught doing drugs with her then husband.

All ads featuring her instantly disappeared. Almost all media works with her were pulled from the shelf or had parts her removed and redone with another actress.
I applaud your user-first attitude to responsible branding, but we all know open source software and economics of mass production cheap boards don't work that way.
Apple tends to be very picky about spec compliance in some things.

I wonder: is your Mac an Intel model or an Apple Silicon model? Perhaps the Intel powered ports are more lenient?

It would be interesting to know of a high quality cable tester showed some other difference in capabilities between the cables that may explain it.
Look up the history of Medvedev's statements; there is a lot of extreme stuff.
It's not a fringe thing. Even The New York Times has written about how "sex-positive" feminism is dying; and being replaced with an anti-porn feminism.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/24/opinion/sex-positivity-fe...

Quote:

In her new book, “The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century,” the philosopher Amia Srinivasan, who is quickly becoming one of the most high-profile feminist thinkers in the English-speaking world, describes teaching Oxford students about second-wave anti-porn activism. She assumes her students, for whom porn is ubiquitous, will “find the anti-porn position prudish and passé.” They do not. Rather, they’re in complete agreement with assertions that could come straight from Andrea Dworkin.

“Could it be that pornography doesn’t merely depict the subordination of women, but actually makes it real? I asked. Yes, they said,” writes Srinivasan. She continues, “Does porn bear responsibility for the objectification of women, for the marginalization of women, for sexual violence against women? Yes, they said, yes to all of it.”

Same in Austin, TX. Although I bought stock so can’t decide if I’m just seeing because I’m on the lookout or if there are actually more and more on the road.

I don’t own one, but the SUVs look really nice. For some reason I don’t like the truck design even though it’s very similar to SUV.

How far one should live from a Nuclear Power Plant? is 50 miles good enough
Is there any Nuclear Power Plant near the city or surrounding you live at least 50 miles away they say is the safest to live. This is probably not a question you're asked all that often. But it's one worth knowing the answer to for a couple of reasons: the basic value in knowing where some of your electricity comes from and, in the extremely unlikely event of a meltdown, the practical knowledge of whether you'll have to evacuate your home.
I prefer to work on most recent data. Good luck.

Well, maybe the US is a special snowflake wrt to mortgages and that was a bad example.

Most of the world doesn't have the luxury of fixing their mortgage debt for 30 years or have a Fannie and Freddie to support them.

Plain old businesses also have to tighten their belts and pay down their debts as well though.

My broader point is it's all a zero sum game. Almost all the money in existence exists because someone wrote a loan. The existence of debt or the lack of deposits is not inherently a problem. illiquidity isn't a problem if nobody wants to move their money, and interest rates rising isn't a problem if it's accompanied by inflation which will drive up asset values and wages (which support lending)
I hadn’t heard of MFEs before but this reminded me of renderings in the Sitecore CMS and the Helix organizational methodology to handle dependencies and coupling.
I came here to make the same comment. Also, all my personal docs are text files I edit with emacs. I have a self hosted git repo I use to share docs between machines.

I too have a kindle but read mostly paper books. Niel Gaiman made a comment once that books were like sharks. Sharks survived for millions of years by being the best thing in their particular ecological niche. Books survive because they're the best at being books. I think he also made a comment that kindles are good at being bookshelves. So read a paper book at home, but take the kindle with you on a vacation when you can't take your home bookshelf with you.
The Galactica miniseries had a scene near the beginning with a futuristic looking alarm clock on a nightstand. I had that exact same alarm clock, as it was given as a cheapo christmas present to all the student employees in my department at the university.

Except for Spellbreaker, which had an early path in the game that seemed like an easy solution but would break the game until the very end and you had NO idea what went wrong. (Incorrectly using Girgol to solve the ragweed problem, when you need it for the VERY LAST PUZZLE in the game to freeze shadow you before he jumps into the tesseract). I think Starcross had a path like this too, but I don't recall. And Infidel never allowed you to get the full score because you were ... an infidel. But that irony was lost on 15 year old me.

I'm guessing you either don't remember or didn't see what SUVs and light pickup trucks looked like in the 80's and 90's, but there is absolutely a lower bound on size that is way below where we are today.
Unless the exchange has collapsed you should be able to withdraw crypto and cash it in at Kraken or wherever.
Practically I think you end up with a couple genuine breaks:

- CPU/Motherboard/Memory

- GPU

- Storage

- Monitor

with PSU sometimes happening on one of those and case being an optional anytime upgrade. Eventually you'll need to replace everything over enough time but the nice thing is you don't need to immediately replace everything the moment the first component gets outdated.

The ultimate killer of this value is most people just don't upgrade components, it's too in the weeds for the average user.
