Unless I'm wrong, there are more than 45 days of work in a year. How come the are "always in holidays" then?

Joke aside, American friends seem to me that they're always fighting a perpetual burn-out, as they can't take holidays and get some real rest. When I was working in France, I used to take a 1 month break in summer. I always felt that after the third week, something changed in my body, as my nervous system was fully rested and I was ready to go back work my ass off.

So maybe there's a reason, and if taking a month off allows you to be 1/12 more productive for the whole year, it's worth it?
Yeah, I can understand that there are some counterintuitive parts to broadcasting an F1 race. Still, it seems like a waste of effort to host it in Vegas but only show it to Europeans.

I wonder how much input the city had. Maybe they decided it was better to try to recruit Europe than to win over America?
Oh yeah, that's HN. They'll even follow your every post and downvote out of spite.

It is appearances only many seek not genuine and sincere truth.
I was fortunate in that I was very fit and generally physically capable with access to excellent medical care.

I had a couple of MRIs to see what was going on.

Essentially I’ve got degenerative disc disease.

My specialist was the head of the Spinal Care unit at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

So I trusted his advice.

He said that surgery could very well make it worse, and that over time it would likely begin to heal itself.

I had a couple of steroid injections and took mild painkillers and anti inflammatories to manage the pain for a year or so.

The initial incident was well over five years ago.

Ive had reviews since, and the advice is still the same.

Surgery is a last resort. Just keep mobile and don’t do anything to make it worse.

The MRIs show that the disc that is jamming into my nerve has slowly begun to reduce.

So I force myself to remain mobile by continuing to walk everywhere, and have a standup desk for work as I literally couldn’t sit down for months!

I pretty much now never lift anything.

Your body cant process pain and motion at the same time. Which is a simplistic explanation. So walking is an excellent path to recovery.

Before the injury I’d back squat 130kilos, and strict press 95, could run a marathon and had a resting heart rate of 42bpm.

It flares up from time to time, and is never truely better.

I’m never pain free, I just learn to ignore the pain and keep moving!

I could talk for hours about my journey LOL
I live on a fairly busy road in a relatively rural area. My strategy for bulky stuff is to just put a "FREE" sign on it at the end of the driveway and that usually works within a few hours.

Electronics I just recycle and I mostly just shrug about other things or donate them.

you're part of a self-selecting population.

Personally I think UI experimentation is awesome, because we might end up with an interface usable on modern hardware.
For all the responses to my post, I’m glad I did

Lots to dive into.
it's also because they wanted to run it at night with all the casinos (and the sphere) on the route lit up. the miami gp started at 1230pm and the montreal gp at 11am (930am and 8am vegas time, respectively) but the las vegas gp route doesn't look half as good in daylight

It's harder to prove, as the employees move out of the company.
In California a $2M house can be a fixer-upper 1950s ranch in a lot of areas. Areas that were average, working class neighborhoods when they were built.

The person is often inheriting their childhood home. But they should have to sell the family home to a transplant techie, pay tens, or hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to a rent-seeking government, leave and move to Bakersfield to something?
It's not even big enough to carry people.

Partial Pre-Rendering Explained
I use PrinceXML for converting long HTML into PDFs and haven’t had trouble with large documents, though I don’t know if we’re in the same ballpark in terms of file size or element count. It’s expensive but is a one-time purchase (and I think it’s free to use personally and to evaluate). You can also use it indirectly through DocRaptor (basically a PrinceXML SaaS with an API), though I’ve never tried it.
Plenty of folks I follow for the war in Ukraine are posting to multiple sites now and that makes me leaving Twitter that much easier should the time come. Posting to multiple sites also increases their network at the same time.
it's the only way to be sure.
This looks handy thanks!

Naming is definitely the hardest problem in coding and file naming.

Part of me feels like chaining a few of these tools into a docker project.
Well they're in good company. USA Track & Field didn't realize Orlando would be hot in February for the marathon Olympic trials.

Zen4 has an 8 wide frontend (from uOp cache) but 6 wide rename, making the overall design 6 wide. Decode is 4 wide, but that only matters for code not sourced from the uOp cache (which is quite large).

Apple don't publish much details of the core - most of what we know is intuited from benchmarking.
Yeah it's way too small to be human rated especially because it just doesn't have the space for consumables for more than a day or so.
It gets cold in the desert. People head out to southern Utah to camp in October and November and are met with 40/30 degree weather and have to head back. Deserts can get really cold at night.
The thing is, Photoshop didn't win the "graphics wars" in the 90s by having a good interface. It won by having an interface that's analogous to physical photo editing and by having a bunch of the weird/fiddly things that professional need.

The best from-the-ground-up interface for a graphics program imo is that of CorelDraw, which survives as the interface to Inkscape. Rather than a craptasm of random, physical-analogue tools, you have a small number of highly functional tools giving you a wide range of options at any one point.

And yes, I'm "confusing" vector-graphics editors and bit-map editors. But imo they should be the same, the form of the image should be secondary. High film editors produce a script of editing operations to be done on the raw film. Bit-maps should also produce a sequence of operation that can be edited afterwards.

That's an excellent point, it's even worse in the public administration where everyone is un-fireable. The only way to get the bad apples out is usually through a promotion :-/
"Lack of manpower" is not a valid excuse when it comes to Gnome/GTK. If you redesign your entire codebase every other year, break everyone's workflow you cannot cry about lack of manpower. Writing software is one of the most expensive human endeavors in the world right now and FOSS community treats it like they have unlimited supply of it. If you have limited supply of software engineers then you cannot afford to redesign your UI and you have to stick to your existing code.
The shuttle could take a whole satellite in its payload bay and bring it back. Obviously the X-37B will never be able to do that simply because it's so much smaller.

I don't think it'll have the same capabilities or even the same goals as the shuttle.
I have never been organically sent a link to something on Threads, so AFAICT it's not even winning the war with Mastodon.
Curious, seems to me that they all come from the same Akkadian (ancient Semitic language) root:

"From earlier form کاهریز‎ (/ kāhrēz /) or کهریز‎ (/ kahrēz /), from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ksryc / kahrēz /) (compare Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫞𐫍𐫡𐫏𐫉‎ (qhryz / kahrēz /, “qanat”), Parthian 𐫞𐫍𐫡𐫏𐫝‎ (qhryc / kahrēz /, “qanat”) and Khunsari کیریز‎ (/ kēirīz) /), or compound of کاه‎ (kâh, “straw”) +‎ ریز‎ (rêz, “to throw”). They used to throw straws in qanats' wells to see how rapid the movement of water is for repair purposes."

Vs Latin "canal":

"For cannālis, from canna (“reed, cane”), from Ancient Greek κάννα (kánna, “reed”).*

And the Greek in turn comes, apparently, from Akkadian (Semitic) "qanûm" "reed".

And so I'd guess the Arabic 'qanat' either from either Akkadian or from its own Semitic vocabulary or was borrowed back in from Greek.

Nifty.
https://www.healthline.com/health/toxoplasma-test states most of my understanding.

https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtrea... talks about how the parasites can remain dormant in cysts, and reactivate in the immunosuppressed. (Which is interesting, as perhaps the elderly are immunosuppressed enough to allow reactivation?)

Also, from the article: "The researchers did not, as they originally hypothesized, find an association between any infection to T. gondii and frailty. But they did find that, among those infected, those with higher "serointensity" or a higher concentration of antibodies to the parasite, were significantly more likely to be frail."
Array based deques are very common (and usually much faster). Doubly linked lists are absolutely awful for memory locality.

I think we're missing an important connection of a whole bunch of bad execution in the last decade - accelerated greatly in 2020, 2021, and beyond.

Leadership failed upwards at a rate most don't even realize. And that is -part- of how we end up with these outcomes.
That is a terrible explanation to be honest. 10pm PT is 6am UTC, which is not a great time for Europeans. Both COTA and Miami started around noon PT, which is 8pm UTC and a much more reasonable time in Europe if you ask me.

Unless they are trying to appeal to Australian fan, my money on the real reason is that they wanted the glamour of a night race in Vegas.
But new users already don’t know how to use the UI, so why should it matter? If anything it’ll allow them to get a better idea of where to go if they land on a photoshop tutorial instead of a gimp one.
Yes, and no. I would note that they are definitely not alone and are much better scrutinized than the other data vendors you’ve never heard of that have much more detailed and person data about you.

The credit agencies however offer you a real and valuable service. Without credit history it’s impossible to get credit. It’s also harder to get jobs and to rent. So while it’s creepy, at the very least you gain some demonstrable advantage and benefit.

The data brokers and vendors however collect without your permission or knowledge, compile much deeper profiles of you as a human being and what you do and enjoy, along with these other details, and sell it for a profit you never get a share of.

Perhaps one day we will have a functioning legislative branch and from it will come a real privacy bill. I’m hopeful it’ll be better informed than the EU ones by taking lessons learned. But I hope for a lot of stuff, like world peace and cures for cancer.
Anecdotal for sure, but outside of maybe three threads I’ve seen on HN since the launch, I’ve heard almost zero about Threads. Nobody in my social circle (family, friends, and coworkers) has said a word about it.

I still see plenty of X threads shared, though.

(Disclaimer: I’m on neither platform. I used to be on Twitter prior to Tweetbot getting the axe, but not since then. Never signed up for Threads.)
I thought it was more to actually launch the newer keyholes and to bring them back in case of repair. After all one of those cost as much as an aircraft carrier, you don't want to scrap one for a minor problem.
I love learning cognates that don't really look it. Acadian and Cajun is another favorite, although I'm not sure if it counts if they're both used in English.

It mentions sideloading in passing.

I want to know if sideloading will be possible.

Honestly a repository (not a store) of open-source apps to compile and sideload would bring new life to the apple ecosystem.
Isn't an LLM essentially a stochastic ontology? Maybe that's why LLM's generalize so well to problems you wouldn't think would be amenable to next word prediction based on text analysis.

We also have SLBMs that can be launched directly off coast of a target. And, tossing nukes at enemies isn't going to go unnoticed and that thing doesn't have nearly the capacity to make for a sufficiently large first strike to prevent retaliation.

I guess it's possible, but (imo) it doesn't really make much sense.
Interesting, thanks!

For our (Rust) project, thin LTO doesn't cost much extra in compile time and gives a few percent speedup. But it's not a terribly optimized code base, and we don't have any manual inline annotations etc.
What’s interesting about this paper is that, with some very generic mathematical assumptions, only Galilean and special relativity are permissible.
In my case, Fedora became collateral damage after the CentOS/RHEL drama.

I've switched all my personal systems to Debian.

Oh, I meant EU+UK would exclude Switzerland. No comment about Western Europe intended.
For reference, Equifax leaked the personal information of 147 million people (myself included). Multiplying that by $50k is over 7 trillion dollars. In actuality, they were ordered to pay up to $700 million in total which works out to about $4-5 per person. I agree with you, but the gap between what you propose and the status quo is staggering.

Yes. A person shouldn't be able to inherit approximately the median lifetime salary of an individual tax free because their parents happened to live in California. They've no more right to live anywhere than anyone else.

Arch is not always the most up to date. Fedora and openSUSE occasionally beat it to an update. I've seen Fedora packages from git commits where Arch sticks with latest stable as well.

glibc and GNOME come to mind as frequent "not first" packages.

As a bigger thing, I think Fedora implemented systemd before Arch.

If there's anything with a low signal noise ratio it's Twitter. It's tuned so it's ideal for short meaningless bits of info and totally awkward for anything more because of the need to split it into multiple parts which have their own confusing reply threads.

There's a reason threadreader exists. Because Twitter just sucks at conveying anything more than "look what I just had for dinner". By design no less.
This is one of the places that "do one thing" principle breaks down. Or a bad habit became a bad definition for the use case of a command and it stuck for newbies.

`cat` usually does one thing: concatenate the contents of the inputs you give in the order you give them. Of course, if the user gives only one input, it will only print that.

It is not a text viewer even though many *nix users use it that way because they learned it that way, because a series of tutorials taught the wrong thing to generations. The very first one probably came from a very limited and very bad Unix environment like a server that is hostile to active development. So the tutorial used whatever core utility that's available: cat, beginning the multi-generational bad habit.

I kinda just think of Rust as C++ with a vaguely MLish inspired syntax & some aspects of the type & module system -- which is sort of how it explicitly started TBH -- and the borrow checker just grew out of what you end up needing to do if you rip the garbage collector out of a language like that.

Yeah, afaik, most Police won't do anything with this. My spouse's id was used to rent an Oakland luxury appartment in 2021, along with opening a credit union account and trying to open an amex. Thankfully amex called to check because there was already an account opened, and we were able to get the credit union account closed before it was usable, but the apartment complex seemed unable to do anything and Oakland PD didn't do anything other than acknowledge the report, they wouldn't return calls from our local PD either. IdentityTheft.gov is also a black hole.

Credit freezes are a joke, because if you have a person's credit report, you have enough information to cancel the freeze, even if you can't temporarily thaw it. Still, maybe it's better than nothing, so might as well. But it's then a pain if you need to interact with the credit system; some of the bureaux have such poor systems that your accounts will regularly not work; anyway, credit issuers don't tend to tell you what bureau they'll pull from until after they pull, so may as well unlock the big 3 before you do anything; and batch all your credit increase requests together.
The borrow checker determines the set of valid programs.

mrustc gets past not having a borrow checker by compiling invalid programs that would have otherwise had compiler errors. This, at best, results in runtime segfaults etc.

Just like you don't need to validate syntax if you just assume you're only ever fed valid syntax.

Nothing wrong with that, just want to clarify for people.
