You can use spigot as a practical implementation of exact/constructive real numbers. It's in the Debian software repo, or you can find it at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/spigot/

The main weirdness about exact reals is that "trivial" computations like sin(asin(0.12345)) will actually hang after outputing 0.1234, since spigot can't know whether the result is 0.12344999..99something or 0.12345000..00something; the "something" part that might break the tie never appears. There are cases where an 'exact' computation can't even decide whether the result is exactly zero or some number other than zero.

Sort of. The problem is that the chip is what needs to be cooled, and that is separated from the ice pack by a thermal pad and the laptop case.

both of those are way less efficient than something that cools the chip directly
Can anyone explain how "tiny membranes that vibrate at an ultrasonic frequency" is able to produce "AirJet’s 1750 pascals of backpressure" which is "more than 10 times the suction force of a high-end notebook fan"?

I understand how you could have a bunch of membranes that vibrate ultrasonically -- it's basically an array of miniaturized audio speakers. What I don't understand is how any localized oscillation of air gets transformed into massive, consistent air suction in a single direction.
Can someone please explain this entire project? I’ve read the README.md and have casually used ChatGPT but I have no idea what any of this is about.
The Blue Yeti is a really good mic. But it's not a really good mic for everybody.

I've been part of podcasting communities for years, and I understand why the site's creator made this — he did it because a surprisingly large percentage of podcasters (his customers) know very little about audio recording and production.

Like, you can't believe how many podcasters will buy a Yeti and then speak into the tip.
Apple have already shown from their crippled Intel Macbook Pros that they care nothing for good cooling systems, and are more than happy to accept sub par performance as long as the design of the product is right. I cant see them jumping at the chance to aquire a cooling device company.
Our usage may differ, but I would think I'm probably most interested in some relatively little visited articles, because I'm there looking something up not knowing about - versus say 'United Kingdom (country)' is probably quite highly visited in total, but not that likely to be visited.. if that makes some sort of sense.

Might be better to ignore certain topics you know you're not interested in. (That way if there's no result, you know there's either truly no result, or that you don't care anyway because you're not interested.)

Or perhaps most effective for the size goal would be just to cut images. Perhaps selectively include them depending on category - e.g. maybe you want them for science & technology categorised articles (diagrams) and geography, but can do without otherwise.
Retrocomputing FPGA work is a fun diversion from normal software, enough that my brain was convinced they weren't related (had a bit of a mental block for software). Over the course of a year, I went from knowing basically nothing to releasing 3 different FPGA emulation cores of my own for multiple platforms, along with releasing something like 5 ports (which is not necessarily trivial, particularly for a beginner) of existing cores to the Analogue Pocket.

It has been a very fun experience, and I've found it to be extremely addicting. It helps that there's a fairly tight-knit community very interested in furthering the development of FPGA hardware preservation, so people are very willing to donate, test, and contribute feedback, which is a great feeling for open source work.

It's an interesting and weirdly loaded angle to suggest that the only red meat foods are unhealthy (by picking unhealthy foods as examples). Consider this alternative phrasing:

> this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more venison, cabbage, and mash.

Is it really the best thing to be finding the correct soup of isolated nutrients to take in a multi-pill, as opposed to admitting that perhaps it can be healthy to include some red meat sources in your diet? Cutting out red meat is clearly not some panacea.
Huh? Having defer statements and error returns vs. dealing with exceptions gives Go the win all by itself.

And then there is the business of being able to make a type automagically satisfy an interface. (Java may have fixed some of the agony of creating classes just to satisfy a required interface. Last I used Java, it didn't have delegates and whatnot.)
The last couple of weddings I went to just had Polaroids on site (yeah, the old school kind). It was fun for attendees with none of the digital hassles. You can scan them (or not) afterward, but either way you have physical keepsakes, often signed by the guests!
Interesting -- I did not realize that the zip format supports lzma, bzip2, and zstd. What software supports those compression methods? Can Windows Explorer read zip files produced with those compression methods?

(I have been using 7zip for about 15 years to produce archive files that have an index and can quickly extract a single file and can use multiple cores for compression, but I would love to have an alternative, if one exists).
This was one of the troubles I always had with Java. It was very hard for me to reason about with some of the wildly nested inheritance.
Why do you think spending time on HN is better than Reddit?

Serious question, because I’m not sure I understand. Hope it doesn’t come off as antagonistic. I too wonder if the negative things Reddit does to me outweigh the positive, but never considered it was unique to Reddit rather than being true about all anonymous online communities.
With things like copilot, the boilerplate (if err != nil sorts of things) comes out really easily, and you can skim past it when reading.

Also, I have noticed that a lot of the other stuff that people call boilerplate in Go is actually an artifact of static typing (eg having to unmarshal JSONs before querying them), and is ultimately what prevents you from having Python-style runtime crashes or weird bugs.

> circuits do not "push" current

Except for inductors. See: Tesla coils.

If you forget a snubbing diode on a large motor (which is very inductive), you'll likely see some fires on your PCB. Inductors (and inductive loads) will push current even if the other side doesn't want it (ex: even if the other side is a 10 Gig-ohm resistance, the current will continue and possibly spike the voltage to millions-of-volts and shoot lightning out to allow the inductor to keep pushing the current)
> It would be really nice if there were a battery standard for power tools.

I agree!

There should be a standard for rechargable lithium battery packs at 1s, 2s 3s, etc. The US Congress does have the power to regulate interstate commerce.

> Step 2 of course is figure out how to fashion some sort of charging system so my magical godlike pocket super abacus continues to function after ~days

In the good old days of USB 2 I'm sure you can figure out how to get a stable-enough ~5V power supply that would charge the smartphone.

With USB-C you'd need to reinvent IC manufacturing and figure out a needlessly-fragile and overcomplicated protocol before the phone would even accept any power. Yay for progress!

I was about to ask where you're seeing such cheap hard drives, but then I checked diskprices.com and saw that yes, there are indeed some drives for <$10/TB (current lowest price is $8.332/TB, and there are only 10 drives that are <$10/TB; I'm only looking at new drives).

While Baby Boomer has a definition with a generally agreed upon starting date for births and a bit more fuzzy ending date, in recent years "boomer" has come to mean older people in general, usually those out of touch with current youth culture. From the perspective of a university student, a thirty year old giving advice on meeting people using OkCupid could be a boomer.
Yes. The aluminum chassis is basically a heat sink. The underside of the M1 Air heats up when the soc is under load. Cooling that spot will help cool the soc.

Is it the type of fat, or the process through which it's extracted, that's most important? I don't know if the answer is as clear as we'd like it to be.

Going back to the article: Isn't it possible that the trans fat in question is actually toxic like other trans fats, but in a way that's narrowly beneficial in this circumstance?

Traveller can be like that. I never got that far into it, unfortunately.

In games like that (or maybe in all games) it's important that all players are happy with the level of crunch. It's fine if everybody engages with the Spreadsheets in Space, it's also fine if everybody prefers to handwave it. But if some engage and some don't, you've got a problem.

I was afraid my players would consider Shadowrun too heavy and too much bookkeeping, but everybody was willing to commit to it and make it work. And I still handwave a lot because the Shadowrun rules are a mess.
Fun fact: The US government uses this same tactic on a bunch of immigration forms including the application for US citizenship. It asks questions like

Between March 23, 1933 and May 8, 1945, did you work for or associate in any way (either directly or indirectly) with the Nazi government of Germany?

Answering "YES" to some of these questions is often an easy path to rejection but if you lie about it, it gives the government an easy way to kick you out later without having to prove that you committed a crime.

The Mac had a distinction between “Eject” and “Put away” mostly as a relic of the days when it had a single 400k floppy drive, so “ghost” disks were used to keep track of however many disks you needed to juggle whatever task you were doing. For example, you’d boot the computer, eject the System and insert your application, start it, then eject the application and insert your document; the system would know about all 3 disks, and whenever it needed something off a different disk it would automatically eject and prompt you to “Please insert the disk: «Name»”.

In this world, the split makes perfect sense: you eject a disk when you want the drive slot to be free, but you don’t put it away until you’re done with it. Once hard disks became standard equipment, the floppy drive was relegated to data transfer and you almost always wanted “Put away”, but renaming the menu items to what new users expected would have confused existing users.
I think their point is that stupidity is an extremely effective force multiplier for evil, and it’s way more common.

I’m not sure I would buy the argument for the inverse.
Like the author, my favorite t-shirt of all time is an early 2010's American Apparel blend shirt, (though mine is a Stripe CTF3 winner shirt.) However, American Apparel changed something mid decade, and I've never been able to get anything close to as comfortable as those shirts.

a limit on liability, does not mean there is a limit on damages and tort.

This is exactly what Google intends it to mean. Good luck convincing a judge otherwise.

In some places, the fact there is no signed contract and no exchange took place (free tier) means there is no liability --- the user received everything they paid for.

Why not?

That's the question you should ask. Why not? About 50% of ads on Instagram and Facebook are pure scams, ie you'll pay for a product and they'll just take your money and you never hear from them again. Why not scam as many people as possible, even if you're a huge company like Google or Meta? It's not like people are going to switch to more honest services, they don't care even if they're the victim.

Often context matters. Something can be good for one cancer and bad for another. Or be good for cancer but bad for heart disease. Or bad for cancer but good for heart disease. Something may cause cancer if you force feed far more than a human could reasonably consume, but harmless at normal quantities.

which is why so many of us just say "moderation and eat a varied diet". Once in a while science settles on something that is true for everyone, but real science is hard.

No, it's probably implementation specific. They probably refered to some documents regarding the ongoing implementation of a DXC app. Remember that with the enterprise deals it is pretty custom how these things are deployed. CSC probably set something up for Transamerica, and then info about it leaked to TCS. Probably through one of the 2000 Transamerica employees they poached. I doubt there is any internal platform documentation that got leaked, or that CSC even has access to from its vendors that TCS doesn't. Who knows what kind of vendors are under the hood of this thing.

The people I asked for advice said that they'd prefer to download Google Photos to upload/view photos vs. a third-party service that didn't require them to download anything (i.e. Synology photo request).

My favorite thing about Go is that I can read a dependency’s source and there’s a very low probability that the author favors some totally different 30% of the language than I’m accustomed to, so I find it illegible without great effort.

The problem with smoking in particular is that it costs taxpayers obscene amounts of money compared to the other things you listed, in addition to straining the healthcare system which affects people who didn’t intentionally poison themselves.

Cigarettes are also a public nuisance, littering the streets and affecting other people with smoke. I can’t open the windows in my house due to chain smoking neighbours. These people have a right to smoke, yet I don’t have a right to breathe clean air in my own home - pretty unfair if you ask me.
Yup! RAW.

> A PC can make time for more than two activities, at a cost. Each additional activity from the list costs 1 coin or 1 rep. This reflects the time and resulting resource drain while you’re “off the clock” and not earning from a score. When you complete a new score, you reset and get two “free” activities again.

Spending coin on stress reduction certainly helps. If a player gets a 2-coin reward for a score, I'd hope they stashed one and burned one on something.

I could see AI content be better if humans took part of the time saved in producing an article from scratch and re-invested it in researching and editing to make the output higher value. If the idea however is to leave the AI to write the content with zero human intervention then it’s going to be the same SEO drivel we’ve been increasingly subjected to in the last decade, except at an unfathomable scale.
All makes sense; I went all in on the "no mouse" idea for a while and eventually came back.
