It's possible to encode arbitrary metadata in AsciiDoc in the form of "roles" (https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/text/text-span-...
) or "blocks" (https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/blocks/delimite...).

The oddball reStructuredText also has a similar system of "roles" and "directives", but its syntax is kind of painful to use and IMO AsciiDoc is easier to read and write.

And yet the grids in areas with a high level of nuclear power generation have been pretty stable in practice. Any type of power plant can have to shut down for emergency maintenance so there's nothing unique about nuclear plants there.

There are a variety of very real problems with nuclear power. But pointing those out does nothing to make renewables viable as a base load source.
Not a smart tv problem specifically, but the inability to adjust volume level while on mute (at least adjust down). I often turn the tv on after the rest of the household has gone to bed and it's way too loud, so I hit mute. But as soon as I hit volume down, sounds comes back on at the initial loud volume! Aargh. Only thing is to navigate away to a silent input, adjust volume, then navigate back to previous channel. Annoying. I have seen this feature once before (Sony I think).

> To start off: Datalog is distinguished from traditional SQL in its focus on heavily-recursive reachability-based reasoning.

This was historically true but SQL has CTE's and recursive CTE's these days, and even some extra syntactic sugar for reachability query's. And of course (given the former) "inference" and "deduction" over data are just a CREATE VIEW statement away. This is the "you know all of the rules up-front" part; a VIEW is just a query that you do know upfront. Most uses of "deductive" databases are just for querying within some in-memory database, which is not really playing in the same league as a fully general RDBMS. This is not intended to dismiss the work in OP, of course; if anything, its applicability need not be restricted to a tiny niche of software intended for specific application areas, and can be quite a bit broader than that.
It's not the GPS spec, it's the EPROM flying through space that now needs upgrades to sync itself.
Towards accurate differential diagnosis with large language models
This meta-analysis seems to have the usual flaw: Most diet regimens studied are minor variations of common, standard diets. As a result this shows the result of including fiber in a standard diet. Diets that vary significantly from standard such as vegan diets or so-called paleo or carnivore diets appear in some studies to generate very different results from additional fiber ingested with a standard diet. In short, fiber is great if you are eating a standard diet, but if you ingest a particular selection foods then the observed positive effects from fiber may disappear.

It's not conditioning. Frame rate is a tool in the toolbox, and more isn't always better, just like a colorized black and white film isn't better just because it has added information.

This is most easily apparent in animation, which frequently makes use of variable frame rates to achieve different effects and feelings, often even within elements of the same scene. A character might be animated at 12 fps while the background is at 8 fps. Bumping those all up to 60 would be an entirely different shot with very different vibes.
I think part of the answer was in your post- most students allowed the policy to continue. They used the Walkman out of sight without open defiance and unreasonable use. Once enough students tip over to "I'm going to use it and I don't care", the school can't do anything about it.

"Bring your own storage" so that you can sign up and provide a "bucket", then the service will read/write to that.

The remoteStorage protocol is one:
https://remotestorage.io/.
Sadly,
it seems remoteStorage never took off.
The first version of the spec was published in 2011,
and the reference implementation reached version 1.0 in 2017,
but if you look at the list of known apps that support it
(https://remotestorage.io/apps/),
there are few active projects.

Someone tell the film industry, so that they stop lighting and color-grading the movies and TV shows for ultrabright, turbo-HDR-enabled expensive TVs - almost no one has those, and even those who do mostly watch on their phones.

“A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam.” -- Frederik Pohl

Car, meet traffic jam. But few, if any saw this one coming. Oddly enough, today's readers would find any story based on this premise mundane - kind of like a story about a traffic jam.

From the article:

> “We do see a huge, huge difference in the way students are connecting with each other,” Smith said, later adding: “Just a short two years ago, they spent more time just looking down at their phones every moment that they could, and so it has become the culture of our building, and again, the kids seem happy.”

In the 1990s, a cell phone was an expensive toy. Today it's almost impossible to function as a member of society without one. Everyone, even, kids under 8, simply must own one of these damned devices, carry it around at all times, and respond to its every demand.

Public schools were a mess before all of this. But the cell phone has turned all of the problems in school up to 11. It has done so while offering little to nothing in return.
Hah, much more boring than that. Mostly working as a rails engineer and billing a day rate. They hired me, the company name just went on the paperwork :)
One thing stands out to me:

>The consumption of insoluble fiber tended to be more effective than soluble fiber intake in reducing the risk of total mortality and mortality due to CVD and cancer.

My hunch is that this is an epiphenomenon, and that what's actually happening is:

1. people eating large amounts of soluble fiber are consuming fiber supplements (e.g. psyllium husk); and,

2. people eating large amounts of insouable fiber are eating salads, etc.
If you are doing something that is basic CRUD (which, to be honest, is most of the business world, although it's not very sexy), then Django is the best. If you want to do something that doesn't fit very well into that idea, then Flask is good for "just give me a web wrapper and get out of my way".

You're conflating customs with immigration.

When you take a train from e.g. the Netherlands to Germany you're already within Schengen at the point of disembarkation.

The police might check your passport details, but you won't be "deported" back over the border you just crossed.

You might be deported from Schengen in its entirety, but then the fact that you just crossed a border isn't important, but e.g. that you overstayed a Schengen visa.

In cases where there is a border with a non-Schenhen country in Europe the train will stop approximately at the border, and you might be refused entry.

But for e.g. Austria to Germany the German police might board at the first German station after the bonder, and then walks the train as it's in motion. That's because it's a customs check.
I'm fairly certain that this has been the case in the past. I think i remember when wine was still very unstable some games ran better on linux than on windows. But the caveat was that some of the features were not translated via wine. For example some type of lightning or shading (as in shadows) technique... like you would just not have shadows. So back then it was said that games ran faster because the GPU did less work cause of the missing "features" when doing the translation.

Is this not the case anymore? Does proton translate all of the api calls from say dx12? Were the games tested in vulkan or dx12 and are we sure thy look the same visually?

> However the async is actively being worked on and does work (with some quirks)

I recently tried to implement it in a project using the new ORM a-methods (which AFAIK are not even async under the hood) and it resulted in an explosion of complexity bubbling up in many places in the codebase. I reverted everything to sync and re-implemented the hot functions with multi-threading... I think I'll keep to this approach until I see some good guides, codebase examples, and overall feature maturity.
At first, I bought into the "switch off weird (Ai) settings" talk.

Quickly, it became apparent that I couldn't come close to the overall picture quality potential with manual settings. This is for a late model qled. The chip and its auto-adjust capability are built for the panel.

So now I deal with some soap opera effect as a trade off for an amazing picture in every other respect. And I rarely notice the soap opera effect anymore. One gets used to it.

> I wasn't proposing ROOT to be reimplemented in JS. That was what the GP attributed to me.

Sorry for assuming that. I really felt the pain of thinking of possibility of combining two things I hate so much together (JS+ROOT)

> "Laypeople" may also think that code is optimized to the last cycle in something like HEP simulations. It's made fast enough and the optimization is nowhere near the level of e.g. graphics heavy games.

I understand that in other areas there might be more sophisticated optimizations, but does not change things much inside HEP field community. And it is not optimized only for simulations but for other things too. It is not one problem optimization.

> Real-time usage like high frequency large data collection will probably never happen on the "single language". But I'd guess ROOT is not used at that level either? Also at least last time I checked, ROOT is moving to Python (probably not for the hottest loops of the simulation though).

I did not mean to indicate that ROOT is being used to handle the online processing (In HEP terms). It is usually handled via optimized C++ compiled code. My idea is that you will probably never use JS or any interpreted language (or anything other than C++ to be pessimistic) for that. ROOT at the end of the day is much closer to C++ than anything else. So learning curve wouldn't be that much if you come with some C++ knowledge initially.

> Also at least last time I checked, ROOT is moving to Python (probably not for the hottest loops of the simulation though).

I think you mean PyROOT [1]? This is the official python ROOT interface It provides a set of Python bindings to the ROOT C++ libraries, allowing Python scripts to interact directly with ROOT classes and methods as if they were native Python. But that does not represent and re-writing. It makes things easier for end users who are doing analysis though, while be efficient in terms of performance, especially for operations that are heavily optimized in ROOT.

There is also uproot [2] which is a purely Python-based reader and writer of ROOT files. It is not a part of the official ROOT project and does not depend on the ROOT libraries. Instead, uproot re-implements the I/O functionalities of ROOT in Python. However, it does not provide an interface to the full range of ROOT functionalities. It is particularly useful for integrating ROOT data into a Python-based data analysis pipeline, where libraries like NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas ..etc are used.

> Off-topic: C++ interpretation like done in ROOT seems like a really bad idea.)

I will agree with you. But to be fair the purpose of ROOT is interactive data analysis but over the decades a lot of things gets added, and many experiments had their own soft forks and things started to get very messy quickly. So that there is no much inertia to fix problems and introduce improvements.

Of course it doesn't include any of that. It's "independent contracting".

Though keep in mind they're throttle e-bikes, so there isn't a lot of actual pedaling going on. And as far as accumulated workplace injuries go, merely riding a bike is pretty easy compared to a lot of blue collar work. No, I think what'd get you here is the crashes.
Content-addressed URL of the hunter2 IRC transcript
I'm sure most people here on HN already know about the famous hunter2 meme, but it turns out that it is quite hard to find and link to the original transcript, especially since it appears the original website (bash.org) is no longer active. This URL contains the sha2-256 digest of the transcript itself, so that it can be preserved indefinitely for posterity. static.space is a website I built to allow creating this kind of content-addressed URLs of existing content (e.g. text, images), to ensure that it can always be referenced even when the original location changes.

For me it's not the bad plot decisions, it's the tone. Every movie has the same "feel" to it. It's a milder version of the "algorithm optimized" tone of eighty percent of YouTube videos. Almost like every movie is being made by the same person. I think the reason I loved Dune is that it didn't feel fucking identical to everything else I watched in the last ten years.
Sometimes you just want something that's "small, quick 'n' dirty". Maybe not often, but enough times that it's the correct solution.

A merge-sort is better but it's a lot more complex to write and run.

Qemu works by translating a binary to an IR then doing stuff with it. Valgrind likewise. There's an optimiser called bolt (associated with facebook) which has the same idea.

That's like demanding that anytime a F1 driver takes a pit stop he should be fired. Obviously the pit stop itself doesn't improve the time, and he's just sitting still. Imagine if a driver was sitting still after the race started!?

Layoffs are not desirable for a company, but sometimes they are required. The fact that a CEO decides to go with layoffs when it's the right thing to do shouldn't be seen as a failure of the CEO. It's the pit stop that keeps the company from exploding if you just ignore all financial health markers and keep everyone employed until the money runs dry and you have to gut the business and sell of part to cover the bankruptcy.
I disagree.

You only really need to take those sources of error into account if you want an absolute measure of error, which as you explain, seems pretty impossible.

An error for weather only needs to be relative -- for example, if the error for rain today is higher than yesterday, it's not important the exact number higher that it is -- only that it's higher. (Not that I know if this is possible.)

It's like how you can't describe how biased a certain news source is or how to read a Yelp or Rotten Tomatoes review -- you just have to read it often enough to get an intuitive sense that a 4.1 star Yelp-rated restaurant with 800 reviews is probably good while a 4.6 star restaurant with 5 reviews is quite possibly terrible.
> Once enough students tip over to "I'm going to use it and I don't care", the school can't do anything about it.

The school can totally do something about that, they just have to be willing to confront the student and enforce the rules.
Well, I didn't expect that to get so many comments.

It looks like there are a lot of people with perfectly valid reasons to keep some or all of these settings on. Which is great. I will rewrite the article to reflect that — and change the title to something more neutral and less absolutist.

This is an odd take.

Firstly: No one on the mass market actually knows what 3:2 pulldown is, so it's hard for people to see it as an indicator of 'quality' -- most of HN, a technical audience, probably doesn't know what it is either: For reference, it's when a 24 frame per second film is converted to 29.97 frames by by interlacing 4 frames together to create 5 frames. That and a tiny bit of a slowdown gets you to 29.97, which is the NTSC frame rate.

Secondly: Why do people in traditionally PAL regions also hate the soap opera effect? Again, for reference, PAL regions ran at 25 frames per second and so got away with a 4% speedup and a 2:2 pulldown that has no real frame-blurring effect.

Thirdly: Generally, I prefer higher frame rate content: I have a 144Hz monitor, and prefer content as close to that as I can, but I still hate watching The Hobbit -- a lot of this has to do with motion blur: 48 frame per second content is not fast enough to get away with appearing seamless, and not slow enough that the per-frame motion blur you get with 24 frame per second 180 degree shutter hides the stuttering.
What's the benefit of rooting and jailbreaking a Chromecast? You can already cast anything you want to them, so I'm assuming there must be added functionality.

One, students that don't listen used to be removed. So, potential totally yes.

Two, I expect her to put a lot of personal effort into becoming at expert in motivation, behavior management, discipline for kids. I expect her to at least read ONE book about this. She complains for 2+ years about this that I've known her. I recommend books, she gets insulted and explains why it's not relevant.

IMO a teacher being paid $90k a year for 7 hours a day of work, 10 months a year, should be working hard to improve. But instead it's just a cushy job that no one gets fired from no matter how average (or below) they are.

Ps, I have never seen her take work home once in 2 years. So don't say the hours are long.

Tldr; I'd like her to do whatever other teachers that have better control of their classrooms do. Unless you're going to tell me there's zero variation in that amongst teachers.

LG webOS in my opinion is the least bad out of all the smart TV operating systems, and so far (we have a few of these at home & at work) I don't really feel the need to root them as they are ad-free and working fine even after several years of auto updates. This lack of enshittification has urged me lately to buy and prefer LG products over Samsung et al.
