> Hobbies are often heavily gendered.

> But otherwise I think it's pretty obvious men typically go very hard into their new hobbies

I'm a man. The other day I wanted to see if there was a way to fix one of my daughter's Barbie dolls and ended up in a huge rabbit hole of Barbie dolls collectors, which you can peruse (at your own risk) in r/Barbie, YouTube and others. These are (mostly) grown women obsessing about their dolls collections, swapping heads and bodies, re-rooting hair, fixing damaged hair, sewing their own custom clothes, asking questions about "color charts" (to match parts from different dolls), re-painting face details from scratch and consulting authoritative databases that list every Barbie head by year and detail which bodies use it. Some tattoo their dolls. One had replicated the main characters from Cyberpunk 2077, meaning she was also a cyberpunk and videogame nerd.

There are some men there too, but I grant you it's mostly women. Their attention to detail and obsession with their hobby rivals model train enthusiasts.

I think in this day and age there's a hobby for anything, and women are not only not excluded from this trend, but tend to be passionate about it.

I've also found women who are nerds about coffee, mind you. Many have YouTube channels about this.
There's a quite influential electronic music label called Mille Plateaux [0], named after Deleuze's work. Label founder Achim Szepanski often quoted Deleuze in interviews and liner notes. I found that somewhat pretentious b/c I could hardly grasp any of that. Still, Mille Plateaux released quite a few absolutely timeless classics.

I usually write small functions for postprocessing the proposed layouts from the default algorithms. So far this was always more than sufficient.

The point of the comparison was to compare the stock growth during the tenures of the two CEOs in question. Steve Ballmer ceased to be CEO in 2014.
Every system has holes that get discovered in time. Leaving those holes open is a different thing.
I've had strong success with trivial object management & explicitly invoking GC on a delay that is some small multiple of the simulation delay. The sweet spot seems to depend on scene content and style of gameplay (how the scene objects are mutated). For Q3A-style scenes and gameplay, it is extremely robust. Very few scene elements change tick by tick, so GC pauses are mostly irrelevant.

More specifically with .NET6+, I am seeing GC pauses measured in the 1~5ms range in my DIY engines when I strategically call GC.Collect() on a rapidly-recurring basis. Another tweak I made was to disable concurrent/server/background GC in the project config. Foreground+workstation GC appears to provide the lowest jitter in this arrangement. My engine's main loop operates on batches of events pulled from a ring buffer abstraction, and if one of those events just so happens to be a scheduled GC, then I deal with it right there in-line on the same thread. I do not attempt to defer it to a GC thread or some other weirdness.

The only strategic options seem to be to either explicitly manage all the memory 100%, or take out the trash as often as possible. You could also entertain the cruise missile GC strategy, but Microsoft has made it nearly impossible to completely disable GC in latest .NET without employing black magic low level DLL hackery. I can definitely see a situation where you don't care about GC because you can just recycle the process between business events, rounds of gameplay, etc. Process.Exit() is a viable GC technique in some domains.
As an omnivore who tries to eat more plants and less meat, I'm going to recommend my favorite food blogger I discovered this year: https://rainbowplantlife.com/

The author is a vegan Indian-American cook, and her recipes are delicious and easy for me to follow as a moderately-experienced home cook. The first I tried was her tofu palak paneer (https://rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-palak-paneer-with-tofu/) but pretty much everything I've made has been a hit.
Why not just invest in jxl
I did a bachelor in Software Engineering which is a bit more practical than Computer Science and while it really had quite a bunch of interesting practical subjects like communication, agile, waterfall etcetera there was absolutely nothing about QA.
Absolutely. I think we are not going to see the end of that inflation anytime soon because of that. We have nothing to put in front of Google, Apple, Microsoft. Nothing.

The issue though is we need to federate. We are not Europe yet really but a bunch of small countries. The political setup is not there for big tech companies to thrives.
The people who actually work for Tesla do not refuse to do business with Tesla.

It's other people who want to exercise their customary (but not really legal) right to extract private taxes who try to force Tesla to comply by sabotaging their business.
Ask HN: To anybody who has tried this, does it gum up the grinder?
"If you have an enforceable claim on something, then you own it. If your claim is not enforceable then you possess it."

Let me repeat myself for clarity. You can own a property with a reversion. You can own a leashold with a reversion. They are both enforceable claims. You can exclude people for the term of your lease. How is that not an enforceable claim? You said an enforceable claim means ownership. I think you were mistaken in saying because it's not true.

Now you are caveating it to portions of a whole. But a leasehold is for the entirety, just for a term.

Beeper fixed their other iMessage bridge service last night by rotating device serial numbers on their server farm, so I would guess this would work? To my knowledge the pypush library itself isn't broken.
Go EU, make "The Right to Read" real life!
You are correct. I indeed remembered that not even the ambassador was summoned, but according to https://www.dw.com/de/nsa-sp%C3%A4hangriff-us-botschafter-ei... at least that did happen.
We humans are a bizarre lot.

We build complex systems and environments that alienate and marginalize massive groups of people and then, rather than recognizing that as a failure of the system, we frame the problem as one of individual responsibility to adjust.

But, the system probably feels like it is still working working well enough for the folks running the WSJ to continue their support of it, so we get articles like this.
And if you read or watch much about all the musicians reviewing their Spotify Wrapped this year vs how much they were paid, you’d see that we’re already there. The value of their work went to music streaming services and everyone using their music in their productions, very little made it back to the creators.
I honestly think it's stupid.

Person A won't be identified because of being Chinese, he will be identified because of being a second generation immigrant that has a Chinese diet, interest in STEM and has a Chinese name.

The reason there are racial stereotypes is because there are trends among different races and skin color is a very evident trait for humans to identify. AI will draw the trends from everything else instead, which will draw the same picture, but skipping one specific parameter because it feels icky for humans.

Assume an increased chance of someone being interested into the arts and liberal because of dyed hair? Sure! Assume an increased chance of knowing Spanish because of being Hispanic? Ew no that's prejudiced.

It's so very stupid.
It's much appreciated
sounds great, will definitely check it out in the new year!
The opposite. It helps with retention.
Shouldn't be that difficult to explain. I think the concept is called "tasty" :) And there is plenty of food with that property. Meat wouldn't even rank in top 10.
The tongue has a set of receptors that fire for cooked meat. So yes, it is in fact the protein. I grew up and we learned about the 4 tastes and then stumbled across this a whole back and was fascinated. It probably explains why cooking meat first caught on.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami
I don't feel like I have to try and restrict my meat consumption consciously at all, and I eat about 80 lbs a year, which is less than half of what was in this diet. I very much doubt that someone who was trying to come up with a "healthy" omnivorous diet in a vacuum would include 6-8 ounces of meat per day. Neither the American nor global averages were meant to be examples of what "should" be eaten, they were merely reference points. Even the USDA recommends less than 6 ounces per day, and if I had to guess, their recommendations are, if anything, on the high side.

And of course, all of this is ignoring that this study is hopelessly confounded with caloric differences between the two diets.
Let me guess, it requires a lot of money. Every time I read an article about physics research I lose respect for the field. They're always asking for more money and promising breakthroughs that just end up being disguised weapons research for the military-industrial complex.
Mostly through hobbies/interests:

1. Photography

Day-to-day levels don’t matter for a lot of the compounds of interest at the levels we’re talking about. In fact it generally takes a while for levels to adjust in any measurable or meaningful way.

The latest Bard is good, but at this time (Dec 2023), Bard is still not better than paid ChatGPT 4 in my experience.

I use both daily (I use ChatGPT on my phone and at home, Bard at work because work doesn't allow ChatGPT). ChatGPT 4 still provides the highest quality answers to the range of questions I'm interested in. Bard's getting better with Gemini but it's still not good.

Claude is great at summarizing PDFs and has one of the longest context windows, but the quality of answers it has to general questions is still lacking. Outside of summarization, I have little confidence in Claude's Q&A abilities.

I've also been using Perplexity.ai and I would say it hits a sweet spot and is impressive. It's essentially a RAG-based search engine that's fast and snappy and it works much better than Bing or ChatGPT Bing. Because it's primarily RAG driven, the content is primarily external and you get links to original sources so you can verify the answer. This means the level of hallucination is lower than foundational models. It's become a practical tool for me. It's CoPilot feature, which asks clarifying questions about your query, has been helpful for finding new products. For instance, I was looking for luggage packing cubes that convert to hanging cubes. It's a known product class but I didn't know the lingo, but over a few clarifying iterations, it was able to help me find the right product.
Most do. Some, like Nikon Z8 and Z9, don't.
I just spritzed my headphones and the audio quality is definitely better
That makes me think about this: the EU and US won't be allowed to train properly their large model because they won't be allowed to use online data. China won't care and they will have higher quality AI generated content.

Almost 60% of America is in the theme park.
I agree. The obsession with "blue bubbles" is something I only hear about from tech writers. No one I communicate with in the real world has ever mentioned it. Supposedly teenagers care about this, but that seems like a poor basis for anti-trust action.

At the same time, I miss the era of rich third party client ecosystems for things like AIM or MSN messenger. Blocking interoperability is a bummer for innovation.
We can all see your failure to engage with what I actually said, and we also all know that the fact that we have successful and prominent Black people in American society, including a former president, does not mean that there isn't a lot of racism and discrimination against a lot of Black people in the US. You must think the rest of us are stupid.
i’m not sure a single thing you wrote in here is true. it feels like each sentence is further than the previous.

we set them loose with the wolves, and it was fun? i don’t think this is true.

> We understand reason and organization because we have explored the chaos.

again, i don’t think this is true either. there are many ways we can learn reason, and if by chaos, youre implying from your previous paragraph, we can only understand reason if we’ve roamed in chaos with wild animals, this is absurd from front to back.

> You don’t get wise men from boring kids.

Again, this is just more meaningless phrase, with no basis in reality.

I know plenty of wise people who had extraordinarily boring lives growing up.

I know plenty of “fully functional” adult humans who had entirely unremarkable and non-chaotic childhoods.

I would even venture that the literal opposite of everything you said is true, the most broken and screwed up people I know grew up in chaos while the most sane, rational (and yes, wise) people were “boring kids.”

Many formats have stuff like that (like cover art in MP3 ID3 tags), but usually they're used for, well, ancillary purposes.

It's dangerous to use this to change the actual primary output of the file (the image), especially in a way that users and editors can't easily detect.

Can you be more specific? It clearly mentions encryption-as-a-service and secrets generation as advantages of Vault, among others.

The point of the comparison is not to have an itemized list of every feature, but to compare the most important features and tradeoffs at a high level. It includes the disclaimer that Vault could be better for some more complex use cases (as I have also done here in my reply to you).
Historically, wherever Islam is in majority or has political power, they have problems with non-muslims, unless the latter become muslims. In fact, Christians have had problems with Jews too. One core element of anti-semitism stems from Christianity as a religion: for more, read James Carroll's Constantine's Sword:The Church and the Jews, A History
I remember in college playing Counter Strike religiously, until one time during a game I got a call from my furious theatre director asking where I was and why I wasn't at rehearsal. I had completely lost track of time, and was so ashamed that I uninstalled the game that night, and even now years later I haven't reinstalled it since. Obviously I never missed another rehearsal, and it helped my grades too.
> Neither Jordan, nor Syria, nor Egypt want Palestinians, but Israel should welcome them?

Poster didn't say that those countries shouldn't also let Palestinians live there.
This attitude is OK at a personal level, but telling a schizophrenic homeless person they just need to adapt and overcome wouldn't be acceptable. There's a lot of mental disorder out there and abandoning the "neuro-whatevers" to figure it out themselves when society is entirely designed for neurotypical thought patterns is an injustice. You don't blame someone with dyslexia for not being able to read, you try to help them learn a skill society assumes they will have.

There has to be a middle ground.

>Eggs are nearly the perfect food.

Usually I think of potatoes when thinking about a perfect food.
Nope. I use a little spray every time I grind. Also used to wet a fingertip and stir the beans with it for the same effect. I'm not grinding for espresso, but reducing static is nice for cleanliness and minimizing grind retention. Tons of coffee nerds have been using this technique for many years now, never heard of it causing grinder issues.
Looking good Illinois, keep it up. Will pair nicely with all the wind and solar if it can get built. And bipartisan legislation too!
As far as I can tell all Spotify's playlists (in all forms, e.g. including "random" and "track radio") use weighted algorithms based on several factors like user's play history, Spotify's recommendations (probably includes paid promotions), general artist's popularity, etc.

When I still used Spotify, I would get a dozen of my favorite artists mixed into basically any "playlist" I pick. Was one of the reasons I quit Spotify - they are too opinionated on what I should listen to.
It's Incredible how many people here are ok with genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The axiom is that the EU is such an important market that it can dictate terms to the world. Such as the landmark success of persuading Apple that it may as well use USB on mobile phones.

It's not as clear that it's better to give up on artificial intelligence than to give up on Europe. When your axioms are unsound, you can derive nonsense from them. So yep, it seems Europe isn't going to be the future of machine intelligence, to the astonishment of noone.

My recollection is that pescatarian significantly outperforms all other eating patterns in terms of mortality, when treated as a distinct group. It is infrequently broken out in large studies, unfortunately. This also often isn't highlighted in the headlines for these studies, probably because they get more engagement along the popular "meat or plant" angle.
> The system wasn't designed with those 3rd party clients, and security around them, in mind.

It sure as heck better have been designed with that in mind, because it sends SMS messages to uncontrolled 3rd party clients that could be stealing your information or spying on push notifications every single time you message an Android user.

I genuinely don't understand this argument. Do people think that SMS messages don't generate push notifications? Does Apple have a 1st-party SMS messenger available on Android that I'm not aware of? You're already communicating with 3rd-party clients that could be spying on you, and you're already receiving messages from those clients in the iMessage app. The biggest difference is that your messages with those clients today are fully unencrypted, so spying on them doesn't even require compromising an app.

It's weird for people to be so concerned about push notifications as if that's a decrease in security when the alternative system they're proposing is for iOS messages to be sent to Android devices fully unencrypted. Apple/Google can share all of that information with the government as well; if they're not being asked to it's only because the government can get it even more easily directly from the telcos.

Ghee is a type of butter, so not vegan.
I tested that once on an old Black+Decker burr grinder by changing the OEM ungrounded plug to a grounded one. The superstructure was mostly plastic so grounding the whole unit wasn't possible, so I attached a length of grounded bare copper wire and ran it into the hopper after drilling a tiny hole (which made the polystyrene crack and require gluing). The results were not as I hoped: the bare wire thankfully seemed to conduct a lot of the static, but that meant the copper wire was coated in the grounds. The end result was that empthing the hopper was pretty well just as messy as without grounding.

Your results may/will vary, and I never attempted other grinder grounding ideas. I bought a KitchenAid KCG8433DG, which does not have any issues with static.
But Daddy, I WANT it?!
IGV is very nice for viewing sequence data. I've never loaded anything into it that wasn't already prepared to be loaded into it, but this is probably fairly easy to do. It's really nice for viewing three-frame translation to look at the proteins encoded by DNA, but for eukaryotes you have to pay attention to mRNA splicing even if you know the boundaries of the protein coding sequences.

Edit: Since you use Nebula's service, have you emailed them to ask what they recommend for genome viewing and analysis?
We certainly need more regulation to prevent this kind of buying. But that is clearly not the mood at the moment.

If you want your life protected from the rubber hose, you need to be able to allow access to the data. But, that doesn't necessarily protect your life: if they don't like the data they see, then they'll keep trying to extract more keys.

If you want your data to be safe from the rubber hose, you need to have inconvenient access requirements. If your laptop can only be unlocked when 5 keys are turned 'simultaneously', and the keys are held by the ambassadors to the UN with security council vetos, that's going to be hard to accomplish for you, and likely difficult for any one else. Any one of the ambassadors could plausibly lose their key, and then the data is gone, etc.
Meta’s strategy and approach for Threads really baffles me. They’ve rolled out an app that is supposed to be a Twitter/X competitor, but they’ve not implemented most of the features that make Twitter successful, specifically hashtags, trending, For You and search.
Since the Dropbox update for macOS on File Provider, I moved to Google Drive (it works, but I didn't want to rely too much on Google, I already use it for my email and photo auto-archive).
So I moved recently to Proton Drive (they released their macOS app 3 weeks ago), but boy its really buggy. So now I'm considering moving back to Dropbox...
I've read that sync.com is great too, but not sure I want to pay another provider just yet...
Yes, but that's not real software.

If we had score voting we wouldn't have to choose between an artificial two choices, the winner of which having barely any resources to actually accomplish anything. I'm interpreting the small amount of money as representing fear to do what the majority of their voters want, lest they lose a crucial 1-2% from the middle.
That might be true, but my impression is that the algorithm is weighted, so some artists (more popular in general, recommended, played more often by that individual user, would get picked more frequently by the "random" algorithm).
Due to aggregate supply constraints due to the pandemic there were not enough aggregate goods. Also the pandemic dramatically constrained spending and increased savings, which then rebounded sharply after it was done, creating a tidal wave of aggregate demand. The result was rising prices.

And that is against a background of 10 years of ZIRP and the government threw money at corporations through PPP and blunted the effect of the pandemic recession and we were clearly against the inflection point of the short-term phillips curve.

Market forces should entirely predict all of this.

(And companies are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS "greedy", the headline line should probably be something like "Millennials wake up one morning and discover how capitalism has worked all along [SHOCKED]").
