badthink: the Fukushima backup generators must be placed on a platform to keep them out of the range of a once in a millenium tsunami

goodthink: what happens when a typhoon comes and damages the generator on an exposed platform; an event which happens predictably and far more often than tsunamis. Answer: put the backup generators in the basement of a reactor building behind a large seawall. What catastrophe could put the reactor building completely underwater, and still have the reactor survive?

Yeah, trivial changes to the design can prevent all sorts of disasters, but you have to know what you are trying to prevent in a world of infinite complexity

> What if we...i don't know, actually helped people!?

This I support 100%.

> paid for by the state/federal level

This I can't. That's not "we" in any sense or form; that's other people's money taken away from them by violence or threat of violence.

If you encourage people to help others (as we should!), then we should help people ourselves. Not delegate it to others, especially if they're not doing it voluntarily.
Did you leave out the Philippines on purpose? Isn't it kind of the posterboy for executions of this nature?
Shame is just another social control tool. Who holds the stick, and what they seek to accomplish with the beatings is a more interesting question IMO.

>"In your world, without TSA or similar authority, plane hijacking wouldn't become a regular weekly occurrence?"

I think the answer lies in your phrase "similar authority." One idea is to privatize this job. The TSA culture is a joke. This is an agency who have failed to understand that their mandate is to protect people and that they are there to serve. Instead they treat flying public like adversaries while browbeating and infantilizing them. They seem to imagine that their mandate is to stress people out and confiscate toothpaste. It's hard to imagine a ruder public agency. Not all of course as sometimes you do get nice folks who understand they are there to serve. This is generally the exception though. It's so exceptional that when it does happen it's kind of shocking.
I still use a lot of nvi on openbsd. and it has a strange quirk to it's undo.

so "u" undoes your last action. but if you hit it again it undoes the undo, a redo if you will. I did not really think about it much, just accepted that was how nvi worked, a single level undo. But that is not true at all. the trick is you have to "u" undo then "." repeat previous action and you get the full undo stack. and, like the parent post mentioned, you also get a full redo stack the same way. Get it to redo then repeat previous action.

I am not exactly sure what vim does, But I suspect this is one of it's improvements.
Well let's put it in perspective. The GDP of germany is smaller than the overwhelming majority of US states. That's not the whole US, that's each state by themselves. Americans are more productive by an order of magnitude.

Not that the various European nations don't have things to offer or aren't doing novel things. There's plenty that they do, but the sheer volume that the US produces across the spectrum including novel things is unmatched by a long shot.
The problem was solved by locking the door to the cockpit.
I have a couple thoughts -

0.it looks nice and colorful.

1. You can't right-click a stock and open in a new tab. The back button doesn't seem to work consistently.

2. Your top winner today is currently SRAX (up 10¢ / 400%). Now, Friday it was up 10¢, today it's down 8¢. Either way, it's a penny stock and you should filter out garbage like that. Also #2, GLSTR.

3. In the dividends calendar, you might want to include a column for annualized dividend percent.
> Time travel and the regional undo

Jetbrains’ IDEs have both of them and more.
The feature is called “Local History”. [1]
You can see the history of an file, a selected region of text, or even your entire project. It can undo file deletions/moves/renames.
It feels like a personal “automated git without the git hassles”.

Does anyone know the forums where people create bills for laws like the one discuss and think they’re doing good?

I don’t want like paranoia based forums, I want the one where intelligent people are synthesizing laws with the correct lingo, laws that create power for the state and pass it to their favorite senators

I would like to see how they think about things

I don't really buy the perpetual “us vs them” mentality I’m presented with, and maybe there is a more holistic approach to collaborating with their sentiment if there was more communication
IIRC this (returning a full database with a schema as a result of a query) has been proposed before in categorical databases, see https://www.categoricaldata.net/
I had to purchase an iPhone solely to use iMessage. Believe me, I would have loved to use any other internet-based chat app. But I just can't move my entire social circle to a different app. The network effects and friction are too high.

The only thing end users really have control over is their own client. I don't know if they'll succeed in the long run, but I'm really rooting for beeper

Show HN: RK Test, a Google Test style library written in C99
I really like Google Test, but am planning on doing some embedded development in C, where I sometimes find it awkward to test C code using a C++ library.

Therefore, I wrote a small unit test library closely mimicking Google Test. It consists of two source files, "rktest.c" and "rktest.h", and is about 1k lines of code and written in C99.

It uses a trick for self registering tests by placing pointers to the unit test functions into a known place in program memory, that I first learned about from https://github.com/christophercrouzet/rexo/ and https://github.com/Snaipe/Criterion/.
So what, we continue empowering our state-sponsored thugs to harass, detain, charge and imprison more and more people for the use of substances we've decided are too bad for them, while we continue selling cigarettes, alcohol, etc. to everyone else?

Decriminalization is the only ethical way to move forwards. For decades now we have abused our own populace and those of other countries to the point of parody in the name of this prohibition, and, shock of shocks, it has failed, just like prohibition did, with the added benefit of we have the documents from the Nixon administration who were quite ready to say, behind closed doors anyway, that the entire point from the start of the war on drugs was openly to fuck with hippies and black people at scale, and that was before the CIA was flooding ghettos across the country with drugs to find/launder money for their operations.

None of this has ever been about the fucking drugs, it has always been yet another cudgel wielded by the state to further it's own ends. IF we decide we need to regulate substances based on actual scientific documented evidence, not puritan sensibilities of sin and vice, then so be it and we can figure that out after the fact. But until then, the entire existing systemic infrastructure for it is frankly, poisoned. It is not fit for the task it is entrusted and should be destroyed.

Burn it down, and start over.
It’s easier for a stoic to lie to everybody about how they control their own happiness, than it is for a stoic to actually force themselves to be happy. Feigned happiness is useful enough that it doesn’t matter if stoic belief of emotional control is a fantasy, when everybody believes you can control your emotions you tend to be socially rewarded.
I usually understand that as "you manage it".
It's often used as an aggravating factor in another crime. If you're caught with a gun and some drugs then it usually makes the gun crime radically more severe.

What are these "practically infeasible (or very expensive) associated programs" in your view (genuine question)
I'm struggling to understand the purpose of this.

If I understand it correctly, for a query with joins, then instead of returning a single combined set of results with the information you need, it returns multiple sets of results based on each separate table.

But I don't understand why that would ever be desirable.

I always write my queries to return the information I need, per whatever "key" I need, in each row. Splitting that up in multiple sets of results is not helpful.

Or if I really need multiple sets of data, I write multiple queries.

So I really don't get what this is for. It's like it takes one of the biggest features of databases -- joins -- and removes it? Why?
Gay is actually a capable academic administrator - she led Harvard's Faculty of Arts & Sciences for years before taking over Mass Hall.

But she's not going to last after the testimony last week and the University's earlier response to the crisis. Regardless of the faculty and student support, it's clear some of the biggest donors (and likely a significant number of midsized and smaller donors) will never support her, and/or will be second-guessing every major statement, appointment, or policy move. In resignation statement language, she's become a "distraction" to the mission of the university.

There's precedence for Harvard presidents to leave suddenly, including Larry Summers nearly 20 years ago. Former president Derek Bok took over on an interim basis. Something similar will happen here, maybe Drew Gilpin Faust or another trusted former leader.
Caffeine does nothing for me, I drink it for the taste / force of habit, and can actually cut it out indefinitely. Yes, I also have adhd.
Quite an uncanny vibe to that idea. Just my opinion.
The word schema is the format that the data must adhere to, not the data itself, at least in the rest of computing, and the literal meaning is very close to that. So that is a bad word to use for a bunch of data, whereas database is clearly means a bunch of data.
Apple supporting RCS should fix this, hopefully.
Perhaps the problem is lack of magic pixie dust. If we voted for leaders with the magic dust, everything would be solved.

I commented a few times here over the years criticizing decriminalization as it came up as an option, against loud / vociferous people saying, how can you continue to embrace criminal penalties that clearly aren't working. As if it were crazy to believe that people need laws to obey.

I said that you can make all the rational step-wise choices in the world, and find yourself led down a path to oblivion, where you've made drug use not a crime, and find yourself in a drug-problem-overwhelmed city.

Lo and behold, we find years later, people awaken to the fact that decriminalization might not work, and countless people having left the city because of it, and probably more importantly, tons of people falling victim to the scourge of drugs.

Sometimes, as unkind as it sounds and expensive as it is, you need to enforce some harsh laws and have people understand that you won't tolerate certain behaviors, lest your society fall apart.

Distributed training infra/libs have made insane progress since the Megatron era.
I have worked with Megatron codebase to train larger than 175B models a few years back, a lot of the boilerplate that you find in those 20k LoC you could remove today by just importing deepspeed or other distributed training libs.

Cerebras' point still stands though, even if you can get the LoC count down significantly nowadays, it's still a major PITA to debug those systems, deal with node crashing, tweak the architecture and the data-loading pipeline to have high GPU utilization, optimize network bottlenecks etc.
Scaling vertically first like Cerebras is doing surely makes that much easier.

On a tangentially related note, this is imho where OpenAI has built it's moat: training and inference stack that they have refined over the last 6 years. They have good researchers, but so does MS, Google and Meta. But no one else has the ability to train such large models with such ease. Same for the inference stack, being able to run GPT-3.5/4 in prod at the scale at which they are doing it is no joke, and I'm 100% convinced this is why Gemini is still not widely available a year after 3.5 came out.
It sounds like CLEAR is doing what Precheck promised to do? I refuse to get it because me paying money for them to do a background check and make their process more efficient is completely backwards.

What's going to happen when CLEAR becomes saturated and slows down -- a fourth tier of passenger?
This embeds a lot of assumptions without offering any proof. The programs may or may not be too expensive to be practically feasible, but without supporting evidence there's nothing concrete to talk about.

And how do you do that?
what is SLAPP in this context?
The 'officials' did not do that. The voters did, it was state ballot measure. They decriminalized Drugs, to encourage treatment. And moved quite a large percentage of taxes from Marajuana dispenseries to help pay for it. Then left the Oregon Health Authority in charge of distributing the money to build all these new treatment facilities. (Oregon is near the bottom in treatment centers per capita in the US).

The Oregon Health Authority then sat on that money for several years, bickering about procedures, policies, etc, and not a single dollar was sent out for several years after the law changed.

Treatment centers are finally starting to get open, years late. In the meantime, we spent years decriminalizing the drugs, while then guiding people into treatment, with no actual treatment available to them (and literally amassing hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for it, before spending anything)
They can dissolve cellulose into carbon disulphide and this process allows complete removal of lignin and it is drawn into viscose strands. (rayon)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon there are several processes. There may be even better ones to discover. If these clear fibers are embedded in a clear curing resin under vacuum it may be possible to make a very clear pane by matching the refractive index of the viscose strands and the polymer. With a very close match in indices and zero scattering voids in the strands, it should be possible to make a very clear fiber reinforced panel.
Nah, it pretty much is, for anyone wanting to continue living in a United States. Even tax cut libertarians should recognize that the least just taxation system is random, which is what you are essentially advocating. Moreover, unplanned income drops are a huge problem for government finance, and by extension, corporate finance. A competent government produces a budget, a tax schedule, and raises debt to meet any planned deficits.

Constitutionally, the House holds the purse strings, not the Supreme Court, and overturning 200 years of precedent here is not in anybody's best interest.
I'm investing in INTC as well, but I really hope this bombing and war never happen and would rather my INTC plummets...
Interesting that several of the works I have collected that mean the most to me are monoprints. With this form the material for printing is assembled only once and may include items that may be transformed by the printing process. Sounds like this person is not familiar with monoprints as a format.
But you don't have to have everything in place to do the basics. Use private keys stored normally on the device. If they get stolen or leaked, brick iMessage on those devices and show a message saying, "Your system has been compromised and can't use iMessage until you visit an Apple Store or call 1-800-..." Then just hand out a new private key at the store or over the phone with little friction, but track which customers are given new keys and how often. If there's a trend of someone receiving a bunch of new keys, investigate them before issuing more.

Or just allow a user to obtain a new private key via their iCloud account and associate the key with that account so that it can't be used to send messages unless you're signed into that account.

Newer devices that can protect their keys don't need that, and you phase the old process out over time.
“any other communication service provider who has access to wire or electronic communications either as such communications are transmitted or as such communications are stored”

How is "access" defined? Do E2EE messenging services have "access" (I mean legally, not technically or philosophically)? Possibly that particular phrase (maybe not others) is written to exclude them.
I don't think that EU lagging behind USA is specifically about this or that regulation or not leaning into blockchain(scratched) into NNs. To have a major shift and possibly (but not guaranteed) success EU need to become a federation. There, I said the forbidden words :) . Filthy imperialist and all that. Having a unified laws (a-la USA), unified army, politics (or rather the lack of unilateral blocking of any policies which exist today, promoting Orban-ism everywhere), unified standards from power sockets to rail signalling and power delivery will free the immense amount of resources. Even with heavier regulations EU Federation would be a MUCH more interesting giant market for new companies than it is today.

Yes. This is arguably the most infuriating implementation of undo/redo that I've used in any application.

It's worse than an undo that just wipes-out the document. In that scenario I'd just not use the feature.

The behavior in Excel tricks you into using the feature by working as you'd expect in a single document scenario. Then you open a second document and end up trashing one or the other when you undo the wrong thing.

I don't know how anybody ever thought this implementation was the right answer. Ever.
> To this day I know no relative or close friend of mine who ever drank any alcohol, nor one which used any drugs.

That's pretty normal for even some secular (non religious) Americans of European ancestry and their friend groups, I (as one) observe. We were far more interested in sports so that booze would be an interruption in ... sports, for example. I do not know how common that is.

> But ofc this is the unthinkable for West.

No, it's not. (See above.) The thing is that "westerners" that match your friend groups definitely exist with their own matching westerner friend groups, which i guess is a happy surprise. it might be we're not obvious though, to your point.

I think “multiple tables” would be clearest for the submission. Or if it is the case “all tables in the database schema” or “all tables in all schemas of the database the user can access”

The overloading horse has bolted so might as well aim for clarity for the intended audience.

When I see just the word “Database” my brain treats it as a wildcard could be many things (like State could be a country or a state of a country)
How would this even work?

A rehabilitation program requires a very high level of trust from those seeking help, especially so if the program is trying to pull people off of the streets.

Re-criminalizing drug usage would make it difficult to convince people that they won't be arrested.

Admittedly, I don't know how this problem has been approached elsewhere and what was needed to actually improve things.
While I personally tend towards decriminalisation, a raging, emotive and fact-free posts like this is just plain counter-productive.
Congressional committees and hearings? Alternatively lobby groups.
There seems to be some confusion about precheck. Most people get precheck by doing “global entry”, which dramatically shortens the time required for US citizens to re-enter the US. Pre-check is a side benefit of global entry. Global entry pre-dates precheck.
