I feel like this is looking for a cultural explanation to a feeling, which might actually be systemic.

It's much harder to have fun when you struggle paying for food and lodging, and that's what results from decades of inflation greater than salary progression, and concentration of property.

I also doubt if people really had more fun in the past¹. Listening to my parents it feels like there was much less questioning of the systemic BS, but also they're nostalgic for something that I doubt existed, or they remember correctly.

I don't think this is correct. Bach was seeking a position of court composer (like Handel) and even sent his 6 Brandenburg Concertos to Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1721. He didn't get the position. Brandenburg Concertos are some of his best works and I can't imagine how much top-quality secular music he could have written if he got the position.

If that's the case, how long after the purchase of a new iPhone does your imessage subscription expire?

Of course it does not. The per user cost of delivering imessage is so low, Apple doesn't care about the individual user. In bulk, enough people are buying new iPhones to cover the ongoing cost (and then some).
I suspect they already know, check your original post ;-)

This is really neat, it's something I hadn't thought about before. I've started listening to audiobooks on my commute, but I read at night. I currently use audiobookshelf[0] to listen to my ebooks, and it has support for ebooks as well. I've added a comment[1] on a discussion if audiobookshelf could read the epubs your took creates.

In this context, "what's the literally here?" means that the author think the post would be better without it: it's too agressive, sarcastic, demeaning, etc. for example. Hence it's a false question.

It's actually funny because you answered a false question (potentially on purpose). Like:

"What the hell are you doing?!?"
"Well Im stealing your car, obviously."
I upvoted you because you are halfright. Japan always had the potential to be a gold exporter, but it seems the people and government (SPQJ?) have not been too much into it.

Would you really want to create a company where the only reason employees stick around is that they literally aren’t lawfully allowed to work anywhere else? An alien, yet common mindset.
To be fair, you can just buy an RV or camper trailer and plop it onto a piece of land. If you're ambitious you can get a trailer home plopped down. That we don't take more advantage of economies of scale for building is a travesty.
You could envision a simple db format where indexes and the main row file are stored in separate files

They already envisioned it in DBF and CDX.
As the amount of data tends to 0 (idk why the quote is using 1), if course your belief tends to whatever your belief was before you saw any data. What else could it possibly tend to? Of course it's very sad that we don't have any data, but that's no fault of Bayesian.
I guess you haven't read any news for a while.

Advertisers are fleeing Twitter and nobody knows how much longer Twitter will exist, because, well, they don't want their ads to be displayed next to Nazi content, in any circumstances.

If you find Twitter better, good for you for swimming in that kind of content.
Right? I was just about to say that Windows ships with power shell these days, but then immediately realized how poorly that maps.

It used to ship with qbasic and a nice editor held over from dos. That was pretty good, though it was essentially hidden. It was there, but there was no icon for it and no docs or directions said to use it, let alone boot right to it as your primary interface.

Basically the driving force behind the production of Windows is the parts of MS that make money from it, not the developers who would write stuff for other developers if they could.

They want users that consume, not produce, and they absolutely do not want users who tinker and poke and modify.

They offer development systems only because they still have to, and they make even those into managed inscrutable products you merely use like powerpoint as much as possible.
Built free replacement for Firebase Dynamic Links
There are 100% people who will treat a sufficiently human-acting AI this way. The movie _Her_ was a documentary, not science fiction.
My friend and I built a replacement for Firebase Dynamic Link which Google is about to in 2025. We needed something like that in our projects so we decided to share it with the world. I know it might be little bit early to ditch Dynamic Links, but who knows. We thought there is no point of using it for new projects.

On tech side it's RoR + bootstrap, nothing too fancy.
Airline training takes place in a multi-million dollar simulator, which is a 1:1 replica of the flight deck in a room on hydraulic struts. The struts provide feedback and the sensation of acceleration... to a certain extent. They are the state of the art for training, you can get your whole type rating for the airliner in a simulator without ever having touched the real jet.

Even in this case, I would say the simulator has specific strengths, and that is to teach instrument flying procedures. Landing the simulator is pretty different than landing the real thing, there is some negative transfer (the bad habits I was referring to).

Retail flight simulator flight models are just toys. They don't do a good job of simulating the behavior of the airplane close to the ground (e.g. during landing), nor are even the expensive ones necessarily accurate at the edge of the flight envelope (near/at stall).

I don't think haptic seat and VR change much, you are still better off getting into a real plane and just flying. You can probably do quite a bit of flying for the cost of all this gear.
I have been threatened and people I know have been assaulted by unhomed people. I have never been threatened and nobody I know has been assaulted by homed people. So no, they aren't "ridiculously" scared of homeless, it's a reasonable response to the on-the-ground truth.

IDK — I just find it hard to believe that Instagram is intentionally censoring pro-Palestine posts that do not otherwise violate their policies, and the accusation is coming from an actor that is fairly biased and isn't releasing their underlying data. No doubt sometimes things get flagged incorrectly, e.g. the heart emojis — I didn't dispute those ones. But having personally seen the abuse of random Jewish accounts by people spamming Palestinian flags at strangers, I am suspicious of the cases where there isn't any context being given, especially since the source is unreliable and isn't sharing details. Same goes for photos that aren't shared.
Me too, buddy. Unfortunately I've had enough of my posts removed not to bother anymore. There is no free debate on HN, only a guided one with one side being amplified with the other hidden away. The mindless audience then adapts their views when presented with this fake consensus through censorship.
99% of people don't seem to care.

Granted that's a problem but really it shows everything is a matter of perspective.

It’s like Cowen can’t help himself at this point. The world would be better served if he spent more time reviewing ethnic restaurants than publishing thoughtfarts like this. I guess it’s a better use of Koch Brothers money than their usual pursuits, at least.
it's more like "hey you are a brick layer. build me a house. what, i need an architect? but i already designed the house. here is my drawing"
syntax_tree was actually created before Prism. Ruby LSP also adopted syntax_tree first, and then switched to Prism (then called YARP) when it was mature enough.

But indeed, the type completor would've been much harder to build and maintain if without Prism.
Also, why on earth would this metric be important? Failure is a fact of life; one needs to experience it many, many times on the road to grandmastery. I’m pretty sure Bach had. It makes more sense to cherish than deplore it.
These neighborhoods feel "dreamy" but living there is a different reality. You have to trek down a hill to buy things and when you do, you get the full SF doom loop experience. Most people pay a small fortune to DoorDash and Uber to avoid leaving their dreamy neighborhoods.

An estimated 67 million people died in 2022 globally, and 134 million were born. Not to downplay the deaths in these wars, but from a global perspective they don’t move the needle that much.
You could probably use a self-signed cert, then configure socat either to trust that certificate (with the cafile option) or to disable verification (with the verify option)
There is no need for a valid SSL cert, self signed will do. The ProxyCommand just needs to not validate the cert.
Yes I think you are correct. Thanks for clarifying.
In some cases they can make things worse, it's worth remembering that query optimizer looks not only on indexes, but also on statistics and estimated operation costs. If your statistics are out of date and your criteria are not specific enough (e.g. they match 80% rows), then an index is going to slow the query down. It needs to traverse the index to get the row IDs, fetch all the blocks containing them, read those, filter out irrelevant rows. It's probably going to be faster with a pure full table scan (due to linear reads).
It does matter, very much.

Firstly, because you are so lazy and inconsistent with your terminology, it's not possible to determine what your real meaning is.

Secondly, because you are muddling up separate and different terms "function", "subroutine" and not using the correct term "procedure", you are missing the core point that even simple BASICs had subroutines.

The Dhamma Citadel: Navigating the Four Noble Truths
I'm not sure why the ping time is ~60 seconds.

Reading the Arduino firmware suggests a data rate of 40 bits/s on the actual spaghetti strand.

Allowing for a start and stop bit, that's 4 bytes/second. Given a typical ping packet length of 56 bytes, and a negligble SLIP encapsulation overhead, I'd expect the outbound ping request would take 14 seconds to transmit, and the ping reply would take another 14 seconds after that, making 28 seconds in total (plus the processing latency, which should be negligible). The only way I can see it taking twice that time would be if the ping packets had truly unfortunate content of bytes that SLIP would need to escape into byte pairs, which seems unlikely.

I'm surprised the author didn't go for direct transmission of a 9600 baud signal; it wouldn't be too hard to use a DIY voice coil actuator to drive sound waves down the spaghetti at that frequency, and not too much DSP processing to amplify and clean up the measured movement at the optical sensor into a clean digital signal.

Don't forget that these subs aren't like YouTube subs. They are shown that annoying popup while visiting your blog page, and they complete their subscription just to see what you've published. And they have to keep on paying afterwards.
The universe is expanding at an exponential rate, which means our future light cone will contain fewer and fewer matter. For all practical purposes, the observable and accessible universe is thus continuously shrinking. While the universe may indeed be infinite, that fact is of no help here.
Semantic Basis for Overloading in C
This just speaks about your morals.
> Your code can no longer be compiled by a compiler that does not support these special C dialects.

What compiler might that be?

It's true that MSVC doesn't have an equivalent of -fno-strict-aliasing, but that's because it just doesn't apply optimizations that assume strict aliasing in the first place. Admittedly the picture around signed overflow is more complicated, but it's essentially the same story.

> Using these C dialects is a perfectly sensible thing to do, as long as you understand that this is what you are doing.

I suppose that they technically are C dialects, but it seem more than a bit absurd to put it like that -- at least to me. By that standard the Linux kernel isn't written in C. And Firefox isn't written in C++. Postgres also wouldn't count as according-to-hoyle C under your definition. Even though Postgres compiles when -fwrapv and -fno-strict-aliasing are removed, and still passes all tests.

The implication of what you're saying seems to be that all of these open source projects each independently decided to "go there own way". I find it far more natural to explain the situation as one of GCC diverging when it decided to make -fstrict-aliasing the default around 15 years ago.
Sounds good in theory, but in practice I think you’d ultimately just incentive the kind of behaviors you already see on TikTok: users would just add asterisks to filtered words, instead of changing anything of substance.

Not placing new years on the solstice directly gives you the opportunity to get the solstice kick off an interval of festivals/celebration culminating in a new years celebration.

Ancient people (just like us) certainly enjoyed having multi days of festivals/holidays strung together.

The choice of putting the astronomical point at the start or end of the period seems pretty arbitrary (for example, Chinese New Years starts on the new moon, and the lantern festival wraps it all up later on the full moon), but I suspect the "death/rebirth" symbolism of winter solstice strongly biases it towards being more suitable as the start of a celebratory interval, rather than end.

A quick, sloppy scan of new year traditions around the world on wikipedia seems to imply that many customs that start their year on/around the spring equinox have new year kick off the interval.
You have to wonder what ancient scientists thought about the fact that the lunar month and Earth day don’t evenly divide the solar year. They must have found it extremely vexing.
Math-wise Euler was more about establishing standard approaches than anything else. In addition to that, his contributions to graph theory and topology were substantial if not defining.

His contributions in physics were truly groundbreaking, a lot of traditional theoretical mechanics is coming from him mostly.

And not even all of his works in Latin were translated yet...
> someone going further than "scientists say"

What does "going further" mean here, what kind of answer would make you happy?
I went through every book store in Cambridge this past Fall and couldn't find it. I ended up having to order it from Cambridge University Press (located in the other Cambridge). When I looked through Harvard's course catalog for upcoming semesters it didn't look like AoE was part of the curriculum of Harvard's PHYS 123 anymore. It seems like such a shame. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.
Robert Zubrin seems like merchant selling wishful thinking.
After Dick Smith's fun way books as an early teenager AoE was my first "real" electronics book. It was certainly helpful for practical advice, but I did not find its presentation of circuit theory at all clear (the hand-wavy analogy about transistor man comes to mind). At the time I had a music degree and very little undergraduate mathematics and only high-school physics.

More recently I've been dabbling with electronics again. Someone recommended Malvino's "Electronic Principles" (I bought the 5th Edition second hand), which I found much clearer for circuit theory than AoE. Sedra and Smith will probably be my next purchase but I doubt it should be your first.

Also, "beginner" could mean a lot of different things. And perhaps more important than where you're at, where do you want to get to? There's a world of difference between (1) soldering together someone else's design, (2) being able to understand why someone else's design works, (3) being able to piece something together from common sub-circuits, (4) produce your own design from scratch. And all of these will vary depending on the circuit type: analog/digital/RF etc.
Seconded, I'm not particularly a fan of classical music but all of his lectures are really excellent

Please show me where in that citation is any reference to an LLC being "exempt from the normal responsibilities of debts and liabilities".

Common Lisp has quite a lot compared to most languages, and in most cases is just as performant. Of course C and Rust are always going to outperform in edge cases simply because of their proximity to hardware.

I don't remember the exact quote, but it goes something like "most [languages?] are a buggy implementation of half of Common Lisp"
The observable universe is finite for the simple reason that its age is finite and the speed of causality (light speed) is finite. However, the observable universe is an artificial partitioning based on our specific (and arbitrary) location in space-time. It doesn’t have an implication on the universe as a whole.

Of course, in the context of this thread, the fact that only a finite subset of the universe is accessible to us is very relevant.
> sometimes fast food workers can't get another foodservice job because of these.

there should not be any non-competes for job levels for which the skill is mostly commodities. Non-competes should be only for companies hiring a specific skill, and their working in said company would allow them to garner knowledge that can help a competitor - thus a non-compete. And it needs to be paid for.

If a company is found to be abusing it to ensure their employee cannot be mobile (for wage competitiveness), then the law should go down hard on them.
That rule seems problematic. You cite the rule, and then the last line of your comment explains that you've violated the rule.

As another example, I recently read a Factorio blog about how they do map generation, and there were a lot of technical details any aspiring game developer would be interested in, even if they don't play Factorio. The title of the blog post was "Maps 2.0" which would be meaningless as a HN title. Something like "How Factorio's procedural map generation works" would make more sense for HN, but would require breaking the rule. What should be done in this case?

I find the style a bit rambly and even though it's long it doesn't spend too much time on most topics. It really shines when you're a practicing engineer 5+ years out of school and want something to explain how to whip up the circuit that you know you've learned exists in the past.

It especially shines if you need the first principles of precision amplification.
