I'm not a historian of real property law, but my understanding is it's more often the other way around. The legal boundaries were/are defined by a mixture of reference to objects on the ground and conventional use. Any WGS84 coordinates you might have were non-normative. The concept of land ownership predates the concept of a single unified coordinate system by millennia.
The ubiquitousness of c-style makes it more familiar. But that doesn't make it better syntactically. And of course what's faster or more memory efficient is an implementation detail ultimately, but moving away from the imperative style opens up the opportunity for new and interesting -- and potentially more grokkable, ultimately -- patterns. Rust is actually a great example of this, with things like match and pattern matching.

Don't be such a language grinch.
I’ve personally witnessed schools of Stanford’s stature accepting students on multiple occasions, who were unable to handle AP Calculus AB in high school, or at least without significant assistance. When I mention this to associates from Asia, they are genuinely astonished. Anyone who got into a top university in East Asia will generally have breezed through such subject matter in high school. How can the United States hope to compete with Asia in a century? IMHO it’s going to be very difficult. Hard skills of this nature will rule the world.
First mention of Hornblower I've ever come across on this forum! Read the whole series as a kiddo/tween in chronological order (still remember how freaking disappointing Hornblower during the crisis was as someone who had no idea it was unfinished..). First few books took a while to get through and I figured I was too young but maybe they just weren't that enthralling!
As an art enthusiast, I don’t want this at all. Why? A system like this drastically changes incentives, this tends to negatively affect the consumer.

I expect any social media that adopts this paradigm to be immediately overwhelmed by the crypto/nft crowd and that will immediately push away most everyone else. Reddits attempt did exactly this.
>Upgrades to the low-code platform would break their custom implementation.

Likewise an upgrade would break our custom SAP implementation. Most all big ticket business apps are "low code" and suffer this problem.

>The underlying database structure was an absolute mess, especially after a bunch of incremental modifications.

Ditto with all enterprise software I have used.

All big businesses depend on low code enterprise apps. For that matter, a SQL database is a low-code platform.

And why do you suppose she did that? Is it perhaps because of the constant attempts to force people to treat "jews the people belonging to a certain race/religion" and "the state of israel" as exactly the same thing? The sheer amount of people who accept these, bad faith, to put it mildly, arguments, is, well, not surprising, but is pretty sad.
It’s nowhere near the stature or notoriety of Princeton, Harvard, Yale, etc. It feels like you’re moving the goalpost.

Anyway, maybe you should change the way you measure yourself.

> But I suppose there won't be optimizations for any combinations of GPU/CPU/RAM like Valve and AMD do for the Steamdeck?

I run a homegrown gaming htpc with an R5-5600, Radeon 6800XT, and then the Xbox wireless dongle and 4 Xbone controllers with Bazzite.

You'd be surprised at how much of heavy lifting is done by the kernel and mesa stacks, that's where the real work is done. Fedora does a good job pulling in kernel and mesa updates relatively quickly and the steam client handles the proton updates.

There's also great synergy between Bazzite, ChimeraOS, and Nobara, which are all gaming focused distros. Lots of code sharing and teamwork happening there, which is awesome to see. Everything is open for people to hack on.

It acts like a big steamdeck, all the performance overlays work, all the xbox controllers work ootb, fsr works, etc. - you do need to pair the controllers with each controller but that's a one time thing. I've personally completed God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Baldur's Gate 3 and other AAA campaigns in 4k. And then when I need to travel all my game progress is on my deck. It's a full multi device experience.

But to set expectations: VR and multiplayer games that don't opt into EAC or use kernel-level anti cheat are a no-op, as well as anything Epic makes. To me it's just like any console platform, you get lots of games, and some games you can't play. At this stage in the game both Windows and Linux suffer from the same UX shit show, horrible third party launchers are the worst problem with either set up.

Disclaimer: I'm involved in universal blue but don't directly contribute to bazzite.
The number of certificates issued/inserted on 25th December, which is almost the same as any other day in December, while being a bank holiday in most Western countries, makes me happy: the industry successfully made certificate renewal fully automatic.

For LetsEncrypt, all renewal requests are done with ACME clients, so this is not a surprise.

I'm curious to know which part of DigiCert and Certigo certificates are actually renewed with an ACME request (both support it).
Build to something tangible, such as a basic video game (minesweeper, tic tac toe, etc.). To get from zero to there will cover a lot of concepts. Begin the course by saying by the end of it, you will be able to build this yourself: [show the game]. Then have each lesson relate to the end result, little by little.
>Some people consider "from the river to the sea" to be a call to genocide of Jews. Because, of course, they ignore the simple fact that majority of Jews don't even live in Israel [1].

so it's only genocide when you're trying to wipe them out entirely? if you only wipe out a quarter, for instance, that's not genocide?
This was well-thought out and fun to read, ty for sharing, seriously. Just being brief because I'm exhausted, long day.

I worked at Google for the last 7 years and would say generally you'd be very surprised how little actual care is about this. (does not obviate a single word you said, just, eager to point out one of the few things I learned there / from BigCo, how shockingly little care there is in general. (this is not a good thing. I am still s h o c k e d how little people inside the companies pay attention or think about this stuff, it was bizarrely sort of awkward and seen almost as a sign of maladjustment if you were into metadiscussion about industry and products))

Something that does somewhat obviate a bit of what you said is the green/blue thing is a Google construct. There is an ad campaign about it, yes, and its honestly bizarre how much someone in particular fixated on it, like, haven't heard from them in years except this. But that terminology existed farrrr before the ad campaign, long long looooong before. You can't even see the start of the ad campaign on trends.
Agreed, many HN posts discussing articles/posts from the aforementioned sites have comments that give more insight than TFA and maybe even corrections. Which you would not get by reading the articles/posts alone.
> Exercising the willpower to not eat when you're hungry is only a Herculean effort if you've stopped exercising it regularly for a long time.

Addiction mechanics play a role here. It's not just willpower, it's willpower minus addiction. The second variable is absolutely massive, it snowballs over time, and it's why addiction treatments often have more interventions than just willpower.

As such, it's a thousand times more difficult for an obese person to "simply not eat" than it is for a normal person to "simply not eat." To the normal person, not addicted to food, it might seem simple, like the obese person simply lacks willpower, but in the obese person's shoes the normal person would likely end up the same way.

Hence, the obesity epidemic - it sneaks up on you.

For some reason I've really started to enjoy watching more or less silent travel journeys on Japanese ferries. So much I'm planning to do a few trips myself.

Social media has greatly magnified the familiar phenomenon.
I didn't read much of the site yet, but one way I might read your quote is as being against those who ripped the country apart after communism. I would guess that many young people see that as the last tragedy and not communism.

FWIW Yugoslavia was open to tourism during the Cold War. My father drove from the UK to Dubrovnik with a friend in the 60s. I retraced part of that trip about 5 years ago. I'd have seen more had this site and book been available, but I stumbled on a few of the places on their map.

Not on their map is Zeljava [1] which was an airbase with extensive underground tunnels under a mountain on the Bosnia/Croatia border. At the time, a few parts of it were cleared out with bits of spares amongst the debris. There is a UXO hazard away from worn pathways. This is highlighted by the mine signs. I think there have been a few accident since the war in the 90s, but inside there was a bigger risk from falling concrete (look up for blast door). Recent photos [2] show it has been cleaned up a lot.

I'm sorry but I don't care about some specific photo somewhere at some point. I don't even think this site leans young enough to ignore the fact that what is displayed on that photo was simply not the norm at all.
My prediction for 2025 is that many systems will break because their certificates were set to expire on 31DEC 2024.
>I mean, you think "the world's most profitable progress-themed ad distributor" comes about becuase "coding wizards" are just intrinsically intersted in this, rather than because it's what makes people lots of money?

Not at all. The "most profitable" part was an acknowledgement that money is at the center of such decision-making. But that paradigm exists alongside the one where FOSS and indie libraries and software are at the base of a number of important technologies. I'm just having trouble understanding why messaging isn't one of them.
I would love any recommendations for physical magazines. I know they are mostly ads and yada yada, but I like to sit down with an actual magazine for some reason.
While in a group as in, meeting 5 friends and ignoring them to read stuff instead, not as in "somewhere with more people".
I dunno. I was in academia for a while and wrote some papers, and in my field at least, the literature review was worthless and really only there to give other people in your field citations. Which is to say that it was not an area of great originality and if you’re citing somebody else’s literature review, you’re really just citing the grammatical structure of the sentence because there’s nothing original in what you’re saying. So I’m not especially bothered by copying a few sentences from there. It just seems a bit sloppy and a bit lazy to me. Which isn’t to say that I’m much of a fan of Gay. And it does seem like the much bigger deal is the thin publication record. Although, at the same time, isn’t administration the natural place for people who don’t like research to go?
Yes, free messes everything up. If Google was $1 or $2/mo and Kagi was/is significantly better, that drastically changes the equation.
I didn't say that. This is just you trying to bend my words. I did say that from river to the sea does not mean that Jews living in Palestine will be wiped out. If you think that this the meaning that's fine. I just hope that you consider it the same when the other side use almost exactly the same slogan (interesting you ignored that)
Again, this has nothing to do with contacts and everything to do with the interface of the messaging app, as I and the person you responded to said. Also, the person you're replying to literally described a way to handle it while accommodating everyone (offer an indication in the UI of what's happening, and present the option to combine the conversation).
Honestly crossfit has been great (as long as you can swing the monthly). I do the group classes and it's great because (1) instructors take care of the programming, (2) they offer modifications if you really need them, (3) people are generally pretty chill (def less roid rage than at the gym), (4) I feel like I learned a ton of skills I can take with me traveling and I'm stuck with bad hotel gyms that have a couple dumbbells and kettlebells.

That's generally how I do it as well. One of the positives about remote work is I can go on my general programming slack channel at my work and write out my problem and get better visibility than going around my local area in my office.

Also I end up getting to meet programmers from different projects/departments that I would have never met if I was only working in office.

>> Keep a log of your work. In fact, keep a log of everything you do.

> Set a timer to go off every 15 minutes

I realise this won't be a popular point of view with the folk who are always 'life-hacking' or what not, but my goodness that sounds mortifying to me.

I have worked in professional services too, and I had to bill for my time in 6 minute intervals, but I found it much easier to just switch between set of running timers when I changed tasks. No need to put together any timesheets at the end of the day, just note/submit the final times. I think a repeating 15 minute timer would literally cause me to go insane.

I'm all for people staying on top of their schedules, but I doubt that for most people the benefits of something like recurrent 15 minute timers could ever outweigh the costs (concentration, flow, mental health).

> but unless you're looking at an ECC appliance, I'd say you're better off building your own white box.

Synology actually allows ECC DRAM and even sells it and list which models would accept them.

But yeah, at the price of a full featured model with an x86 CPU and SO/DIMM RAM and 4+ drives you are in the territory of building your own, with a lot more of control and without DSM (in Synology case) shenanigans.

EDIT: actually the biggest problem here is actually finding a good case, because even ATX cases now usually don't have more than 2-3 3.5" bays by default and often don't have 5.25" at all.

I wish JEDEC and the memory manufacturers had not decided to present on-die ECC as being a "feature" of DDR5 memory, when it has far more to do with the generation of the fab process than the generation of the memory interface.
That's certainly the reason I wrote my own static site generator for my website.

I knew I was reinventing the wheel but I also knew the learning results would be immense. I usually work in real-time systems and it was great to have a project to learn how to do offline data-in data-out types of problems. The two types of problems can be very different.

Also it gave me a good excuse to finally actually do something with a functional language.

I'd never recommend my static site generator to the general public though.

I was frankly surprised how quickly & well it went it went for the Czech Republic & other countries. But indeed its not as easy for every country, for various reasons (that might or might not include corruption :P).
There's a big difference in performance too. Which is why the BOOM has several versions, continually adding more advanced parts to chase performance. I look at the BOOMv3 layout and all I see is an old "Netburst Pentium." Which is probably why it sees AWS Graviton as it's main competition.

So, the "lack of complexity" comes from a "lack of sophistication." There are no free lunches is the point and you're going to end up with a chip that's just as complex as any other OOO out there, and very little of that complexity is going to be due to the ISA, once you match performance.

An interesting case study in measuring one's own land.

I have a former working background in surveying calcs and mapping, and have also been long considering embarking upon a similar DIY project for my own property.

One aspect I note, having spent quite some time at it myself, is that there is somewhat of an art to the generation of accurate topographical contour lines from a set of manually surveyed points. Both in what points to survey, and in how to treat the points. The reference term here is TIN or Triangulated Irregular Network. Automated software does a fair job of building TINs, but the resulting contour lines can in some areas represent detail or features that don't really exist.

For example in the author's contour maps under the "Finally, The Mapping" section, much of the leftmost half is particularly sparse in measured points and as a result, the contour lines have interpolated some wacky humps-and-hollows across that half of the land, at least some of which probably don't exist in reality. (Technically speaking, long skinny triangles = not ideal, particularly at large scale; and separately, another key word or concept to look into is that of topographical "breaklines")

Ultimately, the specific arrangement of triangles in the TIN defines how the contour lines will be drawn. Good starting data is half the equation, and the other half is how you TIN it.
