When I've travelled by air, "comfort" has never been the first thing to come to mind as I've shuffled through security, sans belt and shoes, hours before my flight's scheduled departure time.

I agree that there's a lot that's impractical about hovercraft - especially when for crossing the channel there's so much competition: ferries, the tunnel, and (as you mention) flying. For people who want to take their car across, as I understand it the hovercraft took about as long as the eurotunnel does now to cross the channel - but the tunnel has much more capacity.
No, you can't. The exponent in a float16 is too small. You'd rather convert back to a 32-bit float, do your operations, and then throw away the surplus precision and convert back to bfloat16.
"Don’t tell me they’re made with the Autobahn in mind."

A quote from the inquiry. Other than that the speed limit is not universal, and it's not 'the speed limit' as the limit is context based. There are many a situation where speeding up would help prevent an accident.
I feel a little conflicted about this.

On the one hand, a lot of security software is poorly written, eats resources like it's Chrome, and introduces all kinds of microstutters through (exclusive) locks all over the place.

On the other hand, many operating systems don't provide a (reliable) API to design decent security software against. Log collection is all over the place, even on Windows, which traditionally had Event Log as a well concentrated logging destination. There's no way to write good security software for an operating system that's written without security software in mind.

If I were handling important secrets, I wouldn't want a fleet of machines out there with just the basic antivirus that came preinstalled with the OS (if it came with one at all). On the other hand, so many pieces of "enterprise" security management are absolutely terrible, and require one (or more) full-time employee(s) to constantly configure them, communicate with users, and solve problems, just to keep software in check.

I think both operating systems and security management software need to listen to each other, and change. Operating systems need to be written with security stuff in mind, and security software needs to focus on a good user experience rather collecting than shiny buzzwords to sell to management.
You're articles are only talking about the Vienese public housing market, not the Austiran for-sale real estate market. Very different things.

In all seriousness, I find that the best and most interesting online periodic table is the RSC's:

The question was:

> Why are cars designed to be capable of going much faster than the speed limit? (Don’t tell me they’re made with the Autobahn in mind.)

Since you didnt read the question, it was questioning whether the autobahn is a valid reason for the majority of cars and if there was a better reason.

This is interesting. Putting aside AWS, Amazon has for a long time been a logistics company at it's core - the website is terrible from a customer perspective, pricing isn't great and the seller/supplier experience is certainly weighted in Amazon's favour. What they have is the critical mass of customers who are invested in prime and it's the default choice. I hate them but if I need something quick I generally hold my nose and ask my wife to order on her account. Other sellers can achieve delivery just as quick, it's just inconsistent between sites.

As someone who builds ecommerce sites and has seen Amazon become dominant I've thought about how to solve this problem many times - it requires deep pockets and most importantly good logistics. I've often thought if a logistics company expanded their shopping cart plugins to also (optionally) feed back data to a central ordering system and included their own payment solution to allow direct from customer ordering with centralised ordering, payment and logistics - perhaps at a loss until a prime type offering could be built there would be a potential for a strong business. Amazon take a huge amount of fees a chunk of which go to putting the wrong product in front of the customer!
Smartphones immediately come to mind.
Realistically both things will need to happen. There is a lot of demand that can’t be time shifted by more than a few hours. We need storage for a few weeks of consumption eventually.

>What matters is what those managers are allowed to do on their countries, and the existing laws to punish them if they try.

Meh, I live in 'socialist' Austria now, that in theory has some strong workers regulations, but some corporations, HR and mangers have become experts at skirting areound those regulations leading to plenty of terrible contracts with anti-employee clauses, long hours, burn-outs and firings without any retribution from the authorities becasue you never have enough exact proof that any specific law was broken by anyone, and employment law is basically at will anyway if you don't have a strong union/workers' council. It's not roses and sunshine everywhere.

I assume Portugal aslo has good worker's rights and labor regualtions on paper, that rutinely get ignored because the jobs market is not in the workers' favor so they have to put up with a market that's not in their favor even though the law is in theory on their side.
I mean that was my second point there, but I did enjoy blinkenlichten.
We should look at why they don't close. How often is it because the seller misrepresented their product/company? And don't forget information asymmetry - theoretically seller knows 100% and buyer knows very little. TBH I find it amusing where people take that kind of risk at all - let alone paying for the trouble. It reminds me JPMorgan's acquisition of Frank - no wonder JP did all kinds of due diligence on this stuff, it is extremely hard to differentiate forgery from reality without being an insider.
oh wow! I've cought that system wide find on a few occasions and thought it was related to the specific of my employer.

Dynamic programming is what allowed me to compute the number of legal Go positions [1,2], a 171 digit number.

While the naive method would take time 3^n^2 to examine all possible positions on an nxn board, dynamic programming effectively strips away one dimension, reducing time to O(n^5 * 5.4^n), while using space O(n * 5.4^n).

Borlaug and Longping turning in their graves. Lol.

But I wonder if you do absorb the oil if that might be a worthy tradeoff nutritionally. Or can you get the same benefit nutritionally without the whole process and just adding some type of fat or oil if you aren't trying to restrict calories?

Also, I wonder how more original less high tech heritage varieties would compare in terms of calories per weight to this technique.
What tools were already available for this?
We will probably also switch to different chemistries for grid batteries. Sodium batteries for example are cheaper. Iron oxide is also interesting.

The UK actually had a derogation on this even when it was in Europe; I think it was the _only_ European country to allow opt-outs for normal employees (most countries had an opt-out, but it was usually only for doctors and maybe some other emergency workers).

Use Matrix? It's a lot closer to Slack UX and you can self host it.
Same - I've used multiple ARM Macs and they just freeze up for seconds sometimes. At this point I'm pretty sure its related to their swapping behavior.
Here's a secret: a lot of the featurefulness of AMD's current Linux drivers is not due to AMD putting in the work, but due to Valve paying people to work on GPU drivers and related stuff. Neither AMD nor Nvidia can be bothered to implement every random thing a customer who moves maybe a million low cost units per year wants. But with open source drivers, Valve can do it themselves.
Two years ago when I was considering installing a battery along with my solar panels, here was the estimations I did:

1. Additional cost of installing a 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall was quoted as being around £12,000

2. Warranty was 80% capacity after 10 years

Now, my experience with batteries in general is that once they start to go, they deteriorate pretty rapidly; so 80% after 10 years to me basically account 10 years as the lifetime of the battery.

£12k for 10 years is £1.2k per year, or £100 per month: that is, the battery would have to allow me to save £100/month in electricity just to break even -- and that's before factoring in the cost of capital (i.e., if I take that £12k and invested it somewhere else, I'd have a lot more than £12k after 10 years).

Even if the batteries managed to eke out a reasonable capacity for 20 years -- which seems pretty unlikely to me -- I'd still have to somehow save £50/month to break even. All in all the battery just didn't make financial sense for me as an individual.

One expects that the companies doing this on an industrial scale have done the math and managed to find some economies of scale that make it profitable; but it's not out of the realm of possibility that due to a combination of optimism, overselling on the part of battery companies, and FOMO, that they've drastically overestimated the performance of their batteries, and are going to find 15 years down the road that they're beginning to fail without having paid back the capital investment used to buy them.
Goyek: Build Automation in Go
You should repeat to avoid coupling code that are contextually different. You want to avoid too many abstraction. There's no black and white rule. You'll get a feel for when to repeat and when to not.
As someone dabbling in Go, still a n00b really, but experienced in many other languages, I find this too, why's there stuff that's just standard in e:g Python, yet missing in Go? Apparently a thought-out, deliberate decision by the language designers. But then, since many people feel this way about Go, I'm mystified that 3rd-party libraries haven't evolved to cover "missing features" of Go. One would think, someone will scratch an itch, release it, then everyone uses that. Seems to have happened in other languages. Weirdly, there are indeed 3rd-party libs for Go that do more sophisticated things, web frameworks etc. Its almost as though 3rd-party devs don't dare touch the lower level stuff cos that's "against the spirit" of Go, but do make reusable libs for higher level things. Well, this comment may reflect my naiveté / ignorance of the language. Maybe someone else will clarify this? ;)

My first thought has always been that they are able to go faster because the world is not perfectly flat (or, perfectly round to be precise) so we have hills that cars need to be able to climb, and that extra power ends up making us able to travel faster than necessary when on flat ground.

Since I'm no car expert (or expert in anything really), I'm eager to hear how wrong my intuition is.
Same, last time I changed PC I got 32GB of RAM just to avoid these issues, but they still happen nonetheless. I don't even know what to debug to find out the cause.
> People act on their political views by voting -- the decided on political views through what they hear and read. We agree that as long as people keep their views to themselves we don't care what views they hold. And we obviously agree that harassment is bad, lynching is bad, sexual harassment is bad. These continued straw men don't really add anything here.

Running for an office with political views is part of acting on their political views. If you keep your political views to yourself at workplace, but you run for an office with them... Should your coworkers care or not? Or are you allowed to have any political views as long as you don't participate in the democratical process? :)

> What do the LGBT protesters want? And there were counter-protesters? What do the counter-protesters want?

I'm not sure if exact topics change wether sexual assault is fine or not. But it was pro and against same sex civic partnership if it makes any difference for you.

> Complaining that people who really don't like terrible ideas should keep that to themselves isn't very convincing to me.

Political ideas should be discussed at political level. Debates, elections and so on. Not all-out war where stepping out of line may ruin one's life. Especially with today's highly polarized political climate where „terrible ideas“ label is attached very easily.

> If you take all the harassment away, which with both agree is bad, then it's just two groups of people expressing their opinions. If university administrators are convinced to change their minds because of protests then that just means the protest worked.

IMO it's closer to mob rule forcing employers or university administration act in one way or another.

In any case, if the opinions are not illegal (= promoting violence etc), refusing employment or forbidding on-campus speech for such opinions feels a wee authoritarian. There's a very very fine line between employers/universities rights and society forcing dominant narrative and sanitising public discourse.

Would you like to be fired if some idea you hold would be seen as „terrible“ by your employer (or a mob forces them to act so)? Given how what is acceptable changed in the past decade or two, who knows how it will change in next few decades.
Can you expand? I'd like to see an example of the kind of disconnect you're thinking of. Or even better, a library-sciencey model of version control.

It's interesting how many mental models of git there are. For me it's a digraph (specifically a DAG, unless you've done something horribly creative). For other people it's a patch-management tool. Or a versioned database. It seems like almost nobody thinks it's a source code repo.
I've never seen enough evidence it was anything other than a lucky guess

Outside Germany, there are places with 140km/h in Europe. Outside Europe there are cases with 160km/h.

Even with 140km/h in mind, you'd not want to be the absolute upper limit as that would make it inefficient in different ways. If it's about having an artificial limit (say electronics) it could also be needed to temporary speed up over the max. Such a limit would stimulate over inflating the tyres to 'cheat' it.
Reminds me of Japanese cars having rather high maximums listed on their speed dial, despite most never getting close

My ‘89 Mazda 626 had 240km/h, but similar era cars had 320km/h

Despite these usually being a ~2L inline-fours

The really remarkable thing about the 6502 is how the designers managed to get such strong performance out of such an economical design. It used less than half the transistors of the Z80. As a result it really was the design that helped to kick start the home computer market.

The original Arm team were big fans and the ARM1 followed in that tradition of making the most of the resources available. I guess we could say there would be no ARM without the 6502.

(Disclosure - I wrote the original post)
My home server is an Intel NUC 11, the cheapest, least powerful version. It has a dual core Celeron, cost around $200 with 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD. I put Debian on it, tweaked the fan curve so that the fan only spins under load, put the whole thing in an IKEA cabinet and forgotten about it. It just sits on the network, responds to SSH, runs whatever Docker container I throw at it. Zero issues. It didn’t come from a shady Chinese marketplace, didn’t need an esoteric charger, didn’t need a special distro or weird drivers, came in a nice cardboard box, with warranty, from the largest electronics retailer in the country. If you can’t tell, I’m still really happy about my purchase.
I gotta admit, that song is pretty catchy. I can see why he likes it so much!
Those are pretty normal needs for us and our users.

What is that limit set to supposedly?

Last summer I topped out at 210 km/h in my Audi A3 which was bought in Spain, and it seemed to be limited by the engine rather than a hardcoded limit (slowly approached 210 km/h instead of reaching it and then getting stuck there)
>Like.. my $500 linux laptop feels smoother and faster (GUI wise)

Which Linux do you use? We've had fast enough machines for fast and smooth GUI rendering for decades now. It's just that most software isn't optimized any farther than a few years back.

Linux tends to be quite good on resource consumption. I can still run smooth and fast Linux on my 15 year old laptop. I can't do the same with Windows.
Those includes all those packages which aren't packaged on other distros due to them being expected to be available via their native tooling. Examples are the entirety of pythonPackages, haskellPackages, emacsPackags. vscodePackages etc. Which I mentioned before in this very thread.

It makes little sense if you compare it like this. It would be stupid for any other package repo to include those package since they already exist. The only reason nixpkgs needs to do it is for purity reasons.

The metric that matters is "how many packages can I easily install on this distro". And nixpkgs most certainly is not in the lead here.
250 km/h for most models that are limited.

But not all are.

On the one hand, this seems like no big deal - online advertising is basically universally acknowledged to be bullshit. When you agree a deal for 10 cent CPM you don't literally think there are going to be exactly 1,000 eye balls on your advert you know there's a whole load of trash in the data you're just negotiating 10 cent per some comparable block of attention. Having said that, if that bullshit factor suddenly changes from X to Y the industry has to recalibrate and particularly they need to not have signed massive contracts which had X baked into them. I bet that has absolutely happened and it's going to absolutely screw some unlucky companies.

All of that in the context of an industry that is already under downward pressure due to the recovery from COVID and the impact of Spotify doing a SoftBank to podcasts, this comes at a really bad time.
Everything is a social construct these days.

I've been working with assembly for a custom extremely simple virtual architecture I built (like the redstone computers in Minecraft, but for a different game) and I feel like the perfect language for it would be somewhere between assembly and C.

Sometimes, I would like the ability to declare variables with automatic register assignment and stack allocation if necessary, but at other times I would like to explicitly choose their assigned register or act on registers directly.

HLA seems pretty close to what I want.

His long-form podcasts and interviews get hijacked into little snippets and "motivational" youtube videos. There is a huge industry of "recycling" channels that only do that, even more so now with shorts. So his 2h+ talk about morning routine studies or whatever gets turned into a video called "Neuro Expert's 21-step Morning Routine to live into your 90's". It becomes 4minutes, has peppy music in the background, can be distilled into a 30s short with effort. His channel gets points or money or whatever for you watching it, the recycling channel gets money for making it, and you as the viewer get stuck with the shit-end of the stick.

That's not even mentioning the "rebuttal" industry that'll create content criticising or rebutting his content, which gets recycled the same way. It's elephants all the way down, and our attention is sucked up by it.

I couldn't block and ignore these channels quickly enough, and no matter what I did YT kept recommending them. So glad I'm off YT.

IRC simply a different use case than a forum. I think both are useful and I don’t see a reason why a company couldn’t have IRC and a forum, there’s no contradiction and the overlap is small.

Forum are very useful for example for use cases where the topic is extremely specific and you throw out a post “who else does this and have this issue?” and hope someone will find your post through internet search and the more people find the thread the higher the likeliness to find a solution.

IRC is nice for quick back-and-forth type conversation for topics which are more “common”, where the requirements to participate in teh conversation are lower. For example, a discussion on a potential feature request.
