Most sugar substitutes are so many times sweeter than table sugar that they're pretty much always distributed to consumers in a form consisting mostly of bulking agent so that you don't need an analytical balance. Nobody has 1/100 tsp measures.

Async is definitely nicer when things are immutable. On modern CPUs, async green threads can easily be backed by different OS threads running in parallel on different CPU cores, making data races a real problem for many languages. Async does not guarantee that things will not be run in parallel, although you shouldn't rely on it for explicit parallelism.
I had a feeling the polling rate was probably to do with the frame rate of the SNES rather than some requirement of the controller. I'll try out a higher polling rate and see what happens.
It does. I'm pretty sure that guy who was honest about the finances of his Ark server hosting business has since regretted it multiple times, because suddenly everyone was offering Ark servers.
My old company ran public and private cloud with Openstack and Ceph. We had 20 Supermicro (24 disks per server) storage nodes and total capacity was 3PB. We learnt some experiences, especially a flapping disk made whole system performance degraded. Solution was removing bad sector disk as soon as possible.
Exactly. Most people on HN dont commenting on Steve Jobs not only has never worked directly with or under him. They dont even bother to actually research into his real personality. Instead they rely on hearsay or very selective reporting or comments.

And if people hate him as an CEO so much, then no other CEO in tech history would get the pass mark.
You're illustrating my point. Your formula is: if SpaceX does well then Elon Musk has nothing to do with it. If Twitter/X fails it's Elon Musk's fault. BUT if something unexpected happens with a SpaceX launch all of a sudden it's Elon Musk's fault again. This is the game.

Then people pretend his behavior is "unwell" or "unhinged". Then I ask them "how is he unhinged" and I get a long confusing rant about nonsense. Personally I prefer progress over a popularity. Nerds are just bullying nerds at this point.
The stuff makes me nauseous.
For some the real greatness is to be involved in a more than one discipline.
What was once autism is disintegrating into the neurodiversity movement, which I don't disagree with. I suppose it just becomes unwieldy when certain traits cluster frequently to say one has, by example, Sensory Processing Disorder, Dyspraxia, Inattentive ADHD, Social Anxiety Disorder, engages in stimming and regulating behaviours, avoids eye contact, occasional meltdowns, etc. etc. Autism was a shorthand for a kind of fuzzy classification of this clustering. I can see the merit to the opposing argument, but I speculate that there will be some neurological commonality that is found, and this fuzzy classification will have been fruitful.

There's growing evidence of neuroanatomical differences between ASD and control populations in (replicable) studies, and I think further neurological study can be the only path forward to settling this debate as to whether autism needs to fragment, change shape, or be abolished as a concept entirely.
Which parts of these 22 million acres are "our irreplaceable natural heritage" ?

What specifically do you think solar panels will even hurt and why?

"Under the current policy, there are at least 80 million acres of federal lands open to oil and gas development, which is 100 times the amount of public land available for solar."

I have high hopes that we can provide enough energy by using already disturbed land

Based on what?

This is enough land to power every house in the US with solar if it was all used. It's interesting that even though crops are grown under solar panels all the time, you are worried about empty unused land and not the land already being used for oil and gas or the fact that 60% of all electricity still comes from fossil fuels in the US.

Those numbers seem reasonable in that context. I first started using BitTorrent around that time as well, and it wasn't uncommon to see many users long-term seeding multiple hundreds of gigabytes of Linux ISOs alone.

Here’s another usage scenario with data usage numbers I found a while back.

Well, you're not totally wrong since the body does have several layers of defense to keep the bacteria in the intestine, and bad things happen when they break down: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0803124105

On the other hand the immune system selects for beneficial bacteria, which take up space and nutrients so that really harmful ones can't colonize: https://sci-hub.se/10.1038/nri3535; https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05141-x

Ask HN: How often do you run heartbeat checks?
Call them Synthetic user tests, call them 'pingers,' call them what you will, what I want to know is how often you run these checks. Every minute, every five minutes, every 12 hours?

Are you running different regions as well, to check your availability from multiple places?

My cheapness motivates me to only check every 15-20 minutes, and ideally rotate geography so, check 1 fires from EMEA, check 2 from LATAM, every geo is checked once an hour. But then I think about my boss calling me and saying 'we were down for all our German users for 45 minutes, why didn't we detect this?'

Changes in these settings have major effects on billing, with a 'few times a day' costing basically nothing, and an 'every five minutes, every region' check costing up to $10k a month.

I'd like to know what settings you're using, and if you don't mind sharing what industry you work in. In my own experience fintech has way different expectations from e-commerce.
Hell yeah. Good luck!

WiFi is not only reasonable but preferable. Because if a cat5 cable is going to be ran, it'll be done by an electrician. And when they get to the end of a spool, they will break out the wire nuts and splice away. I've seen it first hand.

Not even electricians can screw up WiFi :D
A few that come to mind immediately:

1) Phage are highly specific - there's really no such thing as a "broad spectrum phage", which means you need fairly intensive diagnostic laboratories + an extensive library of phage.

2) There's some regulatory hurdles - these are less than they once were, and the fecal transplant stuff for C. diff, and the treatments that have come from that, have done a lot of how do we think about regulating a living biological treatment.

3) Phage has mostly been used for wounds and other infections where it's relatively easy to get them "on site". For something like sepsis, which is systemic, or some other infections, it's not clear how to get them where they need to go in the concentration they're needed.

The solution that most immediately presents itself, which is just "A lot of phage delivered IV, and then hope they multiply when they reach the right sites" involves being able to grow up a lot of phage, which is a non-trivial problem for a lab. There's purification steps that need to happen, you have to have good enough cultures of the infecting organism to grow the phage, etc.

It's a very, very cool technology, but it's also something that's been "on the cusp" since I was an undergrad, and I'm a tenured faculty member now.
Halon's razor applies to the totality of the evidence, not just instance by instance. If you have a pattern of "incompetence" when dealing with First Nations issues that doesn't arise when not, that's really no longer adequately explained by incompetence.

> So just on the "lack of money" argument trope that gets rolled out in Japan whenever this topic comes up.

It's not complete nonsense, but for the wrong edge case.

Japan still discriminates against women quite strongly. This means that the woman is expected to quit working and handle the entire household for the husband. That means both sets of elderly parents.

ALL the major countries are grappling with the fact that elder care is making people--especially women--VERY unhappy. If a woman puts off children until her 30s, she's basically a caretaker for the rest of her life (children until 50s--parents after that). To top it off, medical caretaking is far more draining than child-rearing and has no defined end date.

A whole lotta women are simply going NOPE when faced with those prospects.
Alright, then give me a municipality that enforces "all new cars must be EVs." I'm particularly interested in the enforcement action taken if a resident purchases a new ICE vehicle in the next county or state over.

My friends based in Singapore, roughly same criteria and food living standard as you described, about 2K sgd a month or 1.5K usd after exchange rate. This doesnt factor in car, housing, schooling, recreation, utility, and medical. And food are to some extend subsidized or indirectly price controlled by government (through market intervention by state-based companies). You had it better at 1K usd. At least, you can move to somewhere rural midwest and have your own farm. To do the same in Singapore, he will have to be multi-millionaire owning multi millions USD small plot the equivalent of a poor family home land area in suburb in 2nd or 3rd tier city in America. I am sure someone similar in NY or San Fra will be even worst. Again, at least they can run to somewhere cheap.

Let’s say you desperately need a cup of tea. So you buy a cheap 4-way extension cable and 4 electric kettles. You fill all the kettles and turn them on at the same time for maximum tea-making throughput.

The combined load of all the kettles exceeds the rating of the extension cable.

With a fuse: the fuse in the extension cable plug blows, you buy another fuse, and learn some patience.

Without a fuse: the extension cable overheats and causes a fire, your house burns down, and worst of all you still don’t have any tea.

Can you elaborate on the specific meanings of “resource” and “reserve”? This has piqued my interest.
I mean, for starters this whole conversation is fantasy because streamers, or really, businesses in general, will never on their own initiative stop taking taking money from customers.

Auto-cancellation or whatever is never ever going to happen. Unless forced by regulation I suppose, which I don’t see a reason for. We’re not talking about fraud or deception, just the general day-to-day scumminess of capitalism.

All that said, I don’t think your argument carries the weight you think it does. “I’m happy my underutilization of a service subsidizes other users” isn’t a compelling story to me and doesn’t seem like a net benefit. To each their own.

(Anyway, a binger whose usage is equivalent to a non-binge watcher, except concentrated rather than diffuse, is not actually underutilizing the service and isn’t really who we’re talking about here. I think.)

> Leaving space in fronto of you and trying to keep a constant speed also reduces this effect

I would like to see some sources on that claim. Or some reasoning.

The thing is I live in one of the cities with the longest commute distances and I’ve spent a lot of time in stop and go traffic thinking about this exact thing. I used to think as you do. I would focus on a truck in the traffic far ahead of me and try to use it to maintain a constant speed at the average of the highway speed. in my experience it creates this laggy elastic effect that probably doesn’t help.

Recently I heard that you should try to maintain an equal distance between the car in front of you and the one behind you, and I think this actually works better (obviously this is my anecdotal experience)

Of course safety comes first always
> Commonly, there is lots of funding and resources available for the ASD label, little or none for any others. If the parents aren't open about what is really going on, few professionals want to go digging. So they'll diagnose the child with ASD.

I agree that there's probably a lot of mis-diagnosis, but that's hard to quantify as an outsider to the profession of psychology. I think this is separate to autism being a nurture over nature thing.

> Added to this, it isn't like "autistic traits due to bad parenting" and "autistic traits due to biological factors" are mutually exclusive categories. It is entirely possible the child already has a baseline genetic disposition to autistic traits, which are then being amplified by the poor family environment.

I agree that genetic, pre-natal, and very early childhood environments have a huge impact on behaviour. My opinion relies heavily on an assumption that there's genetic and pre-natal neurological/gene expression differences for autistic people, and that is probably the source of our disagreement (i.e., nurture vs nature).
Not who you’re replying to, but this is great context, and I want to thank you for including it. As another heavy async user (for a network service that handles loads of requests and does loads of DB reads and writes), I am also a big fan of Rust’s async at scale. We’re currently in the process of seeing where we can get rid of async_trait with 1.75, which has not been particularly drop-in in many cases but which is still exciting.

Anyway, I have been meaning to try out nextest for our big honking monorepo workspace at work. The cargo test runner has always been essentially fine for our needs, but speeding up test execution in CI could be a huge win for us.
Cost and price are at best correlated. Cost is at best a floor for pricing rarely the signal for it.

Bandwidth cost is very cheap for AWS and other major cloud vendor, even cheaper than likes of OVH, Hetzner buy at, because they also own good chunk of the deep sea cables in addition to DCs.

B/W specifically is charged high as a competitive moat. Every time I consider migration out of say S3, the migration costs always come out prohibitively high because of b/w pricing, so end up staying put.

That is exactly AWS wants, and so b/w is priced costliest in AWS ( even more so than Azure,GCP) because their market share is far ahead and thus have most risk of customer retention. Hetnzer and OVH have less PaaS service moat they have to worry about unlike AWS,Azure GCP , so they instead compete by setting rock bottom prices.

More market share AWS gains, less incentive they have to drop b/w pricing, only pressure to increase.
As stated in another comment in this thread, there seem to be fundamental limits at play.

SOME parts of Reddit serve as useful aggregators for news that would otherwise be scattered across a dozen Telegram chat groups and 50 Twitter accounts. It's just important to recognize when you are in a DEEEP (and therefore not particularly useful) echo chamber. Admittedly, that can be difficult on Reddit where most the sub-Reddits that give an air of neutral impartiality are some of the most heavily censored and astroturfed.

Nice, but since each pixel consists of a solid-filled greyscale rectangle (or emojis, I guess?) and doesn't take advantage of the shapes of characters, the resolution seems limited compared to the ASCII art of yore (or even the output of aalib).

A quick google shows iPhone apps detect skin cancers with up to 95% accuracy (as of 2020; may have improved a little since), I wonder what human level accuracy is (i.e. doctor carrying out a visual inspection), because surely it's not 100%? Looks like the accuracy of the FDA-cleared device is similar to the best apps (mid nineties).

It could be true that frequent inaccurate checks keeps more people alive than infrequent accurate checks. If so, an inaccurate device (or even iphone app) might be better than a doctor checking infrequently (e.g. every 2 years or so).
Unfortunately it’s still Windows 95.

Not trying to be a hater, but I did recently install a Windows 95 VM on my Mac to relive that old experience… and then the very first error alert sound, that incredibly tinny really loud annoying sound that would always make me jump out of my chair with crappy PC speakers came blasting out of my much much better speakers backed by a subwoofer and I realized there is no nostalgia value to be had here.

I liked what I had at the time when it was all that I had but I would never want to completely relive that experience. If I got sent back in time to the day Windows 95 launched and had to live the rest of my life from that point on, I honestly don’t know if I would want to touch another computer until like early 1999, maybe late 1998 at the earliest, and only for work.
Rooftops are terrible places to put solar because they're on roofs. They require support, it increases maintainance costs for both the roof and the solar, and you need to have a bunch of infrustructure coexist with everything else the building is doing. Putting your panels on some dirt somewhere just requires some open dirt, of which we have a lot.

I was head-hunted a while back from Wayfair, and I felt that it was too good to be true: 1. high pay for remote work, 2. small teams, and 3. working on interesting tech (I think it was an AI furniture preview, like Amazon has). I ultimately decided against Wayfair because I had the feeling that helping a company sell predominately low-quality Chinese furniture to unassuming Americans would further enlarge the void in my soul, and I would be working far too much. Perhaps for a year or two, it would have been a dream come true, if I didn't want to have a life outside of work...

Sunlight is already energy. Surely you mean something to do with energy conversion?

It's upsetting watching millions of acres of fertile land becoming essentially salted with heavy metals.

What is really effective at energy conversion is solar to thermal. We're talking 70% efficient, zero heavy metals. If we were to put panels on buildings, it's a crying shame that they are not zero heavy metal, vastly more efficient solar thermal.
Earth is huge. It's diameter is almost 13,000 kilometers. The deepest mine is 4 km. There's plenty of stuff.
