This is like asking why should one try getting a better job while some people live in hunger.

Civilization has to work in many directions in order to progress. While some people are trying to find a way to deal with local issues (climate change, production, goverenance etc.) other people search a new potential home or a colony.

I've driven in 3 major cities over the last decade (LA, SF, Seattle) and in all of them the local police departments have been ignoring a lot of traffic infractions that they would have pulled people over for before.

Using directional antennas is legal if you compensate by turning down the transmission power so that in the direction you are still transmitting the signal is no more intense than it would have been with omnidirectional antennas. That doesn't entirely defeat the purpose of using directional antennas because it still means that the receive side is focused specifically at the direction of interest and not picking up as much noise from irrelevant directions.
Solo knit headband seems concerning. Keeping it firmly on your head is critical, and if it’s the same/similar solo knit stuff they’ve used on the Watch, that stuff starts to notably lose its elasticity in under a year, and that’s in a use case where it isn’t supporting half a kilo of weight.

But if you’ve read the article, over 500 other planes have all disappeared in the territory and they’ve all been found. So no matter how vast the forest, is they’ve all been found. There seems to be some anomaly with this one.
It seems so, I have been looking into AvaloniaUI for a product and read several articles about people having success porting fairly complex WPF apps that use third-party components like grids.
I agree. It seems Microsoft wants to get the accolades of solving a hard key exchange problem without actually solving that hard key exchange problem. We see this a LOT in companies that "make it easy" to do cryptography.
The elastic isn't used for support. There's a BOA style dial that tightens things down.
Don't we? I distinctly recall that when I was using a left-handed mouse on WinNT 4 in the nineties, the mouse pointer was reversed? Whether that was the original cursor or just someone at IT being a leftie and installing a custom cursor, though, I have no idea.

I later found it much better for me to simply use my right hand for mousing about, leaving my left hand free for taking notes.

“(In the) multi-person video conference, it turns out that everyone [he saw] was fake,”

This sounds like it required quite a bit of preparation, i.e. collecting data for each deep-faked participant including image/voice samples.

If it's reaching this level of sophistication already then I suspect a new participant validation scheme is on its way for sensitive meetings.
Another reason is likely clipping. When drawing the cursor you have to prevent pixels from being drawn off screen to the right or bottom of the screen. If the cursor were symmetric, you would have to watch out for the left edge of the screen as well.

It's a bit scary to see that one of the highest-voted answers to this question (188 points) is completely wrong. It says that the (0,0) hotspot simplified the calculations for a cursor position update, because you didn't have to add any (X,Y) offset.

https://ux.stackexchange.com/a/52349/43259

The problem with this idea is that the arrow pointer was never the only cursor. On the first Macintosh, there were many others including the text I-beam and a couple of kinds of crosshairs. And you could define any cursor of your own by providing a bitmap and transparency mask and the hotspot position.

You can see some of these cursors in the original Inside Macintosh Volume I and also in previous works from PARC.

https://web.archive.org/web/20230114223619/https://vintageap...

Page 50 of the PDF (page I-38 of the document) shows some sample cursors.

Page 158 of the PDF (page I-146 of the document) has the pixel detail and hotspot locations for several cursors.

Fun fact! The hotspot for the arrow cursor was not (0,0) but was (1,1).

Can anyone explain why? I think I used to know, but it has long since escaped my memory and I would appreciate a refresher.

This page also has the definition of the Cursor structure:

TYPE Bits16 = Array[0..15] OF INTEGER;

Cursor = RECORD
data: Bits16; {cursor image}
mask: Bits16; {cursor mask}
hotSpot: Point; {point aligned with mouse}
END;

Point is defined on page I-139 and is more or less what you would expect, a pair of vertical and horizontal coordinates.

To be clear, the scary part is not that someone came up with the idea that (0,0) saved a few instructions. In fact, the notion came up elsewhere in this HN discussion. It's a perfectly reasonable hypothesis, until you realize that there are many cursor shapes that require different hotspots.

The scary part is that 188 people upvoted this answer!

It isn’t standard to take part in clinical trials. Only about 5% of adults with cancer partake in a trial.
The cited bad behavior by physicians isn't only a "mechanistic mindset" - it's also something that clearly reinforces the status hierarchy of physicians-over-patients (and everyone else.) Which is why they are unlikely to change it, even if it would lead to better patient outcomes.
I’m interested. Can you tell me what do rust developers build or work on in this space? Where do you start networking and build the demonstrable skills to get into blockchain?
The paper covers multiple blood doping method from transfusion, epo drugs, and gene transfer.

The interesting one is blood transfusion. The paper suggests that measuring certain antibody levels (change from baseline) can detect allogenic blood transfusion (blood from other individuals).

But for autologous blood transfer (removing blood, allowing the body to replace the blood cells, then injecting blood back to boost levels above normal) is impossible to detect. CO rebreathing measurements could be used but aren’t validated.

However, sports regulations have a max Hb cutoff so raising levels beyond a “high-normal” would disqualify you anyways. The only option is to raise levels if your normal Hb level is middle to low in the normal range.
That’s no less than the state mandated liability coverage in most areas.

Zig is going to be the new Rust for some people
You are proposing to use general propose language vs domain-specific ones. I think, this discussion has been settled quite some time ago. For example, awk itself is domain-specific, built for processing text (or filed-separated) files. On the other had, m4 is as old as awk. m4 was heavily used even before autoconf (sendmail configuration is probably the best-known and possibly the ugliest application of it), for configuration, so one can argue, the need for macro expansion and rendering of configuration (as well as othe types) files was recognised even back then.

m4 just shows its age, and we’ve learned what is good (being Turing-complete) and what’s less useful (multiple output streams).

m4 could’ve evolved into m5, m6, etc., but nobody did it, instead people developed tools like jinja. One could argue, this is wrong and should’ve been evolutionary, but the point still is, domain-specific language to render configuration existed because there was use for them. Perl indeed could be such, I guess it did not happen for totally unrelated reasons. If Perl worked, Python would not gain popularity.

Pkl is not conceptually a new invention, it’s a new attempt to solve a real problem.
That's doable, I'll start tonight only.

If you can reliably find the key in memory, even if it's partially damaged, it may practically possible to recover it. You can try keys sorted by edit distance from the recovered material. Maybe there are better methods taking into account the actual cryptography.

I looked into it as I prefer to self-insure for any non-catastrophic risk.

It makes absolutely no sense for me to post a bond for such a small amount when I can get ~10x the coverage, plus all the claims handling, for $1200/yr for two cars and two drivers.

It would make sense if I was a business who had hundreds of cars or some other weird corner case perhaps, but regular people who could afford to post a bond have a better option in the insurance market.
> Imagine sitting here and tolerating people pejoratively calling people "communists".

Also tolerated - by calling them "Russians".

The logic goes, if there's nothing innately wrong with Communism then Russians (and, to extent, Chinese) must be up to blame.
At times before now there was no indication that we could be seeing an acceleration of tech as is happening now. So there was no hope for people to see what is possible for us now. They sure were trying to figure out life. They just didn't have the right knowledge at the time.

But now that we do, I do think we should figure out what is going on here. I don't knownif you can call it religion or whatever, but the point is completing this puzzle and tech is necessary to do that.

You don't care about what is behind all this?

But just like with antibiotics, bugs were trained on it and they got stronger finding the exploit until spam, scam and greed destroyed it once again. Sigh!

There’s an old story about John carmack running a new static analysis tool on the quake3 source code. The code worked well. The tool apparently found a huge list of issues in the code - including a massive pile of real bugs. Then he tried another static analysis tool and it found more real bugs. And so on.

The story is well worth a read. This is a great takeaway:

> This seems to imply that if you have a large enough codebase, any class of error that is syntactically legal probably exists there.

C++ is really hard to do “right”, at any scale in a real team.

An MBA is a prerequisite for many high level jobs. Management consulting partner, investment banking managing director are just a few. There are paths to those roles that don’t include an MBA, but they are rare.

The reason people pay is the math works out. Spending $120k to unlock career tracks that include roles that pay $500,000 or more is a pretty straightforward cost-benefit analysis.

My spouse did an MBA at a top school and 15 years out a very large chunk of the class are CEOs of large corporations, founders of private equity firms, etc.

The value is mostly in the signaling and network. Being able to get time with half a dozen CEOs simply because you went to the same school is invaluable.

Stupid question, but to this day I can't get the idea of overtaking. Any given stretch of the road has a speed limit. That limit is well below the maximum capability of almost any car on the road. From the POV of traffic regulations, you'd expect drivers on either lane to drive at that limit. What is, then, the point of overtaking? The cars are swapping places back and forth, but otherwise are (supposed to be) moving at the same speed. Is it a way for some to work around speed limits (by always overtaking forward, never being overtaken), or just a pointless dance to keep drivers from being bored and falling asleep behind the wheel?
That's pretty much it - if you check your history it's clear that neither Russia nor China adopted Communism in practice - they both went for authoritarian committe rule with power struggles as some kind of "neccessary" middle state while they work their way towards Twue Communism.

Again, I don't think you're making contact with jblow's point, nor the context of my reply. Nothing in what you've said he'd disagree with.

His claim isnt the obviously absurd idea that no good software is written today, or over the last 30 years. Such a position is trivial to refute.

His issue is the complexity of operating systems today, with too much emphasis on bad developer tooling (eg., GC+OO over just providing better memory handling tools), coupled with the internet as a means of app distribution, and in the influx of "below-jnr" level engineers has created a perfect storm of terrible software.

Something disguised by radical advances in hardware. When a modal popup in vscode steals my cursor focus when i'm in the middle of deleting a file (etc.) it's hard to disagree.

Everything is 10-100x more complex than it needs to be, and most developers are stacking plates higher and higher (eg., electron) on a terrible foundation.

This isnt a point that can be engaged with based on a superficial analysis or just a reductio ad absurd ("here are counter examples...").

How many developers write postgres, and how many write vscode? How much has been spent on the latter vs. the former? (and so on).

I giving Linus as an example of the earlier programming culture, jblow himself is alive today after all. The claim isnt that nothing of this culture survives -- it's that its power and influence has collapsed.

It started to collapse when hardware stopped disciplining programmers in the mid 90s.

> The math of insurance is based on having the biggest, most diverse risk pool to sop up any poor bets.

If I were running an insurance company, I’d want a pool of low-risk drivers, whatever my actuarial research showed that to be. Compete for them on price and, if forced to serve all comers, offer worse pricing for those my research shows to be higher risk.

USAA started on the premise that military officers were a good (low) risk population of drivers to insure.
