I don't even share my Hulu account, but this anti-competitive move was just the last tiny push I needed to cancel Hulu and Disney+ since we barely use it anyway.

Needed to go through 3 pages of "are you sure?", "here's a free month", etc. to cancel but overall took less than a minute. Feels great!

It's not technically correct, but saying "1 gigaFLOPS" sounds terrible so most people don't do it.

"We found that trees in warmer, drier climates are essentially coughing instead of breathing," said Max Lloyd assistant research professor of geosciences at Penn State and lead author on the study recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "They are sending CO2 right back into the atmosphere far more than trees in cooler, wetter conditions."

Not using the system's runtime also means that it's impossible for an applet to attatch to a local java process as a debugger.
Road tax is paid into the general funds, same as any other taxation, and stopped being related to the maintenance of roads several generations ago.

EV drivers do pay less tax in general (including significant amounts of fuel duty not needing to be paid) but then they do far less harm to the people and environment around them too.
>cato is relatively consistent.

The article you are currently commenting on is a demonstration of their inconsistent views and they were only a few days ago complaining about the exact opposite issue.

Libertarianism has no consistency. It cannot be consistent by definition because libertarian pillars cannot be reconciled.

Left libertarianism is a bit better, but even the individual pillars on their own are irreconcilable. Free market cannot be reconciled with itself. Individual freedom cannot be reconciled with itself.

GoStreams (or Lightning)

---------------------------

It's an almost real-time data streaming service for the polygon.io data provider.

It's a project that I started a couple of years ago during the pandemic. I've developed several data-sinks for this service (KDB, QuestDB, Postgres), but it's become more of a Theseus' Ship, development is never ending!

The aim is to build a backtester that will attach to this data service.

https://github.com/tranquilo12/goStreams

The README is outdated, but the gist of the project is that it's trying to be a service that can download all the historical data (for the requested tickers), and will stream the live data to a data-sink, without any issues, and with a good terminal ui.

I'm also thinking of integrating the Charm's libraries with this too, love a good TUI. (https://charm.sh/)

I'm interested in building this out as a project, it will not be made into a company etc. The repo will be fully public.

You can find my email in my profile.
It probably only uses one or two cores on consoles, the rest being reserved for the game running.
Well do you want to tell use about your use case at all or do you just want to be mysterious and indignant?
Making sense of code (or any system that changes over time) vis a vis its own history is one of those things where I really think AI/ML tools can really shine. Even with relatively low quality commit messages, I can look at something that happened 15 years ago in a codebase I am familiar with, and there will probably be enough information that I can assemble the full context, even if finding some of that information is challenging or time consuming. git log, git blame, look at the other code made in the commits, read the issue descriptions, read the code reviews. It just seems like a model could slurp that up and do a decent job of giving you a couple of paragraphs about why the line of code you are staring at is the way it is.

TBH putting such a detailed writeup in the git log doesn't really have any return -- for it to ever be useful to you again, you have to know the information is there; you then have to actively seek it out, with the hope that whatever you did to make it 'searchable' is going to work for you again. I can say with surety that if I were looking at a bug similar to the one linked from this article, I would not look to the git log for inpsiring a fix; I'd just fix it. Any extra time I would take would be to understand how a UTF8 nbsp ended up where it shouldn't have been in the first place -- something that the author of this commit seemed to have no interest in doing, but which likely has greater relevance than the documentation of the fix.

I want to be clear that I support commit messages that say what they do though; I'm not advocating for -m 'fixed' shenanigans, however at the same time I believe that -m 'fixes #1234' is often enough

Everything Alphabet has hit with their sugar-stick of AI has turned to a foetid garbage pile in just as much time. search on the google product is less than useless in most cases, its outright harmful to the pursuit of knowledge itself and the security posture of the system accessing the links provided.

Once alphabet tires of the AI hype train im sure whatever adjunct features and functions get added to maps will fester like a withering carbunkle until suddenly maps is replaced with maps(new_name) where the next product is just a reskinned rollback.

Doesn't the SAT work similarly? They penalize wrong answers to discourage guessing. Either be confident in your answer or leave the question blank.
When a developer admits that a single wrong character cost them one hour, it probably took 3 hours.

I applied to BlueSky at least once, maybe twice months ago and didn't even get an automated rejection email. Bit disheartened to say the least.
Code of conduct is compulsory these days, or github nags you about lacking it.

And I couldn't pick one of those that say "no skill discrimination", since that is just wrong. So since I had to write my own, might as well address the issues I've encountered.
Point of note: this is all well and good until these tools become inevitably ad-infested.

I'm starting to think we need to add "advertising" to the list (Death, Taxes, etc).
Having a reliable, fast internet connection is (almost) as critical for modern life as electrical service.

IMO, it falls into the same bucket as other utilities - water, power, etc an should be heavily regulated to ensure adequate and reasonably priced access.
First thing you read. That's where definitions go. Obviously you are not going to go on at length about something and then "Oh yeah, and by the way, this is what I meant by X. Gotcha!" Of course it is going to be the first thing you read.
PDFs are roughly on par with web pages feature-wise, including JavaScript or other actions that execute on load. Adobe did this, of course, to stave off the competition from the early web. Nowadays, PDF readers disable most of that by default (if they even support it).
The article itself does much more than merely suggest it:

> Kubrick himself, in response to a series of murder trials where the defendants explicitly mentioned his work, requested the withdrawal of A Clockwork Orange in the United Kingdom, where it could not be seen again until the director’s death in 1999.
It is also worth noting that most IPFS peers will cache content for some period of time even if not explicitly pinned. So if you site hits the top of Hacker News (and everyone was using a native IPFS browser) you would suddenly have thousands of peers with the content available. So in theory your one node can serve infinite users since once you serve one copy to the first user that user can replicate it to others. (The real world is of course more complicated but the idea works decently well in practice.)

This happened with the Heinlein book "Podkayne of Mars" -- the original ending had one character dying and another character changing course because of it. The editor thought it too heavy for a kids' book and directed a rewrite where everyone lived.

Years later a new print included both endings and staged an essay contest to decide which is the "right" ending.

I've been struggling to use Google Maps's search lately. I zoom into Orlando, search "Euro Deli", and it suddenly takes me to a place called Euro Deli in Quebec. If I go back to Orlando and then click "Search this area" it finally shows me euro deli stores in Orlando. Sometimes it doesn't even show me all of the results when I click "Search this area" and leaves some areas blank, making me think that city/town doesn't have e.g. a Burger King when it in fact does if I just pan around a bit and re-do the search

ZFS had its own data corruption bug some months ago.
TBH, this was a big minus. You really don't expect such things from a filesystem which is in production for years and whos aim is data integrity.
Now, to its defence, it is only used by FreeBSD and some nishe linux distributions, so it does not get much testing.
>Actually, its a quantitative problem

So is the rest of AI because we are using computers which operate on numbers. OR algorithms are one tool to emulate intelligence.
Thats true. We started off with a base set of blocks but i think the real utility will come in the easy orchestration and api end point building. We're pushing in the direction of apis and shareable workflows so hopefully some of these comparisons get clarified soon
I'm not justifying higher prices; I'm justifying different prices. There seemed to be an implication that some people wanted higher prices in poorer neighborhoods just to stick it to the poor in wording like this:

> You’re arguing that poor neighborhoods should pricier or worse water and sewage hah.

I apologize if I read into something that wasn't there. To clarify, I won't be upset if some poor neighborhoods happen to pay less for internet service than wealthy neighborhoods, either. And I fully understand your argument made elsewhere that you consider internet access to be a public utility that should be equally priced within the area, much like power or water.
"“In the sequence of the butter it was an idea I had with Marlon in the morning before shooting it but I had been in a way horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress.”

He added: “I feel guilty but I do not regret. To make movies sometimes to obtain something we have to be completely free. I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage, I wanted Maria to feel, not to act. Then she hated me for all her life.”"

The intention was clear, assault her for real, so she acts more natural and authentic. That was definitely not part of a script, but some sort of assault.
Most people don't have the luxury of tenure. Frankly, most people don't have the luxury of a single career that's well paying throughout their professional life. If funding dried up tomorrow and every number theory professor was out on their ear, that wouldn't be a bait and switch. That would be a uniquely nice and pleasant situation for them coming to an end.

It's probably also good to contextualize this historically. The NSF has only existed since 1950. The high degree of funding for pure math let alone the rest of science and engineering could easily be a historical blip.

I don't really care what happens to people who are currently employed doing some kind of useless research in academia. Indeed, they got hired for it. I'm simply pointing out that it's totally fair and reasonable for anyone to ask whether it's a good idea to employ people this way. Your earlier comment seems to suggest that you don't think it's OK for people to call this into question.

I'm also not particularly worried about it. I'm not sure how much money IAS gets, but my guess is that DARPA and the DOE get a hell of a lot more, which (at least in my opinion ;-) ) is good.
The term you are looking for is “source available”. Using “open” is deceptive.

Your source code is not “openly available” simply because you have published it.
Thanks! Is that something that you would ever consider putting on the main site, or adding some hints to show that that is possible once you sign up? Or maybe that you could share here?

I understand the potential market, however, as a startup, I probably wouldn't (and won't) sign up because I have been burned too many times when companies pivot to enterprise pricing only (i.e. Hasura) and it doesn't give me much confidence there would be a reason for you to continue supporting those plans since it's not the focus of the company based on not even having pricing on the home page.

Not a critique, just some feedback :)

It depends. If I was going to a conference at the Moscone center I would take the BART. If I was going to go visit friends in San Luis Obpiso or go see the redwoods I'd rent a car. Most of the times I've flown to Montreal for work I have taken the excellent 747 bus (always stayed downtown or one subway hop away) but I have had times when the hour was crazy late or I hurt my foot and then I take a cab. To the extent that I can I plan the trip around taking transit.

So far as traveling with kids I'd say that many kids who grow up in suburban and exurban areas are driven around in cars all the time and taking the train is more of a special thing for them. Driving and parking is atrocious in Boston or DC so even as a motortourist visiting the region I am inclined to park my car near the end of the commuter rail line and ride in with the possibility of staying in a hotel on the outskirts or one further in.

There is the issue of traveling light or not. I travel light, some people might need to bring a lot of clothes or sporting gear or maybe a CPAP Machine and an Apple Vision and a lot of other stuff but I usually travel out of a backpack. Because shopping sucks where I live it is not unusual for me to not pack extra underwear but buy a bag in town and stuff it with underwear from the Nike store and other items I can get from shops in the city.

Right now I am planning a trip to see the New York Red Bulls play soccer in Harrison, NJ. The PATH train goes right there, it looks very low stress to take the bus from home to midtown, catch a train, spend a night in a hotel somewhere, go see the Intrepid museum, ride home. If I was traveling in a party of 4 or more the cost adds up for taking transit so I would take the car and figure out parking though I would probably design the trip around finding a hotel close to transit and parking just once. Going myself the bus is a slam dunk, even with one friend the bus wins, at three I'd have to think about it.

I'm in a rural location so I am unlikely to take transit to the airport at home but there are times I have. The airport itself has good bus service but the bus home runs a limited number of times a day and I almost always fly in and out early and late respectively. Our local airport has degraded considerably since the pandemic so I think next time I fly it will be out of SYR airport which is about an hour away but is super-competitive almost like a European airport, I am thinking of flying somewhere like Charleston, SC on Breeze Airways mainly because I want to fly on an Airbus 220 and for less than $100 it's a steal. Unfortunately bus and air connections don't work well on this route so it will likely be a "kiss and ride"
In 90s it was NT4. Excellent OS.
As already mentioned, Markov chains were already used in practice as (poor) Turing tests (IMHO working best in art projects, and sadly, spam).

Sure, today's LLMs blow them out of the water, but the difference was much less striking with neural networks even as late as 2010.
If Common Lisp allowed additional methods to be added to + (if they were generic functions, and if the new methods did not override the standard ones) without changing the existing methods, it would be possible to be just as efficient. That's because one could just dispatch as now and instead of erroring if nothing applied, instead check the new methods.
Any system where the proposed solution is "be better" without an outline of "and here is how" and some method of enforcement is doomed to fail.

Checklists, build checks, linters, tests, SLOs, post incident responses, follow up tickets, etc all serve to unload "be a better software developer" into actual systems and processes that can continuously enable the better behavior.

Simply stating "do a better job" wont work as organizations scale. Related, you can expect what you inspect.
