I'm a new grad from SUNY Stony Brook and upcoming OMSCS student at GTech. Professionally, I've worked on a breadth of Systems projects, from parallelizing/distributing and algorithmically improving upon a graph connectivity algorithm, to implementing two Classical CV Papers. My Scholastic projects have a wider variety, including a Google Docs clone, multiple full-stack applications, and some lower-level projects. Ultimately, I would like to work towards compilers/language design, and would love to work with people already in this field. Looking for an exciting role preferably in the Systems space, and looking to work as a SWE.
Sorry my mistake. I misunderstood Solid as working same as Svelte with a compiler.
Without an add-in (it may or may not exist anymore), Word cannot natively read from (and format) or write to (with markup) Markdown. Ask any one of several novelists who work in Markdown; once you convert it to Word (presumably via Pandoc) and send it to your editor/publisher, it stays in Word throughout the rest of the editorial process.
How many people here aren't making 6 figures? I'd wager a slim minority. And I'll bet that some who show up here are making 7 figures. Did you think you were replying on reddit or twitter or something?
Communism fails because giving everyone a voice in central planning can't scale up to an economy of millions of people. It requires a degree of central planning that permits too much corruption. The only known vaccine against corruption is high civic engagement. Every society has a given level of civic engagement; and thus a given maximum level of central planning before corruption becomes intolerable. No known large society has a high enough level of civic engagement to support the amount of central planning required by communism.

Communism works just fine for small groups (<10), and passably up to a few hundred (e.g. kibbutzim). Your argument would apply equally well at those scales, but mine doesn't. Full disclosure -- there are other arguments that contradict mine while still differentiating these cases.

Of course it doesn't super matter, because this proposal (though not a great idea) isn't communism and communism reliably fails anyway at the scales most people mean.
Of course one could argue that that this wasn’t the fault of socialism, but rather a government that prioritized the desires of industry above all else.

Lest we forget when that paragon of free market capitalism, the United States, prior to the creation of the EPA and its glorious burning Cuyahoga River.

We tested both SeaweedFS and Min.io for cheaply (HDD) storing > 100TB of audio data.

Seaweed had much better performance for our use case.
Apparently more generally, Virginia, here is some of reality:

(1) Holes. We have a Constitution, laws, regulations, etc., but they do not cover every possible situation and, instead, there are holes.

(2) New. In particular, things that are new in tech, science, math (even math, e.g., RSA encryption), etc. can create "situations" not covered by (1). That is, in principle the "holes" were already there and not being exploited or causing problems, but then something "new" comes along and, using "holes," creates new situations and new problems.

(3) F'get about it. Typically a "new problem" has comparatively small effect with only a few people concerned about the effects. Then, usually the attitude is f'get about it. E.g., the "situation" may not have common sense, justice, equity, etc.

(4) Squeaks and Grease.

Yup, "The wheel that squeaks gets the grease." Or, when in some sense the problem is big enough, then it gets attention -- deals, lawsuits, Congress, the Executive Branch, elections, ..., the Constitution.

(5) Point. Virginia, here is the point: The "attention" in (4) can take big time, money, and effort, e.g., for time, years, maybe decades.

In particular, Virginia, if reality is like a boat, even if it is not leaking now, actually, unfortunately it is NOT fully water-tight and in some new weather, situations, can LEAK.

What to do? Try to avoid situations where need to depend on justice, good common sense, no holes, no "leaks", lawyers, laws, Congress, elections (e.g., politics), the Constitution, etc.

Simon Tatham has a completely guess free minesweeper in his portable puzzle collection: https://git.tartarus.org/?p=simon/puzzles.git;a=blob;f=mines...

The basic idea is he generates a grid, runs it through a deductive solver, and if it fails, heuristically changes the grid a little where it failed and tries again.

I'll try some different ratios and get back to you!

edit: I tried some runs with size 3 and 20% mines, that felt a lot more like expert difficulty Minesweeper too in terms of the sizes of the empty patches you uncover by uncovering a 0.

While true and a fair rebuttal to all higher tax suggestions, increased tax on people like OP would have a much larger effect than just them giving a bit more away.
Virtual reality will be the ultimate CAPTCHA system. Virtual scenarios can be constructed to motivate and engage the VR user, while simultaneously mapping to a real problem to be solved for the operator. In a way, every user will be helping to push forward in some (perhaps unknown to them) frontier.

That was a super useful way of seeing a website if the website's server was down. Ouch.

So what does `<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">` do for Google search now?
That conflation is what Baudrillard addressed in Simulacra and Simulation (a book that the cast of the Matrix were required to read before filming started). When environments are designed, the blueprint is what one experiences in those environments, the conceptual underpinning, even if the environment consists of matter. In a sense, they try to tell us what to think. The book came out in 1983, so these are old ideas, not really vanguard anymore, but it raises legitimate points that are becoming a lot more noticeably believable with the rise of information technology. I think the OP has a point.
Cached webpages have pretty much been dead since the pandemic, at least from my usage in the last few years.
There used to be a prominent cache link under the search results, then it moved to a weird overflow menu thing, and then finally about a year or more ago, Google exposed no cache version for most websites. This just seems like confirmation.

Still really shitty. I used it constantly. I hate new Google.
That's interesting, never would have considered the particulates from brakes but I guess it's like tire dust in that way. I'm not buying the "slightly easier to maintain" though... Sure we've all seen the seized caliper slide pins, but that's less a result of corrosion and more a result of the laziness of the last guy. I'll take disks over drums any time if it means I don't have to piece the drum brake hardware puzzle back together.
A profound truth, however, is that the greatest mysteries are found in conserved systems, which can become rich and complex, not in infinite ones, which stretch out like blank white sheets to the edge of the cosmos.

Is imagination not infinite?

They lost $42 billion on Oculus 3/Pro research. My brain cannot process these numbers. I do not see how it's possible. It's as if a football stadium of fans each had a suitcase of a million dollars and all threw it onto the field, then they torched it all with gasoline. They burned a million dollars, then burned another million dollars, then repeated that a thousand more times. Then this entire story repeated, 42 times. Nope, brain still isn't wrapping around it. I know how many useless product managers a big tech company can have wandering around making tiktoks, but that still doesn't explain the scale.
No, fringe fascist parties that scrape by with preferences are just rookies, and the GOP are the professionals. The GOP has way more subtle, systematic, and effective ways of making people’s lives worse. They’ll bang on about hot-button issues to get constituent support, but they mostly still know how to say the quiet part quiet. Rookie conservatives don’t.

It's the other way around. Handing out /64 is the problem, but you and I can't solve it - that's the ISPs stupid decision. People will continue solving this by making smaller subnets and I believe this will become an official solution in the future, because smaller subnets solve a real (even if artificially created) problem.
Is a 'cap' not a 'cutoff, limit, or threshold'?
However the lowest friction option is to use private IPv4 between your servers, but give every server a public IPv6 it can use for outgoing calls: updating the OS, fetching github repositories, collecting logs on your favorite SaaS, etc.

Of course you can do all this via IPv4 by setting up proxies or gateways, but that's more work and more moving pieces than checking the checkbox that you want a public IPv6 and having it just work ... provided everyone you want to talk to talks IPv6.
This isn't actually COVID specific. It's a nasty and frequent tactic on this forum, where someone makes strong assertions about one side of an argument whilst simultaneously claiming that the other side can't be allowed to speak because it would be "fighting", a "flamewar", a "trash fire", "not curious", "tedious" or whatever. It's an attempt to manipulate the site rules to suppress debate and is itself anti-curious.

Concrete examples from your comment history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32104731

"Given the weak sourcing, it feels like this article, in particular, flunks the "divisive subjects require more thought and substance" test."

(on a Bari Weiss article arguing that health authorities weren't really driven by science, something they now admit themselves was true).

In other comments you asserted that COVID vaccines can't possibly be dangerous but also said, "Convincing suspicious vaccine-skeptics of the value of vaccines is not the goal here. We're not a public health service; we're a forum for curious conversation. Tedious rehashes of antivax arguments aren't curious; they're just tedious."

If you don't like such discussions, ignore them! Nobody forces you to click through to the comments section. But this tactic of trying to define disagreement with your very strong opinions as not "curious" enough is tiresome. Other people do in fact want curious conversation, which will sometimes mean conversations about topics that you don't like. I'll say it again: leave those discussions alone. Stay away by all means, but don't interfere with other people's curiousity.
'cool car' is incredibly subjective. In my case, I live in the UK and drive a BMW M3 - from where I stand the American obsession with trucks is ridiculous. Give me a driver's car any day, not some daft tank of a car where the driving experience is so woolly that the steering wheel may or may not actually be connected to the wheels.
Yeah, there was/is? A lot of money in green washing and Tesla stock was great as well.
Please read the comment again; you have not understood it.

The work on materialized views in ClickHouse, from my perspective, is still quite rudimentary. If interested, I suggest looking into the materialized views of StarRocks. StarRocks' materialized views not only support multi-table joins and incremental updates but can also automatically rewrite query requests, so you don't have to modify your SQL statements at all.

Some people read it as a death threat but they mostly seem to be people who dislike him or his politics. To me that seems like it's being exploited for political reasons. Which Garry obviously made easy to do. Not the same thing as an actual death threat though.

I think it depends on what you're trying to do. For any given project, what's the goal? Who are you building it for? Are you trying to build a business around it?

There's a big difference in working on a project for fun, and building something to solve a problem for users. In the article, I do not see any mention about talking to users, customers, etc. and asking what they want. It's a lot more motivating to continue working on a project when you're building something people want and solves real problems.
His handshake with Arnold Schwarzenegger is the most iconic and wholesome ever put to camera. The macho version of "The Creation of Adam" if Michelangelo had been a bodybuilding.com forum user.
> You could have said the same thing about it the early financial system as well.

Only if you have no understanding of what the words mean. For example, most cryptocurrencies are fiat currencies - just exceptionally weak ones. The reason why using USD isn’t a gamble is that it’s linked to a massive economy with guaranteed demand.

> Of course it doesn’t. It’s developing. And it’s doing it in spite of the existing financial system trying to damage or destroy it periodically.

Ah, yes, this part of the sales pitch was bound to come up. The flaws I described aren’t some sort of minor growing pains, they’re architectural. After 15 years and billions of dollars, not having a progress towards fixing them suggests that telling people to ignore them and buy in anyway is not the way you fix design defects.

no. PTFE is a member of the class PFAS.

polytetrafluoroethylene is a polyfluoroalkyl substance.
It is mentioned by its old name in older blog posts, but there seems to have been a rebrand to just "MDN". For example, there's no explanation of what MDN stands for on the About page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/about
There is no 'extra demand' as electricy is energy.

The overall 'energy' needed will be less because EVs do not waste 70% of energy to heat and a heat pump creates out of 1 energy unit 2-5 energy units.

It is also much easier to efficiently do gas to power/oil to power in big plants and use the excess process energy for other things.

Even if our whole society will consume more energy in the next x years, thanks to EVs and electrifying heating (with heatpump) this line/graph/curve will be less than if we would not have EV and e heating through heatpumps.

opening a shared url like this doesn't seem to work. i just get the beginner view.

also i noticed that sometimes a tile is empty or white even though it should have bevels because there is actually a bomb under it. it's a cosmetic issue maybe caused by the algorithm to automatically uncover empty tiles.

That's not how it works. Get Elon and friends to donate half his wealth and then we can talk.

Progressive taxation is a good idea...

I live in a PR jurisdiction. Please do correct me if I’m wrong but you sound like an American whose idea of being open-minded is to consider alternative voting systems as an engineering interest yet still can’t bring yourself to actually consider the experience of other jurisdictions. If my country, that I’m fairly fond of, moved to FPTP, it would at the very least cause me great anguish, and I’d strongly consider leaving. It’s quite clearly a far worse system, but please do keep your head in the sand.

A strong Democracy safeguards the interests and priorities of the majority of a society - say, like the Brenton Woods system.

Whereas our recent Pax Neoliberalia only caters for the interests and priorities of the richest. Thomas Piketty wrote a whole book demonstrating this: r > g.

It's also okay to express your preference that the role be filled by someone who didn't get there by drumming up the media and casting aspersions.
Clearly wealth can be zero sum, and it can be varying shades of grey.

When employees of a small business see their company tank while being forced to hold their shares for a year under a SPAC acquisition, while the founders and SPAC sell at a overvalued projected cost — nothing productive results and who holds the sum? I’d wager a number of people here have experienced that personally.

And when Bezos wants diapers.com…?
Or to put it another way, the Vision Pro is only a VR device because the AR capabilities they want also allow for VR functionality.
This is really cool. Thanks for making it! I think the factual (not calling it neutral) POV is the correct one. The length of the text is good for the summary; not too little but not too much either. Though I do agree with other commenters that a "go deeper" type action could be neat. The presentation works for me.

A profile of some kind could be nice for down the road. What kind of news stories do you want to see?

One thing most news is AWFUL at is the timeline of the topic in an easy digestible way. Let's say it's the conflict in the middle east. Sure, here's the new story from today. Most outlets may put a link or two to a related story, but other than the relation, there's not much more context to it.

Within the story block — or as a separate section or something? — it would be cool to have almost like a "timeline" summary view. Here's how this thing/topic started and changed and here's how we got to where we are today. Maybe that's an overall summary of several stories. Maybe it's a general overview with links to all the specific stories over time. I'm not sure. But it keeps getting updated with additional news. Tough problem to solve I think.

That would be an absolutely killer feature, IMO. It would add some much needed context to the news bites today, where it can be awfully easy to forget there's more to it than this one article.
It literally says in the very next sentence: "Documents posted Friday by U.S. safety regulators say the recall will be done with an online software update."

You cutting that out has to be intentional. ;)

I'm kidding: I don't think you or the writer had any intent of anything, other than communicating, nor do I think about that sort of thing.
What can also be judged is ignoring expert advice in favor of rolling their own inferior solutions.
Interesting. Every post in that thread that seemed to have mentioned the name of the brand in question, has been removed with the excuse that it broke the rule for "Responses must be helpful and high quality" or "No requesting or offering DMs".

Is it common for reddit to censor under false pretenses?
Because it's hard to acquire and store USD. Banks - if they even have them - won't give them to you easily. Currency traders will charge a huge premium. And neither fixes the problem that you will be limited to hard cash - not easily spendable online and tough to store.

USDC/USDT are liquid on exchanges as well as OTC markets, very easy to store, and increasingly easy to spend.

Much of the western world is deeply ignorant of the sheer scale of this demand for USDT in the Global South. There are billions of people in these regions, and one thing is clear across all of them: they will prefer USD over their local currencies, but it's too hard to acquire this USD, especially in a digital form.

Hence, USDT/USDC.

I've personally hired people from Phillippines and Nigeria who preferred getting paid in USDT over their local currencies.
Mine is much older and shaped differently, but that's cool.
More likely that they've laid-off or reassigned the person(s) responsible for Googlecache, and want to sunset the feature as fast as possible.
Sure, but that's just moving most of the chaos from your app to a message bus. Which is almost always correct, assuming you are actually at the scale where you need that level of architectural complexity.
You could make the opposite argument about all the innovations, are and science, rich people have funded throughout history. Like what if Boeing didn't have all that money to dump into airplanes.
There are no sidelines, it's a closed system.
The age old conundrum: do people want what they get, or want what they get?

Bezos got rich by buying labor from people for less it was worth, buying products for less than he could sell them, and using them both to create a new retail possibility that had some distinct benefits for a lot of us in our role as consumers.

Oh, and AWS.
Almost certainly they're keeping the copies but removing them from the public UI. A bunch of ranking signals, anti-spam techniques, semantic information about the page, etc. stem from the history of how it was updated.

The article even says how to get to the cached pages (bypassing the SERP), so clearly they still exist.

When my ex told me she "didn't like sci-fi" but couldn't name anything in particular she didn't like, I showed her Farscape, and she watched it end to end almost every year after that. In fact, I just checked the media server logs, and she logged into watch an episode just this week.
Not only do I want everyone in my "class" to contribute more to society, everyone significantly above me should be contributing a larger share. This is the basis of progressive taxation.
I there any reason to use something like this instead of S3 or similar products when you are not running your own infra?
Setup is a little obscure, but the developer is responsive on Slack and GH.

We are only a couple months in and haven’t had to add to our cluster yet, storing about 250TB, so it’s still early for us. Promising so far and hardware has already paid for itself.
