I rage quit Quora some years ago publicly here on HN, I dont recall now the exact reason (something to do with unwanted profile/content/privacy change or some such...

It was quite a while back, but I have never really gone to quora since, especially since its basically a paywall (I also never go to NYT unfortunately because their paywall is so BFY;TW I cant stand it.
Lower clearance mainly, mean lower gravity center, generally more space (not always) and better front visibility (The A-pillar in newer minivans are a bit worse than SUVs, so point for them at least).

Lower clearance is really, really nice. 95% of deathly accidents involve a single car that went out of control, that's why road death increase with the %age of SUVs in a country despite better tech.
Either the CEO sees what’s going on and is fine with it mean it is their vision, they are putting their feet up and don’t care, or they are not fine with it and have no control over the company.

Smeary is the perfect word to describe it. Whereas I would’ve described my Meta quest 2 as laggy.
We alteady have time as measured in seconds. "Requests" are at best an ill defined concept measured as a discrete quantify. I see no reason to 'standardize' beyond requests per second in a given context imho.
Learning sole CS first is probably a good idea, but I don't agree with the reasoning. C++ exposes the underlying hardware to a large degree, and if you don't understand it, you'll be allowed to break stuff easily and before you know it. This is much harder to do in Rust. You don't need to know anything about function pointers, interrupts, registries, virtual tables, and what not, in order to follow the memory model. The unsafe parts, is a different story, so I suppose there is a limit. But Rust and C++ are fairly far apart imo.
"At that point isn't all you have what you learn?"

Yes, but without the credential will you be given the opportunity to use it? Is it worth anything without being used? These are not the kinds of questions readers are asking themselves when looking for MBA reading lists. Many see the MBA as a checkbox (which it is) and seek checkbox style lists of books. So the length/style of the list isn't leading to the checkbox mentality, rather that mentality is common in the context of credentialization.
> A problem space I'm familiar with is having a bunch of Terraform or Cloudformation configuration you want to share/repeat in multiple projects. Doing-so can get hairy quickly, as the path of least resistance is to copy-paste a bunch of config you barely understand from some other project, and then perform trial-and-error surgery to find and change a couple of lines to suit your project.

Yes, Pkl is meant to solve this problem. It's a single place for you to configure all your targets. Within the same codebase, you can generate static configuration, and also import the same Pkl source files into a runtime application, so you don't have to copy/paste things around.
There’s such a weird vane of do nothingness that runs through this comments attitude. Yeah of course it’s easy to pick dependancies when you don’t worry about deadlines. A programmer without a deadline is like a fisherman going to grocery store to buy fish and claiming it’s “best practices” better results, but what was the point?

While yes tobacco, alcohol etc. do contribute to increased rates, everyone is going to get cancer at some point simply by living long enough.
I did this. You could just dd a binary to the iPods drive (with some magic numbers) and the iPod would execute it on boot. Someone figured this out for older iPods already. The USB storage mode was still available so this was quite safe.

As an ambulance chaser who gets to deal with both the healthcare industry and the insurance industry, you are correct.
It's extremely common to get things twisted up. Even if there is a good tech lead, that person may not be good at writing documentation, may be too busy writing code, and may not yet have a plan for how to keep things organized.

Maintaining a code base requires communication, PR reviews and discipline. That doesn't always happen.

Having lint check rules is brilliant. Never mind discipline, you just need a friendly error to say don't import services into an ORM model file. I'm going to adopt this right away.
how do cashless transactions require social trust? you trust your bank, I trust my bank, and we don't have to trust each other at all. if you can't trust your bank, you are SOL.
One way to look at it is that socializing the children requires a particular amount of raw time from the humans being their interactive role-models. This means prices will tend to rise alongside the wages of those parental figures.

I say "socializing" because I want to distinguish it from either imparting academic knowledge or providing for material needs/safety. I think those three categories are very different in terms of how easily--or wisely--they might be handled by automation.

For example, a robot that changes diapers and stops your child from falling over cliffs: Awesome. An endlessly patient software tutor for teaching algebra: Cool. An AI that serves as virtual aunt/uncle/best-friend? Uh oh.

Yeah that shit should be illegal.
So our check against making the financially obvious decision to try to get out of the obligation to save people from disasters they paid into a risk pool to mitigate because they are infrequent enough that adequate individual preparation is impractical but devastating enough that insuring against them is rational is to hope that people who have been stiffed by these companies to weather those disasters on their own resources despite having paid into the risk pool will then be able to muster the wherewithal and finances to bring suit against an insurance corporation large enough to credibly claim to bulwark that risk afterward

I just can't see why this isn't working
No mention of HA and last I checked Postgres still had no good solution for that... so I'm guessing they don't need HA and can tolerate downtime while they restore the DB cluster?
what are you talking about? this is about discriminating based on race, which includes the white race. your implicit assumption here is that anti-discrimination measures for minorities is discriminatory against white people. which is, uh, not a great take.
There’s a current scandal at a US university. The University President and his wife had an OF account, and were producing content as a passion project.

I don’t know how common that is.

I expect the people trying to optimize profit are more common, but also switch platform and genre a lot, according to where the money is.

But OF is certainly trying to portray itself as a passion project type place, however dishonest that may be.
The examples I know of are usually on divided highways - they're on the wrong side of the barrier.

The premise itself is screwy because it doesn't account for human nature.
The government should not be prohibited (in some places they are! Muni broadband as an example) from offering competing services.

Proper competition would limit market malfunction.

For alcohol, that's true, but most cheap wines use plastic caps around here.
I think the parent was commenting on how screw caps were better than the plastic "cork" style as well.
As a daily destination, Quora is no longer usable for me, no need to repeat what others already said. But the digest still surprises me and the posts are often good, even if it's a rewritten Wikipedia entry. It's like a user-generated "wonders of the past/world" newspaper for me. Daily was too much, but weekly is ok. I'm not sure whether every e-mail send it personalized, but at least in some way it looks like dependent on what I clicked before.
Is this just using the word 'entropy' as a stand-in for complexity or is there some actual definition of entropy involved?

Cash becomes an appreciating asset. It leads people to hoard cash rather than invest in stocks and bonds, and delay purchases stagnating the economy.

How do we pay for the enormous amount of common public goods, such as roads, a legal system, safety, security, education, health, NASA, etc etc, if we don't jointly pay for them?

And if we jointly pay for them, don't each of us have a share to pay?

(I think we both are in good faith. No need to imply I'm a thief or oppressor.)
That would be on the client (the LSP support in the specific IDE) to implement though, and would then work for any language server that implemented those capabilities?

Like 'go to definition' or whatever is surely in every IDEs menu, but it can be done with LSP.
They are not superior. Convenient in certain circumstances, perhaps.

For example if one cannot be bothered to use, or does not have a corkscrew handy, a screw cap might be preferred for some.

I know it is difficult for most Modern Americans to use a corkscrew. Even more difficult is being able to appreciate the complexities and effort that goes into making good, traditional wine. Best to do away with tradition for the sake of convenience.
We see it differently. Exodus is useful in this capacity as much as any other, similar base os image or not for preventing overwriting.
Love it, I think dependency trees are super underused data for static analysis.

The visualization here is amazing in its own right as well, can I ask what part of the codebase renders it and handled the force-directed part?
How about anhydrous ammonia? Or phosphate? I’m sorry, but there is no generous interpretation of “don’t dump chemicals on land.” It’s an empty statement that amounts to little more than value signaling. And it was presented with righteous indignation. I thought it best to counter that extreme position with obvious and irrefutable exceptions in an effort to open the door to a more thoughtful conversation. Unfortunately, on environmental issues, it seems for some there is only dogma.

Yeah.

There a new online service that lets you get autographed content from celebrities. It shows the celebrities signing the item, and that video is an important part of the service.

Celebrity economics are weird. But authenticity is an important part.

I "think" I understand what I'm looking at - it's like a 3d dependency tree with added flow of exports -> imports? It certainly looks very pretty![1]

How are they inferior?

Here in British Columbia, the car insurance system recently received a massive overhaul. Car insurance has long been a public monopoly that many complained led to higher prices than in other provinces. That much may be true. But the recent overhaul involved eliminating the right to sue in most cases, instead requiring the insurance company to cover
the long term healthcare costs of the injured. No longer do the victims of accidents have to sue for a settlement.

Of course it’s not perfect. Some people have been injured and then felt they received less care than they would have otherwise under the litigious system. But on balance I think this change is likely for the best. It closed of an externality that previously led to a great deal of unnecessary expense (on lawyers), recognizing that car accidents are largely random.

At a bare minimum, everyone should purchase uninsured motorist insurance to the maximum degree possible. If you are injured by someone from out-of-state or someone who has no insurance at all, you will need it.

The phrase "tyranny of the rocket equation" seems to go back at least as far as this 2012 NASA article:

What about it? It is disconcerting how so many people on HN don't understand basic economics. If we want to replace "plastics" for some reason then we need to come up with a superior alternative not an inferior one. Since you raised the question, what about hemp makes it a realistic solution to insulating wire? Can it be thermoplastically extruded? Is it really so hard to see how growing hemp plants, harvesting the fiber, weaving the fiber into braided insulation, that is more porous and susceptible to compromise by moisture than any plastic is an inferior solution?

It is really bizarre to me how people online have jumped in the plastic hate bandwagon with zero understanding of how industrial processes that make the modern world possible actually work.

Why not replace the dirty rubber in tires with wooden wheels?
dhcp. Boring, simple, and insufficient for professional work imo. Not a problem for a largely static home network

At work "the ricoh guy" manages the printers. You can access them by name (wins) or ip. I think that's a good enough solution, but it focuses all the static ip work to one small team (possibly 1 person) and to everyone else it's some characters you effectively copy paste once per laptop refresh. No networking knowledge necessary

To be clear, it's not that I think these skills lack value or practical application in lots of professional settings, it's that I think their relative position to other things has gone down

The size tax should be applied to imports, just like VAT is.
Do you think the "benefits" (strange to say, but I totally get it) of fatigue and limitations will diminish over time as you get used to the new hardware? Or if the hardware/software itself gets better?

I just wonder if the friction imposed by a new tool—which, in this case, is a net positive—will become less noticeable and therefore less of a benefit. Compared to something like a smartwatch, which has impassable constraints no matter how much you get used to it, or even an e-ink screen.
There are no limits on a nonprofit's ability to raise and maintain cash reserves; there are limits on how and to whom funds can be disbursed and (to a lesser extent) the kinds of activities that can be used to generate funds. But a nonprofit can sit on an endlessly-growing hoard of cash if that's what they (and their donors) want to do.

That said the EBS bandwidth credits complaint is very very valid.

Anything beneath a db.r6g.4xlarge get "up to" bandwidth which means credits. The RDS docs are not explicit about this as we didn't get bit by it but we could of if we had been less cautious. And I notice for the r7g instances you need to hit an 8xlarge before you get guaranteed EBS bandwith.

I'd never be moving to Aurora for performance though, you do it for the magical (but expensive) replication
Fascinating. This may weigh down the Drake equation, particularly in reducing the average time civilizations survive on planets with high gravity because their ability to become multiplanetary and survive great filters is limited.

The portion of the code in charge of rendering lives inside the `internal/entropy` (https://github.com/gabotechs/dep-tree/tree/main/internal/ent...).

Force-directed is an algorithm for displaying graphs in a 2d or 3d space, which simulates attraction/repulsion based on the dependencies between the nodes, the wikipedia page explains it really well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing

Definitely, specially for evaluating "the big picture" of a codebase

If they can’t build on it, who would buy it? Urban farmers?

In any case, your plan would destroy the land value, and the corresponding property tax revenue.
If you're building one API endpoint per frontend view to avoid doing multiple API requests, your frontend and backend aren't decoupled anymore. I personally wouldn't say it's a bad thing, but if the best way to solve the issues of a decoupled frontend is to couple it to the backend again then I don't think that counts as an argument in favor of decoupled frontends.
This is a great example of why the paper's methodology is so utterly bogus. A Markov chain algorithm isn't going to come up with strategies like this, but humans certainly will.

Nah, nothing like that, "entropy" in the colloquial meaning of level of disorder, it has proven to be a useful word for people to understand what it is about, even though it's strictly incorrect.
Related theoretical question for those who are of the physics mindset - if I had a long (very long like 1 light minute long) bar of metal and I pushed on one end, I'm assuming the other end would not move instantaneously because that would imply some part somewhere inside the bar was moving faster than the speed of light. So I'm assuming that the bar would just compress slightly and for a period of time in between when I pushed on one end and when the other end moved the bar would be slightly shorter. That's fine if that's the case.

But what if the thing I push on is a quantum particle? Does this same thing happen at the smallest scales? If one end of a quark is pushed on does the other end move instantaneously or is there a small(!) delay?

Probably the answer is just "that's not how quarks work" but I've always been curious.
I remember there being an issue where in some parts of the world the cork quality was not sufficient for wine bottles so screw caps had become more popular. Probably for the best, screw caps really seem better for everyone.

> anyone using new chips that use Intel ME (or AMD's equivalent) have a gaping hole in their security that no OS can patch

Not really; anyone using chips with Intel ME or AMD PSP have an additional large binary blob running on their system which may or may not contain bugs or backdoors (of course, also realizing a sufficiently bad bug is indistinguishable from a backdoor).

There are tens to hundreds of such blobs running on almost any modern system and these are just one example. I would argue that ME and PSP are not the worst blob on many systems; they have both unsupported but almost certainly effective (MEcleaner / ME code removal), supported and almost certainly effective (HAP bit), or supported and likely effective (ME / PSP disable command) mechanisms to disable their functionality, and they are comparatively well-documented versus the firmware that runs on every other peripheral (networking, GPU, etc.) and comparatively hardened versus EFI.
