Maybe off topic, but what means "de novo"? (in Portuguese it means "again" but I can't make sense of this)

You can definitely accomplish something like this in VSCode and I would strongly encourage any student to explore customizing their own tools and workflow.

The main difference is that VSCode “extensions” (which in most respects are very much like emacs modes) are usually written in TypeScript rather than elisp. In fact there’s a guy called Steve Yegge who has blogged a bunch about an effort to make it possible to extend Emacs with JavaScript, so there’s lots of precedent for the analogy.

If you decide you want to do this and need help getting started feel free to email me.
You pay equinix for the space.

You pay hurricane for the bandwidth.
If I'm not mistaken, this is copied from the OP, which is pointing out that you get 100GB/mo free (that's the "100GB/mo" part). The $92.16 cost is for 1TB of egress. It's clearer in the original article.
What about these two scenarios make them analogous to you?

> Think of all the software which does not exist if we are still writing in assembly because we are constrained by the hardware.

There is an entire spectrum between "640k ought to be enough for anybody" and "this app needs its own fully independent copy of an entire browser engine just to display a couple screens of text".

About Electron: Operating systems provide their own system-level webviews. Use those. Tauri uses those; Tauri apps are absolutely tiny and use very little RAM, because the system-level webview doesn't have to duplicate the overhead of an entire browser engine for every single app that uses it. It typically only has to duplicate the overhead of a single page.

But that is for apps that even need a webview. For apps that don't, you don't have to drop all the way down to assembly to pick something like WinForms. Even WinUI 3 isn't always terrible, at least compared to webviews.

Hell, I wonder if even Python + wxPython would be more efficient than using a webview. Honestly, none of the software you mentioned is "too wasteful", or at least those aren't what I was referring to with my original comment.

Have you heard about Microsoft Teams, and how it can take up to 10 seconds just to display the splash screen, even on a decently fast computer? I'd like to see you try to tell me that it would have literally killed them to optimize it a bit more. Just think back to, say, the IRC clients from back in the Windows 7 days where you wouldn't even have to blink before they finished opening up.
Ask HN: How did you learn economics?
I believe that understanding economics is pretty essential in tech. I see a lot of career struggles where it helps understanding fundamentals with depth, to foresee how trends are working past present future and how you can stay a step ahead. I did a degree in econ and CS, and during my undergrad I remember trying to get my CS friends to gawk at FRED data or BLS reports with me, but they never were really interested, especially when in their opinion, there were more pressing matters to attend to like gaming. So, I wonder, how did you learn about economics? Was it out of necessity or curiosity? Did you learn via book recommendations or some youtube channel? What pushed you to really learn about economics beyond what the average techie would know?
>>>> tied to the value of the land beneath >>>plus some nominal appreciation for the >>building on top

I'm not sure i agree with this take.

The building is clearly a depreciating asset. If left alone the house will eventually be worth nothing because a decrept properly carries liabilities instead (neighborhoid fire hazard, penalties , fees etc) So there no nominal value there.

Onward to the land. The only real reason for land to appreciate is because it ia scarce resource. But then you see that the land also has a carrying cost (taxes) that is fixed regardless of its use. Therein lies the dilemma. If land is an asset that generates expense , and then that expense only grows as time passes but theres no income associated with it, are you really seeing land appreciation when you sell, or are you simply recouping your carrying cost during the term it was held?

For purposes of repealing or altering the Second Amendment, yes, the Constitution is effectively immutable.

But of course anyone is welcome to attempt to get a majority of state legislatures onboard to ratify a new amendment.

Analogous terms are encoded into most state constitutions - probably have to knock those pesky provisions out as well.
I spent a long time after Windows Phone died trying to find an Android launcher that felt as clean and intuitive, and I failed. Microsoft did, however, release their own launcher which for me has proven to be the least sucking of the closed source options. I don't use any of the social features or other widgets, but I do clean everything off the home screen (including the dock) and just have a handful of large icons clustered along the sides where they are easy for me to reach. Combine with a nice icon pack and you can get a pretty minimal desktop. Swipe to get to the app drawer. It's still fundamentally a grid, though.
I use that method for hotfixes.

I usually pull from staging include a number of changes from various branches merged into staging or things directly committed to the staging branch. Test everything and push a release, inform stakeholders, etc.

Any change to production will merge back to staging so everything stays in sync.
There was no AWS, and there was no Terraform. I did have a shell script that would install what was needed, compile my own version of Mysql, configure it, and go.

The speed of sound in steel and roughly 1m of steering column put the theoretical minimum latency at 0.2ms. Manufacturing tolerances and material strain put minimum bounds on accuracy as well. Your entire suspension, down to the rigidity of the individual linkages, influences the steering of your vehicle.

> Yes, I'm well aware of tire deformation and contact patch mechanics, but that's not the issue here...

I think it's very relevant to know that cars already take the direction of the tires/rims/wheel as more of a suggestion. The "tightness" of the steering and the suspension varies drastically between vehicles. So what is the issue here? How it drives. I don't have one, but a common comment I've found in reviews is that it's "too sensitive." I think this is an imagined problem.
How would you prevent folks from machining, 3d printing, or casting their own? Firearm technology is centuries old.
Seen from first principles, BVH is quite close to some kinds of hierarchical clustering. The ray intersection part can be understood in turn as a kind of normalization, or projection to the unit sphere. So depending on how much hardware is actually reserved to this task on-chip, there might be ways of making it somewhat useful in the ML context.
I recently got to see the backrooms of an MIT building in sub basement 2. You had to go through some tight spaces (think ~20") and there was some rotating machinery to stay away from. I was surprised at how big it was. When I first went in I thought it was just the narrow corridor with the large air handler units, but it snaked around a corner to reveal itself to be 4-5 times that size.

The entire MIT campus is connected through underground hallways, most in use as labs. It's not all in ship shape, but tunnels and underground labs and industrial machinery do entertain my inner child.

I've heard UWisc's steam pipe service tunnels are cool to see, but I never got a chance to explore them while I was there.
Don't feel bad about saying "no" to a job you don't want. I've walked away from a few. Sometimes it's money, and sometimes it's just a bad smell.

I did get a decent offer once, declined, and later learned I dodged a bullet. Another time I was impatient and took an offer against my better judgement, and it turned out poorly.
I watched the video and just seeing a machine that old just plugged in without checking the board was triggering then the explosion of a cap for the views was obvious. Nice restoration overall but plugging it in to film a cap exploding is bad taste I think.
The correlation doesn't exist. A large segment of the Leetcode-uber-alles practitioners are also the ones that are obsessed with total compensation as the ultimate measure. It was a mistake by google and others to focus purely on this , but we are where we are. Many of the leetcode fanatics can't deal with real world issues in software or operations.
That comment is important context. If its true that this guy is being harassed by multiple groups for varied reasons that substantially muddies the supposed Norm connection.

The harasser's motives being as bullshit as they are varied seems likely, but it's odd for the article to lay it all at the feet of apparent Norm fans. Kind of like the article is using Norm's name to get clicks..
By "too much supply" I mean that once the chip shortage ended, they tried to take advantage of that and produced far too many 30-series cards. When the mining crash happened, they went surprised pikachu face because then they couldn't easily sell off the rest of their inventory.

The background of the game looks like northwestern France to me (what I would refer to as Brittany but I learned that from video games so idk if there's a more correct name). I'm assuming it's limited to birds there? I agree though if you are showing birds you should be super clear on the area since most people are most interested in learning birds they might see.

There's a reason the eBird quizzes let you specify a time and location (and a few other parameters). All that being said it's a super cool game and makes me want to take another birding trip!

Edit: just as an FYI for Americans using this: it doesn't look like it's using the names I'm familiar with always as an American (which I think are the ABA names). Americans will refer to these birds differently sometimes, the example I found was it mentioned a "common starling" but in the US I always see that bird called "European starling"

Yeah. It's easy to say you got it from some other open-source project that did their own clean-room reimplementation, unless there's clear evidence on your very own website that you looked at their proprietary code anyway, which would allow them to make the case that your knowledge was tainted and your implementation couldn't have possibly been clean-room.

You get what you train for. Useless AIs are misaligned AIs.

Divest from misaligned AIs:
1) Avoid using them.
2) Invest into aligned AIs.
Well maybe you shouldn't put too much weight on teachers or lectures in the first place.

Everything that is being taught is quite likely derived entirely from the textbooks in the syllabus. Lectures are also time limited, littered with people of varying experience asking questions during (if at all), while the person at the front of the class draws or recites with varying quality, worsened by accents, lack of coffee, or pure lack of interest, the person in behind the lectern might even die suddenly (in the middle of a sentence even, n=1 myself).

The textbook will probably be far more rigorous than lecture ever was anyway, and you can take whatever speed you want.

That formula worked for me for entirety of undergrad, and it was expected of me during my graduate studies. If I had better control of the internet or material on the internet was as good as they are today, I am certain any other student could do the same.
I'd like something like this with NFC support. I should be able to scan a tag, and the logs page for that tag just automatically pops up, and anyone else can also scan it and access the page, with full offline sync.

Accounts could just be tags too. Hit "Write user credentials to card", tap a blank card, hand it to someone.

Or you could do challenge response auth. Tapping the card gives you access to that note for some selectable time period, no accounts or settings, the tag is the note.

There was a WWII tank in a park I would spend time in as a child. It was alongside an ancient fire truck and a steam locomotive. There were all totally awesome until they got fenced off for some reason.

In both cases, the law enforcement on the scene are said to have believed that children were being actively harmed. In one case they went in guns blazing (and it went badly) and in the other case they stood around picking their noses waiting for somebody else to do something about it (and it went badly.)

Obviously there is no one correct answer for all situations.

Yes, I also don't see the charm. JS/TS are more expressive, you can have composition and modular code natively. Also JSX is 99% HTML.

With HTML first solutions, we sprinkle it with some # language which is neither simpler nor as expressive. It looks simple in toy examples, but for large projects you end up with worse structure.
> And now you have no ability to take those "rights" back using violence if you needed to.

This is repeated a lot and shows that at bottom, gun ownership ideologues are violent thugs, they all promote using violence to impose their political views dressed up as a fight for "rights".

Ultimately it proves that restrictive gun laws are absolutely correct.
I think you either have a great grocery store near you or you didn't notice. Flour, sugar, eggs, meat, snacks, just about everything has gone up by 50% or more. Food in most restaurants has gone up too. Go look at https://shadowstats.com if you want to see how the government cooks their inflation numbers.
Slight but perhaps significant correction, the 50 move rule only takes effect if no piece has been captured and no pawn moved. Online games can definitely be more than 50 moves.
I think underground systems and places are really cool. BUT, confined spaces are crazy dangerous. Be careful out there!
Nope, nope, nope! When you change DNS entries, they will take effect at some point in the future when the cache expires and when your app decides to reconnect. (Possibly after a restart) At that point, why not be sure and change the config?

I mean, DNS change can work, but when you're doing that one-in-years change, why risk the extra failure modes.
Exactly this. Focusing not just on what you write, but how you find what you wrote is very important.

I started using Org Roam a bit over half a year ago. My policy with deciding what to store in it is: "is there a chance I will want to remember this later?" If yes, I write it down, and link it to something relevant, which allows me to find it later from the backlinks on that relevant note. I thought I had pretty good memory (I still think it isn't bad for a normal human) but I have been surprised fairly often that some tidbit of information that I want is neatly available as an atomic note, and I don't even remember writing it.
I like the way Lua handles strings and numbers quite a bit. They're different types, but arithmetic will convert a string to a number when it can.

This is without footguns, because concatenation is a different operator entirely.

2 + "3" -- 5
2 .. "3" -- "23"

It's rather convenient, especially when you can combine it with LPeg to parse files with numbers in them, then do the maths directly.
I’m curious: what are some problems where awk was (presumably) a reasonable choice at first but then the implementation grew into a behemoth? Did the solution need to grow as the problem grew? Or was awk just the wrong choice from the beginning?
Mental gymnastics on point once again.

The entire purpose of the Second Amendment - at least in the United States - is to enable violent resistance against tyranny. Not hunting, not culling predators, not sport, not home defense.

> Ultimately it proves that restrictive gun laws are absolutely correct.

"We need to restrict something that prevents further restriction."

You need violence, firearms, and "violent thugs" to go around disarm people who possess them - this in Australia is the threat of prison time.

This seems to be the most important point:

> it looked at a game position, then used a strong chess-engine to expand a tree of possible game continuations from this position spanning hundreds of thousands if not millions of moves into the future. The game engine then used its internal knowledge of chess to assess the percentage of winning board positions within the possible continuations, which is the "probability of win" for a position. Then, the learner tried to learn this number. This is not learning from observations, it is learning from a super-human expert.

Apparently it was able to summarize the knowledge of that expert pretty well, though.
This is what I meant with timing: Germany's innovative younger people are held captive by a large conservative older generation that is pushing for security, which leads to overarching bureaucracy. This is especially bad in Germany because the government tries to regulate every tiny detail. Due to missing digitalization, they are failing on a grant scale.

On the other hand, this doesn't mean as you say that Germany has no potential to be an innovation hub. It just cannot use the potential currently. If you live here, you will see many good signs: Open source is strong. Chaos Computer Club mentality spreads and there is a fighting back against the government digital opression.
It seems more realistic.
