There's something to be said about Hacker News dialogue in the last few years. Where a large contingent of members discuss contraction opinions about a topic that either misunderstands or misinterprets the intent of the original message for the sake of engagement.
Sprinting is def harder than running for 2 hours. I used to run 5-12 miles (8-19 km) in a single session, every week. I still got winded doing sprints.

That's great for the actual meat and potatoes, but like half of the codebase will be tied to whatever UX libraries (MFC on windows / Cocoa in osx) that won't port over. So you will be rewriting most of it in java script anyway?

That argument feels a bit academic.
Well that's also a tokenizing system; the language can be expressed using 'sound' characters (hiragana, which work similarly to Korean as in, each character expresses a syllable) and there's a deeper 'layer' of tokenization in the form of kanji, one more complex character per noun (vaguely)

Probably not expressing this well but the concepts do seem similar to me
sure you do, it's a question of the cost.
isn't this because so many researchers invested their time in apple zero-days there was a flood of vulnerabilities, reducing their value? I always had the impression ios devices were the prime target.
But that's the thing, I am completely alienated from films already and watch maybe one a year or so when flying long distance. Whether it will be a mass transition, though, I agree that is hard to tell.
It's apparent that by good you mean skillful and not benevolent. However, even skillful programmers write bad code especially when under time and budget constraints.

> Nope, sorry. You said you have no idea of what understanding is, except that by definition it can only be done by humans.

He said understanding is what humans do, not that only humans can do it. Stop arguing against a strawman.

Nobody would define understanding as something only humans can do. But it makes sense to define understanding based on what humans do, since that is our main example of an intelligence. If you want to make another definition of understanding then you need to prove that such a definition doesn't include a lot of behaviors that fails to solve problems human understanding can solve, because then it isn't really the same level of as human understanding.

Many cases also involve leaping from a tall bridge which raises the odds somewhat of a fast and painless death.

My anecdotal experience of such events is two fold...
One time I actually considered doing this but when it came to it I realised that, no matter how hopeless my situation seemed at the time, I am an optimist at heart and jumping off a bridge isn't something I'm ever going to actually do.

Secondly, same bridge a few years later, I encountered someone contemplating a jump and tried to talk him out of it. Relating the above and pointing out that life had turned OK after all didn't do much to dissuade him. Convincing people not to do it is not as easy as one may imagine. I soon figured that everything I said was just making matters worse.

Anyway, thankfully, I manged to flag down a passing ambulance and they were able to handle the situation much more calmly, he didn't jump.

One of the paramedics told me not to be hard on myself for not coping so well, she said the ones who are going to jump just do it. The less committed are playing the idea through, like I was, and are hoping for some kind of intervention to help them out of their current mindset.
I think this person's role is directly comparable to the traditional "applications engineer" at chip companies who sell to electrical engineers.
It is really exactly like this where apps engineers are both technical support and marketing at the same time. Maybe less conference talks and more webinars.
It was wild to see. I was working down in the Monmouth, IL region for a few weeks this past spring. My wife in Saskatchewan would send me pictures when the smoke got bad. Two or three days later it would reliably roll through Monmouth.

I’m sure hoping it doesn’t happen again this year. While it was pretty bad down in IL when it would roll through, it was downright miserable back home in SK. Some days you’d wake up in the morning with this thick crust of gunk in your eyes and nose. Can’t have been good for health.
Considering the insane impact Altman's company had on the general global economy (S&P500, NVDA, AMD etc. performance being carried by the hype OpenAI created) I can see how he could justify these outlandish numbers.

So any day now it’s going to be the “Year of the PWA”?

And in that case it’s not just mean old Apple keeping PWAs down?

Also, casino style, pay to win games won’t leave the app stores - which make up 90% of App Store revenue - because of the direct access to users wallets. People are not going to randomly put their credit cards on every website and parents aren’t going to give their kids credit cards to put on those websites. The app stores give parents control of how much spending their kids do.
This means Reddit is selling the intellectual contribution of its users, on its face.

I use one PWA, and it's working pretty well. One of my banks has an app that is just a web view (listed on the Play Store), and it's a bit janky at times.
I don't believe that any of this is true. Building more housing does (provably) lower housing prices. And developed urban areas are more environmentally friendly than suburbs. People are going to live somewhere, and density actually has environmental benefits.

But what is "habitat control"? I've never heard of that.
Another thing just to mention here is `strip`, which IIRC `cargo build --release` doesn't do by default. I think `stripping` binaries can reduce binary size by up to 80-85% in some cases (but certainly not all; just tried it locally on a 1M rust binary and got 40% reduction).

FWIW, you can configure this in Cargo.toml:

[profile.release]
strip = true

For infinite probability spaces, likelihood has no interpretable meaning akin to probability in the case of finite spaces. This can be a source of confusion.

Generally, yes, as Intel is a US company.

That is of course assuming that the CCP didn't reverse engineer or crack it or hack NSA and also have access.

I think you will be better served by articles/blogs by the likes of librem and amnesty (I'm thinking of the group that found pegasus, I think it was some other human rights org from Canda?)/eff. Those guys will have better suggestions to harden your device. Also - ask your IT guy, or the IT guy of the US govt dept where you're working for their best practices.

Hacking risks can either be specific (eg Bezos being personally targeted) or a catch-all (eg stuxnet) where they target your entire department. If you're just one of hundreds of contractors you're likely in the second category which is relatively easier to protect yourself from.

Look beyond a five or ten year time horizon. More housing has been built continuously in the US for hundreds of years. Berkeley has existed for more than 150 yesrs. Did all of this building lower prices? No. It just encouraged people to have more children or to move into an area. Prices then move back up to the equilibrium point.
Google's implementation is nice, I agree, but I'm talking about richer APIs for PWAs, on parity with native apps.

I imagine Google could, now that Apple is being forced to allow multiple browsers, have a 'Chrome launcher' for PWAs on iOS. It can't put it on the home screen, but it could present itself as a 'Folder' of apps, that are all web based.
well it's a good thing I didn't say sprinting then isn't it?
I believe it may be the ghost touch issue like others mention, but with the addition that watchOS 10.3 dropped a week or two prior to these reports.

Possible it tried to do something about the ghost touch and made it worse in a subset of devices.

That feels more likely than a bunch of random people all being targeted with no other commonality like region or status
This is a good guide on building small Rust binaries: https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust

This talks about going to extreme lengths on making the smallest Rust binary possible, 400 bytes when it was written, https://darkcoding.net/software/a-very-small-rust-binary-ind...

The thing is, you lose a lot of nice features when you do this, like panic unwinding, debug symbols, stdlib… for kernel and some embedded development it’s definitely important, but for most use cases, does it matter?
Since figuring THAT out might require reading the whole disk and doing byte by byte comparisons (or a whole disk checksum), easier to just download the whole thing.

Unless they track literally every single DVD variant perfectly, which ain’t happening.

And that is ignoring that many disks are basically just a hardware license dongle, and don’t actually have a full playable version of the game.
I did it on a r6.24xlarge RDS instance and the CPU wasn't doing much during the operation. IO peaked at 40k IOPS on EBS with provisioned IOPS, I'm not sure if a local disk would be any faster but I already know that rewriting the table and creating the indexes are all single threaded so there isn't much you could gain.

Once I got the logical replication setup to work I changed 20 tables on the replica and made the switch with 15 minutes of downtime. That saved me a lot of long nights.

You can get an idea of how long this could take by running pg_repack, it's basically doing the same thing: Copying the data and recreating all the indexes.
If you are generally interested in how to write components that can be used by many frontend libraries (react/vue, etc), you should take a look at https://github.com/microsoft/fast. I was tangentially involved with porting an existing component library to it and the end result was pretty framework agnostic and well made.

You need to become familiar with ShadowDOM if you are not already.
HM Coastguard and the RNLI do different roles though - the former is more about co-ordination amongst different rescue agencies and the RNLI runs lifeboats.
> If you can make up correct sentences about cats and conduct a reasonable conversation about cats, it means that you understand cats.

No, plenty of humans can have reasonable conversations about things with zero understanding about them. We know they don't understand because when put in a situation in practice they fail to use the things they talked about. Understanding means you can apply what you know, not only talk about it.
The difference is that if the stock market dips, you still get paid a pension for the set amount of time (paid out of company profits if it has to). With a 401k, you can watch years of your retirement disappear.

The key thing he missed is not the change in attitudes, but the evolution in technology. He was assuming e-commerce must mean ordering cds in the mail, and reading e-books on low resolution CRTs.

I'm not a psychiatrist, but this bit stroke me as funny:

> Solving the problem of conditional self-worth is less complicated than you might think. You don’t have to go through regression therapy and get a better understanding of how your early-life caretakers gave you implied messages of contingent worth, neither do you have to sift through the wreckage of emotional or physical suffering you endured growing up.

> You simply need to recognize that you are worthy exactly as you.

How's that different from telling a depressed person to 'simply stop being sad', or a disabled person 'simply stand up and walk'? I'm sure the point of regression therapy is to get to that point, and this 'realization' is not a shortcut to it (caveat: I don't actually know what regression therapy is).
If anything, building more housing reduces slums.

Without expressing either I like the policy or not, it means they buying a house in those cities no longer means buying a house in a neighborhood with a certain feel.

Historically changes happened, but we're confined to what the zone allowed. You have a quiet street? Street remains quiet, as there is only so much house that can be built next door.

But with this the house next door can be torn down and a quadplex could be put in place.

That is an extremely risky thing that home buyers need to consider when they're paying extra just to be in a certain part of the city.
Woohoo! More apartments so we can expand the percentage of the population that can be permanently enslaved by rent! Yay! We’re doing it everyone!

I haven't spent much time on Reddit, but for me, Hacker News is close to USENET in terms of signal/noise. It doesn't have the subgroups covering every topic, but for what it does cover, it's a great source of interesting information with minimal noise. The karma system seems to help a lot in that respect.

It almost felt like we have a "good enough" solution for getting something running consistently across web browsers and mobile devices (when you absolutely don't have the resources for a separate mobile codebase or per-platform codebases), in a way where it could still be like an app that can be offered on the corresponding app stores.

The problem with Unix timestamps is that it doesn't take leap seconds into account, which makes it ambiguous during a leap second and makes it messy to compute the duration between two timestamps.

I think you're on the right track but a timestamp should only count the actual number of seconds that have passed, not some half-measure that tries to align with the rotation of the earth.

I am european, I live in Europe and I much prefer the EU approach to the US approach.

I still feel that the EU drags its feet on enforcing rules on large european companies, like the automakers, while moving slightly better on US companies. Yeah, they did eventually fine Volkswagen. After the US got the ball rolling, and it became impossible to sweep the whole thing under the rug.

Of course, the US does the same thing. The 737 MAX was grounded in Europe, while the US FAA dragged their feet until it really became obvious that it must be done.

The GDPR DMA DSA are really great. I'm not at all sure we would have them if the internet giants were european. How many laws requiring interoperability between car parts or industrial machine parts do we have?
