No, you linked a Japan-specific graph

That's called real information. You are throwing out nonsense with nothing to back it up.

"What did they have that the rest of the world didn't?"

And you thought that bowling and cassette tapes for some reason dropped fertility rates in japan.

Which is obviously a meaningless question without knowing what you're comparing to.

What comparison do you need and why didn't you do it yourself? Japan's fertility as a country started dropping in the 70s and continued on a steady decline. Why did that happen? Your answer? Bowling.
Where in the article does it say "the code in question ... is displayed on screen"?

I've read it a few times (half-heartedly) and then just to be sure (quite a few glasses of wine consumed already) I did a search for the word "screen" - nope, but not exactly conclusive.

There are several theories espoused but one comment is: "In a brief email conversation with Al Lowe ... he probably used the COMMAND.COM file as the basis for this code ..."

Your assertion about "reliable way of making basic sounds" is sort of true, if you ignore the shonky hardware that used to and get shipped as a "speaker". It's better nowadays and largely an anachronism. Back in the day you'd wedge a Soundblaster into an ISA slot along with some reasonable speakers or really good headphones and job done.

Your parent may be thinking of the silly games that used to be played with big old Winchester discs on big IDM gear and the like.
Just my take, but they've ensured the Switch and games I bought from them will be the last. I prefer to use my hardware keys and game carts on PC for higher resolution.
Making a new experimental jet design is great. It's the committing to buy and pay for thousands of them before you've even confirmed whether that design works that I object to.

Special thanks to spyrecovery36 @ gmail com for exposing my cheating husband. Right with me I got a lot of evidences and proofs that shows that my husband is a f** boy and as well a cheater ranging from his text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages, deleted messages and many more, All thanks to Support @: spyrecovery36 @ gmail com , if not for him I will never know what has been going on for a long time. Contact him now and thank me later. Stay safe.
Yeah, but when cases take years you can run into cash flow issues, even if you might ultimately prevail.
This person is simply misinformed. I worked at meta and used scuba, and it's like 6/10 (which makes it one of meta's best tools).

A tool like splunk can do everything scuba can do and a million things it can't. Sumologic can too.

The reason that splunk/sumologic are so much better than scuba is that they have open-ended query languages rather than this on-rails "only ever do one group-by". Just for example, if you wanted to dynamically extract a field at query-time based on the difference of two values and group by that, that's something you can do trivially in splunk/sumo.

I could write a whole essay on the topic really, but the gist of it is you need a full-scaled open-ended language for advanced querying because 1% of the time you need to do weird stuff like count-by -> a second count-by.

What I will agree with is that traces/metrics do not inherently give you this ability, but absolutely traces could if there was a platfom with a powerful enough query-language for it (e.g. give me all requests that go through 4 services, have errors on service 3 but not 4, and are associated with userId 123 on service 1)
Sad that this didn't generate any discussion! I found this on Lobsters the other day and thought it was brilliant.

It seems to me like their highly demanding domain pressures them towards needing an organisational style. I sometimes wish I worked in that kind of demanding environment.

It reminds me of Hamming's description of style in The Art of Doing Science and Engineering.
Downloading a file and putting in on a Steam Deck seems easier than working for ~3 hours then purchasing a Nintendo game.
I'm really at a loss on this news. All the employees at airlines in the US I know of have this drilled into them on a regular basis and it's just taken for granted that you report incidents when they happen (even when someone falls: report it!) and the incident will get investigated.

It just confounds me (but explains a lot) that the manufacturer of the aircraft the airlines operate does not share a similar safety culture given that they are in a similar ecosystem (airlines report issues to the manufacturer and the FAA/NTSB all the time)

Not everyone in the healthcare industry would lose their jobs, that's absurd. It would mostly be the redundant insurance staff (and redundant sets of highly-paid insurance execs).
I wouldn't mind that at all. If you don't still happen to have the address, the one in my profile here's good too.
Yes, but only a small subset of OSS projects reach the tipping point of having a large enough developer community with people willing to taking care of it. They are the most popular ones, so we tend to hear their names, as opposed to the other majority of projects which have users, but no devs that could take the lead.

But of course, OSS ought to be, as I mentioned, a contribution to the greater good. If there are enough people interested in keeping something alive, they should be allowed to do so.
Cars and trains serve complementary needs. They do not function as replacements for each other as is implicit in this comparison.

Trains tend to go to places of high population density. Their stops are at places where many other people want to go all the time. And their schedule to go to these places is not in the traveler's control. Cars go pretty much everywhere (or to a close enough point) and do it on your whim. But they are not fun to use in high population density areas (parking, traffic, etc).
> Fertility levels are in steep decline.

and IVF works. (yes, it's a bit more risky than the Nike method - just do it, yes, it's expensive, but having kids is a lot more expensive usually.)

the linked BBC article seems to contradict its title ("For the majority of men with fertility problems, the cause remains unexplained")

also, mixing up ability and willingness to have kids is just fucking revolting. of course a lot of people are don't have kids, because bad journalism takes away people's joy. well, also this little thing called ladder pulling, and the usual coordination problems (NIMBYs, etc)
Yes, if you want to do it legally.
Very interesting, I'm glad I asked.

Similarly, I read some head of a leading engineering organization (I think a NASA head or maybe Admiral Rickover) who said, essentially, 'you can't replace ability with process'. All the process in the world, they said, will not substitute for highly able personnel.

But perhaps safety, not usually dependent on ability, is a different matter. Possibly, the problems you describe are a matter of leadership and management - which doesn't undermine your point; those also are things that can't, past a certain irriducible point, be replaced with process.
This is the theory that people (on HN and elsewhere) have used to argue that Apple's App Store represents a monopoly that should be broken up. It makes no more sense here than it does in that context.
Altair actually does introspection when the data is passed as a dataframe (e.g. via pandas or polars). In these cases you can leave out the `:Q` and just write `x='abc'` and Altair will figure out that the encoding type shoudl be quantitative based on the column datatype in the dataframe.

If you are reading the data directly from a URL instead of via a dataframe, the URL is passed on to Vega-Lite and Python never sees the data, so no introspection can be made on the Altair side of things.

Not that there aren't plenty of good reasons to hate Nintendo, but you're mad at them because Walmart committed fraud selling you one of their products, and then you didn't look up what something they sell does before you bought it and you're made it didn't live up to your unfounded expectations?

It's not like you can't buy games online through the Switch store, and I'm sure Walmart would have sold you games. It's also not as if all Nintendo consoles used to come with free games and they stopped doing that. Maybe for a special edition version, but not as a default.

Whenever I see this kind of syllogism, I think it's fossil fuel propaganda. "Cars using electricity made by emitting CO2 cause CO2 to be emitted". Yeah, but that's not the car's fault, is it.

If you don't like your energy source, change your energy source. Don't give me this "washing machines emit more CO2 than handwashing" crap.
A "defensive play" would hardly involve investing in a technology with zero demonstrated value.

Sorry, this went right out of my head. You're right.

100 million users looked very low to me, but is basically a third of the US population.

I think my gut feeling is that a private network with that much of a reach is an issue in the first place, whatever positions we hold (just assume that network is eventually bought by your worse nightmare).

Social media as we know it not existing beyond that line doesn't sound outlandish to me (ideally it becomes the same as our real public spaces: they're so limited that nothing much happens on them except when the cops run in and loudly arrest streakers. Otherwise it just disappears).

The idealistic view is to let users decide, yet we're in a situation where there's nowhere left acting as a public space.

It seems like this comparison is car vs “train passenger.” Put 3 people in the car and they’re ahead.
There's something hilarious about your framing of "get too big to be shut down".

You actually said "if you get popular enough that the public will vote against people who threaten to enforce the law".

So someone builds a product that the public likes, something they demand that politicians allow, and somehow this is "too big to be shut down". Do you forget that modern democracies pretend that their authority derives from the will of the people?

The law is not sacred. Get off your high horse.
Replacing a whole engine at sea is something I wouldn't necessarily expect to be done often. Do they swap out wings while underway too? Having to stick a pile of spare engines in storage and replenish them when you dock doesn't seem like the worst limitation to have.

This is hardly surprising in a society that prefers to dole money to contractors rather than invest in any practical technology. What value has SpaceForce demonstrated to justify its investment? That's just graft.
Because Fortran was the industry standard for any heavy scientific calculation (like aerodynamics or nuclear bombs), the Fortran compiler has been optimised to death... And thus Fortran is still the industry standard.

A ton of people seem to think the DMCA is the end of Yuzu, but I believe it's actually its salvation, particularily Section 1201(f):

(1)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(1)(A), a person who has lawfully obtained the right to use a copy of a computer program may circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a particular portion of that program for the sole purpose of identifying and analyzing those elements of the program that are necessary to achieve interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, and that have not previously been readily available to the person engaging in the circumvention, to the extent any such acts of identification and analysis do not constitute infringement under this title.

(2)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a)(2) and (b), a person may develop and employ technological means to circumvent a technological measure, or to circumvent protection afforded by a technological measure, in order to enable the identification and analysis under paragraph (1), or for the purpose of enabling interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, if such means are necessary to achieve such interoperability, to the extent that doing so does not constitute infringement under this title.

(3)The information acquired through the acts permitted under paragraph (1), and the means permitted under paragraph (2), may be made available to others if the person referred to in paragraph (1) or (2), as the case may be, provides such information or means solely for the purpose of enabling interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, and to the extent that doing so does not constitute infringement under this title or violate applicable law other than this section.

"Independently-created computer program" in this case being Yuzu, "other programs" being Switch games.
Hang on, you don't need infinite money if you've got a sampling rate, do you? Drop the sampling rate (mentioned in the article: they do use sampling) from 0.01 to 0.001 and you've reduced the data ingress by a factor of ten.

Most of my emulator use hasn't been piracy.

And the weak chipset on the switch is a big reason to want to use emulators without piracy.

And there's modding too.

Your "whole point" is very far from whole.
But necessary to feed more people.
I disagree. To me it's edgy and depressing. So it's pretty subjective.
It's the same in San Francisco, where we support returns to investors in residential real estate by banning new development since the 1960s and therefore doctor salaries don't afford a luxury lifestyle [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/business/economy/high-end...] and therefore we have a shortage of physicians.

This is unfortunate. The switch is probably coming to the end of its life soon. As soon as Nintendos next gen (announced or not) console is released, the switch will be a legacy system and emulation is important for archiving purposes.

This does make it less likely that i'll be buying any Nintendo products in the future.
That's not true in all models. For example in the (execrable) `statsd` model there is a bit of information sent every time a metric changes.
This is what Musk haters have to tell themselves I guess. Of course Shotwell was the sales person during the Falcon 1 days and only later took over more of a leadership roll.

And even if she is 'the genius' then Musk is the guy who recruited her, promoted her multiple times and put her in the position she is in now.

But its also just the reality that Shotwell job is made 10x easier because she has a reusable rocket to build, sell and launch, while the others do not.

Shotwell is awesome, no question. But the Musk hater story line of 'she is the real hero while Musk hits himself in the head with a hammer' is just nonsense.

SpaceX has many super smart super talented people, and of course in any company the leader can only do so much, by definition most of the work is not done by the leaders, Musk or Shotwell.

But on the other hand we also no that leadership is incredibly important. And there is no question who is leading and has lead SpaceX since Day 1.
Understanding Aerodynamics: Arguing from the Real Physics by Doug McLean, a former aerodynamics Technical Fellow at Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
Your math is wrong - it's $4B ÷ 815k residents ÷ $27k = 0.18 used Tesla Model 3s per resident. (you accidentally used 27k as both the price and the population)
Neither trains nor cars emit CO2. Electricity generation emits CO2. Trains and cars are completely irrelevant, and conveniently shift the debate away from "our power generation still emits CO2".
Yup. The big one to me being capping malpractice payouts. "Healthcare costs a lot because physicians have to carry very expensive malpractice insurance because of astronomical judgments".

Texas caps malpractice payments and everything stays exactly the same.

Also, malpractice insurance in itself isn't typically as onerous as people believe it to be. What is onerous, and what that industry does differently to most other insurance segments is "tail insurance".

Tail insurance is the concept that major malpractice suits may appear well after your claims-made liability policy has ended. In most cases it's actually DOUBLE the premium you're paying for malpractice insurance, implying the insurer believes that your coverage is less than one-third of the claims they expect to pay. What -should- happen is that you carry "claims-made and prior acts" coverage. The challenge there is that in many cases your employer will cover claims-made as part of your compensation or part of their insurance, but don't elect prior acts coverage (and because of the way they do it, I suspect it's not as simple as "let me pay the difference").

But in general capping malpractice payouts has done nothing to offset malpractice coverage costs, let alone flow-through to end consumer costs.
This is essentially Amazon Coral’s service log format except service logs include cumulative metrics between log events. This surfaces in cloudwatch logs as metrics extraction and Logs Insights as structured log queries. The meta scuba is like a janky imitation of that tool chain

People point to Splunk and ELK but they fail to realize that inverted index based solutions algorithmically can’t scale to arbitrary sizes. I would rather point people to Grafana Loki and CloudWatch Logs Insights and the compromises they entail as not just the right model for “wide events” or structured logging based events and metrics. Their architectures allow you to scale at low costs to PB or even exabyte scale monitoring.
"Liberalism" can be imprecise but the author is clearly using the definition that includes any sub-ideology that mostly follows the principles of the Age of Enlightenment and any country with a liberal democracy, not only laissez-faire economics.

So the governing ideology in the Western world and a large share of the rest, plus what a large share of the rest pays fig leaf to except for countries like Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and China which openly declare another ideology.

I don't think this is particularly unusual. What would be stereotypically American would be associating "liberalism" with only what the Democratic party preaches.

> An awful lot of Germans in other parts of the world supported the Nazis without needing special encouragement.

In Europe I think there was quite a bit of cross border organizing. But did the German Americans on the other side of the world ever do that to a significant level.

> > The liberal principle of sovereign national borders is at stake, as is the liberal belief that nationhood and citizenship matter more than race.

> Again, this doesn't sound like liberalism, but rather the idea of the State that originated with the Treaty of Westphalia.

I'm not sure, but the important part here is the second one. Civic nationalism ("the liberal belief that nationhood and citizenship matter more than race") is an aspect of liberalism and it goes against the sort of ethnic based national loyalty across sovereign state borders that China is supporting.

It does feel a bit End of History, but what is not true for a different liberal context?
Smells like both. Trump made a bad deal, perhaps knowing he was able to leave a poisoned chalice behind. Once Biden came in, he should have reviewed it thoroughly and not gone along with it.

That's lie rewriting a code base from scratch because the current is deemed unmaintainable. Most of the time you end up with the same number, but different problems or it's even worse.

In my view Medicare for all would be a viable path but even the Democrats are not interested in tackling healthcare.
Why time seems to go by more quickly as we get older (2016)
Of course not, because finding a more efficient way to meet the needs which require an expenditure of money does not make that expenditure a good investment by the typical usage of that phrase. Same is true in used cars vs new cars and owner-occupied housing vs rented housing.
re: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39522249
I feel like it would be a lot more straightforward if people just came out and said that they think piracy should be legal.

Currently we have this weird mealy-mouthed roundabout discussions where people act ever so outraged at the idea that a tool or site is primarily used for piracy when anyone who's not hopelessly naïve recognizes that that's in fact what they're used for.

At best we get comments like yours that are anti-DRM...but still dance around the fact that being anti-DRM is being pro-piracy.

This isn't even about whether I support piracy. I just think it's oddly disingenuous to both treat piracy as a moral/legal wrong (else why the need to defend/excuse Yuzu's clear involvement?) and be shocked and outraged when an entity whose works have been pirated does something about it.
It would be amazing if Valve stepped up with legal funds/protection there. They do get money from people buying SteamDecks for emulation and well... free publicity if they take on Nintendo.
