I still believe treatment centers would be preferable, I just dont think its reasonable to expect that to happen. Requiring sobriety tests helps, I would suppose, the people that are actually interested in getting better, though many homeless allegedly avoid shelters because of the requirements.

I can speculate on a few things that would reduce the rate of homelessness, economy, civil society, religion, but incarceration (where treatment is refused) seems like the only way to stop the cities from bleeding; open air drug use wouldnt be tolerated on private property (and where it is, fine, be my guest, I smoke, at home), it shouldnt be tolerated on public property either, dont be a menace.
Yes, you added fake testimonials. I don't understand how this isn't manipulative if I'm not paying attention. It was a real turn off.
The theoretical halting problem is required to return a yes/no answer, whereas in the real world, it's actually really valuable to get back a "maybe doesn't halt" answer, so you can then more specifically iterate on those "here be dragons" areas of your system.
Vast majority of Agatha Christie mysteries (in book form) can be solved by clues up to the big reveal at the end.

She is the master of whoddunit for a good reason. Sometimes she wrote the clues in after the story was written, but the clues are there. Murder of Roger Akroyd is probably the canonical example of this when you go back and reread it.

PS I am excluding some of her adventure and later novels from this as indeed her late stage work suffered from her diminished abilities.
Nope, hype is everywhere in 2024
Not that sophisticated. The tech industry in particular celebrates rentierism and middle men while calling it a "service".

Any other way to describe darlings like Uber, AirBNB, what Amazon became, many SaaS (looking at you MSFT Office) is simply disingenuous

This is one which was fantastic but yet was hard to solve before the end. Yet the clues were there.
I don't see any mention that this was an issue in this case; from what I read, the cast and crew were committed to doing season 2.
Yeah, this is a good point. They were able to get enough VC money, for long enough, to actually affect the existing monopoly (taxi industry) in many countries.

That being said, I wonder how much money the founders spent on private security for themselves meanwhile?

Unions (including taxi unions) are known to play funny buggers in the real world against those they perceive as threats.
There's some discussion about whether it has become abandonware though. Kai hasn't said anything since 3.0 dropped.
These are good performance improvements, but they clearly come at a cost. Race cars are faster than sedans, but the tires fall off and they explode without a team of engineers supporting them.

The best people I can hire can mostly use a computer. They can’t build something like this, or even build upon it. They need recipes to reuse to accomplish tasks, and the more something is custom, the harder it is to teach.

And product only cares about performance when a customer mentions it, which is almost never.

I long to spend time tuning race cars, but mostly I assemble sedans.
One thing to keep in mind is there's three layers of optimisation:

1. The problem,
2. The algorithms,
3. Micro-optimisation.

The potential gains shrink rapidly as you descend this list. A lot of people start thinking at level 3 straight away, but this is pointless if you've left performance on the table at the higher levels. For example, no amount of clever bit twiddling will compensate for the wrong algorithm, and even the best algorithm is pointless if you're solving the wrong problem.

If you believe that “my children are starving therefore I steal” is different from “I steal and my children are starving” then you have an opinion about the direction in which time flows. It is not a given for all people that perception of time is the same in this way.

You mean in the old music boxes?

It was done by hand. The first ones used wood and nails. This one here was supposedly made by school kids: https://youtu.be/i63t7ekNFoY?feature=shared&t=547

Later there are metal cylinders which little teeth that are placed in holes that are drilled by hand. Here's a CNC doing the work, can't find a video of someone doing it, though: https://youtu.be/RXf924CGLbs?feature=shared&t=147

And also of course player pianos and punched-card music boxes, which are a different thing and much cheaper to mass produce: https://youtu.be/XGo0seI6sYs?feature=shared&t=167

There were also some "hammered" cylinders in-between, which are a bit closer to player pianos, and much faster to produce, since one could just use some template: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeApD2-y4i4

The last one shows the foundation for those cheap music boxes you can get as souvenirs. They are often just a pressed sheet of metal rolled into a cylinder. In this video here you can see the "seam": https://youtu.be/IYpnzSJGE-c?feature=shared&t=12

I'm sure there were other techniques along the way too.
Yes, but that was originally written to punish evidence tampering. The Jan 6th trials were the first time it was applied to protests, and that use is so novel that the Supreme Court has agreed to review it.[1]

And the "corruptly" term was effectively eliminated by UNITED STATES v. ROBERTSON (2023)[2], when the appeals court ruled that it means simply “acting ‘with consciousness of wrongdoing.’” (mens rea) and with “independently unlawful means or purpose”.

Almost all disruptive protests involve some minor "independently unlawful means" (such as jaywalking, trespassing, disorderly conduct, or failure to comply with a police officer), so they fit that definition.

The court's example to illustrate the meaning of the term was: "a witness in a court proceeding may refuse to testify by invoking his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination, thereby obstructing or impeding the proceeding, but he does not act corruptly".

The court actually said that taking the fifth is obstructing an official proceeding (but not corruptly).

Imagine how little it takes to commit a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison now. Have you seen the movie "The Trial of the Chicago 7"? If that happened today, not only could they be convicted of "corruptly" disrupting an official proceeding for the protests, they could be convicted for their behavior during the trial. (In the latter case, the independently unlawful means would be behavior that was in contempt of court)

PS: I should add that the 20 years comes from a different law with the same phrasing, 18 U.S. Code § 1512 - Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant, section (c)(2). The existence of two laws with the same phrasing, both for specific crimes (evidence tampering and witness tampering), makes it clear that the legislature didn't intend for these laws to apply broadly.

> Not in the context of game development, however! There you typically don't care about wall time. Instead, you work towards a set frame rate meaning you have a set slice of time (usually 16.7 or 33.3 ms) to go through the entire game and render loop each time.

I was about to bring a similar example: Some of our really old daily data processing at work might need some attention and optimization in the future, because we're running out of hours in the day. And we haven't found a place we can buy more hours in the day from yet.
Does it? My impression is that going paperless actually made doctors stop doing medicine and start spending 90% of visit time doing bullshit e-paperwork.

(Yes, I know it's not bullshit - it's so that right insurers get billed. The most important part of medical art.)
I don't see how it would be a contradiction in terms; we can easily speak of the possibility of an infinite amount of time in the future, why not also in the past?

(It may be factually wrong, but that's not a contradiction in terms).
By "Remote Europe" do you mean the candidate must reside in Europe or do you mean anywhere in the world with a overlap with CET?
My point is that what you describe will be detected even before the commit reaches the master repo with the culprit fired as long as you have sensible processes.

That's why I don't think commit signing adds anything within organisations. It might be a bit different with public open source repos on services like Github though I don't know how how to verify signatures...

Expanding your code:

for(i=0; i < SomethingBig; i++) { //do something with at speed of tick of i }

or

for(i=0; i < SomethingBig; i++) {
for(j=0; j < SomethingBig1; j++) {
//do all of tick of j repeatedly, at the tick of i}
}

Generally, prepend 2 or 4 spaces in line codes for proper formatting. Also, * is used to start emphasis, so you need to escape it with a backslash.

I believe that would be after you've run off a cliff but before gravity has noticed.
I don't think it suggested leaving places empty for a year. Rather they wanted to spread out lease renewals. If everybody's lease ends in September then your property is competing with a lot of others. Whereas if you keep it empty until February then offer a 12 month lease, your renter will have much fewer choices and is more likely to stay (despite your demand of a high rent increase).

Being an expert certainly makes you a better auditor, but it's not any more necessary than making police officers have law degrees.

Software development has a frustrating history of reappropriating words from other contexts. Your "code auditor" is probably more akin to an OSHA compliance officer/safety inspector. Again, experience helps, but you don't need to be the architect of the Pyramids to ensure everyone onsite is wearing a helmet.

They make a good-faith effort to ensure some checklist of conditions are met.
Embarrassing west fails to protect the data of such people.

I know plenty of self-loathing and nihilistic individuals and if they made music it would probably reflect that attitude. Therefore I'd be interested to learn why you think it's the "industry speaking" here instead of, let's say, sappy songs.

Embarrassing that the west failed to protect Gonzalo Lira from a similar fate in Ukraine.

It's more embarrassing to become like Russia than to not be able to stop them.

Really depends what you are doing. But something something loops is a good start; be weary of loops, especially nested ones, loops that call functions with other loops, loops that create variables/structures and, indeed, loops that do RPC/any type of networking.
The US government as a whole already spends more on health care than it does on defense.

2022: 944 billion (Medicare), 805 billion (Medicaid). [1] We could add the VA health care system (approx 100 billion), CHIP (few tens of billions), ACA subsidies (tens of billions), other publicly owned medical services (???), and probably some more things we're forgetting.

753 billion requested by the WH in defense spending. [2] This probably does not encompass all defense spending period, but there's nothing else going to add many 100s of billions to even come close to the health care figure.

The problem with the US medical system isn't that not enough dollars are being allocated to it. The US government as a whole (state and federal) is already spending as much per capita as many European countries. We just don't get as much for it. I think it's fair to say as you did that entire sectors of the US economy are being crippled by ineptitude, which I would say is institutional rather than personal. The problem is systemic and it's hard to see how it could ever be practically fixed.

Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python
Hi HN, I've been taking a break from my big side projects to work on a smaller side project - a tiny build system that's based on what I've learned from using Ninja and ad-hoc Python for my homebrew build systems over the last few years.

It's basically a promise-based dependency graph runner plus a simple text templating engine, and it works quite well for the smallish projects I've tried it out on so far.

If you find Make crufty, CMake inconsistent, Ninja verbose, and Bazel just too much build system, give Hancho a try.

Don't like one of Hancho's defaults? It's only 500 lines - hack it up however you like.

Not even security theatre, but maybe just mere nationalism/jingoism - countries create border controls to create a clearer "us vs them" mentality
Yes, it's very reductive; anything beyond that requires more specific domain knowledge.
When a user installs an app that platform can then summon that user on demand. That gives you something like 1000x as much user retention and 'callbackability' as a passive 'location' that the user has to consciously visit.

The difference being that they convinced doctors to hand this stuff out like candy. It was all legal. Which is why it got that bad in the first place.
Didn't find a timeseries for the percentage of smokers, which is suspicious, so I guess nobody can say what role tobacco control did play. The percentage of smokers in the group of 14-17 year olds in Germany has doubled from 2021 to 2022, despite all the pervert laws.

Edit: Btw, I did pick up smoking when I was 14. Abandoned it half a year later. The development of kids to adults needs exploration. If you steal that, you steal childhood. And, as history from the seventies to nowadays proves, if you begin to regulate something that might seem necessary, there will rise assholes that regulate way too much.

Because it’s the right thing to do?

When people are being assassinated in beach towns in Spain, society should do something. The people being assassinated, according to the article, are Russians who decided they don’t support Russia. “Running from the problems of their own country” is a time honored tradition of “The West”, according to every American elementary school curriculum explaining the founding of America.

The west claims to be enlightened lands of the free, so people who are part of the west, should be open to sharing that freedom with those who seek it, and protect them from those who seek to shut out freedom.
The C++ requirement seems to place this dead in the water. In 2024 there is no shortage of better runtimes.
What about drugs that can have harmful interactions with a person's other health conditions or other drugs that they are taking? A big part of the role doctors and pharmacists in the prescribing process is to guard against this. Are ordinary, non-medically qualified people really supposed to navigate this on their own?
One thing we absolutely should not do, is evaluating history based in modern day morals. Gets you nowhere, even worse it carrys the risk of rewriting history. The moral standard to measure historical actions against are contemporary (the standards, not contemporary opinions as those are basically just propaganda in a lot of cases).
By the time the lawsuit against standard oil had concluded, they had lost market share, because price fixing doesnt work in real life, as more than a few industrialists have had to learn the hard way. Rents and mortgages are too high, but you are looking in the wrong place thinking housing costs are high due to price fixing.
There's a gradient. There's definitely a number of things that are prescription only for... unknown reasons. My low dose statin requires a prescription, even though I can get roughly 4 months worth of it at a time. Even its side effects are not extreme. But it forces me to interact with my doctor occasionally just to get a repeat.
Wow, even for a Kirk McDonald "pedagogic diversion", there is a lot in footnote 4.

There are scattered typos, but it's an excellent annotated bibliography. I was unaware of some of the 21st century papers it lists.

A small thing, and it could just be me. I'm not sure where McDonald is going with respect to his point in footnote 7 about his reference [54] (Einstein 1911, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/andp.1911340... (German), https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol3-trans/393 (English)) and unfortunately his ...kirkmcd.princeton.edu/examples/GR/... links all want passwords. It's obvious that the footnote is about §2 of [54], but to me it does not really engage with the \gamma m in the text referring to footnote 7 (or indeed the content of your own comment's parent comment). Instead the (spring-balance-indicated, i.e. "contact"[1]) change of weight when light is beamed from one weighed system to another is diagnostic, with the focus of thought being on how that beamed light is adapted when acceleration or gravitation is relevant. This is further developed into gravitational redshift in [54]§3 (which, frankly, is an amazing bit of Einstein's early thinking). So I don't see how footnote 7 fits the perihelion precession topic, where the (rest) masses are defined as constant and radiation pressure is ignored.

Well traffic deaths per capita are about double in the US so that probably carries over to other insurance-triggering incidents.
> I'm saying that rationing is inevitable and our thinking about health care systems needs to account for that.

I understand there are utopian arguments for healthcare, but where is the demand to respond to them?

I am in no way condemning the individual response to this I'm just earnestly curious where this impulse comes from.

I'd love to see a demo of how it might look used in practise, with multiple fonts used to display semantic meaning on a page of code. I see on the website they have a demo where you can switch between them (https://monaspace.githubnext.com/#learn-more) but it's not easy to imagine how it would look with them mixed on the same page.

There is one in the "what if" section that is close but as this is the main use id really want to get an understanding of this, it seems like the critical part
Exactly, that is what I meant. The OP seemingly uses IP whois to identify meta (it is from a mastodon blocker). The condensed list removes subdomains to make it worse.
I disagree. The landscape has significantly evolved into incremental compilation techniques in the past decade. While theoretical developments are mostly confined into parsers, practical implementations do it across the entire pipeline, all the way to whole-program optimizations and code generation.
You gotta question if that person, despite doing something “honorable” would be someone you want in your country. Much easier to find a local who can do it for patriotism.

Also there’s a delicate political balance to not openly trying to kill heads of state. If we lose that balance, we might remember how good the Russians are at that game.

As an American, I’d definitely prefer we NOT spend tax money in this way. We don’t need more direct conflict, nor do we need to enable a new generation of war where heads of state are the target.
