How "new type" helps avoid production outages
I think most people live longer than 30 years and you will be still dependant on the manufacturer who can also go out of buisness.
article from 2021. I suppose it is still relevant but could get some date in the title.
> Your response neglects simple facts. You are missing that certain vocations are not as popular to women as they are to men.

Would need to be a ~3.3σ difference to justify the claim for Boeing. That's not so much "neglecting simple facts" as it is "ignoring irrelevant ones".

Boeing has 145,000 employees, the USA has 331.9 million people.

You need to be better than this.
Great content from Jeff Dean slides. Since they are dating from 2009, I wonder what are the things he had changed his mind of.
There isn't really a dependency there. You can scan for a bunch of delimiters and save a bunch of row start and end positions and process the rows from there.

If (unlike the solutions that won this challenge) you would like to use a hash that consumes all the bytes in the input, then scanning for all the delimiters and bucketizing strings by length also lets you avoid branch mispredictions caused by random lengths.
I see. Thank you for the detailed comment.

Let's say I accept your phrasing and naming of the problem & solution.

Given that one big consequence of managed housing economics is depressed profits, how can "free market" supply increases lower housing costs? Won't profits suffer then? Reducing incentives to build?

As I see it, and said in the original comment, for supply to increase, price cannot decrease. It can only increase for building to be more enticing than with rent stabilization/control.

Not sure how this is beneficial to future generations.
Seems like it is time for Tonga to ban Namecheap...
Ah, good idea!
I will do, thanks :-)
> How do you do that without replacing the hardware?

As I said earlier—

If you want to make an argument for requiring Apple (et al) to provide straightforward mechanisms for rejecting the supplied software and installing alternative operating systems (e.g. Asahi Linux) then I'll support it to the ends of the earth. I'd be your most vocal supporter. I'd be delighted if this was a legal requirement of all computer hardware, from mainframes to microwaves.

> I wish for a world without intellectual propery.

Cool, but appreciate that this places you in an extreme minority position, and one which destroys your own argument. Without copyright, you don't get to assert any implied rights which normally come from "buying" software. Without copyright, you received nothing of value from Apple except the hardware. If Apple don't own the software that's on YOUR device, they cannot be held responsible for what it does.
Somehow, despite being an alt-rock fan since my early teens, PJ Harvey had completely passed me by in all but name.

Due to your link I'm now listening to the Dry album from start to finish and really enjoying it.

So thanks friend for brightening my Sunday morning!
Thanks! Earlier in the project I tried to find a way to generate English but with Chinese grammar - something like “you need to grab your shoelaces and tie them well” - as a way to help memorize grammatical structures. But I didn’t get very far with that. For one reason, I couldn’t coax an LLM to output such unnatural English (!)

So in the end I decided that I can ask GPT-4 to explain alternative structures based on the translation I get

Ideally, I would like to find a reliable way to directly transform my first attempt at an expression into a native-level expression, without necessary routing via English. It didn’t seem doable with the LLMs I tried so far, but there are others I can try, and maybe some training would help too - as you say

Same for Finland... Takes me 5 minutes to go and add deduction for using home office and half of the internet bill. And any peripherals I got for work...

And if I didn't have any of those, well I wouldn't even need to touch whole thing.
These techniques are mostly not that useful because you can just use much bigger registers.
The main memory one stays 100ns for every year?
But for supply to expand, prices must go up, right? They can't go down.

That is what I'm trying to understand, since a lot of people here imply that "increase in supply will lower prices".
For the same reason HTTP has a near-monopoly on websites. There is a network effect with protocols and file formats. The success of github cemented these formats of git as the winners. Even so, why aren't other VCS at least somewhat popular? Because they refused to invest into supporting the git protocol and file formats.

That's not what's actually happening.

In Sweden, a first-hand rental agreement is effectively for life ... actually, even longer as the tenancy be inherited by your spouse and children. The regional rent tribunal can and do override a landlord's decision to terminate the lease.

John Oliver is funny until he covers a segment that you have spent a lot of personal time researching then it becomes shocking when you realize that he selectively edits things to craft a certain narrative in the viewers mind. I also saw this with Trevor Noah when Bernie Sanders was running. I was a volunteer tasked with digging up lots of old videos of him for promotional material and I was shocked to see some of the videos I found aired on the Daily Show but deceptively cut to make him look like a grumpy mean old man when if you watched the whole clip it would show the opposite.
This. Proprietary software tends to be very inflexible, often low quality, and difficult to integrate. Fighting with these often causes more work than just doing from scratch or adapting open source code.

Thanks. Your UI is much better than the one on the site.
There are two problems there:

1. The vertical text is difficult to read despite its size, because it's vertical.

2. When we click on it a large part of the text disappears below the bottom margin of the page.

Problem number 1 is not so bad but the combination with 2 kills the UX. The text in the clicked bar should appear somewhere on screen, horizontally.

Edit: if anybody like me wonders what's Zippy its a C++ compression library from Google. It's called Snappy now [1]

From reading the above, if you have a folder 'dir' and a file 'dir/file', after renaming 'dir' to 'folder', you would just have 'folder' and 'dir/file'.
I think the key bit of the article is barely mentioned, and that is the office building being turned into condos. I've never found these downtown areas very interesting because everything closes after lunch. Actually getting people to live in these downtown neighbourhoods will also make them much more alive and vibrant just like your neighborhood further out. Yes, there will be a painful transition, but mixed use neighbourhoods will be much nicer long term. It may even get people back to the office if they can live near work. One of the reasons to work from home is simply to avoid the commute.
I don’t know.

But being a monopoly doesn’t mean others can’t use other clients. I was using a Subversion repository in university but really I was just using Git and git-svn (probably). One can do the same today.

So, besides the obvious drawback of having to know two VCS, why does it seem that not many people are doing this? Because I don’t hear that much about it.
Fair. Seems like that's the root of disagreement.

If they can't do their job without Twitter, then I can agree with the rest of what you said.

Sadly, the entire Congress is so dysfunctional that it's very hard to determine whether the staffers do or don't do a good job (and which of these possibilities is a better one).

That's the part which the UK student doesn't seem to get (and which makes me feel the savant label is fitting): knowing all the rules doesn't matter when playing by the rules isn't a goal.

Same goes for having the power which they never intended to use in the first place, because the unwritten rules matter more.

The whole thing about rules is that without a central enforcement mechanism, it's all about whether you have enough clout and chutzpah to use or break a certain rule. Just because a rule exists (and has been enacted before), doesn't mean invoking it isn't free.

It's just cheaper than doing the same thing against the rules.
Surely this cannot be the only rare occurrence a pilot is feeling sleepy in what seems like a dull environment. White noise, little change in the view outside, awkward wake-up hours, no one to talk to, etc.

So how is that supposed to work? I feel sleepy in my standard office work at times. But me falling asleep is not gonna kill hundreds of people.

How come it all works without ideas like dead man's switch from the trains?
Over-consumption is a one-way implication with unbounded desire, not a two-way implication.

We're fed to the point we have obesity, but most of us still stop eating at a certain point.

We're oversupplied with material goods to the point that storage lockers for excess stuff is a big industry, but most of us don't hoard to that degree, and it's weird when we see people who do.

We're oversupplied with light to the point that we've got to remind ourselves to turn them down at night, but we do turn them off.

We do reach saturation points with these things, despite over-consumption.
> You now, the lazy rethoric trick of providing a technically correct answer, what Boeing did, while still lying through obmission of the general point.

Sounds exactly like MCAS.. That omission. I thought that was just to preserve the same type certificate without retraining but it seems like a more systemic problem then.
Well when you have an ideology which states that males are women when they declare some unprovable inner 'female gender identity' to the world, then this is the consequence of introducing that ideological belief into law.
That's only if your defense strategy is to lie in court. But once you're caught, and there is evidence, you're best strategy is to admit your guilt.

Or if you really think you can lie your way to acquittal, then you can successfully convince your lawyer of your lie. If your lawyer can see through your bullshit as easily as the examples he gives, you're not going to fool the court.
> I can take a website seriously if they don't bother to remove placeholder text from their 'About Us'

That's the flip side of academic freedom. Once you trust a group of people with self-governance, they would invariably use it to enrich the insiders at the expense of outsiders. Just look up how a Greek democratic poleis worked.

That's probably a compromise you would willing to make for a many centuries out, internationally ranked universities. But petty colleges should be ran more like service sector.

Having said that, it's quite possible that a single mother of two, working in service sector, is simply untenable without extra help coming from the outside.

Working from home temporarily delays the “I can’t afford to eat out for lunch anymore” reckoning that was coming due for employers from wage stagnation — but not for the businesses that served those workers meals they can less afford each year.
Sure, but Joplon above version 2.5 wont read those data.
It's very surprising to me that a main memory reference takes longer than sending 1K over a gigabit network.
I suspect it's less about the music and more about the finger tracking, but to the extent it's about the music - billions of people have smartphones with cameras that would work with this code, but would unlikely be able to afford piano lessons or convince / inspire anyone to offer to purchase them an instrument without first demonstrating aptitude in some area. Definitely not intended at a dig at you and hope you manage to hook Mayuresh up with a keyboard instrument and a job!
It's a remix of something from quite a long time ago by the same name. There's another comment in here somewhere that links to the full lineage.
Agree.

With shows like this, people have a case of Gell-Mann amnesia too.

I think Oliver is funny. His show makes good points and gives good arguments. It should not, however, by itself be the sole basis of one’s opinion on any given topic (not many things should) as many take it to be. It is intelligent and honest but also one-sided and biased.

They are, at least, not generally purposefully misleading in service of their bias, which is why I think people trust them more than a lot of other sources like cable news.
Add some padding to bottom and use horizontal texts for "compressed" columns.

Because they're comparing two different things. The main memory reference is latency, the 1K is a throughput measurement.

In other words they're not saying "if you send only 1K of data it will take this long". They're saying "if you send 1 GB, then the total time divided by 1 million is this much".
But what about the case of single-entity repos?

I wish good luck to the new union. I really do. At the same time, I fear for the outcome of this action: having worked for years in the game industry, game QA is one the game industry's jobs with lowest entry barrier, employing the least paid and qualified professionals. I know a lot of great and hard-working people doing game QA, but they are among the easiest to replace and outsource. This actually explains why they would want to create a union, and we will all now see what happens.
We live in a timeline where a comedian will actually point to more facts than, say, a "serious" anchor like Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson, who will just blatantly make stuff up. "I am just asking questions".
1. I didn't expect people to have such a negative reaction to sideways text. It doesn't bother me personally, but it seems some people really can't work with it. I'll likely avoid it in everything else I do going forward.

2. I feel a big part of the problem here is that it's not obvious how to get it back once it's gone. I could certainly try making the text visible after the bar is gone.

This is now very off-topic to Ice Age Queens ... but yes PJ Harvey has some great tracks - one of my favourites is from the album '4 Track Demos', called 'M-Bike' that's about a motorbike as the focus of hatred of a boyfriend (I guess). It's great.
Sorry, yes, I meant disk I/O, I should have clarified.
I made a general comment about the format and then all of the people who remove any nuance (i.e. can't distinguish between a criticism of the format and a criticism of the story) started posting replies defending the story even though the possibility of the story being accurate was explicitly admitted in the original comment.
Something like 99.99% of our own galaxy has no idea humans exist. Our radio signals haven't had time to reach that far. There's actually an interesting hypothesis that as a civilization progresses it is only radio emissions noisy for a brief period of time before technology advances and the radio signals effectively stop much like we see with our development here on Earth.

All that to say, no. Even if they were listening they'd not know we were here to begin with, at least yet.
> However, ASCII is not a random ancient word, it’s a ratified standard

Even so, ask around and you'll find debates about which ASCII standard is the "right" and "true" one. Some argue only the initial standard is correct for ASCII art, you need to follow that, others say any of the versions are alright.

It's still ambiguous.

This is the best explanation so far. If you want to store value in non-inflationary asset you can purchase gold. But there is no guarantee that the value of gold against the fruit of other people’s labor will remain constant or increase over time. It doesn’t matter that the total amount of gold remains constant. If the world consists of gold hoarders who want to buy food but all they can offer is gold and one farmer who has food for sale then that one farmer can demand as much gold as the market is willing to pay for the scarce good food.

RainLisp on .NET
Hello there.

I would like to share that I have been working on RainLisp, a LISP dialect that is entirely implemented in C# and therefore brought to the .NET ecosystem.

RainLisp's syntax is very simple and can be learned easily. So, it's ideal to be used in components that need to be configured in terms of code.

Examples might be configurable business logic computations and workflows that might differ between installations or are often changed in an ad hoc fashion.
Not one bit. Writing code isn't my job, it is just the tool I use to do my job. The actual job is to provide systems that solve problems. Even if a new tool comes along that can write the code, it does not change my job.

To quote the Intel docs:

> Plane scaling is [sic] supports both linear and non-linear scaling modes. The scaling mode is programmed in the PS_CTRL. In HDR mode, scaling and blending operations are generally performed in linear mode.

To be limited to sRGB would mean, that the hardware is pretty much limited to SDR. That would make it unusable in mainstream market today; just good enough for low-end SBCs.

Not to diminish your art or anything, but if you just want to present some numbers, a <table> with two columns is fine. We can infer scale.
You are overestimating.

Even if there was a working phone network and phones when we were hunter gatherers, this wouldn't allow us to grow cities.

All inventions work off each other, but if we count them without prerequisites:

Agriculture (farming / animal domestication etc), ie being able to quite reliably produce a lot of food, is the most important innovation and invention for humanity.

Next, still not information but the industrial revolution and engines and mass scale production. Without this we would depend on humans and animals to do the work, and I for one do not like the idea of a modern slave industry, but even beyond that we couldn't use economies of scale, which actually allows for absolutely bonkers progress.

Then perhaps writing and reading, and networking.
