> but those bridges where also constructed by a far poorer nation

That's a must more interesting question when discussing the topic of infrastructure.

Sure we've created a lot more money in the last 50 years, but we've also lost a lot of domestic manufacturing. When it comes to something as vital as roads and bridges are we poorer when we have less paper money or when we are less independent in the manufacturing and maintenance of them?
it would be so easy to just implement an opt-out function, but Microsoft doesn't want to.

Unfortunately, most humans involved in these processes are satisfied with being cogs in the wheel. Nothing wrong with that, they have their own bills to pay and a hundred other things to be worried about.

A system that can even allow anyone to “flag” potential process issues to be bubbled up will be quite useful. Such as the role played by X and Google reviews for most private businesses. Or the “How was your experience?” machines outside washrooms with three smiley buttons goes a long way than not having any feedback loop.
>>But I guess I thought that maybe there was... typically some kind of earthen buffer around the pillar to prevent such an impact?

It does look reasonable to have such a buffer. But any preventive measure will have limits as what and how serious an impact it can deal with.

In this case the ship this massive is something that is carrying ridiculous inertia, and its highly unlikely even a buffer could stop such an impact.

I think at some point you are better off solving these issues with more regulation(smaller ships)? Instead of treating this as a engineering problem.

If only remuxing could get rid of the black bars that Blu-Rays include in the video stream because the spec only allows a small number of resolutions which surprisingly don't include any 21:10 ish aspect ratio common with movies.

Even just a convention for storing crop coordinates in metadata that players could automatically make use of would be godsent. Although a perfect solution would need to support varying this throughout the movie as some cunts (Nolan) like to use different aspect ratios for diffent shots.

Call it cynicism but I think humans just prefer things to be implicit. I've been annoyed by how people do not want to be specific, but then rant about how someone did not understand exactly what they wanted.

A certain CEO says that we won't need programming languages because you will be able to program AI systems with natural language. Well, the problem with natural language is not that we do not have the tech, it is that natural language is too imprecise. People will, again, end up being dissatisfied by the output of AI systems and blame it on the tech, while the problem just remains that as humans we kinda suck at being explicit about what we want.
I think it's important to add color to this part:

> Apple isn't a big enterprise player as far as (except for development)

They never really went after the tech companies themselves. The way Macs dominate certain development fields is a result of their popularity with consumers that drove companies to adopt the tech to attract talent. Me and many colleagues 5 years ago weren't interested in web startups using a Windows dev environment. Not saying there's merit to that, but my main point is that Apple focused on the end user(which happened to be a burgeoning web dev class during the last 15 years) rather than enterprise.

I think it's further evidenced by how relatively slow Apple has been to deploy some management tools that are more common in Windows-land. Anecodtally it feels like 3rd parties filled the gap on that side for Apple for quite a while. MDM, other IT tools, repair networks, and more recently self-repair kits were all much slower to deploy than how Microsoft (think Dell) went after their corporate customers.
ok but will that work other tools that work with those csvs? I imagine that they export / import from excel to csv for a reason.

I had a couple similar ones but somehow failed to learn much of anything from them, maybe I was too young or the booklet they came with was useless to induce any learning besides unthinkingly recreating the presented schematics. Or maybe I learned some circuit basics and don't even realize it. However, I do remember utterly non-comprehending anything that had anything to do with the tunable ferrite core coil.

Nice analysis! I still have an original Sega Saturn I’ve owned since 1996 that I fire up occasionally for a nostalgia bomb. The thing still runs perfectly, same as the day I unboxed it! They may have ended up with quite a complex hardware architecture, but you’ve gotta love the reliability of the older consoles. The same cannot be said of the more modern consoles I’ve had over the years - burning themselves up or failing in other ways.
The number one mistake I see people make in their life is giving importance to how other people treat them. How another person acts towards you only says something about that individual. It doesn't say anything about you and it doesn't say anything about any "class" or other group of people.

I've been treated as shit thousands of times in my life, for no reason, and treated well ten times more, also for no reason. We get these things in our heads that it's about us and that we're the victims of a world of discrimination, but what it was in reality is that we met some rude people and some jerks.

To get your foot into the door at all, as you mentioned, you have to demonstrate some value. Is that an act? I wouldn't say it is. I would even say that many people will have more patience and be more open to you if you're from a different background than them, or if you're young. The demands to be considered a part of polite society are usually low, so that anybody who wants to participate can enter. Politeness is first, which is free to learn and free to execute. Apart from that you need clean clothes and a clean person. Does that mean other people have to like you? No. If you're from a rough background and move into a different rough neighborhood, the people there will not necessarily like you either.
> If the AI is doing the building, we have to take care of the destroying, in this case destroying other people within a ring or an oktagon at the poker table or on the chessboard, sailing and surfing competitions for the more exotic personalities, also destroying pu*ies of all ethnicities too, that is always a good relief for anxiety.

What a bunch of vapid nonsense.

You seem to be under the impression that I somehow am not capable to do so.

And that's not even the point, just living outside the world because you can't bear being in it is not something desirable to me nor valiant on a general premise; not sure why you're taking that as a counterpoint to my distress.

Today, I think the more common modern scenario is Alice voluntarily leaves Bob because she decides (perhaps rightly!) she could be happier elsewhere. In this situation, custody is often contested, but Bob usually ends up paying child support anyway. I think this is more often the sort of situation that leads people to question if there's a moral obligation to pay Alice when she's a single mom because she made the choice to be.

It is also important to note the while child support is the named purpose of the payment, in practical terms Bob is simply paying Alice and Alice treats the money as fungible and spends the money at her discretion; Bob may be (and usually is) directed to pay certain child-expenses separately and directly, such as daycare, school supplies, and health insurance. Child support is on top of these expenses and is usually assessed as a percentage of income; 15% is a common number. Generally, this number is much higher than the actual marginal cost of having a child living with you.
That is the most outrageous theory I've ever heard on the subject. I don't believe it but I do like the audacity of it.
I think that oversimplifies things. Even a very skilled teacher or therapist is unlikely to make as much as an average skilled doctor, programmer, or (maybe?) lawyer.
I prefer to draw my own line thank you very much. You can choose to not watch movies or episodes you don't like but trying to erase bits of our shared culture is the that is disgusting here and not those movies.
You're right. But it was not the case years ago when my team evaluated Go and Node.js. I should have clarified.
I suspect part of the answer is that most or all countries regard leading information to the the public to be far worse than leaking it to other countries.

> Every country is potentially spying on every other country and it doesn't even matter if they are supposed to be allies or enemies.

Very true. The UK spying on Belgium and the US spying on Germany come to mind., but that is "business as usual" and no one expects it to change or start going after people involved.
> It's why even a mediocre doctor in the United States can make significantly more there than anywhere else in the world despite receiving equivalent training.

A mediocre developer or hairdresser in the United States also makes significantly more there than anywhere else in the world despite receiving equivalent training. That doesn't require any labor cartel.

> Each of the Intel intrinsic functions are well documented but figuring out which ones you need out of the 600 or so available functions is not easy.

So true. One of the most valuable skill to grow when using Intel intrinsics is a fluent navigation and intuition of the intrinsics library.

Nowadays things are much easier though, there are a lot of indexing websites and softwares where you can query, search, find intrinsics very quickly. Intel had an interactive intrinsics doc already 10 years ago.

Yet the compiler writers care only about the language spec, and you can bet that failing to optimize this as dead code would be considered a compiler bug.

This goes not only for Java compiler, but many other languages as well.
"Supports" might mean you can run unbuffered ECC UDIMMs but without ECC? Even Intel can run ECC UDIMMs in non-ECC mode. Also some manufacturers don't distinguish between "on-die ECC" (DDR5) and real ECC.
It's more that two sets of elected representatives (the Council and the Parliament) have passed laws that forbid this.

If you're an EU citizen then you can lobby both sets of representatives. If you're not then this isn't really any of your business.

Ask HN: Counting every unique sight in a lifetime
Pondering while walking that our eyes fall on innumerable objects, places, faces, even digital media like photos, videos and so many things around us (both physical and digital subjects).

While there is some work done on how much of it can we remember at a given time, do you wonder how big our entire visual vocabulary be if we count every object, face, place (any subject that can be uniquely, visually memorized - physical or digital) that falls before our eyes, and sum up the count over our lifetimes ?

This will vary between people and their environments, but I am still amazed by the potential size of this passive count of subjects that we process visually, even tough we may forget much of it.

How would one go about estimating an approximate range of total things that we see in our lives? It'd be our personal visual entropy vs others.
VHS is indeed horribble, if watched on today's TVs and wasn't that great back then. European PAL was a bit better than NTSC. And, while it's full of noise, it doesn't have the smear of digital noise reduction.

Scorsese grew up with this TV resolution and I'm sure he would have preferred high quality for things we cared about, but for day-to-day use, having VHS was fine. (If he really cared, he could have gotten a betamax recorder or a super-VHS recorder to record off the TV)

I'm pretty sure that he'll stream better copies - but for those not available, having a noisy VHS is great. And with streaming/digital "sales" you never know which films you're going to lose next...

C# has stable cross-platform SIMD API since .NET 7 (mind you, it had x86 and ARM intrinsics even before, including SIMD, but version 7 added API unification of Vector128/256/512(8) to have a single code path for multiple platforms).

It is very nice to use and produces readable(!) code.
> Expats can commit cyber crimes risk-free?

Not an expat. Julian Assange is not a US citizen, not on US ground, does not work for a US company. He can’t be committing “espionage” because he’s not inside; at most he can be committing “reporting” upon US practices.

Same question arose when EU wrote the GDPR: It was a debate at the time that a US company with no activity in EU could be trialled in EU for misdemeanor against EU laws. Apparently it can.
If you run the cost optimization with wind/PV/batteries/hydrogen at https://model.energy/ with 2030 cost projections (some of which have already been met) it comes out cheaper than nuclear at providing baseload (and hence at supplying anything, since baseload is nuclear's best case.)

The "running the numbers" you refer to very likely is a scam argument that requires batteries be used as the only storage mode. This can be much more expensive than properly engineered 100% renewable solutions, especially at higher latitude.

A bit late to reply, but if you see this know that you made some good points. Detesting it is probably a bit much, but I do find the pattern cumbersome. Do you use tokio in wasm? I haven't, but I've seen issues for wasm support closed because of tokio. That could have been an excuse. Again in embedded what I run into is that embassy is the standard executor, and is useful, but so many crates bring in tokio when they don't really need to that they are poisoned for embedded use. Lastly it isn't just being superfluous, it is a dozen or more crates bringing download size and attack surface that don't solve any problem I ever actually have, or mostly any problem the crate author had. So really what you helped me realize is that it isn't async/await I dislike at all, it is just tokio being the defacto implementation of it.
