Googling for "site:nsa.gov filetype:pdf" gives tens of thousands of results with documents produced by the NSA about various things (the google counter is known to lie but that's not my point). They do publish things.
That's their whole thing — they deliberately save on capex by accepting lower efficiency, because that in turn allows running it intermittently on cheap solar without extra costs like batteries or having to run on more expensive power in the night etc.

I have no idea how realistic their end game is, but the general approach seems like a smart idea.

There was a site with stories like these somewhere, I sadly can't remember the URL any more.

I think the one that stuck out to me was the Soviet mainframe computer that would get weird bit flips almost every day, always at the exact same time. Somebody compared what was different about the days it didn't get bit flips on, it turns out those were the days on which a particular train didn't run, the computer was very close to a railway station. What train was it, you ask? The one transporting the (definitely perfectly safe to eat, definitely not filled to the brim with nuclear radiation) cow meat from Chernobyl. The radiation was intense enough to cause bit flips, I'm sure the quality of soviet components didn't help here either.
The ASML lithography machines are only built by ASML. They are insanely complex and would be damn hard to replicate. Especially when they can't just obtain one and pull it apart. Fab equipment is different in nature to drones and natural resources which are in abundant supply.

I find it hard to believe that people who could no longer afford a home in CA became homeless instead of moving to a cheaper state. Or at the city level, I really doubt the homeless people in SF are from SF.

That's missing a "not", right (probably after "really")?
I don't believe that study at all--it's published by people with an agenda who want to slant reality so they keep getting funding. When I see homeless people and talk to them, they openly admin they're from out of state and came here for the drugs and weather. There are people like this guy I've met who are very open about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGaWD2GMh8Y

Btw, itty-router v5 just dropped a couple days ago, with a fun batteries-included (still ultra-small) router, that should make your code even leaner.

How is the integration w/ zod anyway, and how can we make it better?
The solution is easy. Repeal all the tax increases, regulations, spending programs, and policies enacted over the last 10 years.
Perhaps, but at the very least it's gone through multiple rounds of security and privacy review from different groups.
One would think so. I remember looking through my very first hosting provider's settings page for my site and saw that "Directory Listing" (or similar) was "On". I thought to myself "Well that doesn't sound right, if it means what it sounds like it means." I Googled and that's what it meant. I turned it off. So if a complete newb setting up his first website thought it was a bad idea, one would think, like you said, that a cyber security company would know to disable it (or double and triple check that it's disabled). With all that said, hopefully this is an April Fool's prank.
Yeah, that was a hard read. I think it highlights the importance of emotionally distancing yourself from your projects.

It's also interesting because it exploits the current zeitgeist when it comes to maintainers' responsibilities to their users and communities. Personally, I think it puts too much expectation on maintainers' shoulders, especially when they're working for free.

Personally, I think maintainers are doing favors for users, and if they don't like how the project is progressing or not, then too bad. That's not a popular sentiment, though.

Why would the value get truncated?
I recall reading a variant of that where a terminal had a "print screen" button, and the claim was it would work when standing but not when sitting down (or was it vice versa).

In the end there were two print screen buttons, only one of them functional, and one of them more obvious when standing (or sitting).

These kind of stories are classic debugging parables that teach you to step back and consider what you may be assuming incorrectly when something absolutely doesn't make sense or seems impossible.
How do you know all the tasks they were given? I know people with similar background who worked in an office. Lying would be saying you went to a school somewhere you didn’t or didn’t work as long as you said so.

I think you are making a lot of assumptions from a personal bias.

Probably not your point but

> If you see you could have done something simpler, can you de-complicate it?

this is why I think microservices are generally better - because they increase the friction to create coupling, and coupling creates complexity, and in particular makes it very difficult to de-complicate things. Put another way, microservices make coupling far more obvious, and the presence of strong coupling in a microservice architecture should be a massive red flag - one that's really easy to miss in a monolith.

The unfortunate thing about participating in these exchanges, however, is that it's impossible to explain ourselves in sufficient detail, so in the monolith vs microservice debate, we all end up just speaking across each other.
More specifically, the Akkadian language with cuneiform on clay tablets became the lingua franca of the late Bronze Age, long after the decline of the Akkadian empire. The Bronze Age collapse dates to about a thousand years after the end of the Akkadian empire, but it was still the language used for diplomatic purposes as far away as the Aegean Sea and the Egyptian imperial court. A number of royal and scribe family archives have been found, containing thousands of these clay tablet letters.

California already collects record revenue via State taxes, and has for a long time. Those who run Sacramento dole it out in large quantities. Only Jerry Brown has had the strength and skill to balance a budget in decades. Notably, the current Gov started tenure with a substantial surplus, and mysteriously now has record deficits again.

China has been working on it for decades. China already has plenty of lower technology Fab operations, and have invested into ramping up the quality.

Just because China has not been competitive at the highest end of that chip fabrication does not mean that they have not been competitive at chip fabrication as a whole. Tons of semiconductors are manufactured in China. Not advanced gpus, no, but there is a decent chance that your microwave contains semiconductor chips built in China.
It's always funny when they go to the expense of licensing Denuvo but then accidentally release a DRM-free version one way or another. The other classic blunder is to release a free demo version with an executable that is complete enough to play the data packages from the full version of the game if they are swapped in. That's what "demo bypass" means in the Reddit table.

> this paper does not estimate the effect of wearing masks, but rather the effect of mandating mask wearing

This study doesn't control its variables properly. Places with no mask mandates are also places where people typicaly didn't take other precautions such as avoiding mass gatherings.
Prospering for who though? Landlords? Certainly not the average Californian making $50-$60k who can barely afford rent and groceries. Cost of living and quality of life are moving in opposite directions. Yep, big tech, Hollywood, beaches/Tahoe, and a lot of other things are great--but why can't people admit that the state has been getting shittier for the last 30 years? It obviously has. Housing prices going up isn't exactly 'prospering' for most... what other signs can you point to? Our failing schools? Or lack of any consequences for any crime? I would struggle to point to how the state is doing well--other than income potential.

Ask HN: Looking for a project to contribute to? (April 2024)
This thread is open to anyone seeking for volunteer projects to contribute to and anyone who is seeking volunteer contributorss for their projects.

SEEKING CONTRIBUTORS: A good example would be to write the name of the project, and a short description. Also write down the project website and git forge URL, and write the programming languages it uses. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" for people seeking projects to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING PROJECTS" comments.

SEEKING PROJECTS: If comfortable doing so, write down your name, and programming languages that you know. Also don't forget to write down some of the projects that you have volunteered on, or some of the projects that you made, and what you are interested in working on. Optionally, you can write your email, if you want opportunities to be discussed privately. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING PROJECTS" for people seeking volunteers to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" comments.
If you're going to extend Go the courtesy of customizing the parser, oughtn't you do the same for Python (and all the languages)?

To wit, Python's json module has `parse_float` and `parse_int` hooks:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#encoders-and-dec...

Example:

>>> json.loads('{"int":12345,"float":123.45}', parse_int=str, parse_float=str)
{'int': '12345', 'float': '123.45'}

FWIW, when I've cared about interop and controlled the schema, I've specified JSON strings for numbers, along with the range, precision, and representation. This is no worse (nor better) than using RFC 3339 for dates.
Not wanting to ruin a good joke, is this because imperfections in the alignment of otherwise pure substances provide opportunistic "holes" in structure for things like van der waals forces to work their magic?

I am reminded of the "you can develop photos with a banana and a spoon" (not really) stories, which underline the fundamentals of what photographic development is: a chemistry story which is not about the substances as much as about how base and acids combine. The photoreactive chemicals are highly specific, but the process of fixing them, and binding visible molecules to them or not, is more general.

Maybe the role of "contaminants" in graphine is similar? Not what it is, but what it DOES.

Let’s not.
I don't know if the CDC 6600 can be considered superscalar. I called it scalar because it can never issue more than one instruction per cycle, and can thus never sustain faster-than-scalar execution.

If you use a different definition of superscalar (just having concurrent operations in flight), then I guess that applies to the CDC 6600? Then it'd also apply to any pipelined core, including stuff like the Intel 486.
I'm not trying to use personal emotions, I'm trying to invoke broad consensus for words like "sufficient", and reference both history and cost (as independent from price) to help detect shortages.

Needs are a part of economics even when they're socially defined/refined.

> supply and demand

It feels like you're not attempting to understand what I'm saying, though.

The concept you were talking about with "a situation prevents price from rising, thereby warding off a change in demand". That is the type of situation I am trying to refer to.

This illustrates an interesting and important point that Bushman has been highlighting over and over and over again. Some of Bushman's stuff has been questionable but this one is maybe nonignorable.

One important caveat to it though is that there's a lot of research showing anger and aggression are not the same thing. Anger is more of an emotional state that tends to be more highly related to other negative emotions, and aggression per se is more of a behavioral control state that tends to be more correlated with other forms of dysregulation and disinhibition.

Along these lines, I sometimes think the "high arousal" strategies are not so much about decreasing anger, but more so about diverting the arousal associated with anger toward a nonaggressive response. I also question whether some of these strategies are always helpful "in the moment" in taming anger in all individuals. It's one thing to include this type of training in a controlled environment or study; it's another thing to employ it in "real world" "hot" scenarios where the "autodeescalation" or lack thereof is in fact the problem.

In those cases, it might be easier to channel arousal into a nonaggressive or nonharmful activity than to turn the arousal down. So I think these kinds of studies help clarify what different strategies do and do not do, but I'm not sure that if a strategy doesn't decrease anger per se, it is useless in decreasing aggression.
> But just like Java, its almost useless to code in it for personal or smaller projects.

That's entirely the opposite from my experience. Rust is a pleasure to code in for personal projects once you're familiar with the language, especially compared to C/C++. Managing dependencies is more straightforward, and there are a lot of crates out there to make writing your project easier.
Would you rather be an average Californian or an average Danish person? Who has better quality of life? Who has longer life expectancy? Who gets to retire earlier? Who gets more time off per year or parental leave? Who is happier/less stressed? California is great for the ruling elite and people working in big tech, but not that great for everyone else. The only way California is best is if the only thing you care about is income potential.

Many would say the same about SF in particular, but it's also an extreme example. I worked there for 4 years, then once I wanted to start a family, I left and didn't look back. It's not even like SF gets tons of hate because it's doing well; the place's relevance is truly fading.
Have Chron's with stricturing and anything more than a quarter cup of corn, popcorn, pineapple or leafy greens would bring me to my knees in about 5-8 hours. Nuts are a little hit or miss, I need to chew them up really well and not eat them on an empty stomach and I'm good for a few handfuls.

I tell people that if it looks the same coming out as it goes in, I can't have that banging around my guts.

Any fast or junk foods are totally fine since they're mostly low fiber, but high fiber foods are mostly okay, too.

Due to my strictures and the nightmare stories I've read from people online, I specifically eat foods that are mushy or smoothies and soups. Basically, I'm pre-digesting the foods before they're eaten so they're easier to pass through a narrowing intestional wall and it has worked well for years now. Only time I've had issues are when I eat too quickly, too much at once or have one of my problem foods.

I'm also on a biologic, which made all the difference after being untreated for about 6 months, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

General comprehension of the term changed because usage patterns changed.
My opinion is that a safe approach is to use either 52-bit integer number or 64-bit floating number to keep JavaScript compatibility. JavaScript is too important and at the same time, the errors are too terrific (JS will silently round to the nearest 52-bit integer number which could lead to various exploits) to skip on that. If you need anything else, just use strings.
I think it’s likely to be a mild hybrid.

its really cool but ... i have listened to tens of thousands of hours of podcasts and these are not podcasts. these are audio versions of articles or short books, most of the content of whichi is probably based on wikipedia being absorbed into the network.

and probably 90+ percent of successful podcasts are two or more people talking. thats the entire point.

>> For the thirteenth century BC, we have no evidence at all of metal body-armour or shields. These are features of the earlier Mycenaean epoch – for example, the bronze lobster cuirass from a tomb at Dendra – or of the period after the fall of the Mycenaean palaces, especially the middle of the twelfth century BC.

I've seen that suit of armour up-close. I think it was in the War Museum, in Athens, but it might have been the Archeological Museum (I loved all museums as a child; also, as an adult). Wikipedia references imply it's in the Argos museum, where I haven't been, so when I saw it, it must have been on a loan:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendra_panoply

Or maybe the one I saw was a copy. In any case, an impressive piece of kit and a bit steampunk in aesthetic. There's a clear picture of a beautiful boar's tusk helmet like the one found with the armour, here:

Fortunately no noticable side effects, other than when I get something in my eye and back out again, my brain keeps telling me something is there for an hour or two afterward.
