I mean, I feel like "generally satsified but for a couple of sovreign states" is handwaving things a bit.

Russia similarly feels Ukraine was split off due to "external interference". Makes the claim no more legitimate.

> The film grain will have no effect if it's not visible due to image/stream compression such as when the viewer sees the film on a video streaming service. HDR wont show up for most viewers. Details you need more than 1080p to see won't show for many (most?) viewers ... so I'd dispute your "will have an effect" here.

You're going too low level, I'm thinking of lighting and colour and intentional blur via adjusting focus.

> Good storytelling (and probably blunt spectacle) is the only thing common to all viewers that can win them over. For mainstream media everything else is gloss that may have no effect.

You really need to reverse spectacle and storytelling in this statement. How else can the box office be dominated by superhero movies that personally I ... just ... can't ... tell ... apart?
Most people don’t want to live in Manhattan or similarly dense settings. I’m not sure why the state or voters felt it would be okay to take away local choice or why they thought it would be easy.

Rather than trying to force density on existing cities where residents value their current neighborhood character and quality of life, it would be better to bring economic opportunity to cities left behind that are smaller and have more space. It doesn’t make sense to crowd into a few coastal cities.
Also they don’t have a player that can move between live and VOD like YouTube’s. If it were easier to jump back to before the ad and play at 1.25 until you catch up it’d probably be less annoying to the users.
Branching would be valuable
Not if you never give them any real information about you. At least one virtual card operator lets you use whatever name and address you want per card.
Damn. I was wondering why my tickets from Juliaca to Lima were so expensive.
makes sense, i figured something like that but thanks for clarifying
thanks. This is outrageous. How is it possible for these actions to occur, especially closing voting sites? Surely there should be federal mandate that there should be X number of voting sites per Y number of residents

Of course we don't get the same out of the box experience as CNPG, but considering we have the engineering capacity to build those parts ourselves, it was a no-brainer!

For the vast majority of people you can tell by given name and surname.

You get around this by picking a gender-ambiguous nickname and using that as your given name. Ariel, Logan, Dakota, Drew, Jordan, etc.

Surnames are harder, but you're aiming for ambiguity. Williams, Johnson, Smith, Jones and Brown -- e.g., the five most common African American surnames. Other options like Kim and Lee will also get you far here.
Maybe GP is referring to using mutable instances as default arguments in Python? Because that is a known Bad Thing (TM).

Totally. But like I say in the article, figuring out how to get closer to whatever your ideal career is can be achieved in your free time through hobbies, books, classes, and other experiences. I think it comes down to just trying to be more aware of you feel when doing certain things. For example, I tutored in college and didn't think much of it, but when I looked back I realize how satisfying and fulfilling it was to help other students learn something. What I took from what was, I should focus on careers where I have the ability to mentor people who are less experienced at some point.
> The current life expectancy for Cuba in 2024 is 79.33 years, a 0.19% increase from 2023.

> The current life expectancy for U.S. in 2024 is 79.25 years, a 0.18% increase from 2023.

Regardless of this whole discussion we're having, I'm confused as to how we're both able to come up with such different numbers from the same source. The above are direct quotes from the website we're both looking at.

And then there's this [1] study, which finds that socialized healthcare beats privatized on life expectancy by about 10 years on average. If you don't like life expectancy as a metric, consider [2]. It compares the US to various other developed countries, the primary difference being that the other countries have socialized healthcare. Private health care loses on all but one of a much wider range of metrics.

Your belief that private health care is in some sense better is pure ideology, and has no basis in reality.

I do this because I have to protect my brain from marketers that are working against my financial interests, time management goals, and general mental hygiene. If I'm searching for, like in your case, tech info, it's because I want a solution to a problem that has nothing to do with getting sold crappy VPN services or mobile games.

We could have a decentralized and open medium for global information exchange. Instead, the web is a cesspool, and a large part of why is because we've commercialized everything.

While you're correct, it's worth keeping in mind that Wireguard only looks up DNS names when the tunnel is started.

If your remote endpoint address changes, the only way your client will find out is either if you restart the tunnel on the client device by hand, or in the lucky case, if the remote endpoint happens to send some data to you at the right time while your client is still hopefully reachable at the same IP+port, which may not be a given behind a NAT if a port mapping times out from inactivity or if it changed network in the meantime.

The fact that unclear code is common does not make it clear.

Single-letter variable names, ternary operators and long run-on lines, like salt, are delicious in small quantities. But when you're writing code so complicated you need multiple comments, within a single statement?

I appreciate that you've got to piss with the cock you've got. I've certainly done things with C++ template metaprogramming, with perl, with TLA+ and with bash that I'm not proud of. But the fact the tool forces me to write something unclear doesn't mean I'm not writing something unclear.
We are doing it with fancy-pointers (yes, that is the actual technical term in C++ land) and allocators. It’s open-source, so it’s not like there’s any hidden magic, of course: “Just” a matter of working through it.

Using manual mapping (same address values on both sides, as you mentioned) was one idea that a couple people preferred, but I was the one who was against it, and ultimately this was heeded. So that meant:

Raw pointer T* becomes Allocator<T>::pointer. So if user happens to enjoy using raw pointers directly in their structures, they do need to make that change. But, beats rewriting the whole thing… by a lot.

container<T> becomes container<T, Allocator<T>>, where `container` was your standard or standard-compliant (uses allocator properly) container of choice. So if user prefers sanity and thus uses containers (including custom ones they developed or third-party STL-compliant ones), they do need to use an allocator template argument in the declaration of the container-typed member.

But, that’s it - no other changes in data structure (which can be nested and combined and …) to make it SHM-sharable.

We in library “just” have to provide the SHM-friendly Allocator<T> for user to use. And, since stateful allocators are essentially unusable by mere humans in my subjective opinion (boost.interprocess authors disagree apparently), use a particular trick to work with an individual SHM arena. “Activator” API.

So that leaves the mere topic of this SHM-friendly fancy-pointer type, which we provide.

For SHM-classic mode (if you’re cool with one SHM arena = one SHM segment and both sides being able to write to SHM; and boost.interprocess alloc algorithm) —- enabled with a template arg switch when setting up your session object —- that’s just good ol’ offset_ptr.

For SHM-jemalloc (which leverages jemalloc, and hence is multi-segment and cool like that, plus with better segregation/safety between the sides) internally there are multiple SHM-segments, so offset_ptr is insufficient. Hence we wrote a fancy-pointer for the allocator, which encodes the SHM segment ID and offset within the 64 bits. That sounds haxory and hardcore, but it’s not so bad really. BUT! It needs to also be able to be able to point outside SHM (e.g., into stack which is often used when locally building up a structure), so it needs to be able to encode an actually-raw vaddr also. And still use 64 bits, not more. Soooo I used pointer tagging, as not all 64 bits of a vaddr carry information.

So that’s how it all works internally. But hopefully to the user none of these details is necessary to understand. Use our allocator when declaring container members. Use allocator’s fancy-pointer type alias (or similar alias, we give ya the aliases conveniently hopefully) when declaring a direct pointer member. And specify which SHM-backing technique you want us to internally use - depending on your safety and allocation perf desires (currently available choices are SHM-classic and SHM-jemalloc).

Although I don't know the specifics of this thruster — the phrase "generates high speed protons through the ionization of water vapor" sounds like the reporter/press release writer didn't understand what the scientists told them — it's very easy to get protons up to 148 keV in a lot of different ways.

There's a specific kind of fusion reactor which gets done as a highschool science-faire project every so often, similar voltage level: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a34312754/12...
It’s early. Studies in Brazil show up to 90% reduction (Oxitec’s numbers) and they’re just now going into their third season of testing in the Florida keys, working with the EPA. They say the results are good, and I assume they must be if the government is letting them expand the trials. I think we’ll have hard numbers soon.

I’ve been following this for years just out of curiosity. It’s a brilliant solution and a brilliant business model. Because the genetic alteration kills the mosquitoes, you have to keep buying them from the company. It both makes it so that there’s seemingly little risk to the environment and subscription revenue.
HGST (now owned by WD) never seemed to acquire a bad reputation. Always top of the charts in Backblaze's drive statistics. Longest warranties. I was sad when they got bought. Their factory still seems to produce better drives than WD in general, as of a couple years ago.

I've written a number of books, 3 of them bestsellers, and I've always looked for outside input to help with the outline.

When you're close to a deadline, or too close to the subject, you need some outside guidance to make sure you're not missing some obvious step in getting your point across.

It's not always easy to find someone that knows how to be a great sounding board. They need to be very smart system thinkers, naive about the topic, engaged and interested. I have such friends, but I try to use their time sparingly.

So now I do use AI to either provide a first-draft of an outline for new content, or (my preferred MO) to review my own first draft suggest missing items I should cover.

Replying here to the comment which was removed:

You can and should talk about the biological and social origins of homosexuality if it interests you. But, you should avoid doing it in a way that's insulting.

I would also suggest, since it's a sensitive topic affecting people that have been persecuted, making sure the comments are thoughtful and non-reductionist.

For people who'd prefer to be cavalier about the subject though, there's not lack of spaces on the internet to do so.
many interesting responses which I'll read in depth better later. My comment wasn't against solar panels and batteries and in favour of oil etc. as some assumed. Just interested, because recycling seems a pretty big deal to become really sustainable in all economic matters. In my mind, which might be wrong about many things, until we get a rate of recycling >= that of waste there's a problem, maybe showing up later than today, but eventually it will surface again. Repeating myself, this is my mind model and of course subject to error.

As for the Descent 3 code, that would be awesome! D1 and D2 have been modernized through source ports, but getting D3 to work on modern systems has always been rough, and a source release would be an awesome starting point.

What would be the best place to keep tabs on for the release happening?
This is interesting. LibreTranslate has been my go-to offline translation system for a few years, but I need an upgrade. This looks like a decent candidate, assuming I can make it work with what we got.

And you are trying to make this thread into some win for yourself that it is not. My original point was that life is a common goal of all humans on this planet, for life to continue, you need health. The services to keep people healthy should be provided to all citizens of modern societies at a cost that is spread out across all citizens equitably. That is a point you have yet to address.

Please take the win you did achieve, you identified a dietitian is the right person to talk to about your diet, bravo.
I constantly think about this film. The amount of moments that must have been lost to time. Vague memories that must me merged into innate feelings and instinct that shape John into the person that he is.

Does he actually learn from his experiences, and chooses to be the man that he is? Or did his experiences literally whittle him down to the person that he has become.

In essence: Is he the embodiment of a mankind that witnesses the consequences of its actions, or is he the very antithesis of it (telling in the way that he distinguishes himself from others, whilst being extremely humane in every interaction).

On a lighter note: I also wonder if he can juggle and do a backflip, or if he could and these skills were lost to time.

In the same way that many of us are defined by a childhood that we barely remember, I wonder if his generosity and kindness is born from a blur of unconscious experiences he barely remembers.

I left big tech in September of last year and began my search maybe a couple of months before I quit. Talked to perhaps 6 companies, was more interested in some roles than others, all were remote however which was my goal. I didn’t have too difficult of a time engaging with companies, though it really helps to have that initial contact with a recruiter or an introduction, as applications to companies are just a blackhole I’m convinced. Ultimately found my new company and role from a HN who’s hiring thread, and reached out to the recruiter via email. Feel free to message if you have questions. Best of luck!
Does deterrance actually work? Show me someone in the US who doesn't know about jails. Also a secure border was assumed but not stated. This presumes social groups want to be exclusive and are choosey of membership.

This is a good approach and is pretty common in the embedded world. You use a ring buffer to store a relatively short but detailed log, and then if you encounter an error (or whatever other relevant trigger criteria you use) you snapshot the contents of that ring buffer. Then later you can retrieve the snapshots to figure out what happened.
Now do it for the encrypted signal (the P(Y)-code)!
This is something that makes me nervous any time I see YouTube videos about these sorts of lasers. They can blind someone nearly instantly, silently, and invisibly from a quarter mile away. That's terrifying.
35 year old male. I developed tinnitus in my left ear only after covid last December. It's been constant since December 21st, 2023.

I have an amazingly huge level of empathy of anyone dealing with this - the first few days were some of the longest of my life. Through it all so far, it's amazing how little we seem to know about tinnitus - TL;DR my doctors have said we don't have any great answers for it.

Thanks for posting the link - I will try any "trick" or treatment for this.

OpenHub (formerly Ohloh) tries, or tried, to do this. Seems like it’s not getting a lot of love lately but perhaps you can learn from it.

One useful feature is the ability to coalesce different identities. For example, I've released libraries on my personal accounts as well as through work. For a while I used to link there from my personal site since it nearly summarized that I’d made N thousand commits to OSS. But I stopped. I’m not really sure what the point is for me.

If it’s bragging rights, we have Github stars. Effectively (and sadly) open source is a resume building tool nowadays, so maybe that?

What use cases do you see?
Great context for us GPGPU fans!

Do you think the L4 should have similar perf? Considering it has similar features and specs to L40, and I doubt the lower 300 GB/s bandwidth woudl be an issue.
I have tinnitus only when I think about it. The rest of the time my brain just ignores it.
Uniformly terrible.

I started looking casually for a new position last July, then in earnest last October, and then my previous contract ended in middle of February and I "lucked" into a new contract in middle of March. ("Lucked" because I was contacted out of the blue by a good recruiter for a good firm, but also that contact was somewhat the result of a lot of prep work I had done.)

I'm a generalist developer with small-firm management experience, 45, still picking up new stuff all the time despite working in tech for over 20 years, and with some decent extracurriculars.

I sent out many, many applications. A percentage of them required homework of varying kinds -- tests or generating and filling out a profile that contained all the same data as my resume. Most of those never resulted in an interview, so it was all wasted effort.

I had several promising leads evaporate at some point during the interview process because the company changed their mind about the position. Other interviews never provided any feedback whatsoever.

My current contract is for a firm that needed someone with extensive PHP experience, which I have, but they were a Ruby-only shop and needed to do a technical evaluation on me. So, I spent a week preparing for that interview until I was reasonably comfortable with basic Ruby, only for it never to come up during the interview after all. And, like, these seem to be pretty good people overall -- it's just emblematic of the state of things.

I very, very nearly quit tech to start working towards becoming a personal trainer, and may still do so at the end of this contract. In my view, getting hired right now is in some ways even harder than it was during the dotcom bust of the early 2000s. If you are a specific kind of person -- 20s, maybe some college, and experience at a FAANG, and "senior" or "lead" after just a couple of years in the industry -- then you might have some options.

Hiring processes are fractally broken though. People are getting hired, there are jobs available, but there are also hundreds of applicants for any position within a few hours of the position opening, and because hiring processes are so broken, it's quite hard to stand out as an applicant.
Anybody try using a stim machine for tinnitus? I've read that had helped some people. I wonder if it works similar to other areas where it helps promote healing so maybe some of the hair cells recover?
Yikes… I have a number of Proton emails I use just to sign up to one service that I may access once a year or less. This is a dangerous change…

The OP says nobody will be able to claim my email, which is great, but what if I want to reclaim my own email? It’s just permanently inaccessible?

Luckily I use a password manager so I can easily check which Proton emails I need to log into. I’ll remember to do that this year, but maybe not next year… perhaps 1Password could add a feature to help with this, listing passwords using Proton emails where you haven’t accessed them in some time.

Relatedly, Google Voice does a similar thing and I need to send myself a text every six months to avoid losing the number I use for 2FA on a bunch of services.
I still pray for some advancement that can actually repair the cause (damaged hearing) rather than the symptom (tinnitus).
