It's well known that younger and younger people are being diagnosed with cancer, yet only a few major tests have been recommended to be done sooner (colon, prostate, breast) and by just a few years.
This is such a baffling and hostile response to a request for a widget where the only purpose is to quickly tell time. I just want to be able to quickly tell whether it's past 5pm for my coworker without having to squint or do math in my head.

(Also, for what it's worth, you're objectively incorrect about it being lying; time is measured in 12 hour cycles in most locales, with further bits of information for time zone, before/after noon, day, month, and year. 23:00 is still "ambiguous", missing almost as much of that context, but it's not "lying" if you have the required context)
Typo, yeah :( I don’t agree that it is true)

I can try doing it later today, but I’m 100% sure that TCP example will look pretty much the same in Java, in terms of complexity.

FWIW, this is a pretty huge change. gRPC is quite complex, as it includes protobuf, http/2 and its own RPC mechanism. A simple TCP protocol is peanuts compared to that.

You could have saved yourself a lot of typing by just saying that you are citing the ontological argument for God as your example. But OK...

I will start by asking you to define what you mean by "exist". But before you do that you should read this:

But I will also happily concede that something other than the universe exists. Quantum fields exist and they are not part of the universe. (However, I do not concede that quantum fields are non-contingent. They may or may not be, we simply don't know. There could be an infinite hierarchy of causation.)

It's dumb, but Wickard v. Filburn makes basically anything involving physical goods "commerce". I'm sure there's a ruling somewhere that says something like: people entering the country subtly alter the restaurant market (not really any dumber than the Wickard v. Filburn rationale), and therefore the feds have a right to search everything.

I think it would be a lot harder to do that with speech though. Maybe you could argue that the telegraph line itself impacts international copper markets or something, but there are non-tangible based communication methods.

This post gives me extremely little hope.

One one hand… ok, let’s say it’s an engineering post written by devs for devs. OKAY, talk about Rust if you like. Devs might be more interested in the cause than the effect.

On the other hand… is this written for devs? Seems written for users. And I for one don’t give one half of one shit what language you use as a customer. It’s a post about Exchange, I don’t want to hear about new fangled language. I don’t pay you use a specific language, I pay you to deliver a specific feature… now obviously I don’t pay them in anything but time, donation, and reputation. But I think the point applies.

No one but Rust Evangelicals care about doing something over in Rust. There isn’t a single end feature that you can deliver in Rust but not C.

It reads to me like the developers are nerding out on a detail while being slightly uncommitted to the thing they “are paid to make”.

I have to agree with the other users that MS has already set an EOL on the feature that TB is planning to use. So… woohoo Rust?

It's a common misunderstanding of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

In actuality, there's a direct relationship between how good a person thinks they are and how good they actually are. Not inverse. The Dunning-Kruger effect is that the people at the low end of the scale tend to rate themselves as slightly better than they are, and people at the high end of the scale tend to rate themselves as slightly worse than they are. The best people know they're good, but they tend to think they're not the best. The worst people know they're bad, but they tend to think they're not the worst.
Unless you’re using a transformer, AC adds a complication: energy storage. A device that takes AC in, wants to have a high power factor draw’s power that’s proportional to V^2, so the power is a sine wave at twice the input frequency. Most loads want power that doesn’t have 100% ripple at 120 Hz, so the power supply somehow needs to store about a half-cycle worth of power to out the ripples. As a practical matter, you end up with two-stage power conversion, where the first stage is a “power factor corrected” conversion to a high intermediate voltage and the second stage converts to the final voltage.

Similarly, for AC output, you want that 100% ripple on the output but not on the input.

Three-phase AC avoids this particular problem — power factor 1.0 with >= 3 passes has constant total power. But even a three-phase-AC motor drive producing variable frequency three-phase output has an internal DC bus.

As a practical matter, IMO all large residential loads except resistive heating either should be, or already are, either DC or variable frequency drives.

“… unions in Europe are a lot weaker than in the US.”

Maybe in other countries, but certainly not in Germany. I grew up in the southern US, and am still astounded at how strong and effective unions are here, even in conservative Bavaria. I’m in IT, but employed under a permanent contract that was negotiated by and is enforced by IG Metall, the industrial union for all non-management employees of lots of companies, regardless of job function. For example, Germany requires that employers give 24 paid vacation days per year. The contract I signed has 30.

As the post-COVID inflation spun up, they pretty quickly got us an 8% across-the-board pay increase without much drama, because they’re taken pretty seriously by management, and that’s on top of lots of little increases over the years.

I don’t adore everything IG Metall does, but I have trouble even imagining a comparable situation in the US, especially the southern US.

> Our Constitution gives powers to the executive that cannot be usurped or overruled by Congress, notably in this context to conduct the national defense and foreign affairs.

This is not true. The constitution explicitly reserves the power to declare war or enact treaties to Congress. Neither the military nor federal law enforcement can spend a single dime, or even exist, without Congressional approval. If the budget allocates no money to mass surveillance, no money is available to conduct mass surveillance.
>on-premise installations

But really tho…

The venn of “my work uses exchange on-prem”, “I use Linux desktop and can’t use outlook”, “I am aware of and would use exchange on Thunderbird” is pretty damn small.

I think they’re making a mistake using EWS and planning on targeting on-prem with the same or more weight than online.
Not sure why the headline was changed. This is an article about Rust programming. "Bringing Exchange Support to Thunderbird" implies it's about Thunderbird and it's support for Exchange - something you won't learn from the article.
> I suppose it would be much harder to do it without the transferTo function,

No, it would not:

byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
int read;
while ((read = System.in.read(buf)) > 0) {
System.out.write(buf, 0, read);
}
}
}

I imagine it will look pretty much the same in the majority of languages which have similar I/O abstractions.

I think you misunderstand elementary economics here. The rental market is not a monopoly or oligopoly. Landlords can not exercise market power. It is a competitive market given the number of independent landlords and given their inability to coordinate in order to effect collusion.

> the landlord class continuing to jack up rents every time they got more access to cheap money

That's not true. As a case study, in Australia during the negative net migration during Covid, rents actually decreased. Rents only increased when net migration levels surged post-2022 to 2.5x the level of annual housing starts. Credit in Australia is actually more expensive now than back when rents were low in the 2010s.
https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/rent-inflation

Also, cheap credit does have one deflationary impact on rents, which is that it leads to more housing starts which addresses the shortage issue. If credit was expensive you'd have less housing, exacerbating the main cause of rent increases.

Thanks for the feedback!

I meant the post to be more of a personal story. Of what i, personally, wanted to explore when learning about the Kaprekar constant, and of realizing that my interest is more on the "programming" side of things (programming languages, "readable" code, etc) than the more pure maths side.

But i can see how the tone could make it seem that was a competitive division of sorts, especially the title. I'll try to take it into account for (hopefully) future posts.

You're comparing the most powerful union in Germany though. There are much weaker unions in Europe. For example the IT union in Austria is super weak.
A lot of airports do have stop bar lights at the entrance to runways, and some have even installed "follow the greens" systems. They're not common in the US though.

The issue here is we had two separate controllers giving clearances to the same runway at the same time. One told an aircraft to take off while another told multiple aircraft to cross.

Might better technology have prevented this incident? Maybe. It would have been obvious that the runway is in use, so the aircraft crossing would likely have asked the controller to confirm instead of trusting the controller.
Um, that's totally, utterly irrelevant to anything at all?

For one, this isn't an ontological argument, this is a version of the cosmological argument.

I mean, I'm not even concerned about the truth or falsity of the conclusion of this argument. I posed this argument to you, and right away, we've started talking about ontological categories and what it means for something to exist. Have we not already started doing philosophy? Wasn't this supposed to be a purely scientific discussion?

In the early days of the Covid infection in India it was found patients whose vitamin D level was optimum were more likely to survive and perhaps not require I.C.U or breathing assistance. My opinion (and my G.P's) is that elderly people should take it every day.
Let's just assume the facts are as he says in the most charitable interpretation. You either have a 1.25% chance of a $1 billion company and a 98.75% chance of a $0 billion company. The expected value of a 1.25% chance of $1 billion is $12.5 million, so treat that as an (unrealistic) lower bound on your company's valuation.

There's no real explanation of why that isn't a good deal for an entrepreneur. You don't get to keep all that, but $500,000 dollars from YC for a 7-10% stake of companies (as others have said) with an expected value of $12.5 million is a deal that gives YC a maximum of $725,000 in value, given that 10% of $12.5 million is $1.25 million.

The question to ask is whether being part of YC adds $725k in value to your company; i.e., is it the cause of those startups being worth that much? Based on what others are saying in the thread, this seems to be true, but I'd love to know if people who were a part of YC felt like the assistance was worth that much.

My point is that it's difficult to believe that the average wealth of the entrepreneur is worse off by joining YCombinator even assuming all of the facts proposed in the thread are true.
It's interesting that this common decision, both for business and 'mission' purposes (often people also love what they do, the community around it, etc.), is mysterious.

LED lighting almost invariably wants constant current DC, so there’s a conversion stage regardless. The only major sort-of exception is LED tape, which uses a constant voltage supply, but internally, and lossily, regulates current.

A modern high-quality LED light bulb uses a little IC that controls a non-isolated switching converter. You can find excellent datasheets online.

> just get an Android phone

I hope you're joking. If you're an Apple user that's invested in their ecosystem "just getting an Android phone" could probably mean changing the way you do many things, resigning from services you were used to,, learning how to do things on the other side, and so on. That also applies when switching from Android to iPhone. It's just not that easy.

It reminds me of an odd experience I had with Wikipedia around covid time - I edit a bit and thought you could say covid may have arisen zoonotically like all previous such pandemics or may have come from the nearby lab which was running job ads for bat coronavirus researchers at the time of the outbreak and as an open wiki you could consider both but no - the lab stuff was largely verboten and unmentionable. I guess the above article explains a bit how that happened maybe?

Nothing. If I can’t view a site with my adblocker on, I will simply move on.

Don’t get me wrong, I feel for those legitimate platforms who are trying to fund themselves, but that well was poisoned for me decades ago.

You see, I was there at the beginning, when accidentally clicking on the wrong link (or the right link on the wrong day) spawned pop-ups and pop-unders, and any attempt to close them would auto-spawn more until not only was your browser frozen, but the entire computer had been ground to a halt (single-core processors, FTW), leaving your only option to conduct a hard shutdown and restart; your unsaved work be damned.

From that brutal period around the turn of the century, I acquired a permanent form of PTSD where ads are concerned. It got so bad that I have refused to consume broadcast TV or Radio for the last 20 years in addition to blocking Internet ads the moment the first adblocker became available for Phoenix (now Firefox).

Everyone is already doing that, which is exactly the problem. When every leader is trying to make their city/company more competitive, the ones that are already competitive will win. They can do more, because they have more money.

If you want to fight the market, you need centralization. You tax everyone and use the collected money to subsidize a limited number of cities with unrealized potential. Selecting the winners is essential. The more evenly you spread the money, the less effect it will have.
