Hm, I’ve actually had good luck with specializing in Linux. Windows is a given, sure, but any time I’ve interviewed they glanced over my Windows experience and wanted to talk Red Hat.
It’s part of the standard library, not the language, so it’s not really a cost to the compiler.

And this just uses all the same rules as normal Rust code, so like, sure, to use features you have to know them, but I find it a bit silly to frame that as a “cost.” If that’s a cost, so is literally everything.

Anyway my main point is just that you have less refount traffic than in other implementations.
It might be the hygdata set which can be found here: https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database

It currently says it has the "Hipparcos-Yale-Gliese" database, with 119,614 stars and the "Tycho-2/Gaia" subset with 118,971 stars. That seems pretty close to the numbers quoted in the demo.

I used it previously for a matrix math conversion project translating the NIST JAMA library into a Javascript library.

If interested, the test page as a githack link can be found here. Click the "Run 3D Ellipse Fitting on Nearby (100 LY) Stellar Data". My example only uses the 25,000 out to 100 LY.

Who said anything about "unique businesses"?

A developer that simply (and only) blindly builds what they are told is rarely a part of a successful team. This translates to technical implementation plans too, but I am highlighting that if you want to get hired, you should showcase how you balance opposing priorities, requirements and time.

And once you do, you'll be judged on them.
My eyesight is fine. What I'm thinking is that you can't do low contrast, very fine lines (1px) and very small text all at the same time. The lower the contrast, the broader the strokes have to be.

But as I said, the contrast may well be sufficient on a MacBook display while being unreadable on the lowish end monitor connected to my Mac mini. It's certainly not a setup that anyone would do professional video editing on, but casual users may well try.

Good point about the glare though.
I was wondering the same thing, but another comment on this post pointed one out.

It’s clunky to distribute and rotate ssh keys, but much easier to do that with WireGuard credentials.
Asking for diplomatic solution now is ridiculous because it's obvious to anybody in the region that Russia wins long-term if we let them attack, negotiate parts of Ukraine, rebuild, attack, negotiate parts of Ukraine, regroup, etc. And Russia winning means thousands of people tortured and murdered. And then we get the war again anyway.

The only way Ukraine wins (and our region can be safe long-term) is if we punish Russia the one time they tried to bite off more than they were able to swallow.

Ask Russian opposition. Ask Ukrainians, Poles, Lithuanians, Balts, Czechs, Romanians, Georgians, etc.

Also it's not left vs right issue. It's (prorussian alt-right + alt-left) vs (pro-Ukrainian mainstream).
I want to say that there’s a missing component that a lot of people miss when it comes to protest. Visibility means nothing if target doesn’t care. The goal of protest isn’t visibility , it’s to convince a target into doing what you want, where visibility is used as a tool to embarrass the target into submission. If the target has no shame, then you can protest all you want, they won’t care.

In the 1960s If the US wasn’t in a cold war and didn’t care that they were perceived as racists , The Civil Rights Movement would probably have to moved towards the Malcom X direction than Kings.

The style of the construction is what matters most. If you're using JS then you're already giving up types, but the higher order abstract syntax is what lets you embed and play with language semantics.
I thought the crypto-bros were annoying but the generative LLM bubble is far, far worse for everyone.
> Germany has not tried to roll out hydrogen yet

And for good reason…

> CO2 charges are not yet at the point where natural gas must stop being used for long period leveling.

During that period, Germany has emitted more CO2 than hundreds of millions of peoole, and we're way past the moment where we should have stopped using coal and gas really.

> Also, a big part of Germany's large expenditure was in 2009-2012 when solar (in particular) was far more expensive. Funny how you didn't mention that, isn't it.

And why hasn't Germany completed the transition now that “solar is dirt cheap” for years now, then? Solar makes no sense in Europe, period. Wind, hydro and nuclear, yes, but every solar panel installed in non-mediteranean European country has been a tragic waste of taxpayer's money (giving the panels to Greece or Arab/African countries would have been a much better investment, by an order of magnitude)

yes you are right - it is built completely from scratch. Does have some similarities to other agent packages, but we have some unique aspects especially in terms of tracing information flow between many steps and thereby creating the idea of "data-chained" manuscripts (that you can click each result and go back all the way to the specific code lines).
also, we have a special code-running environment that catches many different types of common improper uses of imported statistical packages.

Java is my favorite language, but this is simply untrue. Many people are confused about how object references work, problems with null are very common, generic type erasure can be _very_ confusing, and there are plenty of other rough edges.

That said, Java does get a lot of undeserved hate. It's really quite a pleasant language and it has evolved a lot over the last 10 years.
Makedeb and Makedeb Package Repository (MPR): AUR for Debian and Derivatives
makedeb, originally called Debian User Repository (DUR) is an AUR clone for Debian derivatives. Packages use the PKGBUILD format just as in Arch, and is mostly similar, but with changes such as use of package names based on Debian.

It also tries to support distribution specific changes, but I don't have much details on how effective it is. I don't use a Debian derivative system myself.

You cannot view the PKGBUILDs from the site, but you can clone the git repo which will contain just the PKGBUILD. The MPR subdomain and git clones seemed laggy to me, but it eventually loads (took about ~18s).
One surprising tricky part of encrypting "live input" protocols (like typing send over a shell) is that just encrypting them is not enough.

You can use timing of packages send to e.g. extract passwords.

(hence why SSH clients normally take additional precautions)

Maven and Gradle both have a learning curve, but IMO they're better than what exists for C/C++ (which really don't have _any_ standard dependency management).
For context, the reason this exists is air con in offices in Japan are set high something like 27/28C.

ThreadLocal can be another problem.
Tomcat kills and recreates threads for this reason.

Edit: another one is swapping code by swapping class loaders. That can retain static references in the runtime class loader.
Germany's problem is they are hopelessly tied to fossil fuels. Any replacement (nuclear or renewable) would crater their heavy industry. Northern Europe is not a place for heavy industry in a post-fossil fuel world economy; they are at a grave disadvantage compared to sunnier locations closer to the equator.
Ukraine loses some land. People there are tortured, brainwashed, scared into submission and drafted to Russian army. Russia rebuilds its stocks. In 3-5 years Russia invades again and the situation repeats.

This already happened in 2014. If we let Russia sell this war as a victory to its population - they will repeat it again.

The problem isn't what happens immediately after "diplomatic solution". The problem is that the end result is war anyway, just easier for Russia. That's why Ukrainians don't want it.

Appeasing dictators never works out.

> You need to read them again. They explain that the overarching purpose of urban renewal/the ISHS was to transfer wealth from black urbanites to newly-crowned white suburbanites.

They don’t say that. The two academic papers you linked say that was their effect. And the blog posts you linked above don’t offer any proof for their assertions of motivation. For example, the article about Seattle cites statements by Robert Moses in New York City with no attempt to connect the two.

> The highways would not have been built if they couldn't raze poor and/or black or minority neighborhoods (it should be noted that many were thriving economically, if unconnected politically),

Again, we know that’s not true because highways were built through cities that had no significant minority populations. What minorities were they trying to oppress when they built freeways through Düsseldorf? https://twitter.com/SDuct/status/1456590650112159746. What minorities are they trying to oppress in Cairo where they’re building freeways through downtown? https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2020/10/08/....

Japan built expressways through Tokyo—one of the most racially homogenous large cities in the world—in the 1950s as well: https://tourism-road.or.jp/drive_guide_en/%E3%81%93%E3%81%93.... Who were they trying to oppress?

You’re the one who is horribly misinformed, trying to project an America-centric racial narrative onto something that was a global phenomenon driven by people’s preferences for the low density living enabled by cars.

Didn’t PS1 also lack perspective corrected texture mapping? That would definitely make textures wobbly. AFAIK they compensated for it simply by using as finely subdivided geometry as possible (which wasn’t very finely, really).
Right, I should have been more careful with the word "exactly". I don't think the proposed solution can be implemented, though.

If the "keepassxc" package is to be replaced by the two alternatives ("keepassxc-full" and "keepassxc-minimal"), you'd still need a transitional dummy package named "keepassxc". That package would depend on "keepassxc-full | keepassxc-minimal", giving the user a choice to satisfy the dependency by installing either of those. So far so good. What if the user doesn't explicitly choose, though? The idea is that an upgrade would keep the "-full" variant but "apt install keepassxc" would pull in the "-minimal" variant. How do you encode this in Debian package metadata?

I think both "apt install" and "apt full-upgrade" will simply choose the first alternative, so you get either "-full" in both scenarios, or "-minimal" in both.
experimental archaeologists (forget the names, sorry) drilling egyptian granite with egyptian sand† found that copper tube drills work better than bronze tube drills, presumably because copper is, as the machinists say, 'gummier'

so while you're right that copper is much less useful than bronze for most tools, here the tool we're talking about is one of the exceptions

they also tried tubular reeds, with and without water. those didn't work at all

the egyptian state seems to predate not just tin bronze or even arsenical bronze but even copper tools, at least in egypt

If you're using interfaces correctly with strong contracts, the concrete implementation shouldn't matter.

This falls apart very quickly if your implementations don't match the contract.

Guice can be quite pleasant (though confusing at first) since it makes it easy to test your code and easily swap out implementations of classes, e.g. for dev vs prod.
Creative Commons isn't one license, it's six. There's a handful of clauses that can be mixed and matched to form a license:

* BY: Attribution requirement, every CC license has this

* SA: Share-alike, aka "copyleft", RMS-style "virality"[0] but without a source code requirement since that is impractical outside of software.

* NC: NonCommercial, license only covers not-for-profit usecases and filesharing

* ND: License does not allow derivative works

These can be combined like so:

* CC-BY

* CC-BY-SA <- This one was used by StackOverflow!

* CC-BY-ND

* CC-BY-NC

* CC-BY-NC-SA

* CC-BY-NC-ND

Only the first two are "RMS compatible" licenses.

[0] Copyright is already viral, share-alike/copyleft clauses just patch the virus to attack itself. It's the "treating your leukemia with HIV" of licensing.
How would we train the LLM to actually decode it though? Don't we need some way to weigh the results?

This seems no different than it’s always been. Even before Wikipedia you would not cite secondary sources. But you sure would use them to get a foothold on a topic and find some of those sources.
That's quite surprising to me. As someone who writes a lot of Javascript, I usually find it easiest to read with this syntax than without it, and I generally recommend to my team that they use the shorthand where they can. This is because the meaning is clear and well-known, and being concise (while still being clear) is very valuable.

I wonder what specifically the original author found made it more difficult to read. Was it unfamiliarity? They allude to some confusion between sigils and strings, so I wonder if the issue was partly an Elixir-specific one.
I can see that. A lot of things tend to be bimodal in their distribution. Let's hope she becomes a runaway success then :).

And if not, it's not like she lost her ability to do proposal management. If it gets to that point, I'm sure she could find a well-paying job again if need be.

She's got a lot more practice with those interviews than I do, in fact, since she would interview when recruiters contacted her with a potentially better-paying job even if she wasn't really looking at the moment, whereas I tend to ignore recruiters when I'm not actively looking (or at least debating if I should start looking).

Nah, definitely is in places that are using nat gas for heating in particular.

Thanks for the input! Some time ago I wanted to make some simple canvas animation into a video (output of some sensor data), but the animation should take about 5++ minutes to play, real time to the sensor values.

The decrement also needs to be in a "finally" exception handler.

There's also a problem when taking a reference to the contents of an object - that reference can survive the release of the object.
Have you looked at "new". Stuff arrives every few seconds (not so much on a Sunday). Someone has to contribute early and there must be something which catches your interest. "When a man is tired of HN he is tired of life" as Samuel Johnson didn't say.
Back in the day gamedevs (and demosceners) used a merely 256-entry LUT for sin and cos – it was convenient to have byte-sized angles that auto-wraparound, and for rotation in 2D games, 2^8 was quite enough. Wouldn’t get you very far in 3D though if you want smooth motion.
Land is not a problem in land-rich nations like Russia or Canada, of the US for that matter. It is however a problem in Europe where distances are shorter, population density is higher and so are the land values and thus both direct & shadow costs associated with infrastructure development.
It's not a completely useless idea. LLMs are pretty good at relating parallel concepts to each other. If we could annotate the whale speak with behavioral data we might catch something we'd otherwise have missed. Since whale children need to start (almost) from scratch, it sounds worthwhile to tap into that for teaching an LLM alongside a real whale infant.
> And it does that without adding a bunch of crap. Or at least I find that crap easy to ignore. But ya, they do seem to be adding a lot of crap.

You're pretty sure? Well, that's convinced me. (/s)

I'm not going to debate this topic here, but for what it's worth you're coming across as somebody who has chosen their stance and is cherry-picking their evidence and anecdotes to suit their biases.

While I agree with your suspicion that a lot of animals are more intelligent than most give them credit for, you're not arguing for that viewpoint well. You might want to revisit how you make your points.

I think it could take some time before Softbank find the next big well-funded buyer for Arm. Referencing another Softbank deal with Boston Dynamics, which was acquired by Softbank in June 2017. Softbank finally sold 80% of its share to Hyundai group in June 2021 (~4 years), also the deal includes some interesting put option that requires Boston Dynamics to go IPO by June 2025, giving Softbank a chance to sell off its remaining 20% stake. Otherwise, Hyundai is required to buy the last 20% from Softbank by June 2026. Who could be the potential buyer of Arm?

Very good summary, and thanks for bringing up the license distinction, the noisysockets core library will always be MPL-2.0 and open to the community.

The fundamental thesis behind noisy sockets is, "What if your network endpoints were processes instead of machines?"

And as you say bypassing the host networking stack actually brings a lot of benefits (eg. avoiding those VPN leak shenanigans), it's actually interesting when you squint enough it begins to even look vaguely something like QUIC (in that you have multiple encapsulated streams/channels/sockets going over UDP with their own congestion control).

Peer discovery and NAT traversal are next on my list. I'm going to implement a kind of userspace lighthouse peer that will advertise peer endpoints to the network. I'm still trying to think about how I will deal with TURN/DERP. I suspect I'll tunnel WireGuard over WebSockets and just have each peer listen on UDP/TCP. Maybe one day that will allow even an in browser peer with WASM (which I'm sure someone will find an interesting use case for).

Also on the list is fine grained authentication/authorization (interestingly netstack has an iptables implementation), some of it will be opensource and some of it will be source available (sorry for the SSO tax).
