I am a Syntopical Reading

The fourth and most difficult level of reading is syntopical reading.

It is the most complex and systematic type of reading of all. It makes very heavy demands on the reader, even if the materials he is reading are themselves relatively easy and unsophisticated. Another name for this level might be comparative reading. When reading syntopically, the reader reads many books, not just one, and places them in relation to one another and to a subject about which they all revolve. But mere comparison of texts is not enough. … With the help of the books read, the syntopical reader is able to construct an analysis of the subject that may not be in any of the books. It is obvious, therefore, that syntopical reading is the most active and effortful kind of reading.

Thanks! I missed that in the wiki article. Replication crisis put me on the right path.

Oakland has non-emergency 911 calls redirect to file online. It’s certainly a problem when crime outstrips resources.
People have been moving from California to AZ since before 2000. We get plenty of people from all around the US. I generally don't want to care about California's policies because focusing on Arizona's policies is more practical, but I do wish California and Nevada would waste less water. We take water security seriously because a lack of water is a meaningful threat. That stuff requires long-term planning that puts safety first instead of optimizing for profit.
I still don’t see any lie. You can have demography bias you for results and also take action for results, these aren’t mutually exclusive.
OP's extension simply uses the `chrome.contentSettings.images` API, which you've always been able to set manually in the standard browser settings. It never disappeared (chrome://settings/content/images).
Must be a lot of water out there to support people.
I think you're looking for chrome://settings/content/images
But the successors still have stuff iTunes don't have, and there's even new uploads of old releases that What didn't have ;)
Private trackers are great for FLAC files.
People make decisions for dumb reasons.

It’s sad to see retirees burning their retirement savings to move to Florida, only to return to civilization when their health fails, or dying early for lack of care.
What about mentorship at work?
Sure. Ok. Let me rephrase.

Then why is there demand? Why do humans want to live in a desolate desert without water? It isn't logical. Maybe allergies are better for a few people. That doesn't explain why companies would commit. Why would semiconductor companies build plants here.
Comparing to the speed of a direct boolean check is a great way to sensationalize really small numbers.

Nobody's real-world code is being slowed down by 500% because all real world code is doing much more than just checking errors. All I see from these results is a 15-16ns cost to using errors.Is versus an additional boolean.

Even the examples ("GetValue") hint at an extremely common use case: reads from a data store. A case where single-digit milliseconds is considered "all good performance-wise" for the most common SQL databases, clocking in at 100000x the time scale of errors.Is.
Ask HN: I'm planning to build AI agents for auditing web app security

1. AI lacks the creativity
2. AI accessing tools

But for LinkedIn and other sites, I still have to turn it on sometimes. But only for a few minutes. So I have the auto disable feature.
The part of Root I use is Cling the C++ interpreter along with Xeus in a Jupyter notebook. I decided one night to test the fastest n-body from benchmarkgames comparing Xeus and Python 3. With Xeus I get 15.58 seconds and running the fastest Python code with Python3 kernel, both on binder using the same instance, I get 5 minutes. Output is exactly the same for both runs. Even with an overhead tax for running dynamic C++ at ~300% for this program Cling is very quick. SIMD and vectorization were not used just purely the code from benchmarkgames. I use Cling primarily as a quick stand-in JIT for languages that compile to C++.
> One 64k T1 channel, so 14% more fun.

A ton less latency, though. T1 connectivity still felt snappy for web browsing long after cable modems pushed up average available bandwidth because the latency was so much better.
There is a huge market for cheaper cars. But, that market is also served by used cars, which are larger and more comfortable.

Used cars outsell new cars by about 3:1 in the US. And if you look at the actual sales figures for the cheapest new cars on the US market, the situation is clear: buyers prefer nicer used cars to minimalistic new cars.
This is exactly what this extension does

This seems anathema to a location that is under threat of not enough water. If a city is willing to slow down construction because they don't have to water to support the growth, I can't imagine this is an accepted practice that you are actually promoting.
I haven't seen / heard of this happening! Appreciate you mentioning it here. Can you give me an example of the workflow that caused this?

At the least we should just pause recording in this case...
That's essentially why I gravitated to it, yeah. To me, Git submodules are a pretty generalized and elegant solution to the question of "how do I model a directory of files as an immutable data structure". If you know the commit hash of the submodule, you know exactly what is going to be in there. That kind of certainty is very helpful when trying to code up tricky data cleaning and the like.
I still don't know what point you are trying to make or refute.

If you asking why I think it is completely unrealistic to expect a 50% decline on a short timeline, there are tons of reasons. You have to ask why housing prices doubled, and ask how easy or likely those underlying conditions are to reverse.

1) First, US GDP/capita went up by 60% in those 11 years.[1]

2) Similarly, US inflation in those 11 years was 40% [2]

3) US urban population increased by 25 million in those 11 years [3]

4) Construction costs/sqft are up about 90% in those 11 years [4]

5) More generally, Most Americans have 30 year fixed rate mortgages. This means they can and will avoid selling at a loss, so prices are sticky.

These are all factors without "quick fixes". Slow change can happen, but the fundamentals are sticky. If my house burnt down, it would cost $1M in materials and labor to replace.

One just amplifies the other. It's not an either/or issue. Even if you are trying to be snarky.
Seconded, though I've found the HF Hercules wired line pretty comparable to Dewalt.

But there's a fair amount of inter-model variety within those four/five brands. My 12v Dewalt impact punches above its weight/price and I have two Bosch 18v drills, similar in form factor but one is frankly inferior quality.

Many moons ago I'd bootstrapped a Linux install on a circa-1990 laptop which afforded a floppy drive, serial, and parallel ports, but no innate networking (a 32-bit PCMCIA network card was later possible but required drivers and/or kernel support to be compiled).

I'd pieced together the install by splitting a tar.gz across multiple floppy transfers, then enabled SLIP and zmodem which permitted copying uu-encoded files for further support, then SLIP and PLIP. The latter was particularly useful as I could sustain multiple simultaneous network connections: both an SSH session and scp'ing across files for further support, rather than running a console under minicom. SLIP was bound at somewhere around 9600 AFAIR, fine for a terminal session, but cramping my style for file transfers. (It may have been faster, 38,400 and 56k are available modem rates.) PLIP IIRC was at or approaching Mb/s speeds, which was (comparatively) blazing.

Though the sheer audacity of copy-pasting uuencoded files through minicom had a certain coolness factor.
I've seen Go code faster than Rust one, for example there was an interesting article years ago about counting words in a file:

I think the correct thing to do would be to stop sharing news.

I just don't see how a site about the latest drama, crime, war, or tragedy happening at the moment anywhere on the planet or on the Internet can be good for anyone's mental health.

If you asked me, I'd say more social media should strive to be like Pinterest, where people don't share their wordy opinions nobody will be better off reading, they just share pictures of things that interest them (or in many cases pictures of products they're selling).

Like, if you're a gamer, which is the better site: one that keeps telling you about the latest drama among Twitch streamers, or one that just had 30 screenshots and short video clips of various games displayed on screen at the same time?

It’s the opposite. Writing and effective communication are the best use of your time.

People write company blogs only when required. That’s true. But it is incumbent on management to make that an incentive. Good technical blogs will attract talent when you want to hire.

For you - it’s a public validation of your job skills. 3 in-depth blogs will carry a lot more weight than a resume.

For the company - it’s a place to advertise the kind of work done to hire talented devs.
Sounds like both?

Awk v1.0 user guide (1996)
There are many reasons.

The difficulty of the problem. Small accidents. (Say the way control keys work differently from MacOS than most OS.). Trying to satisfy the expectations of many different users. Getting high in their own supply. No real competition. People get used to it. The corruption that comes with advertising. Management and developers with fixed ideas. Fanboys. Systems that don’t work for users can be more profitable than those that do work (see match.com). Failing to capture small opportunities because they aren’t large enough. Internal conflicts in organizations.

These connect: “getting high on your own supply” is connected with “advertising” and “fanboys”.

Your options as a consumer are

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty

and “exit”. Loyalty in the other hand is bad for you. I remember when Google came up with the thoroughly boring (competent and refined today if still flawed) Material Design and there were people who wanted to tattoo it on themselves or make their whole house up in Material Design. You hear from some macers that they would rather put their hand in a toilet than use Windows but the same folks seem to be spending most of their time at the Genius Bar.

Reward success. I pay for Jetbrains IDEs because they are a refined product and I am not the product.
What a lot of people are missing in all this is that Microsoft is coming from one, dialing it up to eleven to then dial it back to 9.

By pushing this onto people in a hard way they open the door to come up with a mitigating solution that later is far beyond what we had before recall but not as bad as what they pushed onto people in the first place. So they will reach their goal, as it was never 11, it was always 9.
Exactly, and without the likes of the Internet Archive, even the open web isn't safe. I think like most history preservation efforts today, you have to be really intentional about it given the sheer amount of information and noise. This isn't like centuries ago when everything public was a few periodicals and newspapers and books, accessible through very known channels.

"Are early stage investors and venture capitalists better than an algorithm? This paper suggests that the answer to that question is ‘no’. Although venture capitalists outperform the broad stock market quite significantly, most of this overperformance is driven by only a subset of their investments. An algorithm can prune out the investments that are ‘predictably bad’. This increases returns by approximately 7–41%, creating an even larger magnitude of outperformance versus the stock market. The author believes the reason for the poor investment decisions is the over-weighing of the characteristics of the founders of startups. Interestingly, I wonder if there is a repeated interaction component that might be at play – if you back the founder during a failed investment, the founder might accept you as an investor in the future when they’ll have a more successful investment."

From Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controvers...:

"In November 2022, CBS News published the results of a forensic analysis they commissioned of a copy of the laptop data Mac Isaac initially handed to federal investigators in 2019. The analysis, conducted by Computer Forensics Services, found data, including over 120,000 emails, "consistent with normal, everyday use of a computer", found "no evidence that the user data had been modified, fabricated or tampered with", and found no new files created on the laptop after April 2019, when Mac Isaac received the laptop. The chief technology officer of Computer Forensics Services added: "I have no doubt in my mind that this data was created by Hunter Biden, and that it came from a computer under Mr. Biden's control". Also on November 21, CBS News published the first photograph of the damaged Macbook Pro, which had been provided to them by Hunter Biden's legal team.

According to reports on January 16, 2024, new filings by the U.S. Department of Justice's special counsel, headed by David C. Weiss, appear to be the first public confirmation of the laptop's authenticity by the DOJ. The filings refer to the laptop connected to Hunter Biden stating, “the defendant’s Apple MacBook Pro, which he had left at a computer store.”"

Is that fake news?
good luck with that. I don't think there is a country on the planet with such radical communism. Maybe some locations at the height of the cold war.

I dont think it is cool that my house costs so much to produce, It would be great if it could be produced more cheaply.

What does this mean? did you leave out several words?

It was so hard for me to actually do that as a kid. You basically wake up, off to school, off to extracurricular, off to dinner, off to homework, and off to bed if you want a chance at 8 hours of sleep. Five days a week of that and your parents probably fill up your weekends for you. Oh and I worked in high school so that was shoehorned in somehow.

Staying up late cutting into sleep time was the only time of day I actually had any agency. College in contrast was amazing for sleep. No one pestering me out of rem because I was allowed to sleep in until my body said I had enough for the first time in my life. Even now after college I rarely get the luxury to sleep in anymore, and I mean really sleep in like until almost noon.
The article states the opposite.

Could someone please explain why the low frequency means the bandwidth is limited to 1 bps? Why can't the signal be turned on and off more times per second to transmit at a higher rate?
either it was NIMBYs preventing construction in their neighborhoods or the goods in the warehouse represent a small fraction of all they’ve ever stolen. given the scale being stored, I think they’re a fence, not the thieves themselves, which means they paid upfront for all those tools, which means they must be selling quite a bit to have that cash available for reinvestment.
lots of the content so far looks like it's LLM generated. lots as in, every one i clicked on
being cool isn't the key point. The fact that you need better documentation is the problem.

Did I ever read a manual or look up docs for MacOS, windows, iOS, or android?

No. That's what's missing from open source. Well it's not missing, but it's like the lowest priority such that it takes a looong time for something that's open source to approach this level of user friendliness.
No no no, that isn't bikeshedding, what you're describing is being dismissive.
This is a very well stated and accurate depiction of how wasm has evolved over the years & I couldn’t agree more with your recommendation.

WASI 0.1 should really be improved however necessary to increase secure POSIX compatibility— I think it’s already good enough, and implemented widely, but would be happy to see more APIs in it as long as it doesn’t sacrifice the security of many use cases of wasm.

I agree that WASI 0.2 is too far of a leap from this, creating an entirely new conceptual system in top of wasm, that is not compatible with the standard at all, and will damage the overall wasm ecosystem by fracture.

WASI 0.2 and Component Model are Bytecode Alliance projects and should be collocate in their own GitHub org. Associating them in the WebAssembly org is irresponsible and conveys a false alignment with the overall community and reality of Wasm standards.
Richer people are happier, healthier, live longer, less stressed, and have a better quality of life. Is this a surprise to anyone?
Maybe I made it seem like I was implying that’s a universal rule.

What I meant was many people jumped to say it was only money that caused people not to travel. Everyone knows a friend like mine. I have no idea of the breakdown, but my personal experience makes me want to question the idea it’s always all money.

Absolutely not would I give Apple a free pass either. They can say all the nice things they want about protecting my privacy, but I do not trust any commercial entity will act in my best interest. Especially when they all have government requirements to hand over my data when a cop asks nicely.

What's the math here? Austria gets 2-3 times as many tourists per capita, but consumes 20% less. Tourists spent 56 million nights in Czechia in 2023, while the 10 million residents presumably spend a bit less than 365 nights in the country: how big of an impact could there be?

I can see how the argument would apply to certain cities or resort regions, i.e. I bet Palma de Mallorca has a much higher daily consumption during the summer season than in the winter.
>Big, structural changes such as better access to affordable healthcare, expanding income-support programs like the child tax credit, and implementing mental-health programs in schools would go a long way to ending the sleep-deprivation doom loop.

All of these exist in some places and don't in others, in varying degrees, so in theory a study should be able to look at the effects.

Or different departments pushing responsibility to each other...

I had a break in. Thieves took my check books, and tried to cash one in at a payday loan place at a neighbouring city. The payday place called me, and of course, I told them not to.

I called my police department with additional information, and they told me to file a report in the neighbouring city instead... And of course, the other police department told me to file with my police department as the original crime did not take place in their city...

And oh, I also had airtags that were taken so I knew which building the thieves took my stuff to. But because it is a multi-tenant building, the police wouldn't do anything. I offered to trigger the sound to narrow it down, but they didn't allow that either... Eventually, the thieves found the airtags and threw them out.

Anyway, I contacted my representatives to give police more help to help in cases like mine, but crickets is what I heard back. Not even an acknowledgement.
Yeah, it's a good idea. But sometimes, a developer's job is just a conveyor belt of features, making it hard to find a mentor who can help.
