so many fails in such a short response. Assuming someone's profession based on almost nothing, general stereotyping, armchair mental diagnosis, insult based on 'diagnosis' that's needless and honestly irrelevant. Reminds me of the common backhanded insult on reddit, "you must be a blast at parties"

What kind of pilot would be taken seriously if they mix up such a basic aspect of professional knowledge? Jets and prop planes are very different beasts.

I can't think of any job where you can just casually mix up different classes of objects and not eventually have it result in some significant failure.

"Why did you feed the mules and not the horses?" "Don't be so autistic. I bet you're a blast a parties"

"Why did you give me cheeseburgers? The customer ordered plain burgers." "Don't be so autistic. I bet you're a blast at parties"

Yes, being specific about the things you work with is generally a sign that someone is good at their job, but it generally doesn't have much to do with autism. But I guess being condescending is what makes a good cocktail party companion?
SEEKING WORK, Croatia, remote work is preferred (EU, US, Asia).
I've got 6 years of experience as a DevOps engineer, and I have my own entity in Croatia through which I do contracting. I consider my self to be an engineer that focuses on fundamentals, rather than just knowing a technology or a cloud vendor. I've got a good understanding of programming, linux, networking and system architecture. In a true DevOps fashion, I'm open to doing pretty much anything that is required: coding, automating, managing IAM, doing sys admin stuff, Kubernetes etc...

I'm very flexible and i preferre open communication and to have clear ownership.

If anybody is interested feel free to contact me and I'll forward you my CV. (benjamin.kusen@gmail.com)

GraalVM’s interpreter, AST, etc is also written in Java, so there is a warm-up for these as well. Also, the memory representation has to be somewhat generic, and can’t be over-optimized for Javascript specifically. Add to it that JS has multiple tiers of interpreters, JIT compilers (I believe there are 3 at the moment?), all made specifically for JS, so it’s not really possible to compete with that here, while remaining general.

If everything goes well this year then New Glenn took 8 years until the first flight. Meanwhile if starship launches any payload next year it will have taken 6. Launching unfinished rockets looks good on TV, but it only demonstrates your ability to manufacture quickly, not your ability to build a functioning rocket quickly. For the latter, only the final rocket matters so you can just skip the unfinished test articles.

This old space and new space distinction is really perplexing on on a tech focused site like Hacker News. You do realize that you want to avoid as many silicon tapeouts as possible, right? Getting things working flawlessly on first try is important. The current iterations of starship might look like they can fly, but Starship is suffering from underperformance. They will have to build "Version 2" to fix that and that means new engines on a bigger fuselage so the current starship is not representative of what they are actually going to launch, meaning further delays are possible.
Hospitals are not "peaceful relaxing environments". They are large scale industrial operations designed to process as many people as possible. There simply aren't enough resources to afford every single person a "relaxing environment". You do the best you can for as many as you can.

If you're a multibillionaire then obviously you can just hire and equip your own private medical team that will focus 100% of their attention and care exclusively on you and your needs. The vast majority of the humans will never have that luxury. Normal people enter the system and are processed like everyone else.

A bridge if built a certain way can become a wall. And walls have their special spot in history for some of the worst things that ever happened.

So yeah, with the right (or rather: wrong) mindset you can make bridges unethical. I'd argue you could make anything unethical if you tackle it with enough destructive energy.

The fascinating thing with the right is, that their goals¹ are so unethical, they know that just openly defending why you did a certain thing won't fly. So it is always some harmless excuse, always somebody elses fault, always by accident rather than by design. While the rest of society takes truth, open discourse and compromise as ways of finding common ground, these people see truth and discourse as a weakness, they would rather rule than represent.

¹: getting "rid" of people they have othered, while finding new people to other so people stay unified (which is not a sustainable approach as history has shown)

To be honest, safety of childbirth in the public health system is as political as it gets.

If the current government (either on purpose or by incompetence) made the public health system worse for childbirth, they should absolutely be held accountable by entities such as newspapers. Hell, it's one of the main reasons newspapers exist, to held governments accountable.

Maybe a public service dating app makes sense. The alignment of incentives are all wrong for private dating apps. They obviously lose when you find someone and pair up so they're incentivised not to find a match.

Looking at that map of sites in France alone, randomly distributed is a good first approximation for figuring out the probability.

Pondered the estimation a bit more. The first two points of a group of 7 define a line. The probability of the remaining five being close enough to the line is just the probability of each being close enough, to the power of five. We can roughly estimate that probability as the "close enough" distance divided by the total area. Let's just normalize. Let's assume distribution within a unit square Some of the lines would not cut in a way that most of the "close enough" area is inside the box, but that's a constant factor and not to big.

Given n points and the probability p7 that seven points lie close enough to a line, we take the number of different sets of seven points, N7 = (n choose 7). The likelihood of a match is (1-(1-p7)^N7).

This is a very rough estimation, of course, but it gives some idea of the likelihood.

i don't like racism, either. i am aware that other people do like it, but i believe that their feelings on this matter are worthy of disrespect. that is precisely because my rejection of racism is a question of values
Show HN: I wrote a partial re-implementation of DirectMusic
DirectMusic[1] is a deprecated Windows API for playing dynamic music scores authored using DirectMusic Producer[2]. It was originally released as part of DirectX in 1999 and discontinued with the release in Windows Vista around 2009-ish.

Due to my involvement with projects[3] re-implementing an old game engine for the early 2000's games Gothic and Gothic II[4], I came to notice that existing solutions[5] were incorrect and hard to use. Thus, I was tasked with writing a new, correct re-implementation of the API.

Today, my re-implementation is able to (mostly) play back so-called style-based segments[6] and is fully tested against both the Gothic and Gothic II soundtracks. I am actively working on getting the Lego Island 2 soundtrack working as well.

There are many features of DirectMusic which the library does not currently support, simply because I have not been able to find or test soundtracks using them, so if you want to contribute, I'd love to know about software shipping with DirectMusic soundtracks!

> previous generations are leaving them a burning hellscape full of toxic forever chemicals and microplastics that the kids will need to clean up

Please, folks, take a step back and realize that most of what you've read about this stuff in the pop media is based on extremely speculative data, usually from weak, observational studies, or small laboratory experiments in non-human animals. The threat to your life, individually, has been greatly exaggerated. You are far more likely to die of eating too much and getting too fat than whatever microplastics are supposedly doing to you.

I'm not saying that there aren't issues here, but as someone else on this thread already noted, we're living longer than ever before. To the extent that human lifespans have declined, it's largely due to the fact that we're succumbing to diseases of lifestyle that are entirely within our control as individuals.

Worry about that, not theoretical future concerns about chemicals.
HVDC is needed when you build between two non-synchronous areas like France and UK. Also if you don't have the option to build pylons and need to go underground/underseas, AC lines will suffer from capacitive load. the longer the line gets, the more capacitive load will be present, and so you can't build very long underground/underseas AC lines.

Since HVDC has significant fixed costs, it's not relevant for shorter lines.
If anything, reality suggests the problem is in fact wealth. The poorest countries have the highest birth rates and throwing more money at this has produced quite literally zero success.

The truth is for me somewhere in the middle. Happiness and satisfaction are not absolute, they can exist only in relation to your surroundings. Thus younger people in the US might be objectively better off than people in say India, but that doesn't matter. Their surroundings are as the OP described and that dictates how they feel about the present and future day.

On physical health it's actually wrong for the US as people's physical health is deteriorating evident by the falling life expectancy.

But with all that said, the actual idea in Japan is for me pretty stupid, as I consider dating apps to be one of the reasons people are connecting less and less. The choice is too large, it's very superficial, most people want the "best" thus large number of people are out of luck.
Can you explain further or point to, how exactly wasm allows more precise timing? I also agree that the timing with JS and Webaudio is really poor, not as bad as MIDI with 24 PPQN, but I think a few years back from my experiments, the max I could get was a fluctuating 96PPQN.
