This makes me feel like it's 20 years ago and Caryn Johnson is going to appear on an and shilling this.
Excellent post! Excellent problem-solving, and very nice result!!

Taking a completely direction, my wife and I made our own wedding rings out of stainless steel (a low-nickel alloy suitable for contact with skin -- 316L, I think), and we milled them on a lathe in my employer's machine shop after hours. Nearly 20 years later, and they have held up remarkably well.

If you're going to lathe a ring, make sure you do as much shaping and polishing before you detach it from the rest of the rod, and then create a mandrel that is the correct size to hold the ring (using friction) from the other direction. Hammer it onto the mandrel, do your final burr-removal and polishing, then pop it off the hammer.

Important side note: Don't do a test-fit before taking the burr off, or else you'll slice the skin on your finger all the way 'round in a very nice ring-shaped pattern and it will be the absolute dickens to try and get it off. Maybe don't ask me how I know...
The simplest way of implementing dynamic pricing is a resale market, where the price of tickets changes based on supply and demand.
And every single time a product person will challenge the need for pagination, or any other limits that make your systems actually scalable. Sigh.
I didn't mean to imply that. What I meant to imply is that at the beginning of their appointed hour, they tune in to see if they have a message that day/week.
I was worried about the metal shrinking, but I only had to increase the size of my prints by 1.6% to get the desired ring size. eg: The PLA ring had an inner diameter of 16.8mm and the casting had a diameter of 16.5mm.

Thanks for the info about the lack of tarnish. I'm glad I won't have to do much maintenance.
Some venues do this already and the scalpers buy an additional ticket to burn on themselves so they can get their customer in the gate. It just goes into the cost of doing business. I agree this is probably one of the best ways to stop scalpers but it's not foolproof.
>> In the get method, you're returning a pointer to the element within the queue after bumping the consumer position (which frees the slot for the producer), so it can get overwritten while the user is accessing it. And then your producer and consumer positions will most likely end up in the same cache line, leading to false sharing.

I did not realize this. Thank you so much for pointing this out. I'm going to take a look.

>> use std::atomic for your producer

Yes, it is hard to get these data structures right. I used Martin Fowler's description of the LMAX algorithm which did not mention atomic. https://martinfowler.com/articles/lmax.html
I'll check out the paper.

Just sayin'.
It seems like the Australian government has an opportunity here: pass stringent money laundering laws, go aggressively after those in violation, seize any ill gained foreign-owned properties, and auction them to Australian citizens.

And start charging extremely high property tax rates on any properties which sit vacant for over six months and whose owners are not Australian or are large corporations.

I suppose this is too simplistic for some reason or other, but I'm quite serious: why not do this?
Honestly I'm surprised grub is still going post-UEFI. It's now pretty much entirely unnecessary. Your simplest path is probably UEFI-stub, where there is no extra bootloader, just your BIOS loads the kernel. The main disadvantage is this is subject to the whims of your hardware manufacturer to implement it in a usable manner. If you want a nicer menu then systemd-boot is your next simplest option (despite the name, it is actually more or less seperate from systemd apart from maintenance and systemd having some integration with it).
Because people don’t support terrorist militias shooting missiles at civilian ships? That’s why HN is garbage?
I wonder if employees across the board are silently reciprocating the lack of support from businesses by doing subpar work, given that corporations have started to run down employees in the name of expanding profits.

It feels like a new phenomenon , and it feels very wide spread.
It depends on the alias service you use (this appears to just give you another frontend to your alias service, eg, Addy.io or Firefox Relay). I know with Addy.io, forwarded emails have a special "Reply-To" header which is an address that Addy.io monitors and will forward your response back to the original sender. So replying to email delivered to your alias isn't a problem, though I think initiating an email from an alias would be tricky.
Seems like a testable hypothesis. Choose the four times a year that the stock is at a fair price, and buy when it goes below it and sell when it goes above it?
Biometrics are a non-starter. Part of the appeal of reddit is anonymity. You can post in your city's sub while getting your rocks off in some 18+ sub, from pornography to watching Russian dismemberment.

Removing gamification would be a big one. Karma farming is a big part of the bot network.
The alternative is "it just won't work". You too can live in that world by simply not trying to fix it.

My wife's Macbook won't suspend correctly when it's plugged into a Dell monitor, the monitor going into power save wakes up the laptop. I wish there was an arcane incantation that would fix it, but no, the proprietary walled garden is well locked up, with glossy user-friendly rounded corners everywhere.
Didnt know about this, and I have started to loathe Adobe due to their licensing model.

The way this is already being exploited in the wild is that a scalper/scammer buys 1 ticket, then resells the same ticket multiple times. Multiple people believe they have a valid ticket, show up at the event, but only the 1st ticket works. The other people who try to use the ticket are turned away saying that their ticket has already been used.
Fine-Tuning Bert for Protein Tasks
What I didn't really like about he parents comment is that it seems kind of "lazy" not to do your edges. My wife broker her arm recently when a kid fell over in front of her and she couldn't stop quickly. On steep icy terrain this is a concern. That was my true "fly off a cliff edge" example.

The comment seemed like a "I don't wear a helmet because it's uncool" sort of thing...just do your edges occasionally, what's the issue?
I remember when this was first announced and they were in a super alpha stage but making progress. If I remember right their team also got research/indie funding. For awhile it seemed to be ahead of 0AD which was using some weird JavaScript interpreter thing for its scripting. Gives me shudders thinking about it when I read the code for the first time.

The early 3D RTS years of Dark Reign, Earth 2015, eventually Warcraft 3 really lit a fire under peoples asses to try to make their own. It was magic to see, but the fire has unanimously died down with the genre.

It seems to me that in order for male and female brains to be functionally the same, they would need to be physically different to account for the extreme hormonal differences.

When you give a man a female dose of hormones or a woman a male dose of hormones, it has a very big effect on their mood, behavior, and mental wellbeing. This change is much, much bigger than the average diffences we see between men and women. For example, an average man with an average woman's level of testosterone will experience a MUCH higher level depression, listlessness, and sexual disinterest than the average woman experiences.

This strongly implies that human brains must correct for these huge hormonal differences. Basically, in order for male and female behavior to be similar, their brains must differ. If their brains are the same, then hormones will have a much, much bigger influence on male and female behavior than what we actually see in reality.

Hormone-correcting brain differences would also imply that it's possible for people to be born with some type of intersex brain condition, and that these individuals would benefit greatly from receiving hormone therapy to bring their hormone levels in line with their brains. And this, indeed, seems to be something we see occasionally.

(In case anyone cares or thinks it is relevant, I wish to note that I am a cisgender woman and I do not think that there are huge innate differences in men's and women's mentality — certainly nothing like on the level that testosterone/estrogen/etc levels would predict. I think most of the differences we do see are environmental, which is why these gaps have been closing in recent history — or widening in some cases/locations. Based on these trajectories, I suspect that men and women are actually FAR more similar than anyone natively groks, and that we exaggerate or invent small differences due to a biological hyperfixation with sex. Note that we don't obsess about the mental differences between, say, male and female cats, even though they have much greater sexual dimorphism than humans do.)

0.5% (as the original poster opined) is not within the 95% confidence interval of the survey. Anywhere as low as 3.2% or as high as 7.8% is within the confidence interval. I am not sure why you would knee-jerk dismiss this.

My point is that it is reasonable to expect between 3% and 8% of the MRI study participants to have been trans. It is not reasonable to think that 0.5% or less would have been trans.
It's about 60% of large venues. The 80% is Ticketmaster's share of the ticketing marketplace.

I am apparently the only one that liked the article a lot. It's certainly a lot better than the original Graeber article which to me is a masterclass in stumbling over well known paradoxes and puzzles in economics and substituting in his own deranged ideas instead of the generally accepted answers among actual economists.
We have a Samsung "smart" TV, with smarts not connected to the Internet. We hook it up to a Roku box. When we turn the TV on it splashes a banner encouraging us to connect. It disappears after 15 seconds or so.

I have no problem with the Roku box, but this makes me happy I didn't buy a Roku TV, and that I've never attached the TV itself to the Internet. My next streaming box will be an Apple TV, but as of now I'm in no hurry.
That confusion does make this exact obstinate/persistent terminology tricky for conversations outside this particular HN thread, though. Which is a shame, because the underlying distinction as you've laid it out is very important.
FWIW I have a TCL Roku TV running 13.0.0 and don’t seem to be impacted by this. Motion smoothing is definitely not enabled when watching Hulu/Netflix/HBO.

If I go to picture settings, I see the option for Roku Smart Picture, but it’s not enabled.
>> why not do this?

It's simple.

Both the major political parties in Australia WANT this outcome.

Most politicians have extensive property portfolios. House prices going to the moon is going to mak them all unbelievably wealthy.

Successive governments on both sides have avoided implementing Tranche 2 anti money laundering regulations for decades for the simple reason that the property industry makes vast money from criminal cash, and in Australia the property lobby is extremely influential.

Australian politicians don't serve the Australian people, they serve the financial donors, vested interests and themselves.
You say it's easier in Rust, but you still have a complete C++ implementation and not a Rust one. :)
Update: had a friend with access send me a PDF of the study and looked through it. It seems that the big breakthrough is only half AI — the other half being looking directly at time series of fMRIs instead of static images with features in them manually selected for relevance, because how the various circuits in the brain operate and circulate over time is important information. Also they got this to replicate well with the same people at different times, and also generalize to two other cohorts, consistently, and also used XAI to check what the AI was keying off, to make sure it wasn't going off something nonsensical, and directly used those features with success as well. It seems like an extremely carefully controlled and designed study tbh.
Redundancy reduces likelihood of bugs. Your numbers example would too but it's obviously too much work for not enough benefit.

This approach sounds similar to Petitboot <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/petitboo...> which is a kexec-based bootloader that I used on the Playstation 3 many years ago. Apparently it now targets many other systems and there is a (dead?) fork for Coreboot <https://github.com/ArthurHeymans/petitboot_for_coreboot>.
Yep. Despite what Redhat would have folks believe, xorg works fine and will continue to work fine for the foreseeable future.

Plus, if one wants things like functional screen readers, suitable-for-video-games Vulkan frame pacing [0], and many other things that you'd think would be table stakes for a project that's been running for at least 15 years, one's only choice on Linux is xorg.

[0] The only reason the Steam Deck isn't a disaster is because Valve has been carrying a patch for a "Make frame pacing not garbage" extension that the Wayland people have been refusing to merge in for the past two+ years.
The last statement is completely wrong; there were many avenues to study foreign languages, either for adults or children. Children could attend schools that specialized in foreign language instruction, and extracurricular classes were also available. Same went for adults that could study languages as full-time students, or attend after-work classes, or participate in a directed self-study. Private tutoring was easy to find in major metro centers. I have to mention though that the quality of foreign language education in regular schools was dismal. While in school, I participated in an after-school study group that studied Spanish under a guidance of a university professor (for free), and a part-time job that I took over the summer allowed me to pay for French tutoring. My school had an exchange program with schools in Manchester, with plenty of opportunities to become fluent in English.

Speaking of a middle class, it was not unusual that a factory worker's salary exceeded that of a high-school teacher with a university diploma.

In the "what do we have so far?" slide they explain there are currently two variants of NMBL, one that does a switch_root (like a normal initramfs) and one that does kexec (to boot into a new kernel). It presents a menu for the user to select what to boot. It also will allow rolling back to the old version when boot fails.

I see some other comments in this thread about hypothetically supporting booting other UEFI targets and some ideas on how that would be implemented.

There is a question in the video about chainloading around 27 minutes -- https://youtu.be/ywrSDLp926M?t=1640 but the answer isn't clear to me - "setting FE variables". Is that frontend? firmware environment?
> Scalping aside, TicketMaster is taking massive fees each time the same ticket is sold. For example, I went to an event last year and the fee was $50 on each ticket, and these were reseller tickets so TicketMaster had already taken a fee on each of those tickets at least once already (perhaps more than once).

So your evidence is that you were charged a $50 fee on a separate transaction that didn't involve TicketMaster?

This is not the compelling evidence that you think it is.
But somehow I feel like you're here to argue for the right to pay nothing for the labor of these people.

If it sucks so much, why do you care if they lock it with DRM?
No, it's not. At my work here we'll all go online to try and get tickets to a big gig. One of us might get in, so that person will get ~8 tickets or whatever the maximum is. And then we split them between us, transfering over cash etc. If we have a few left over we'll sell them to friends for the ticket value.

But none of us have any intention of lining up with the others to get in. We want to go with our partners, our own friends etc.

I want Bob, Terry or Bazzy to by able to buy tickets for me (or me for Bob, Terry or Bazza) but I do not want to have to meet up with Bob, Terry and Bazza and stand in line with them all to get in.

So yea, it's not trivial. I wish it was, I farkin' hate scalpers.
Not sure why loaders are a separate beast any more.

In the bad old days, ROMs had very limited space. Lots of bootloader packages got invented, tiny things that knew just enough about ROM and the filesystem to get the 'real' code loaded, maybe un-zipped, maybe unencrypted. Later, some network-boot options which were handy.

Today? The boot flash is huge (compared to ROMs). You can put an entire OS in there! In fact, nowadays the bootloader is often a flash partition right next to other OS images.

I assert, there's nothing that a bootloader can do that an entire OS e.g. Linux image can't do. Just build a linux image, put a boot-script in there to allow network-boot or reboot-from-another-partition. And be done with it - no more u-boot, no more obscure bootloaders with limited drivers and options.

The day of the bootloader is over.

> Laws that have broad support are passed quickly. Laws that lack broad support are passed slowly or not at all.

> That how lawmaking should work!

Yes, agreed!

However, there is another category of laws, those which have very broad support from The People, but don't benefit the politicians (such as, a law restricting bribes).

Such laws will never pass.
What are you going to say in an interview when they ask you to describe your Java experience?
The Q&A mentions this[1] and says Petitboot requires two kernels (one minimal one + one normal one). NMBL just uses one single kernel for both steps.

Another printer lifehack: Goodwill (which has a 'computer' store near me, they send all the best tech stuff there) sells laser printers of all kinds for like $20-40 and that plus a $20 Amazon non-official cartridge will basically have you set for life for the occasional print job. Since they're heavy, the Goodwill route saves most of the cost compared to eBay, though I did get mine on eBay.

I actually recommend HP but Brother is great too. My current HP is at least 10 years old, and it's the second I've owned. My first was a 2000 vintage which I used from 2005-2017. (Its rubber rollers eventually got dried out and I wasn't as skilled a refurbisher as I fancied myself)

> The investors who got rich through Boeing have cashed in a long time ago.

I don't know which investors you mean, and what you mean by "a long time", but I think people that cashed in a long time ago should be able to invest in new firms. Many people say the culture and safety issues at Boeing stems from the McDonnell Douglas merger which was admittedly a generation ago now. But if the estates of Frank Shrontz or Thorton Wilson or the great great grand kids of William Boeing want to invest in a new firm -- good for them? None of them were involved in the period when this fraud occurred, and if they had actually cashed out long ago then they weren't even shareholders in a position to pressure Boeing officers to do anything different.

But there's also no reason they would have any kind of leg up over anyone else in making such an investment today.
