The status quo of where the top parties go is a consequence of the voter's attitudes, because of the vote they don't actually have the power to just force an unpopular option. The reason they are presenting policies you don't like is because they think (probably accurately) that they will win them more votes than they lose. If a top party were to not do this, they would quickly lose relevance, ceding dominance to the other party and then setting the stage for another party to gain power. A third option doesn't actually reasonably exist, in any voting system, unless the electorate and parties reach this state, it's just FPTP needs tactical voting to reach accurate representation (even in systems which result in many parties in government, you will have coalitions which form compromises and you get voters who did not get much at all of what they voted for).
I've had no problems on accounts with small spend. Filling in the explanation box well is the key.

The recent surge in AI has GPUs in high demand, and may have changed things. Everyone is short on what they want and there is competition. Supply/demand at work, sounds like they may be raising the bar for accounts without existing usage or sufficient spend
I googled LED light efficiency what percentage of electricity becomes heat and looks like only about 20% of the input is wasted as heat?

So a 15W LED light would only need 3W of cooling? It feels even more ridiculous when we put the numbers like this... There is no excuse for LED lights to not have adequate cooling or for them to fail because of overheating...

> This means that about 80 percent of the electrical energy is converted to light, while 20 percent is lost and converted into other forms of energy such as heat.
In the case of computers it turns to waste heat and whatever is radiated away is not usable energy and is essentially waste heat. Computers are basically devices for converting useful energy into waste radiation.

in FPTP, if you aren't voting tactically, you are in fact not doing whatever you can to avoid it.
I could be mistaken, but from what I'm understanding is that Booking.com books the flights for you, by automating the booking process on Ryanair (and subsequently add their own fees), whereas the likes of SkyScanner show you the information, then direct you to the Ryanair website to book through the airline.
>I've recently wondered what a sortitionist democracy would look like, something were the legislative and executive branches are randomly selected throughout the popukation much like a jurry to serve for a few years. I'm not aware of any places in history that had something like that.

Me neither, but it reminds me of the Arthur C. Clarke novel "Songs from Distant Earth". In it, a distant colony of Earth has a very small population, since the planet is all a big ocean, except for a few small islands. The small society has a mayor, who's randomly chosen from the population for a limited term. The only disqualification (other than obvious things like age) is that the post can't go to someone who actually wants to do the job. It's similar to how no one in their right mind actually wants to sit on a jury, but people do it because of civic duty.
Cloudflare does sell domains at cost but the catch is that domains registered through them must use CFs nameservers, so they can try to upsell you to their paid services. In that regard they are like most other registrars which treat domains as a loss leader for other products, except they take it to the limit of making nothing on the domains rather than a few cents.
Turns out I'm wrong about dates in my historical edit: it's 16 years, not 6. No idea how quickly von Neumann took over from Harvard in that period, so it's conceivable that assuming a merged memory was already the standard.

As a mathematician, I say: if the kid is "somewhat mature" in mathematics, I wouldn't say this is necessarily a bad idea.

I honestly love to read mathematical textbooks that are quite above my current mathematical level and knowledge. It is brutal to go through and attempting to understand the material, but this is soooo rewarding.

This method of learning mathematics is clearly not for everyone, but if you are sufficiently motivated to go this way, and love the brutality innate to this method, I actually would recommend it.
I think being overweight could simply result in diluting the natural amount of hormone produced, over a larger body weight. So it ends up with lower levels in the bloodstream than you would have otherwise.

Plus if you seldom do things to get your circulation really going, whatever level you do have might not be able to reach every part of the body as well either, including the brain.

I'd be interested to know how many of the companies involved in data breach / massive pwnages in the last 2 years were using crowdstrike on their devices/servers.
Sounds like it's the same thing.
You place your trust in:

1. The battle testing of the generator (e.g. lex yacc is widely used)

2. The readability of the grammar file, which enables good review

You don’t (often) read the generated code, only test it. Much like you wouldn’t read the binary generated by a compiler.
One take is, Putin is too self-unaware to realize that the reason Eastern European countries want to join NATO is because they're afraid he will invade them sooner or later, just like what he did to Georgia in 2008.

But then again, maybe there's some merit to Putin's paranoia that NATO is "gobbling" up these countries to create a military circle around Russia in preparation for a future invasion. At least in his understanding, that's a logical conclusion.

But he must knows he's running the country like a thug, with oligarchs being forced to tithe to him, and he hates the idea of citizens revolting to topple down other thugs (like they did in Ukraine), because if that idea catches on, that might happen to him too. I wonder if he draws a faulty conclusion that these revolutions are EU/NATO/Western-engineered because they're evil, instead of coming from the citizens themselves who are fed up with being robbed by the elite.

Hah, ironcally enough, Russia runs a propaganda network (or so we've been told) that tricks the population in EU/USA to moan about their rulers and be rightwing populists...
They probably got an exemption to fast track the release because this is a critical issue. I wouldn't expect testing to be so thorough for a release in 2 days. The exemption is more likely.

Show HN: Create mobile apps from your description instantly
Hey HN,

I often struggled to get started on new projects—the first lines of code were always the hardest, leading to many abandoned ideas. To solve this, I created AppScriptor.
This web app autogenerates mobile applications from just an app name and a description, providing a quick start and a solid foundation. Now, instead of getting stuck at the beginning, I can jump right into developing and refining my ideas.
I hope AppScriptor helps others overcome the same hurdles and brings more great apps to life.
LaTeX has always been like that. Random packages have never worked together properly, and submitting the manuscript in the format the publisher requires has always been a struggle. It's often easier to reinvent the wheel than to use a third-party package for some functionality.

The way I learned it, the best practice of using LaTeX has always been based on whitelisting. When you create documents for yourself, you establish a list of packages that work well together and stick to it. And if you expect documents from others, you provide a document class and a list of supported packages.

But despite all these shortcomings, LaTeX is widely supported. Both in the technical sense and in the social sense. Journals and similar entities not only accept but often except LaTeX documents.

I don't know how bad are opioid overdoses, though my understanding is that for at least some products, the opioid is mixed with paracetamol, specifically in order so you die from OD-ing on the paracetamol before you get high on the opioid.

As for stimulant medication, I haven't heard of this being a real danger - not at the doses that prescription drugs have. Hell, I personally know a person who ate two boxes (i.e. 60+ tablets) of methylphenidate in a suicide attempt, and all they got from it was couple hours of hyperactivity, followed by a big headache, after ER flushed their stomach; they got discharged less than 24 hours later. But sure, if you drop the pharmaceuticals and go for illegal drugs, where the doses can be 100x as high, I guess you can mess yourself up pretty bad and rather quickly.
>In situations like dating

If you can't accept me at my go-go-gadget best, you don't deserve me at my baseline.
I haven't seen anything for or against in actual roadmaps. But there is, of course, at least one pre-proposal:

https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-named-arguments/16...

It doesn't think about optional arguments (but somehow does include overloading). And a bit in a related fashion, it doesn't permit for reordering calling arguments, which I consider a downside:

> Reordering named arguments when calling

> No it is not possible. Just like unnamed arguments and generics, named arguments are also position-based and cannot be reordered when calling: register(name:surname:) cannot be called as register(surname:name:).

> Reordering them at the definition site is an API break, just like reordering unnamed arguments or generics is an API break already.

The rationale for this expressed in the comments says it's incompatible with overloading, but to me I don't see why named arguments and overloading should go hand-in-hand—or, indeed, how desirable overloading is in the first place. Or why should overloading be able to overload that kind of scenario. The other reasons for this don't seem really problems at all.

> fn func2(pub name: u32, name hidden: u32) { /\* ... */ }
> fn func3(name hidden1: u32, name hidden2: u32) { /* ... */ }

> func2 and func3 could work in theory: named arguments as proposed in this RFC are position-based and their internal names are different: just like two arguments can have the same type without ambiguity, those functions could be allowed.

Maybe there are technical reasons that are simpler when considering type compatibility between function types that have or don't have labeled arguments? Seems the proposal has misunderstood something about OCaml labeled arguments when placing it under https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-named-arguments/16... , though.

In addition the proposal doesn't seem to have a neat syntax for forwarding named parameters, like in constructing records you can just fill in a field called foo by mentioning its name by itself—or, like in OCaml you can have

let foo ~bar = bar + 1
let baz ~bar = foo ~bar

let main () = baz ~bar:42

If it used the .-prefix as mentioned as an idea elsewhere, then this too could be naturally expressed.

Maybe there are other ideas how to go about the labeled arguments, though that one seems pretty well thought-out.

One thing I've enjoyed with Python (and Mypy) is the ability to require the caller to use named arguments with the asterisk marker in the parameter list. This idea is mentioned in the proposal.

> She absolutely "could" have stayed in with a real shot at winning, which was true for basically all of them.

This was true for three of them: Sanders, Biden and Buttigieg; but if Buttigieg stayed in, it was looking like at the time that he and Biden both would have lost to Sanders. I remember my last act as a registered member of the Democratic Party was going to be to vote for the candidate who had the best shot at beating Sanders in my State specifically thus denying him some delegates, and I was having a difficult time up until nearly the last minute figuring out who that was going to be up until Buttigieg made the decision extremely easy by removing himself from the race.

Harris didn’t even make it to the starting line. Her campaign simply ran out of money in December before the Iowa Caucus.
> or there is no internal testing

Thing is, as far as I can see, deploying this database update to a Windows machine will result promptly and unconditionally in a BSOD. That implies that this update was tried on exactly zero machines before it was shipped.

The bug can't have "slipped through internal testing"; it would have failed immediately on any machine it was loaded on.
The feature is controversial enough that it's basically a wontfix.
I've never been able to get into budgeting (or any financial planning for that matter), but since seeing the Moneystack prototype, I'm pretty hooked on it. Plug in a few numbers and you'll immediately see when you can afford new investments/whatever you wanna buy :)
> - On top of that, some embeddable elements like <canvas> are not recorded (e.g. Google Maps, Figma).

rrweb is capable of canvas recording. We use it at sentry but there are inherent challenges with canvas you have to be aware of. Most importantly we're very careful about PII handling and if you have canvases you will sooner or later capture stuff you do not want to have on there unless you are very careful yourself.

That tends not to work very well. In most countries, the third-party options are usually more extreme, and courting their voters may get them, but at the expense of even more votes in the center. In FPTP, third parties and their votes (as well as voters staying home), tend to disadvantage their own goals much more than advance them.
Proofs by contradictions are still expressed in valid math. Invalid math is when you start giving answers like “1.3(4æ87+^%<[{“, that is completely disregarding syntactical and consistency rules of the language you are using to express yourself in.
Convenience and abstraction, it's a tradeoff between handling servers yourself and effectively outsourcing it. On top of this vercel also has some convenient tools for deploying websites.

You will likely find that it targets a similar audience as heroku et al.
> just like blaming microsoft for the crowdstrike bsod is stupid

Wait, how is this stupid? Unless I'm missing something, wasn't the patch part of a Microsoft payload that included an update to Crowdstrike? Surely Crowdstrike is culpable, but that doesn't completely absolve Microsoft of any responsibility, as its their payload.
I don't think I exaggerate. I think I am looking at bare facts. Unless proven otherwise.
Their website with pricing plan crashes shortly after opening in Firefox with "Application error: a client-side exception". Yes a static website crashes in web browser on a PC in 2024. I guess this solves the problem entirely.
You're right, I was mixing concepts. SkyScanner and Google flights both do what you say. The companies that SkyScanner and co find are what Ryanair are complaining about. So the likes of; Trip, MyTrip, Kiwi, Expedia, GoToGate etc. I wonder if this will affect all of them.
Did Ryanair try blocking their IP’s or adding captchas? Or did they sue because the cat and mouse game became too much?
Back in The Good Old Days, an OS vendor would release a beta version and software vendors would test against it and fix problems before the stable OS version was released.

Obviously OS updates come out a lot more often these days than they used to - but we're also better at test automation than ever before, and beta software is easier to get than ever.

It sure would be nice if companies that decide to produce kernel modules and to support certain OSes could test those kernel modules against those OSes at the beta stage.
AWS is just a layer on top of bare-metal, and charges similar markup. Businesses pay for convenience. Vercel is much more convenient than AWS, if your problem space fits inside Vercel. If you're (for example) a physical toy company and you just need some product marketing pages, Vercel seems like an amazing fit.
I think ADHD is a well studied phenomenon and to brush it aside as just a lack of motivation is unjustified. People with ADHD are unable to focus even if they have the motivation.

Ethical hacking involves legally and ethically testing systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities and weak points. Ethical hackers help companies and individuals find and fix security flaws in their systems. This process not only provides protection against cyber attacks but also contributes to the development of security policies and procedures.
Up until the 2000s, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine were sold over the counter at pretty much every truck stop, gas station, and convenience store. Usually at a big display rack at the checkout counter, where nowadays they might have things like '5 hour energy drink' stuff. Dirt cheap too.

And yes, people did use it recreationally. But it wasn't really a problem. If they took enough that their capillaries burst, they were the only ones getting hurt. And they could easily buy more for a few dollars at any store, so there was no crime associated with it.

Now it's illegal mainly because 'war on drugs' is fun for some people or something. Crime rates were dropping so they needed to invent new crimes.

I'm also not from the US, and I agree that it has good startup potential. But the country seems to have issues with antitrust and multiple sectors becoming overly consolidated. Sometimes this is because one or a few companies genuinely have an outstanding product. I would say that used to be true of Amazon. But often it's because those companies have anti-competitive behaviours that help it to maintain market dominance without benefit to consumers. For example, Amazon effectively penalises sellers for offering cheaper prices elsewhere, which is the target of anti-trust cases both in the US and the EU.

From 1988 you would watch b/w or 4 colours on PC made for offices being really expensive, and from y2k you could play DivX videos and TV at home. And from 2k-2k1, even under Unix at home too (something unthinkable by 1988) with some nice GNU/Linux distro :D.

The technology change from 1988 to 1998 was really huge, much more compared to what you could get since 2010 until today.
If the two main parties were to drift well away from the opinion of the voters, and the voters all picked the closer option of the two, then one party would become dominant, the other irrelevant, and then there would be an option for an alternative party to fill the void closer to the voters. Note that this would be the case in any other voting system as well: whatever your preferred party is only gets to power at the expense of one of the others. The main reason this doesn't happen often is that the politics of those parties tends to shift to try to win those votes.

(IMO, the sad fact of most democracies nowadays is that the government does in fact tend to reasonably well represent the average of what the voters want, in terms of method if not results. Given the state of them, I think it reflects poorly on the voters, but there's not really any better way to align government and populace)
Yes, the vast majority of current GOP voters consider someone like Romney or McCain (RIP) to be a "RINO". Only Trump and his sycophants are "true Republicans" to them now.

However, having a mixed-party ticket like this doesn't need to worry about swaying the Trump voters; they're not going to change their vote for anyone. The appeal here is to get some of the minority of GOP voters, the "never-Trumpers" and others who really don't like Trump much, to switch their vote (or actually vote, if they're sitting it out in disgust).

I do think this idea would succeed in getting some of these peoples' votes. However, I have no idea if that would outweigh the number of votes they'd lose from people on the left.

Very respectable. It's behaviors like this that keep me on Jellyfin instead of Plex, even in the face of social pressures to switch.

Do you have a source for this? It's the first time I hear of this. From what I've understood (perhaps wrongly), the error came from the CrowdStrike driver (csagent.sys) having bugs in their configuration parser that could cause it to BSOD. CrowdStrike pushed a corrupted configuration (the CS-000whatever.sys we're told to delete) that hit that bug. I'm not sure how Microsoft fits in this story.
