Interesting. I remember the Falklands War revealing how exposed Navy ships were to French-built Exocet missiles. I recall American military planners having a bit of a freak-out over the situation when they realized how vulnerable their fleets were to comparatively cheap technology. This realization accelerated the deployment of the Phalanx CIWS, the lasting legacy of the war.
I cannot parse your reasoning or argument here. Can you elaborate?

"The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reported there has been a 620% increase in pharmacy burglaries over the last two years across the state."

The state being, in the article, NY. They just happen to mention Arkansas in a related fashion.

As for pharmacies locking up small items as well, it's very obvious why it happens, it's becauase of a high occurence of theft. Is this rocket science? Do you think they do it because they can't get enough of the operational overhead of dealing with customers every time they need an item? I bring drugs into the mix because this is all interrelated. Robberries love pharmacies, or at least historically have until they started locking everything up. Drugs are a big factor, and by extension the small stuff gets taken too.
Think you can Google; there are multiple cases that made the news.

> (the joke is that analog computers don't have clocks... Do they?)

Not a digital clock, no.

But your modem controller (2.4GHz, 5GHz or whatever) has a frequency that the radio analog chips are adding, multiplying, exponenting and decimating to pull the data out of the radio waves.

And computation to pull data out of (or push data into) a 2.4GHz channel is best done with analog today. Sure, SDR exists but its far more expensive than some PLLs and other analog techniques.
Fair enough. (Sure, I read the guidelines, but that does not mean I'm immune to failing once in a while ;) )

How does it "lose all of the data behind it"? It's right there on the left hand side. Money is fungible so when it comes to budgeting it doesn't matter where it comes from. I don't really see the point of adding obligations/liabilities like taxes and child support to it. The point of a budget is it's your choice how you allocate it so why add stuff that isn't your choice?

A lot of Americans are sick and tired of the giantism in our car market. The automobile press gets glazy in the eyes and repeats like the brainwashed soldiers in The Manchurian Candidate that the U.S. consumer is stuck on large cars but the reality is the car industry is stuck on large cars.

When I was a kid in the 1970s I saw car dealers try every trick in the book to upsell my dad to larger cars. By the late 2010s Japanese brands caught up with American brands: I was looking for a Fit in 2017 but new ones weren't available, I had to settle on a used Fit at new car pricing. Allegedly the factory had been washed out in a flood but the dealer had almost 100 HR-Vs in a line that nobody wanted to buy that are made in the same factory. In the meantime a customer would sell a Fit back to them and they'd sell it to me the next day.

Honda discontinued the Fit alleging that sales were poor but in the area around Ithaca it's one of the most popular cars, it is a running gag that another Fit owner will park next to you at the supermarket and I'm sure it would make a great getaway car.
> It's true that this could probably also be handled by AI, but in the end, classifying the lenses takes like 1-2% of the time it takes to make a scraper for a website so I found it was not worth trying to build a very good LLM classifier for this.

This is true for technology in general (in addition to specifically for LLMs).

In my experience, the 80/20 rule comes into play in that MOST of the edge cases can be handled by a couple lines of code or a regex. There is then this asymptotic curve where each additional line(s) of code handle a rarer and rarer edge case.

And, of course, I always seem to end up on project where even a small, rare edge case has some huge negative impact if it gets hit so you have to keep adding defensive code and/or build a catch all bucket that alerts you to the issue without crashing the entire system etc.

Exactly. In theory, I have no problems with a Steam competitor, but the extras Steam gives, plus its support for linux is just unmatched. Input binding, support for non-standard controllers (huge for accessibility), Proton, streaming, remote play, etc. The list goes on and on. Epic... is just a glorified downloader and friend list basically where you are stuck on windows.

I agree, file access via upload/download concept is friction on the user experience. I'd love to see serverless offline HTML applications with permission based file system access, because you can do so much very quickly in the browser with access to GPU, bluetooth, USB even, but I'm not holding my breath because of the security implications

Redbean looks good, I didn't know about the APE format, but unfortunately doesn't solve the file system access problem without presumably rewriting a backend in Lua. Docker, reluctantly, is better than nothing.
It's perfectly fair. When you live by the sword of proprietary and industry-unsupported protocols, you die by that sword as well. Apple products have faced this time and time again, with version updates killing 32-bit program support or pushing the OpenGL depreciation line.

Because Apple doesn't have to compete on merits (as your comment points out), they just have to convince you to upgrade on a regular basis. Their routine depreciation and deliberate gimping of old hardware is evidence that Apple does not want you to keep using their devices once they tell you its time to stop.
The people who aren't from my neighborhood are absolutely the problem. Half of my neighbors are industry or just cool young people who go out all the time. I live in a gritty neighborhood that used to be the "Harlem of the West", not sure which city you're in but it'd be like Ybor (tampa), Deep Ellum (Dallas), I guess east6th austin but graffitti/hiphop not honkytonk vibes. Austin doesn't have a blues/jazz/hiphop neighborhood really and its unfortunate White Elephant or whatever is all they've got. Like you said, we get a lot of suburban tourists, groups of people who come in for their friday/sat night to the "cool" part of town and don't know how to handle their liquor or nowadays are just looking for drama, hate being asked for their drivers license (a law here to check for expireds) get in arguments with their partners, other people, try to fight the door guys.

Post 2020 is wild, I all but guarantee my local dive next door deals with a fight almost every fri-saturday. They definitely have to kick someone out every fri/sat at a minimum. Never used to be that bad. I can't explain how many people have tried to start something with me since 2021 (once bars opened) just going out and seeing shows and dancing and what not. If I go out to the busier areas after midnight it's almost a definite thing some dude(s) will go alpha bro mode over nothing or just stare people down. Last saturday a group a randoms at a table was enunciating loudly hoping I'd hear it that I don't belong at my own home bar. That I looked stupid and had stupid tattoos. Dudes had probably never walked into it before and were definitely not from my neighborhood. I just ignored them because who cares. Weird stuff like that. People are just weird now. I've seen so many people 86d.

We had a dollar beer night up till at least 2016-2018 in Austin off Guad at The Local but it looks like that closed down. I can't imagine dollar beers today. The $1 Coors Banquets they sold sell for I think $6.50ish here today. I'm paying $6-8 for single well (Concierge) vodka talls nowadays..
I wonder if the 9700 end up being better for gaming due to the way lower tdp while already having 8 cores, the requirements for cooling drop substantially so overclocking could be used to boost single core which could be more useful
It's unclear who you're criticizing. The developer who uses a compiled language (even though all things considered compiled languages are generally more efficient)? The compiler developer who doesn't optimize the compiler (even though it's unclear compilers could be much faster)? Also, why do you think upgrading a computer intrinsically leads to e-waste? I've kept or given away every computer I've bought that still works. Why wouldn't I, when it's still perfectly capable of doing useful work.

> Previous studies have revealed some differences between canine and feline scavenging. Dogs tend to eat the face and throats of humans, then break the ribs and chew on bones. Cats, on the other hand, often strip skin from the nose, upper lip, and fingers (the same places, Rando notes, that they nip at when playing with a living owner). Scavenging is more common with dogs than cats, Byard adds, “but I don’t trust either of them.”
I’m pretty much certain that 8-9hrs of sleep per night with a fever reducer and/or decongestant and a little bit of weed is gonna get me better faster than no drugs and getting three or fewer hours of sleep multiple nights in a row.

When illnesses get really bad for me it’s usually because they’ve only let me sleep like five total hours in three nights or something like that, due to fever chills or lots of snot and a very-sore throat. The lack of sleep is what wrecks me.
ime, They usually get sold, either as full packages or per rack. There are refurbishers who tend to handle the piecewise extraction of all worthwhile components. See also, the recent auctions of Cheyenne

They aren't usually re-used as full compute racks because the infra required (cooling, power) is non trivial.
The goal of Unicode is to ascribe semantic, machine-readable/indexible identifiers (codepoints) to “things that appear in what are conventionally considered plaintext documents” so that “text” can be handled in a standard way across systems like screen-readers, IMEs, LLMs, search engines, etc; and so that we don’t need to depend on some particular pictorial representation / decoding of an image surviving into the future to decode it[1], because the (open, widely replicated) Unicode standard and database files encode a description for each codepoint, and a semantics for each codepoint (things like collation, joining, capitalization, etc.)

I started teaching myself how to code in December 2020 and landed my first position within six months. The tech bubble was perfect then, but things are a bit different now. I'm currently exploring a few paths and using my extra time to learn more than ever. I love learning whenever possible and find it incredibly fulfilling to use my skills to build cool things.

Yep, especially with a systems language. As you say, they're basically built for "I need to do something specific."
I dunno. But they advertise their "Stealth" protocol as a solution for everything. And there are still problems.
Damn... that bathroom mirror reflection!
This is not the actual sales script. It's a script for the so-called canvassing call. Or so it was called back when I worked in boiler rooms cca. 2007. You hire a bunch of losers pay them no wage and all they do is telemarketing "can I call you with an opportunity?" i.e. you simply pre-qualify people for the real call. You show off some fake credibility, present yourself like a real business and says stuff like 'we only send couple of trade recommendations a year'. Then a week later the real sales guy give the prospect a hyped up call about this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Most people, about 95% making these first calls never make it higher. Either they quickly gather this job is a BS scam or they're too stupid to realize that and that stupidity often prevents them from going higher up. A few cynical ones like the manipulative aspects of it.

The job of a firm is to create illusion of excessive wealth and rockstar lifestyle of these "brokers" (strippers, cocaine, etc.) to attract some kind of talent. Most of the directors are faking the size of their wealth. E.g. coming to job on rented Bentley. They also lie about the nature of the job to hire people for "canvassing" as it doesn't matter how long you stay, if you only deliver 20 leads per first day and quit that's still a win. A bulk of the leads come from people who were tricked into the job and quit asap.

Most people who make it through are the ones cynical enough to stay around, then they harvest work of the ones who quit earlier. E.g. you collect leads, small clients etc. I have a friend who made it far, his lifestyle was just like Wolf of Wallstreet but more excessive. That movie btw. it's watered down - which is hard to believe for most as you'd expect Hollywood to overblow things.

> One factor that may have hindered Superfest’s competitiveness in a unified Germany was its functionalist, austere look. Especially in southern parts of the country, drinkers like to swig their beer from glasses decorated with gold edging or engraved coats of arms. “Baroque decoration on a Superfest glass wouldn’t work,” says Höhne. “It would violate the design itself.”

The 6th image in the carousel on that page shows gold rimmed glasses with a decorative design, hardly an austere look.
Energy is an input cost in running a server, and Hetzner talks in this very article about how they can keep prices low because they are obsessed with minimizing energy utilization. So it makes some sense that they would ban crypto mining: permitting it would significantly increase overall energy utilization and could quickly make their business model unprofitable.

Also, servicing legal requests related to crypto operations exhausts resources, and they probably don’t want to waste time, money, and people on those either.

Correct

The problem is really about who gets the benefit of the longevity - e.g. I feel that with LED lightbulbs etc it is mostly the producer who has soaked up the economic benefit. As a user you think it's going to last longer and then for one reason or another it doesn't - they've worked out how to introduce some unreliability.

Protoc is written in C++ and is quite large, while at the time I was writing Go and had 8 years less experience. It was easier to write and test a small but perfectly functional recursive descent parser by myself than to try to tackle:

- learning a new language

- learning a new codebase

- modifying that codebase

- distributing a that modified fork of a project in c++ alongside what I was building in Go

It was much easier in my case to build it as a small part of the tool I was already building and move on with my life.
I think it is an evolutionary benefit for a social creature to understand a difference between "not currently here" and "not functioning anymore" (i.e. "died"). This is the "why". The "how", apparently is by feelings or emotions or whatever you want to call it.
This is a great sign because it shows humility of the engineering team.

Just wanted to say that I only got back to this thread now, but I agree with my sibling commentors.

Here's a discussion about it from a few years back, with some links to the primary discussions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18372332
> Cats are very loving animals that can bond deeply to others

That's... that's what I said? That's why I put "grieve" in quotes, because in the article, they used it specifically as a reaction to death. But death is probably not a concept a cat understands. They understand concepts like "absence" and "missing," but I doubt they know that things die.
I don't know about that, I've found even simple applications need things like blue/green deployments and kubernetes makes that very easy and robust.
I enjoyed it, but I was slightly underwhelmed. Some sequels, like Portal 2, expand on the concept so well that they basically replace the original. But in this case, I sometimes felt like level design took a step back, and WoG 1 was overall better game.
I was under the impression that this "yes momentum" thing didn't really work because people get defensive when you make them say yes to things.

And also everyone knows when someone asks for a second they are really asking for much more. On the other hand, if someone readily admits to being busy (and thus cannot listen well to you), it's better for both of you that you call again some other time.
thank you very much for the context!

wrt ewd1300, https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/ewd13xx/EWD1300.PDF is a scan in the original handwriting. it's been a number of years since i read it, and i'd forgotten most of its contents, though evidently i've incorporated some of them subconsciously. and i'm not sure i finished it last time

i've been using ∨ and ∧ for infix max and min, respectively, which is a generalization of their boolean-algebra use and appropriate to their use in the theory of lattices (the partial-order kind of lattice, of which the usual total order is a special case). unfortunately this clashes rather badly with the use of ∧ in geometric algebra, aka clifford algebra (e.g., https://arxiv.org/pdf/1205.5935) so i've been thinking about changing. dijkstra's choice of ↑ for max (supremum) and ↓ for min (infimum) are tempting

a second unfortunate collision is that recent versions of apl use ∧ and ∨ for infix lcm and gcd, which is also a generalization of their boolean-algebra use and appropriate to their use in the theory of lattices; it's just using a different partial order

i think dijkstra's choice of ';' for relational composition is rather unfortunate, though it's probably a better choice than my choice of simple juxtaposition in binate (http://canonical.org/~kragen/binary-relations) which uses ';' for the relational product, which i think is an equally unfortunate choice. • is the conventional operator for relational composition, and it doesn't introduce such fatal ambiguities when typeset, but it poses human-interface problems with a normal keyboard (how do you know how to type it?) and may be confused with some other kind of infix dot operator when handwritten, such as the infix function-application operator dijkstra explains here

a reasonable alternative is the ∘ conventionally used for functional composition, which is the same thing as relational composition when the relations in question happen to be functions, and so generally introduces no semantic ambiguity, as well as less typographical ambiguity in handwriting. it has the same human-interface problem as •

with respect to quantification, in http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/paperalgo i've taken the approach ka-ping yee introduced in python, of treating quantified operators like Σ, Π, ∀, ∃, etc., as ordinary functions whose argument is a set or sequence; then we can notate the sequence with the moral equivalent of a list-comprehension. (the notation i use for such comprehensions in paperalgo unfortunately will not fit in this margin, but the web page displays it well.) dijkstra's choice here of ⟨i: i < 10: i²⟩ privileges dummy variables ranging over consecutive integers, but as he implicitly points out, you can use any logical proposition, such as ⟨i: i ∈ S: i²⟩, and while my choice privileges iterations over concrete sequences, you can similarly iterate over any set

i'm more interested in expressing algorithms, while dijkstra was more interested in proving properties of algorithms, and some of our differences in notational choices reflect this, such as this last one
They have better mpg, but they generally don't have as much of the emission lowering 'tech' that cars have. This is especially true of older and/or cheaper motorcycles. So they'll burn less fuel, but each gallon of fuel they do burn will release more pollution, although motorcycles have gotten a lot better on this front over the past several years.
