I wish I had a suggestion on pricing.

If I'm looking for a low-priced fare that would motivate me to travel, I am probably less picky about destination, and possibly about timeframe.

I.e. there are a dozen places I'd love to go for fun if the opportunity presented itself. I'd even drive an hour or two to another departure airport, if it made sense.

So that's a combinatorial explosion of dep-arr pairs. SFO-*, OAK-*, SJC-*, etc.

At $5/pair/month, my example costs ($5*3*12==$180) per month, which I definitely will not spend. I don't want to limit my alerts, because the three departure origins are functionally equivalent for me, and the 12 arrival destinations are interestingly equivalent enough that I'd regret missing out on a less-obvious pair.

...

It's entirely possible that I'm unusual in this. And I get that each pair is a new query/scrape for you. Although it seems likely that, at scale, you'll have enough people from an area that a lot of the pairs are duplicates across users, even considering flexible departure airports.

Good luck, and I hope you'll share your scraping experiences. There are a lot of interesting stories to be told in that business.
Which as with everything else in construction these days ultimately ends up taking twice as long and costing thrice the initial estimate. Also, this is the cost for a bore hole. The cost for something with enough diameter to house a reactor will be some orders of magnitude higher.

Have you seen libAgar (https://libagar.org)? Cross platform support is certainly there, covering everything from windows XP (and earlier) to *bsd and SGI IRIX. I'm not sure what all having support for accessibility requires as I've never had to worry about it, but am curious if 1, agar has what's needed, and 2, what exactly is required of a GUI library for accessibility. Screen reader support? (Are there SR standards for desktop applications)? Dynamic scaling? High contrast?

(For embedded and/or touch first UI, LVGL is pretty nice, but probably lacking any semblance of accessibility features apart from keyboard navigation, but you could hook that yourself).

That's kind of funny because I use a tiling window manager (hyprland) because I don't want those things resized. things resize in a predictable way so you just hover the mouse over the tile you are ok with resizing on you and that's all that changes (then you can hold your mod key and drag what opened wherever you want or hit your mod key combo to make it floating and it will float instead of tile. My video player tile is tabbed so I can drag as much stuff in there as I want and it will never resize, just add tabs that I can tab through).The tiling lets me very quickly create the desktop layout I want every time and it's always exactly how I want it or easy to fix, so for me that's great.
CGI was the late 90s equivalent of "function as a service". It was especially useful on multi-tenant web hosts, in a way that hasn't really been replicated since. The main advantage is absolute simplicity: you upload an executable, the webserver runs it under your uid/gid, it handles your request, and then it exits and doesn't consume any more resources.

The downside was the cost of starting an executable from scratch, which isn't that bad on Linux, plus the cost of whatever interpreter was handling the request if you didn't write it in C. Such as PHP or Perl ('use CGI' was very popular).

(what better solution would you choose in 2024 for a web server where you have 1,000 customers each of which has one or two CGI scripts that get on average one request every few minutes?)
Deploy a container to Azure App Services using user-assigned managed identity

One thing is that I was referencing the old popular quote on Lisp: "Whoever does not understand Lisp is doomed to reinvent it," so there’s a little bit of exaggeration there.

Still, it’s true that Nix Flakes is a kind of dynamically-typed environment that lets you compose various constructs in Nix in a uniform way. But, let's be honset, we have had duck typing forever, and Lisp is a dynamic language from 1960s. Reading through forum posts (as I never went deep with Flakes), Nix really needs a fundamentally better language, or I have a strong feeling that the project will just keep reinventing language features one by one.
It definitely feels China is well beyond "basic" manufacturing. "global leader" is probably it. Even in fairly nascent industries local industries - cars - they're pretty much up there with the best, at a significantly lower price.
Before OOM killer activates, the system will swap out all other applications including desktop shell. If you are unlucky to use a spinning hard drive, your system will freeze for a long time.

This is a problem with popular Linux distributions, they do not have protection against application swapping out important system applications.

Linux has disk quotas and CPU scheduler but it doesn't have fair memory and swap management (or this is not configured out of the box). For example, desktop shell doesn't have protection against being swapped out.
As opposed as I am to the constant infusion of politics into media (and I'm quite opposed to it) this also seems pretty bad. Why restrict the streamers? More importantly, why would any streamer listen to a video game developer? Literally nothing is at stake.
Is one hand for each cake hyper-threading?
> It's pretty simple, the different realities like you said.

Agreed.

> Your info stream probably told you that people were gobbling horse goo and aquarium cleaner and dying by the droves, while threatening your grandmother

That's not even close to the truth. There were reliable reports of people admitted to hospital with this but nobody in their right mind thought "droves" of people were taking dangerous quantities of ivermectin or drinking bleach.
Swapping an electric dryer around is maybe more practical. It also gives you an obvious place to dump the waste heat.

If I was serious about this I'd have an electrician and HVAC installer on the way first. A mini split in the computer room with a dedicated 50A/220v circuit.

Nvidia can't really enter this segment unless Windows on ARM takes off, and they don't want to be the one to put the first foot forward.

If Snapdragon X Elite is a success, you can bet Nvidia will be producing laptop SoCs with passable CPUs and great iGPUs.

> This smells like something that was made by devs because they hated working on WP, not understanding that the reason why WP is picked if often due to political reasons, not technical ones

But that’s the point? When WP is picked for political reasons, this is how you can make it nice on the technical side.
There are some people that believe hunting should just be go to the woods, with your rifle or bow, and start walking around looking for deer. They are opposed to things like setting up feed piles of corn or apples, having cameras set up to find common paths for deer, etc. I suspect the latter where someone spend pre-season effort to find where they are is what's meant by scouting.

A personal note on that - I've done those things for years, seen big bucks on trail cams, bought bags of feed corn, watched them eating them on the trail cam, then gone to that spot and never seen deer in hunting season. :)

I assumed most of this was already standard practice. Although boilerplate is useful to have on hand. Two thoughts:

1. Vue seems to follow most of these paradigms, including "pass data down, bubble events up" and directory structure.

2. This is a stupid complaint, but putting *.ts files in a directory named "js" bothers me. Of course, it makes more sense if one doesn't like typescript and just uses ES6+ as I am wont to do.

So this rules out many kinds of WIMPs, but not axions, or the more exotic white holes of loop quantum gravity. There's also the JWST observations which oddly seem to fit certain MOND scenarios better. Or Claudia DeRahm's massive gravity.
Vanilla JS has also been a long-time joke about how modern javascript has advanced far enough not to need libraries for a lot of stuff people still reach for: http://vanilla-js.com/

Goes back to 2012 unchanged (hence the selection of libraries compared against): https://web.archive.org/web/20120825232614/http://vanilla-js...

Edit to add: Having been around in that era, I see "Vanilla Prime" as a whole new framework, nothing vanilla about it.
Similarly, I was with a friend who parked at the far end of a parking lot that had a McDonalds at the other end. When we came back there was a car boot on the car, I wanted to speak with a general manager to confirm they were "Enforcing the parking lot of McD's customers only", they said we could talk with the shift manager (who they may or may not be working with separately). My friend just wanted his car and paid them without checking anything with a credit card - on their phone+square device (or whatever that portable cc reader is). It was sketchy and I hadn't seen them there before. I am not even sure that is legal tbh, but didn't have time to work through it with him/them.

I'll add that the related 'power' many Lisp acolytes talk about stems from the fact that everything is a list of lists. Due to this, you can write programs that take syntax (a list of lists) and modify that syntax to do something else (another list of lists).

Imagine a language that has a built in parser and code generation library.

Seems entirely reasonable. And something that more media companies should do. If you want to yell politics don't do it while showing someone else's product.
I, for one, welcome our new centrifugal bumble-puppy World Controllers[0].

> "History is more or less bunk." —HF

[0] my guess is that the Cyberspace Controller would approve of HN (if only it required more expensive equipment to access?), for the half-life of front page[1] conversations can be measured in days.

[1] in the long tail, on the other hand, the Vokuhila principle suggests that while HN keeps it all business on the front page, there may still be a party in the back?
I suspect you pay less than half of 0.46 $/kWh but not less than half of 0.46 ¢/kWh.
I thought gravitomagnetism was extremely weak? Wouldn't normal magnetism and its interaction with environmental plasma (which IIRC is also neglected on the grounds of being a rounding error) be more significant?
Yeah, the moderation is truly broken, along with the "accepted answer" framework, and in general the approach to knowledge curation. Kind of amazing to me that the founders/staff of the site didn't try to turn this around.

To add an anecdote: The last question I bothered to answer was one where the accepted answer was a very-specific fix, and a more generic fix was in a comment below that which was better and more directly addressed the root problem and would work for any user encountering an exception (accepted answer was workable, but working at the wrong layer of abstraction to actually solve the problem). I pulled that out into its own answer. Looking back now at that question, the poor "accepted answer" which won't work for anyone hitting this error because it references a specific class in the user's question which won't exist for any other users is still accepted with -5 and the better answer is below the fold at +16. This is pretty typical across a lot of questions. The fact that SO doesn't automatically handle this case is basically a failure of the site's abstraction model and algorithms over answers.

For a site where the long-term value is ostensibly curating high-quality answers to the maximal number of questions, the best answers languish, and the questions and answers don't get sufficiently refined/updated over time. Arguably you'd want something closer to a wikipedia article about each problem that gets built out and updated over time if you want to provide canonical information about problems. Similarly I think the idea of closing things that are close, but different as duplicates has failed. These are often sufficiently different that the details are interesting and probably would provide value/activity/detail to the site. There should probably be some way to roll these up into a higher level article/topic to cover variants of problems, related cases, etc. This could start to act as pillars or knowledge-hubs within SO to get to a place of more canonical information or a more "tacit/practical wikipedia". Really not sure why things stopped at Q&A and seemed to stagnate where they did.

Though, they seemingly achieved profitability and sold for $1.8B without doing any of this, so what do I know. :) Probably the right move was focusing on other things like launching new communities, and making money for the company.
This feels like an inflection point where the Chinese gaming industry might start to dominate. The game is certainly popular and there's a lot of positive buzz around the gameplay.

A lot of people are tired of hamfisted messaging in their entertainment so I don't think the publisher's ban on the topics mentioned in the article is going to dissuade many of the target audience.
The difference smells like culture from across the ocean.
It's 32GB/s in both directions. So when exchanging data two GPUs each can do this at 64GB/s. Is that a useful way to measure it? Who knows.
Imagine dropping $15k on this but not wanting to spend $800 on an electrician to properly wire a 50A circuit so you run extension cords across the room creating a fire hazard.

As for the datacenter (I’ve racked many things with A/B power) the entire point is redundancy which this defeats the purpose of since each PSU is not properly rated. Seems incredibly bizarre to me in so many ways.
Here is a thought: by banning some but not all politically charged topics, you actually are introducing politics.
Spent way into the evening reading everything I could find on that link. Thanks for sharing. Woke up wondering how we preserve incredibly niche write-ups like this. Feels very much like Geocities the way it's hosted on a Wordpress subdomain. Obviously can verify it is indexed by the IA and archive.today, but what else can we do to preserve it past the next two decades?
Show HN: Built a Goodreads alternative for indie authors in SvelteKit
Goodreads gets a lot of (justifiable) hate, but like a lot of platforms suffers from network effect that is hard to overcome.

Pickwick is designed to be an alternative that focuses on self published authors and a different feature set for discovery.

Recent new features include a slick drag n' drop tier list creator: https://youtu.be/39Db3jyONaU

It's a bootstrapped project and one I've been working on for the better part of 2 years. Wanted to show the HN community!
These universities have turned from "growing our mission of education" (in which, wouldn't you want the largest number of people possible to benefit from some of the best minds in the world who work for you?) to "sustaining our business".
You might mix up Cent and Euro/Dollar here.

Even the cheapest way to produce electricity nowadays (PV) isn't below 1 cent/kWh (production, not end-user costs) yet and your quote refers to only the costs of the fuel itself.
I can't relate to that feeling, but then again I had no issues reading Pynchon or DeLillo. I appreciate the difference in cadence and don't believe prose has to conform to the same beats every time. It's true some books are easier to read (I'm reading a Murakami right now) and that is pleasant in its own way, but once you get into a flow I find it opens up and becomes enjoyable, in a particular way.

I would not want that all the time, but one doesn't read Russian lit all the time either. Becomes part of the experience for me.
They occasionally merge duplicate questions. The results are awful because half the answers will refer to details not mentioned in the retained question.
Unless something has changed, you need a Meta account and must enable developer mode, which requires signing up as a developer in order to sideload.

e: Checked and confirmed, though they call it Debug Mode now. Still need to sign up as a developer.
I think you misread, or do you really pay less than half a cent per kWh?
Svetlana Geier, the German Dostoyevsky translator, is/was much more famous/uncontested. They even made an excellent movie about her: “The Woman With the 5 Elephants”.

Regarding P&V:

> "The Pevear-Volokhonsky versions of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Gogol, Chekhov, and Bulgakov have earned rapturous reviews by James Wood in the New Yorker and Orlando Figes in the New York Review of Books, along with a PEN translation award. It looks as if people will be reading P&V, as they have come to be called, for decades to come.

> This is a tragedy, because their translations take glorious works and reduce them to awkward and unsightly muddles. Professional writers have asked me to check the Russian texts because they could not believe any great author would have written what P&V produce."

Getting early access to the next game is at stake. It's the same "access journalism" playbook gaming companies have always run.
Thanks, but I think I looked into that when I ran into the problem.

Iirc, the main problem was that most Python modules are not designed with Valgrind in mind (so they generate a lot of noisy/irrelevant warnings and errors)

I wish module maintainers would make running Valgrind a part of their QC process.
"Vegan" isn't trademarked either, but has a generally acknowledged meaning, just as open source has a generally acknowledged meaning of meeting the OSI open source definition.

It’s trailing edge. TSMC is doing it to soak up subsidies, deny it to others and avoid stick policy solutions. But they will never put leading edge outside of Taiwan, and should they become a true monopoly with Intel and Samsung throwing in the towels then it will become very unpleasant.
Yes, any enhancements would be a result of human led experiments to test causal theories.
Totally agree. Although if you happen to have the skillset to make lots of money you can use that to help more people. That gives a reason to tolerate bullshit jobs too.
Yes! My son finished the books a couple of times over, but now is dedicated to HP fan fiction, entirely beause he read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It was a suggestion from a friend a few years back, but I very much appreciate you mentioning it here since it might be nice read for someone else as well.
Who needs a stove? My 3200W GPU box puts out more than enough heat to roast a chicken.
Well maybe it should be. I was thinking the same about languages which are better suited for data wrangling. But to me, the reason python is the DS language shows how good evolution is and survival of the fittest.
You and I would probably argue that a DS language should have strong static typing but in nature what prevailed was the opposite. A nimble, easy, no fuss, comedy oriented named language.
In mathematics, if f is a function, f' (pronounced eff prime) is a modified/different but related function.

As others have said it seems that digging isn't cheap. My question is, is it even safe ? Surely if there is an accident or incident, there are the same issues if not more, groundwater pollution for example, risk of explosion, potentially causing further natural events such as earthquakes ?

>so if it does manage to overheat, the nuclear reaction will automatically dampen itself down.

This seems extremely blasé. "it will fix itself". By radiating the surrounding environment ?

I am a believer in nuclear power. It can already be done safe and is being done safe in most cases. This isn't solving any real problem.
As you have likely noticed, Control Panel is mostly a collection of links to other utilities that open as completely separate windows. Some of them even open the Settings app itself (such as "View Devices and Printers).

I see that in the Settings app there is a section System > Storage > Disks and Volumes. You can get to it directly by searching "Manage Disks and Volumes" (or just "Disks"). It doesn’t yet have all the functionality that disk management has.

I assume that functionality in Disk Management is going to eventually going to move there.

But even if it doesn't, the current Control Panel isn't actually needed to get there. Microsoft will probably just move the link to the Settings app. You can already get to Disk Management without even touching Control Panel (just go to your start menu and search for Disk Management).

The Control Panel doesn't even have many items left, I don't know why it's so hard to imagine it going away.
If an insane instruction set gives us higher performance and makes CPU and compiler design more complex, this might be an acceptable trade-off.

Java modules took a long time to land, but now, it looks like the whole exercise for making the JDK more modular. Haven't seen any use in the application code

I think you have misunderstood Searle's Chinese Room argument. In Searle's formulation, the Room speaks Chinese perfectly, passes the Turing test, and can in no way be distinguished from a human who speaks Chinese - you cannot "pop the illusion". The only thing separating it from a literal "robot that speaks Chinese" is the insertion of an (irrelevant) human in the room, who does not speak Chinese and whose brain is not part of the symbol manipulation mechanisms. "Internal cause and effect" has nothing to do with it - rather, the argument speciously connects understanding on the part of the human with understanding on the part of the room (robot).

The Chinese Room thought experiment is not a distinct "scenario", simply an intuition pump of a common form among philosophical arguments which is "what if we made a functional analogue of a human brain that functions in a bizarre way, therefore <insert random assertion about consciousness>".
