Quick feedback from a couple of minutes of playing around:

The unit aware calculations generate error messages that aren't very helpful.
In addition to better error messages, i feel that the errors should be reported as you type instead of requiring the user to press enter, see the error, then go back and edit. It would also be nice if it could automatically pick a unit for the result.
Wood spatulas are great. They are also cheap. If you have a fireplace, you can even burn them at the end of life so very little waste!

Show HN: Copystock – Replicating Single Stocks with ETFs
Built as a cute toy analysis for some friends. Many of us worked at firms where trading individual stocks was not allowed, but as more and more ETFs (can think of these usually as a linear combination of stocks) came onto the scene wondered about how closely combinations of ETFs can mimic individual stocks.

Just sharing the analysis -- not meant to be a tool to evade your trading restrictions. More info on methodology here:

”If we want to encode the vector [6,2,8,4] in a single expression we can create a function containing those numbers: f(x) = 6 + 2x² + 8x³ + 4x⁴

…or if you flip the vector and use x=10:

Yeah for sure, but the claim in the article is something like "we found the line in compiler code that causes bugs" or "we found the bytes in the compiled object that causes bugs"

It's a panacea

I doubt that Funciton, in its current form, could be useful in education. It doesn’t embody the most widely used programming paradigm (procedural) but instead is a declarative functional language, which makes any skills obtained by studying it pretty much untransferable. Secondly, its syntax does not allow for naming of variables and parameters (except perhaps through comments) which is an anti-pattern. If these could be addressed in a derivative concept that is actually designed for education, it could work. As it stands, however, it’s just a quirky esolang.
Enumerators are usually value types as long as you use the concrete type. Using the interface will box it. You can work around this by simply using List<T> as the type instead of the IEnnumerable.

You have to jump through some hoops but it's really not that convoluted and miles easier than good C++.

I've been frying eggs in my cast iron every morning for years, works like a charm! I use a small slice of butter and it's nonstick. The eggs don't freely slide around like they would in a non-stick pan, but after frying on one side for a moment I can easily move them with a metal spatula.

My trick though is that I have a cast iron only for eggs... if I cook other stuff in it the smooth buttery coating gets lost and the eggs start sticking again. After a few days of eggs-only it becomes nonstick again.
Interestingly enough, I have been testing the deepseek censorship for the past few months, and they censored ALL and EVERY mentioning of the square, no matter the context. Even if you used tricks (like the before mentioned base64 answer and decode) it would run some kind of scan on the previous answers and clear chat, even if it made output.

But right now (2024-10-31 15:28 CET) its able to output text like "The events of Tiananmen Square have had a lasting impact on Chinese society and are a significant moment in modern Chinese history. The Chinese government has since maintained a policy of strict censorship regarding the events, and public discussion of the protests is generally discouraged." I wonder, did they temporarily disable the censoring?

> Like he says, the "comment" describes what he wants to do. That's not what humans are interested in.

When I'm maintaining other people's code, or my own after enough time has gone by, I'm very interested in that sort of comment. It gives me a chance to see if the code as written does what the comment says it was intended to do. It's not valuable for most of the code in a project, but is incredibly valuable for certain key parts.

You're right that comments about why things were done the way they were are the most valuable ones, but this kind of comment is in second place in my book.
It works! Thank you :)
VSCode uses ordinary ssh tho.

I multiplex my ssh connections so the workflow is just ssh sgain, then reload VSCode window. If Mosh could multiplex these (and paper over the connection problems) that'd be great but after a cursory look, it doesn't look like it's possible.

It's a minor thing tho.

In general, I quite like Mosh! If I routinely had to work on faraway servers I'd use mosh just for its smart local echo.
You might be talking about the intersection of Boylston and Tremont (if you went to a school by the common you know this light well). As a pedestrian it's a shitty light because of those drivers you're describing, as a driver it's a shitty intersection because the only time you can make the left turn is while pedestrians have the walk light, and that intersection is always so jam packed with people that you can wait multiple lights and still not be able to get through unless you're driving into the throngs of people. Boston is the worst place I've ever driven, in part because of the design of the streets and in part because of the god awful drivers.

That said, it's funny how much the culture of crossing illegally varies country to country and city to city. Having lived in a few northern cities and a few southern cities in the US, attitudes vary wildly. Where I currently live, people are very skittish about crosswalks in general and will usually wait for cars to go by, even if they have the right of way in the crossing. I would guess these behaviors are so culturally engrained that laws wouldn't make much of a difference.

maybe they have higher quality pans that are less easy to scratch, or they are learning how to use those tools without causing scratches, or they simply replace them more often.

in every pot or pan i have ever used, scratches were a problem. and only metal tools could have caused them.

Maybe I mixed up that paper with another but the one I meant to post shows that you can read something like a world model from the activations of the layers.

Right, but this event just confirms gravitational radiation exists (which we already know). It can't tell us how it behaves (is it quantum? it it classical?) without detecting many events in sequence to be able to run statistics on (and if you miss one, your stats are wrong). One bar has a very low probability of detection, we'd need many, hence the expectation of planet-scale machinery.
They have VAC and the newer version that they promised would save CS2 hasn't exactly changed much from CSGO days in terms of results.

I would love for Valve to prove it is possible but so far they haven't shown it can be done without leaving a bad experience for legit players (due to delayed ban waves, etc) despite the repeated claims.
Just checked my Moccamaster and it says that it uses PET 7 plastic, which supposedly designates "other" resin. Not sure what that means if anything for food safety.
I saw this report and the first place I thought of a LOT of black plastic being in contract with hot food preparation is coffee-makers - I recall seeing zero plastic filter-holders and pot lids that are not black plastic, and every drip of coffee goes through the black plastic filter funnel and lid, then across the black plastic carafe rim.

IDK if these are part of the problem, but if so, that is a LOT of goods to replace. Anyone have any details on the type of plastic used in these coffee pots and if it is part of the problem set?
Galileo refers in this to a book he had published earlier, the "Starry Messenger". It is well worth reading.

Galileo had just build the first ever telescope and he describes what he has discovered: there are incredibly more stars than can be seen by the naked eye; Jupiter has satellites; there are mountains on the moon and he has figured out their height from the length of their shadows... The book is full of the quiet excitement of a man who has discovered a new world, and seen what no man had seen before.

The problem with it is that you don't know. The fundamental language construct "foreach" is one that may or may not allocate and it's hard for you as a developer to be sure. Many other low level things do this or at least used to (events/boxing/params arrays, ...).

I wish there was an attribute in C# that was "[MustNotAllocate]" which files the compilation on known allocations such as these. It's otherwise very easy to accidentally introduce some tiny allocation into a hot loop, and it only manifests as a tiny pause after 20 minutes of runtime.
I wish the author would do the same for image decoding. iOS inability to draw a canvas with 4096x4097 dimensions means you can't use an Off screen canvas to go from file to RGBA array.
Actually, the amazing thing is the Voyager team has documentation to know how all that stuff built in 1977 works, so they can still maintain it.

So much software nowadays is written like it's a disposable item (and then the company decides to keep using what amounts to a 2006-era paper cup from McDonalds every day in a business-critical process for the next 20 years).
The recycled plastic may, indeed, be worse than "virgin", but any plastic melting in your food seems ill advised. I'm not a zealot refusing to drink out of a plastic cup, but spatulas see a lot more heat than most cookware. My wife and I noticed our plastic spatulas (including one from a well known "reputable" brand) showing signs of melting years ago, and into the trash they went. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

China Teases 2035 'Powerhouse' Plan
I was watching a sort of car review channel and they said 4% of (new) car sales in the US are manual. I was wondering why so few of the amazing sports cars they were reviewing were manual; they just couldn't get their hands on manual versions. There was one astounding model (can't remember) that simply didn't make a manual version at all. It's probably quite silly how shocking I find all of this.

I just do not at all understand the point of a so-called sports car (especially the expensive ones!) that's not a manual! What's the point?! I genuinely do not understand why anyone would want an automatic sports car. I don't have to understand; I'm not the arbiter of anything let alone others' enjoyment of cars. I am still confused tho lol
It dates back to the constitutional ban on "ex post facto" laws. Meaning, the government can't retroactively make something illegal. Which is a good thing, IMO.

So, for example, it's illegal at the federal level to manufacture machine guns (and I'm not going to get into a gun debate or nuances as to what defines a machine gun--it's just an example). But a machine gun is legal as long as it was manufactured before the ban went into place. Because the government can't say "hey, destroy that thing that was legal to manufacture, purchase, and own when it was manufactured."

This concept is extrapolated here to say "The cops didn't do anything illegal at the time. We have determined this is illegal behavior now, but we can't use that to overturn police decisions that were made when the behavior wasn't illegal. In the future, cops won't be able to do this."
You're thinking of a "characteristic function" in the sense of "indicator function" of a subset (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_function), which is different thing to the characteristic function of a probability density function.
Our society is the richest and most productive one ever to exist on planet Earth. We're at the cusp of another order of magnitude increase in both metrics.

We can afford to take the slight efficiency of not using dubious chemicals to store and prepare our food. Bring back glass, wood, and untreated metal. No more cheap plastic microwavable crap. In the scheme of things, the incremental cost increase won't matter, and such a shift would at least give us peace of mind --- and maybe even improve our health.

I'm glad to hear that, I apologize for misunderstanding.
I appreciate your skepticism. This article has that feeling of almost being designed to create a panic. First, there's the headline, which is written in the same tone as someone warning you that you're about to step on a snake—a tone which does not invite critical thinking. Then there's the fact that since most people aren't subscribers to The Atlantic, they'll just see the first couple paragraphs and make their decisions based on that. I currently do not know how much weight I should put on what this article says, but I'm certainly scared by it, and I have enough media literacy to know that's when I should be really careful not to be fooled.
I've been a fan of using stainless steel spatulas on cast iron for years now and it doesn't seem to scratch or degrade the "seasoning" on the cast iron in any apparently meaningful way.
Journalists I get. They're paid to attract eyeballs and they're not above being a little misleading in pursuit of that goal. "When a man's salary depends..." and all that jazz. I see it the same way I see cops who are misleading on the stand, despicable but understandable.

The people who's moral compass seems far more faulty are the people in the comments who are doing the same thing but who have no comparable motive to behave in such a way. Generally, though there are a couple minor examples in here today.
I suggested "word model" because it's a catchy pun on "world model".

It's still a language and not merely words. But language is correct even when it wildly disagrees with everyday existence as we humans know it. I can say that "a one gallon milk jug easily contains 2000 liters of milk" and it's language in use as language.
Yeah Vue 2 used object getters and setters, and there were a few tricky caveats. For example, setting an array item using an index wouldn't trigger the setters (e.g. `myArray[0] = ''`). You had to remember these edge cases and use `Vue.set` [1]. Proxies made everything so much simpler, but they can't really be polyfilled at all, because they require deep JS engine integration (e.g. to register a callback that gets notified whenever a property is added to an object).

Just get a normal stainless steel pan. And leave it alone. It never sticks.
As far as I know, burning a clear PET water bottle is harmless as it only releases carbon dioxide (and water vapor).

PET is the opposite of flame-retardant, BTW. Light the top of a clear PET water bottle and it'll often burn like a candle (though much faster).
Ha sorry, weird auto-correct. Was meant to say “great omelette”.

Looks just like a capsule hotel. $700/mo is roughly $23/nt, about the same price as a basic capsule.

This past week I just happened to spend 5 consecutive nights in a capsule hotel in Yokohama, and 2 nights in a goshiwon[1] in Seoul.

In theory I liked the idea of capsules but the experience was not what I hoped. The capsule hotel was highly rated (on Booking.com) and would have been fine for 1-2 nights, but def not good for a longer stay.

- The capsule structures were metal with plastic panels, and would creak whenever anyone got in or out. It was easy to accidentally bump the wall and make a big noise.

- Climbing down the ladder was awkward.

- You could hear anyone snoring in the whole room.

- The aircon in the outer room was great, but as soon as you shut the screen across its opening, the capsule got stuffy despite its ventilation fan.

- Once at 1am, a guy intentionally pounded the wall of his capsule a few times, which reverberated through the whole structure, triggering shouting (in angry Japanese) from other capsules, and in response he just pounded the wall several more times.

The goshiwon cost about 1.7x more but was at least 4x better. A twin bed in a tiny room, with a tiny desk and a tiny window. In comparison it was an amazing value for the price.

Maybe I'd stay in a capsule again if I just needed a place to crash for the night after midnight, but otherwise never again.

>Anything that uses classes and interfaces will be memory managed by the GC...

Yes and no.
Yes, almost all of the standard library collection are allocation heavy and it is still the dominate pattern in C#, so if you want to avoid the GC you need to avoid these and resort to building your own primitives based on Memory/Span. Which sucks.

However, you can use interfaces in a no GC world since you can constrain those interfaces to be structs or ref-structs and the compiler will enforce rules that prevent them from being boxed onto the GC heap.

Also of recent note, the JIT can now automagically convert simple gc-heap allocations into stack allocations if it can trivially prove they don't escape the stack context.

> It would be better if the GC can be turned off with a switch and just add a delete operator to manually free memory.

It is a little know fact that you can actually swap out the GC of the runtime. So you could plug in a null implementation that never collects (at your own peril...)

As for a delete operator, you can just roll your own struct based allocation framework that uses IDisposable to reclaim memory. But then you need to deal with all the traditional bugs like use-after-free and double-free and the like.

For me, I think low-gc is the happy medium. Avoid the heap in 99% of cases but let the GC keep things air tight
