I was speaking largely abstractly, and I didn't forget to mention it; I, for one, know what "if" means. I don't have a strong opinion on either specific article.
When all the examples are marked with `#[tokio::main]`, it probably requires tokio.

Although I guess they do implement Future on their own so it shouldn't need a specific runtime then.

Binary operators don't "go between" 2 operands, they just consume two operands.

+ 2 3

Is a perfectly valid binary operator.

I really liked Vimperator, but sadly it was killed by the new Firefox plugin architecture.
The trillion-dollar-hard part is doing it profitably at scale. Drop that constraint and nearly any feature size is "only" million-dollar-hard (maybe 10M or 100M to run a R&D shop).

You can poke and prod anything into place with e-beams and FIBs and manually dipping wafers in baths and ovens and such. 1% yield, hour long write times, and all sorts of R&D jank are perfectly fine for checking functionality of your fancy ultra-FET design or making a ring oscillator to simulate integration. Did a grain of dust land on the wafer and ruin 100 of them? No prob, use the other 300, just try not to let it happen again. But integrating a billion transistors, coordinating them to do a billion calculations per second, QAing them to work for a billion seconds with 0 errors, and manufacturing them to profitably sell at $100 a pop? No jank allowed, no small scale antics allowed, and your budget now requires all the zeros it can find and more besides.

Nuclear energy is one of the safest already.
It's very easy to solve problems as they come by just adding more abstractions until you have this katamari damacy ball of interfaces that's completely inscrutable. God knows I do this too sometimes.

In contrast, this low abstraction style of programming feels like solving a sudoku. All the pieces need to fit as they are. It's more effort to get right. Think I went through 4 or 5 designs to get it as slimmed down as it is.

I’m not sure that’s accurate: ASML don’t make masks (i.e. the patterns), they make the EUV photolithography machines that are used in conjunction with the masks.

The physical masks themselves are usually made by Hoya, and the technology to actually etch the masks is made by Veevo.

JavaScript method call notation is arguably a ternary operator, or a candidate for the "Near Misses" list (because « foo.bar(x) » isn't the same as « var meth = foo.bar; meth(x) »).
What does this have over a J200 Land Cruiser? The Uday Husseins of the world are driving Urus's, this isn't flashy enough for them.

The original Humvee was meant to take a beating in extreme conditions. This seems like a finicky gimmick of an automobile in comparison.
A very relatable struggle. Cool project! I remember getting into WoL as a kid playing with our home PC, felt like magic to press a button on my phone and watch the fully powered off machine come to life.

Never sorted out a reliable enough system for it to be practically useful, but this gives me some ideas...
This. Many Christians take dating at face value and don't realize that most of the dating is based on the assumption that miracles (including knowing the future) is impossible, therefore the books must be written after the events mentioned therein have already occurred in the past.
Mars, Earth and the Moon are close enough neighbors that rocks which could harbor life are already exchanged between them during impact events.

I think reasonable caution by space agencies is wise but it also could have already happened a billion years ago. If we want to survive as a species or lineage of species beyond the Sun enveloping the Earth we will also need to deliberately establish viable life on other planets and even other solar systems at some point, previous historical records of ancestral life or present planetary sterility be damned. Life seems too rare in the universe for it to go down with the ship, we should make an effort to duplicate this experiment even if humanity doesn't make it.
I can see the false self as a lie but I can also see it as misperception of other’s intentions.

Developing response from stimulus in one environment and blindly applying it in other circumstances I see as dysfunction.
Fail. This property is rented to 2 families. So it’s price reduced by at least €200k compared to an empty property. You’ll never get out 2 families at once as long as they pay rent.

That is so outside the norm. Average in the US is about $71k and varies WILDLY from state to state, school to school, district to district, and importantly, that variation is one of the huge problems in the first place.

You get that $70k in the big city school where those dollars do not go very far, while out in the boonies where a shitload of teaching is done, you make far, far, far less.

Is it typical to just present findings and hope to get rewarded? What would the expected reward amount be in similar circumstances where they did pay up? Do companies pay more to prevent articles like this being published? Sorry if these are stupid questions - I know little about this area.
Getting a passable PDF from an ePub is probably significantly easier than the reverse, so I'm all for having both, yes! (And please don't charge me twice for the privilege, publishers.)

> What are you talking about? They don't store files either.

Running I2P would require more storage than the status quo of not running it. They usually store torrents and or magnet links, not the files themselves. I don’t know how much overhead running I2P would be over and above running a tracker also?

> I thought it was largely account-based, not IP-based.

Yes, those are not mutually exclusive. You have an account and the tracker binds the IP that downloads the torrent to a cookie or to a unique tracker announce url.

If it were keys to a safe that existed outside of the warrant requirements (in another country in fact), then it would likely not be illegal. The regulators would unlikely be able to legally access that safe anyways without extra due process, so it’s mostly about protecting against unwarranted access.
>the implication is that if you don't give them money they may obtain money through nefarious means.

It sounds like you're saying that the fault of thefts is on the people who don't give money to panhandling addicts.

>Certainly, if you or I were pushed to homelessness and addicted to hard drugs stealing wouldn't be off the table.

"If you were different to the way you are, you would do things you wouldn't otherwise do" is a rather inane thing to say, don't you think? You don't need to argue for the fact that people steal; that's obvious.

The alternative to nuclear isn’t solar, it’s gas. We’re already deploying solar and wind and batteries as quickly as we can. Follow the money: the anti-nuclear establishment is now funded by gas. (Which is being deployed at a similar clip to solar.)
> 100 um is 4mil

Just checking, "4mil"? When I see (or hear) "mil" I assume millimeters, which clearly isn't right here, but I don't know if this is autocorrupt or if this is shorthand for something else I've never seen called this before, say "1e-4 meters"?

Show HN: Create GitHub issues from voice memo and LLM
Hey HN!

I'm working on some early demos that will support much better async communication for Developers, Engineering Managers, and Product people.

We are all too familiar with the empty tickets that were used more as breadcrumbs rather than actual context, criteria, and purpose for getting work done.

I want to solve that as well as help non-technical product managers be able to give sufficient context to developers / EMs when making picking from the backlog or prioritizing.

This is a short demo of the workflow and I welcome your feedback.

https://youtu.be/DylAOtOk4tM
They're just using tokio as a dev dependency. You could use this with any async runtime

> yet we live in societies that profit off unfree labor and modern slavery. Is it that much different?

Yes, chattel slavery is very different from being a poor person in America.
It looks like this is primarily intended to distribute variables to client applications. Secrets are not candidates for this kind of distribution.
> How is "woman birth" supposed to be different? Are people not normally born from... women?

It's referring to the to, not the from. But in either case, yes; however, males are usually involved. In this case, it's woman exclusive.

They simply use sperm to stimulate the urge to procreate/kick off the process. Thus, the need for other species to be spawning nearby.
The teams who compile the standard libraries are still made up of people, and sometimes better libraries get written outside of those teams. It's just a natural consequence of the intense collaboration we have in this industry. In fact, I am GLAD things happen this way, because it shows how flexible and open minded folks are when it comes to such libraries.

Naming things is... well, you know...
Would be nice if I could just flip a switch and stop using all language that I want to cut out.

I am currently working on getting rid of "I think" and ending statements with a "haha" (I hate this one). Sometimes I write a work message like: "I think we can just create a new token for it haha" and I want to slap myself. haha.

If I wrote that sentence as "We can create a new token for it" instant boost in respect from my peers and director level promotion in the works.
That’s a name that won’t go unnoticed by the german speaking colleagues.
I also don't expect nothing other from thief then continuing to steal.

I also expect thieves to be protective of their own assets.

I'm just saying they are still thieves and any outrage in their name is misplaced.

Screw the French when they are robbed for the benefit of other countries, because they steal from other countries using their public companies as well.
What about if you're within 100 miles of a border?
I'm not sure I'd say that it can't be done. In some languages it could be implemented if the language itself supports optionals. So "bool ? x" could result in an Optional<type(x)>, while "Optional<type(x)> : y" could be the typical implementation of value_or that is found on optionals.

Whether it's a good idea to implement it that way is something I haven't come to an opinion on yet. My only argument is that "can't be decomposed" feels like it's a little to far reaching.

Edit: to add on to this, while it's not really a ternary operator in the sense he seems to be looking for. It it common for assembly to have fma instructions. But this feels like a really weird edge case since x * y + z technically can be decomposed into the 2 separate operators, but the fma instruction itself can't be decomposed without losing precision.
After some thinking, the ternary conditional operator can be decomposed into 2 composing binary operators like such:

? takes a bool, a T, and returns option<T>

true?b == Result b

false?b == None

: takes an Option<T> and a T and returns T

Result x : y == x

None : y == y

However, in most languages (looking at you php) the ?: act as a type of parenthesis: in a?b:c, any expression goes into b, no matter it's precedence.
Nobody ever created a reliable self-contained foolproof PCB etching procedure. That's why nobody etches their own PCBs.

If there was a box that received supplies and outputted usable PCBs with minimum external mess, a lot of people that currently buy boards would use it instead.

(And well, PCB manufacturing is basically the same process as chip fabrication, without the miniaturization. If nobody managed to create a "PCB printer", why do people keep hopping for a "chip printer"?)
Are you saying that the fact that tech companies presumably run the numbers and decided to invest in nuclear is the argument? That basically amounts to saying "you don't need to see the data, just trust these guys' evaluation of the data".

For most of us the compelling argument would be the underlying data and decision making that Amazon made, not the outcome of Amazon's decision alone.

OTOH, remote space colonies get zero-g manufacturing, along with free vaccum so hard that makes our best artificial vaccum systems seem like a Florida garden during a hurricane in comparison.

What they get to do may not help with DIY in a garage on Earth.
Those are good reasons for yourself, sure. But other people existing is an important reason too.
> I've been able to press a button on the wheel and say "tune to am 1510" and it'll tune that without having to take my hands or eyes

Every time I try to talk to the voice assistant its the most horrible driving experience. It hijacks everything, and definitely sets me to where I have to pull over, or just stop trying to talk to it to get anything done. It does not understand me whatsoever.
> Are you sure university labs are really able to to this?

Yes, I know of multiple universities that have labs for small scale IC production. In fact anywhere doing research in the field will have some ability to build these things, or access to the industrial labs nearby. Even in industry, there are small scale labs that are used to develop the processes before they get built out at scale.

> If so how come only a few companies like tsmc and that one Dutch company are able to manufacture microchips?

There are thousands of chip manufacturers worldwide. TSMC is just the largest/most cutting edge. ASML is the company that makes special tools for IC manufacturing (however, researchers can/do experiment with the things that ASML is doing on smaller scales).

But keep in mind - no researcher at a university is trying to manufacture millions of 3nm CPUs for next year's iPhone. Just as an example, today we have GaN switches in our 100+W USB-C chargers that fit in your pocket. That directly came from university and industry research in small scale labs into high bandgap semiconductors, which was developed by fabbing real circuits and testing them.
Not disagreeing with you, but do you have a link on process which includes your callouts would work for micro services?
Hmm, but this how we handle it? We just have a CLI that outputs exactly, goal, state, and asks user for more clarity if needed, no GUI.
The original idea was to make it completely headless.
Gravitational Lensing Simulation
Got it. Yeah, that would likely be easiest to resolve by exploring the closure with nix-tree and looking at how to eliminate or split dependencies. But pkgsStatic can be a handy fallback option too.
>It’s a degreed position with ~100 days PTO annually

They do not get 100 days of PTO. They get an hour per work week of PTO and a mandatory 2 month leave. You can't do anything with that leave because there is no simultaneous need for more workers for those two months in any other industry, so you are basically furloughed.

Keep in mind, the states that aren't killing education generally require serious credentials, like a 4 year degree, to make on average $70k a year.

This also completely ignores the mountains of unpaid work teachers do. Every single hour of homework they have to give out to ensure kids get the practice they need to internalize a lesson is at least an hour of grading work, and that's for the easy stuff like fill in the bubble tests that you can literally automate.

My mother regularly spent until 7pm working her teaching job, because that is what is required to be a good teacher.
But my point was more that if it shows 45 (but real is 35), and then you work out a lot and it shows 55 (but real is now around 45), it's still useful even though the values are off. As long as the error/bias is the same.
one salmon net, a big swoop, and you have a drone and a package.

Short Story: Survival Without Dignity
Only Gruber was able to write an essay in defense of Apple mouse. I will easily trade every argument he wrote for usb port in normal place.
Yes. For example, you might want to change a column of 10 million strings from upper case to lower case. Or concatenate 2 columns to create a third column. It is not clear to me this would be any faster on a GPU.
> Any explanation for how it simplifies orchestration.

There are many examples in the docs. Here are few:

1. ALl accelerators are supported natively (no operators are required).

2. Distributed task work out of the box [1]

3. For inference, OpenAI compatible gateway is provided automatically for any models deployed; along with authentication. [2]

4. Cluster management is a lot more convenient for AI compared to K8S [3]

More than anything else, dstack is more lightweight; no one need to know K8S.

I'm biased but we talk to a lot of users that choose dstack because they don't want to deal with K8S

>dstack supports NVIDIA GPU, AMD GPU, and Google Cloud TPU out of the box.

AWS accelerators are in the plan of course!

Twenty-five facts about The Winter's Tale
Marginally related. I wish I knew the context any more, but I encountered something like this.

App keeps updating. Version N understands version N-1's saved data, maybe N-2, N-3, but not indefinitely. Still you're lulled into a sense of security; your data will always be retrievable. Goes without saying that the app modifies the data store to the latest version.

But then you don't use it for a while and you it's now at N+10 and you still have data from N, and it's slid out of the "backwards compatibility window" and is no longer readable. And the intermediate versions of the App are not available. Now you're screwed. One such scenario, for sure, is updating from version N to, say, N+5 of Android and trying to migrate your data, but I think it was something else.

Agreed with a sibling that this is somewhat abusing the terminology. In/pre/postfix of the operators is a different thing from how many terms an operator acts on. Indeed, in RPN, it was not uncommon to try and execute an operator but not have enough terms on the stack.

Seems that we typically call the ?: combination a ternary operator largely stems from the distinction between operators, functions, and keywords. One that we largely don't keep in a consistent fashion. Add in functions versus methods, and things get really fun.

Programming also has the odd case where functions have an easy syntax to say that there are multiple inputs, but we don't have a common syntax to say there are multiple outputs. Which is something that is quite common in every domain.
I am so right wing I sympathize with sovereign citizens and push for anti-overreach reforms on that basis.
