The UK spawned a bunch of successful countries. Since it lost control, some have been wildly successful and all have developed. So there's something about them and their way of operating that worked. Part of that has to be location - the Dutch were in the wrong place and got stomped on by Spain to their detriment but I think they had the same attitude to enterprising/adventuring/financing - perhaps even more so.

As a colonial myself the bit about exploitation is just so much cheap envy/sour grapes/whatever. All over the world people get exploited by someone and get conquered by someone. A "country" is just a lot of bits that someone conquered. In the ancient world I don't think anything was great but it was probably better in the end to be conquered by the Romans than many others. In the same vein the British weren't the worst and got a bit smarter over time. What they really did was open the world to trade, of course in just as unfair a manner as any other colonial power ... but it was both good and bad for them. Initially they had the industrial revolution, but they couldn't stop the same thing happening elsewhere once they turned on the flow of trade.

Now a university degree isn't a guarantee of a great job - because many people have one. Similarly many countries have industrialised economies with an educated population now. Europeans or any other formerly advantaged country find it harder to command high prices for their own products while enjoying the products of less advanced countries at a discount.

Countries with large scale like the US and China can make the incredible investments needed to make the next advancements. Countries like Britain can only do it when they team up as in the EU. The Brexiters are essentially luddites who cannot see this writing on the wall - they desperately believe that scaling up is something they can avoid. They want to retain control of something that shrinks until it is nothing because they are scared utterly **tless of the changes that might happen if they aren't in control. It's like trying to climb back into the womb.
Yep. Because targeting 5k IPs is way harder than targeting all 4 billion

I’d agree nationalism played a big role, but I’d also argue that was being driven by a right wing press that had used Europe as a scapegoat for decades to explain away economic disparity. Meanwhile there are legitimate complaints about the EU, its opaque democracy and extensive bureaucracy.
Most or all of your replies are to people who hallucinate things you didn’t say. Your patience is inspiring.
>A interested population is key to not having power concentrated in the hands of few who will exploit it inevitably.

Doesn't this suggest its populations' collective votes that matter, not individuals' efforts? It could be different if you have a sizable audience or something and can effectively influence that population, but otherwise, individual votes are irrelevant. If you're not in power, positive personal outcomes can be mutually exclusive with being hyperinformed.
All requests expect errors. How a developer handles them... well...

And for limit checking, how often do you write array limit handlers? And if the BE contract doesn't specify? Additionally, it will need as a regression unit test, because who knows when the next developer will remove that limit check.
I support 24/7 surveillance in all areas of schools. Maybe bathrooms and like can be remodelled to single occupancy and equipped with AI detectors for multiple people and then manually checked.
One way I've seen this done in practice is to construct an offline model that produces an initial set of posterior samples, then construct a second, online model that takes posterior samples and new observations as input and constructs a new posterior. This probably wouldn't make sense computationally in a high-frequency streaming context, but (micro)batching works fine.

I've seen lots of other approaches proposed for this over the years, here's a recent Stan forum thread with some links: https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/updating-model-based-on-new-...

movable type are not used in china until oil based ink and metal casting technology mature in Europe.
Which other country? Surely you dont mean for EU member states, since the patent would now be cancelled.

For other countries, with different legal systems? The ruling wouldn't be binding as precedent of foreign courts doesn't bind and the law on what makes a valid patent is different. Maybe it looks kind of bad, but so does cancelling your patents right before they are ruled invalid.
Thanks, that's a more accurate reverse effect to placebo.

I was thinking in a wider sense, negative effect of mind on health instead of positive. It's intriguing to what extent it's speculated the mind is able to affect the physical health.
As someone that was previously bullish on Workers but now fully disillusioned with a barely positive cost basis on it right now I disagree with this - if anything I feel burned for believing and continuing to believe.

Either way, people like me aren’t going to be able to capture even a tenth of the success of joining Google in 2005 or buying a $1m house in Palo Alto ~4 years after graduating (I’m 6.5 years out of graduating) because people like me aren’t as human as the folks that own this house.
Something (unrelated) that surprised me here is that the author has two decades of posts on this blog, leading back to their first post about a new version of C# (https://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2005/09/)

Personally as a younger software guy I had no idea that C# had type inference back in 2005- an interesting perspective shift!
Without even judging the overall design (personally I don't mind the simplicity), why on earth do they use such inconsistent fonts? 3 different font sizes (and maybe also mismatching horizontal spacings) for 5 assorted logos??? This is insane...

One of my favourite books and authors, I gave my copy to my photojournalism tutor after I explained how this book helped open up my mind and related directly to the photojournalism concept of “creating order out of chaos”, which has since become applicable to every part of my professional life!

Need to go dig out his other books and get myself another copy of this. And clone this repo.
> GR says spacetime is curved by mass, right.

Wrong. GR says that gravitation can be modeled as acceleration.
ISP gives me /24 and I configure my router at .1: I do nothing.

ISP gives me /64 and I configure my router at ::1: in WarCraft I orcs voice We are under attack!

There is really no difference between setting anything on "::3, ::5, ::7, ::a, ::b, ::c, ::f" for IPv6 and for .1, .2, .3, .10, .11 on IPv4. Using these addresses do not lower you security in any way compared to IPv4.

The real difference is what with IPv4 you can just scan the whole /24 in seconds, while with IPv6... it's not seconds at least.
Why would ARM be making more per single Apple chip than they could get from Qualcomm even in the worst case?

ARM’s business model is not that great to begin with, losing Qualcomm would have a massive impact (obviously same applies to both companies ).
That's a serious part of Midjourney business strategy. Hard to imagine how much money did they save on the frontend.
> Most of the time most people will take the simplistic view

Are you aware that we call that a social cost and condemn it? Why are you stating a tautology, "good work requires effort"?
A top tier CS program is going to make you learn computer architecture along side automata and proofs. MIT went the extra mile with the SICP, it was honestly a hole I didn’t have access to in my top tier program, but I only realized this because I studied PL in grad school. You should go through it if you haven’t, I think it would have made my ugrad experience better and I definitely benefited from a great well rounded curriculum already (UW CSE is still no slouch, but it isn’t MIT!).

If you are into physics and mechanics, then you have to check the SICM (SICP’s less famous cousin) out as well. Again, MIT went the extra mile with that as well.
Agreed so much. The total neglect for people still using lo-DPI (a macos term) screens is just plan insult. I see a lot of excuses for axing subpixel hinting with the solution being, "buy a hi-DPI screen."
> and I'm sure I know some non-binary people who just haven't told me

That's quite a sexist perspective really. "Non-binary" is just a way of othering people who don't fit restrictive sex stereotypes.
Singapore is nowhere close to being as tax-haveny as Luxembourg, any of the Caribbean islands administered by a foreign power, the Isle of Man, or the Channel islands.

Singapore saw a sustained ~8-10% real GDP growth from almost immediately after independence. It relied on manufacturing, reprocessing, and assembly to get there. Only in the past ~20 years has it really shifted to being a financial economy—and even then, it still has a pretty strong manufacturing base.
F# :)

Expression-oriented, HM type inference with gradual typing, faster than other FP languages, can even reach for low-level bits, or write extra glue code in C# which is more pleasant at low-level imperative code.

Not sure what exactly you refer to as idiomatic C#. If it has too much ceremony chances are it’s anything but!
Guess you forgot what you was talking (and I was responding to) about the ports not addresses.
How's that going
It would take years for Qualcomm to catch up. They’d be in a much worse than for example Intel is in now.

By the time they had a competitive RISC-V core (just look at how lo no it took them to ship Oryon and it would be much harder) Qualcomm would be either bankrupt of sold for parts.
And if it helps RISC-V it helps China so.. even greater, greater good.
It's incredibly ironic

"Functional Programming in Scala" aka "Red Book of Scala" is a the one that IMO teaches to think the same way as SICP, while using a typed language. The books stand next to each other on my bookshelf, definitely worth reading.
My sister needed a liver transplant last year after many years of decreasing liver function. Given her age and other factors, they told her to expect to wait three to five years for a deceased donor, and that she likely would not live long enough for that. Of her six siblings, three of us passed the initial screenings to be donors. As we were about to start the more invasive tests, a deceased donor became available and my sister was the only match within the distance they were willing to transport the liver. Five hours later she went into surgery. She was only on the recipient list for two days. Everything went as well as could be expected and, in many ways, she's doing better than she has in decades.

It's very complicated to think about the donor. All they told us was that it was an 18-year old who died in a traffic accident. We are all so grateful for the liver, and so sad for the donor's loved ones. Hopefully knowing that the donation saved another life and a part of their loved one lives on gives them some solace.

I hope your case goes so well. Good luck!
Isn't Twitter funded by SA and Russians?
Well, I did measure performance overhead of all those asserts of course (not just the range checks). It was somewhere around 2% of the frame budget which isn't nothing, but also not enough to justify removing the asserts.
That’s not evidence for the assertion you made.
Well maybe. But without further experimentation it would probably not that viable. It also needs a lot of tech which is also developed by a European company, that has basically 90% of that market.
And know the us has a president that is not eu friendly, we will See what happens.
I'm sure they do but you can't lower the general price level without the economy imploding because everyone's in too much debt. Imagine if you just bought a house and then housing prices halved - your loan balance is now twice the value of your house.

You could just declare all nominal prices 100x lower and make everyone rewrite their loan contracts, it'd make the penny useful again too, but the best approach is to just wait until expectations reset or voters find a new thing to get mad about.

(Prices can go down in some sectors, like food/oil/technology; nobody really has a good explanation for when this is safe and when it isn't.)

Also, in this case the guy who got elected was running on explicitly inflationary policy - low interest rates, tax cuts and tariffs. Though I don't think voters knew that.
TFA argues developers add it left and right, unless someone memorised all the rules. Since reportedly it's not possible to memorise all the rules by a single human, then you either "simply add undefined behaviour", or limit yourself to a subset of C++ that programmers do actually understand. Which is a solution I see in many codebases: to limit a set of permissible constructs by a style manual.

I did say those words. And I said them after the comment I'm asking about. They are irrelevant to my question, because I'm asking what the comment I originally replied to meant.

You said "the minute you change the port, you just become of more interest" and then talked about places that are less "benevolent" than shodan.

Is being of "more interest" to less "benevolent" places supposed to imply an increased risk of being hacked, or not?
Show HN: denoise: Boost your LinkedIn feed productivity

This is a weirdly arrogant comment given both TFA and the fact that professional physicists have worked on MOND and disagree with everything you've said.

Is this typical behaviour for physicsts? Extremely strong opinions expressed in an abrasive way, out of proportion to the available evidence?
You seem to have missed my final point - it isn't about the trivia. The reason that Arthurian legend is so broad and encompassing, is because it's all fiction. That people should write new stories with it.

It isn't about what my favourite trivia is. It's that everyone can have their favourite bits.
I noticed that for messages facing the camera, ones further away from the screen occlude ones closer to the screen. I assume there's an alpha layering/rendering order error going on (assuming no order-independent transparency)?
I've tried to find more context about the two letters (1939 and 1940) that Gandhi sent to Hitler, but I still don't understand their purpose. Gandhi had been facing the British Empire for years, he knew that sweet admonishing letters would have no effect. Were they just for Public Relations? Absurd hope for a miracle? Or as a personal satisfaction?

And after reading a few comments: be cautious before idolizing Gandhi. Of course, he did great things, but he was not a saint. His stature in South Africa (where he worked as a British solicitor) is contested because of his racist opinions at the time. When I read Gandhi's memoirs, I was also shocked by his low consideration for women: he claimed he would kill his daughters rather than they were dishonoured ; he didn't care for what his daughters thought. He didn't care either for the women's feelings (and his wife) when he used to sleep with young girls, to test his repression of his sexual desires.
My argument is that 90% of problems can be solved with arrays, 5% of problems can be solved with memoization, 3% of problems can be solved with b-trees, and 2% of problems with other data structures.

It is good to know that solutions to the 2% exists, but what we should be focusing on is writing the simplest code possible which solves the problem and then only optimize afterwards using a profiler.
God forbid you have to work on some codebase written by someone who believes they are the second coming of haskell with crazy recursion and backtracing, monads, red black trees, and a DSL on top of the whole thing.

You are right that many problems can be solved with a single box, but my argument is that you do not need fancy algorithms to solve problems on a single box. We should strive to use single boxes whenever possible to reduce complexity.

Computation is designed by humans to serve humans, we should make it as easy as possible for humans to understand. I’m probably going to start a flamewar here, but this is why simple solutions like UNIX and golang have prevailed in the past. Simple code is easy to understand and therefore it is easy to modify and reason about. Some people think simple means that you decompose programs into the smallest possible functional parts, but simple to me is a 500 line main function.

Never heard of M4 before and, lo and behold, of course HN has a discussion of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34159699

The author discusses Logica vs. plain SQL vs POSIX.

I’d always start with dbt/ Sqlmesh.

The library you’re talking about exists: dbt packages.

Check out hub.getdbt.com and you’ll find dozens of public packages for standardizing sources, data formatting or all kinds of data ops.

You can use almost any query engine/ DB out there.

Then go for dbt power user in VS Code or use Paradime and you have first class IDE support.

I have no affiliation with any of the products, but from a practitioner perspective the gap between these technologies (and their ecosystems) is so large that the ranking of value for programming is as clear as they come.
You're absolutely right, especially considering the canonical CSS-in-a-box logo has long been established [1], and they should really embrace it if they had any sense of humor.

Perhaps those brutalist logos were designed specifically such that they could be rendered using CSS itself?
Though I could understand why they'd want to distance themselves from the old "shield" logo that turned out to signify shielding "browser vendors" from broad implementation of CSS renderers and to keep a niche of job security at W3C, Inc. due to rampant and unwarranted complexity, but in any case was burnt by being placed next to vulgar metalhand vectors, not to speak of being culturally discriminative when viewed in a "woke" interpretation.

I've done a multi-seat gaming VM back in the day too. I don't think I'd want to do it again. Assigning hotplug USB devices was a pain: I mostly wanted unique USB devices per computer to easily figure which device was which. Though nowadays I would probably use a thin client Raspberry Pi running Moonlight to do it cheaply.

I think another issue is the limited amount of PCI-E lanes now that HEDT is dead. I picked up a 5930k for my build at the time for its 40 PCI-E lanes. But now consumer CPUs basically max out at 20-24 lanes.

Also with the best CPUs for gaming nowadays being AMD's X3D series because of its additional L3 cache, I wonder about the performance hit with 2 different VMs fighting for cache. Maybe the rumored 9950X3D will have 2 3D caches and you'd be able to pin the VMs to each CPU cores/cache. The 7950X3D had 3D cache only on half of its cores, so games generally performed better pinned to only those cores.

So with only 2-3 VMs/PC, and you still needing a GPU for each VM which are the most expensive part anyway, I'd pay a bit more to do it without VMs. The only way I'd be interested in multiseat VM gaming again would be if I could utilize GPU virtualization: split up a single GPU into many VMs. But like you say in the article that's usually been limited to enterprise hardware. And even then it'd be interesting only for the flexibility, being able to run 1 high-end GPU for when I'm not having a party.
This seems supported by the fact that the repo is not under a Google org and it has a single maintainer.

In Gaza and Palestine any peaceful resistance is surely useless, as there is a complete ethnic divide between the colonizers and the colonized and there is no place for the colonized in the future plans for the land. Any non-violent resistance will be met with enough violence to drive the people away (and to create a justification for driving the people away).

In Ukraine, since the point is controlling the land and not replacing the original population, non-violent resistance would not have stopped Russia but would have saved the Ukrainians most if not all the suffering and bloodshed.

Yes. Already during the Roman empire the Ruhr valley was denuded as the trees were cut down to make charcoal for iron making.

With modern technology we can do better, e.g. torrefaction produces bio-coal with about 90% of the original energy in the wood, but OTOH the scale is way beyond what was seen in the ancient world.
