   I live in the US and drink orange juice about once a year so it's not worth even thinking about whether there might be a safety differential between brands, it'll work itself out. On the other hand diet, sleep, exercise, driving h

   The risk of being affected by this is so small as to be insignificant compared to the many likelier causes of death and injury that you can also do much more about.

   In the early days of Rust there was a debate about whether to support "green threads" and in doing that require runtime support. It was actually implemented and included for a time but it creates problems when trying to do library

   I'm guessing allocator time, memory usage, and cache residency are the major performance considerations. Vec knows what size it is so the comparison is cheap and in any case collect is already expected to allocate depending on what it

   Someone here linked an open ticket for this issue. In the comments at least one person made basically the same argument that holding on to a potentially large % of memory is a surprising sharp edge, meanwhile shrinking the Vec and perhaps a

   I think the behavior is that if you have a Vec of u128 (say 1000), filter that to fewer elements (say 10), and then collect it into a Vec of u32 you might expect the resulting value to be around 40 bytes but in beta Rust it is 16000 bytes.

   One angle is to look at when we expect there to be data showing a new autopilot vehicle is at least equivalently safe to a new non-autopilot vehicle with modern ADAS. I don't think the performance is there yet, hard to tell when it wil

   Ah yes, DirectStream Digital. I think the math behind that was solid but there wasn't really any point because PCM was totally sufficient. The company I was working for made AD and DA converters for recording studios and film so we wer

    There was a period where my listening setup used BruteFIR running filters generated by this DRC program. To my ear it sounded really good, especially managing some of the quirks having large speakers in a small space. It was sort of an anti

    My favorite from when I used to be around this stuff was a CD demagnetizer.

    Function-level caching is the best match for how I'd use it. Often the reason for bothering to cache is that the underlying process is slow, so some kind of future-with-progress wrapper could also be interesting. An example of how that

    This looks quite nice and it might compose well with a cache library like the one posted on HN recently (XetCache, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38696631 ).

    I've been hoping someone with the right knowledge would do a public update to the Segal method. The stuff that's widely documented wouldn't meet modern code or work as well with modern materials, but that's probably fixa

    Initially the Linux drivers and wireless stack were pretty rough too, I think OpenBSD had the first open support that worked well especially for running in AP mode.

    Pour one out for Orinoco support. Those old Wavelan cards were the mainstay of community wireless networks in the early 2000s as well as the card Apple rebranded as the first AirPort cards.

    Is it a noise issue? If you take a newer open-air style card and lower the power limit it should be fairly quiet and still much faster than what you've got. You can also tinker with limiting the clock speed and maybe get even lower, en

    It's a breach of client confidentiality. The cap table is confidential customer data and they are handing that over to their sales team to hunt for business.

    This reads like a disjointed opinion piece but it does link to one piece of research on the topic by Joel Kotkin that looks a bit more grounded in data: https://joelkotkin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/R

    I ordered a gallon of urethane and they just stuck it in a comically large box with no padding. Miracle it didn't break all the way open in shipping. Edit: They also tried to send a replacement, marked it as undeliverable, and charged

    Thanks, that makes sense. For context: having little kids we also keep all the crawl-accessible spaces pretty clean which includes under couches etc. Manual vacuum immediately for any obvious mess to keep it from spreading, robot to handle

    I'm curious how you came to the conclusion the Max SKUs aren't much faster, the distributions in the charts make them look faster but the text below just says they look the same.

    Is there any reason the hardware on say Intel integrated GPU hardware shouldn't be able to do the same? Even outside of gaming the rise of composited desktops seems like motivation to push for low copy + low latency graphics systems.

    Ah, yes I would imagine cost to do the work in the Bay area would be pretty significant unless you can do much of it yourself. Being nonstructural it's not high risk to DIY but with small kids around that's a big project.

    Looking at the floor plan I'm curious if some of the storage area is up for grabs. If it's currently unfinished space then it's an opportunity to build in a lot of noise isolation (separated inner wall and a lot of insulation

    Or "cheap" is defined by more than the cost of a house. Usually lack of local economy and jobs is the reason those towns are shrinking.

    War, plague, famine, etc have been around since the population was 1000x smaller and before. Cities too.

    Interesting, Zephyr (built on Mistral 7b) gives a pretty reasonable description of the process pros / cons without referencing SPACs by that name.
