It's beyond that.
There's information required to evaluate the current state that is currently unavailable - meaning that the current state of things will not be defined until the future.
Because the problem is perfectly avoidable with very little technical understanding, and this is Hacker News.
That only works in scenarios where competency is superfluous.
I'd like to see brain scans of burnt out people contrasted with those of people with PTSD.
With a more than fair share of both, I'm not sure that they're genuinely distinct phenomena.
I'd also be interested in how either/both tie in to depression.
Valhalla is what you want, at least for some of it.
interface Box<T> {
T get();
void set(T val);
}
interface IntBox extends Box<int> {
int get();
void set(int val);
}
I had a boss who actually acknowledged that he was deliberately holding up my development process - this was a man who refused to allow me a four day working week.
Thanks, but it really wasn't - it was just the least shit of the top five results for "civil war bioluminescence".
I'd much prefer a more scientific article, especially one that delves into the (let's say) caste system of the bacteria - where one of it's developmental forms is symbiotic with a nematode (?) worm, and the other colonises plant roots.
I'm guessing it was more than likely the plant root form (resident in forest soil) rather than the worm gut symbiote - I doubt they'd've ended up calling it "angel's glow" if the soldiers wounds had been wriggling.
The other thing that puts me off is that it's one of a general class of fawning article about high schoolers, when (for one reason or another) what the child did wasn't really that impressive.
In this case because her mother clearly did her homework for her.

My favourite story about bioluminescence is "angel's glow" in the civil war.
A bioluminescent microbe colonised the wounds of civil war soldiers, beating out pathogens and preventing sepsis.
I had it go boom on Tumbleweed (when the drive filled up) less than a year ago.
I tried accessing and fixing the fubar partition from a parallel install, but to no avail.
Defining 1/0=0 isn't really helpful imho
But it's quite a nice way to mask program bugs.
As someone who has pulled himself back from suicidality, I absolutely abhor the expression "died by suicide".
If I had gone through with it, I would have killed myself - and any euphemisms being thrown around would serve no-one at all (especially not those still living in that hole).
I would much rather have it framed as me having done something unforgivably stupid and completely preventable - but as a society we'd much rather reject that reality and instead refuse to acknowledge that more often than not the signs were all there; that not only was the death an irreversible act of idiocy, but it was also something that we could've and should've stopped yet did nothing to prevent.
It's a moot point.
Changes should be in place in time for regression testing, if you cannot manage that wait for the next cycle.
Those same rules apply to everyone, and you're being called out for not only repeatedly ignoring them, but also for refusing to listen to that criticism.
Yeah, it kinda was - https://lore.kernel.org/all/172816780614.3194359.10913571563...
He was refusing to contribute his code according to the rules (by which everyone is meant to abide), avoiding regression testing and creating bugs.
And he certainly didn't help his case with tone deaf comments like this:
If you're so convinced you know best, I invite you to start writing your own filesystem. Go for it.
That's nowhere near useful enough to justify such a significant security flaw.
Relative coordinates sure, but why would you need the absolute position?
I'm with you on the second point - as unlikely as it is for the click to occur at the origin, it's still a legitimate value being abused as an indicator of something that might not actually be true - quite frankly the code was bad to begin with, and it was still bad after the fix.
The idea that the novel coronavirus didn't escape from the local coronavirus R&D laboratory never had anywhere near enough evidence to be credible.
It was pretty much the WHO simply repeating the claims of the Chinese government, who had already tried to cover up the outbreak (with any warnings sent to the WHO coming from Taiwan instead).
It was about as believable as the completely baseless claims that the emergency use authorised vaccine was safe and effective.
Worst case scenario, you can always still turn it into wood.
Artificial not-intelligence would be an actual intelligence pretending not to be.
Like a cuttlefish disguised as a rock.
Of course it didn't have intelligence, as I stated - it's artificial.
artificial diamonds and synthetic diamonds are the exact same thing
No, they aren't. Artificial diamond generally refers to cubic zirconia - which is not a diamond.
Synthetic diamond refers to genuine diamonds produced by humans (rather than natural forces).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_simulant#Artificial_si...
Yes, because our society rampantly abuses language ignoring the actual meanings of words.
As far as science fiction goes, it's irrelevant - we live in the real world and have had AI for a long time now (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertie_the_Brain).
You don't know what artificial means.
They're wrong.
Any actor that simulates any aspect of intelligence is a genuine AI - it doesn't even need to be adaptive.
Pong had AI.
It's not an intelligence, artificial or otherwise
That's what artificial means (even Pong had AI). If it ever becomes intelligent, it will be a synthetic intelligence (not an AGI).
For example, artificial vs synthetic diamonds; the former just looks the part, the latter is the genuine article - but manufactured as opposed to naturally formed.
It would be better if the GC can be turned off with a switch and just add a delete operator to manually free memory.
This breaks the fundamental assumptions built into pretty much every piece of software ever written in the language - it's a completely inviable option.
Incorporating a borrow checker allows for uncollected code to be incorporated without breaking absolutely everything else at the same time.
To my understanding (not the best) there's a huge disconnect between the physics of the very small (quantum mechanics and the standard model) and that of the very large (general relativity).
The disconnect seems to be unresolvable (I don't understand this part at all) and so efforts are being made to quantise gravity and incorporate it into the standard model.
It seems kinda vital to me - there needs to be an informational bottleneck somewhere.
Well that seems "obviously malicious", feel free to re-read my comment if you're feeling less illiterate than before.
Because Chrome even explicitly states that traffic to a site with an expired certificate is unencrypted.
If that's the case, then Google's condescension is doing a disservice to its users.
It's insane the way that browsers shit the bed if there's any issue with the certificate.
Just throw in a big red exclamation point on top of the little padlock icon next to the URL bar - it's literally only there to inform the user about any potential security issues. Use it and (unless the site is known to be or obviously malicious) load the bloody page.
Honestly, it's absolutely insane that the browser misrepresent out of chain HTTPS as more of a threat than HTTP.
