No, it's approximately 1e180. You're off by 160 orders of magnitude.

The parasitic resistance will be orders of magnitude larger than your sample resistance, any detector capable of detecting the sample resistance would be completely swamped out by it.

The operator's business is not the concern here.

It's like "High Frequency" radio waves, which are actually at the low end of the spectrum used in practice today.

As far as I can tell, 127°C is just the highest temperature it was tested at. The critical temperature may be higher.

This looks really cool, I'll try it out on some of my repos to get a feel for it.

Too bad support/discussion happens entirely on Discord.

The setup was "Suppose room temperature superconductor technology is validated and replicated", so most of your comment is irrelevant to the question asked.

That's an interesting parallel to circumcision, which is also an unnecessary routine procedure in the US, but generally only done for acute medial reasons in Europe (ignoring Muslims who do it for religious reasons presumably in both).

Unfortunate, but the IRC bridge is an absolute dumpster fire at least at these scales, and Element seems to have been unable to do much about this so far.

There are only two problems in computer science: we only have one joke, and it's gotten old.

Yes, the respective projects themselves. If you can't trust a project not to fuck over its users, why are you so concerned about the hosting of their discussion platform in particular, rather than just about everything else?

What? Discourse is free software, they aren't "hosting millions of users" at all, nevemind for free.

At that level, there is no reason to proxy it through a different IP address. If you control the network, you can just make the packets come from the original, real address.

They explicitly weren't talking about you.

There are ads in the official apps - they appear similar to regular messages in large channels (telegram's few-to-many/broadcasting offering)

That's exactly how it is handled, I don't know where they got the idea that it's done by JS.

I've never touched zig and know next to nothing about it, but that all looks reasonable to me at a glance. What exaxtly do you find so bad?

> Not a rhetorical question: have any companies done this successfully?

Telegram does this, and I think they're successful with it.

Since this is a from-scratch implementation, there's not much support from the language side to begin with. Except for some build system details that may have been made less annoying, I don't think much has changed.

USENIX '23 will take place in August.

Thanks for the explanation! The location didn't really mean anything to me.

There have already been 17 other mass shootings with 9+ injured in the US this year[1], I don't think most of them showed up on the HN front page. Is there anything particularly special about this one?

"you" is the manufacturer of the device that bricks itself if touched wrong by arbitrary (untrained) personnel.

> there's no good alternative to wheel tires

Steel wheels on steel tracks work pretty well, actually. Admittedly brake dust is still a problem for classic locomotive-pulled trains.

The last flight was 4 months ago, a washed egg probably wouldn't have survived this long.

(that function definition would be "void g(double x) { ... }" in non-obsolete C)

Many architectures have hardware support for stacks, which could be slightly faster than arbitrary load/stores. Only works in the function owning the stack frame of course, if you pass a pointer to a stack object somewhere else, it's back to being normal memory.

Leaving aside the "furry == sexual" connotations:

> It overshadows the content

Only if you make it. Relax. What someone is wearing or what innocent pictures they put alongside their presentation does not necessarily have to concern you at all. Just ignore it and focus on the actual subject matter.
