sorry you had to go through that.
"The NSA has nearly unlimited hiring potential with just the pool of military folks alone that work there."

Well - NSA _is_ military.
Well, neither of those systems exist, so discussing the differences between them is kind of pointless.

I am quite sure Django's ORM (the one I use every day) would properly protect limits and pagination.
Pudong was never a ghost city either. A more complete sample would be desirable. How about South China Mall? That was one of the prime examples, wasn't it?
Social Networks changed the world. Building one, even a small part can be rewarding. Maybe not everyone in the same position will feel the same way, but you should definitively not criticize him if he does.

Good for you, I also believe I'm changing the world, and I'm not here building rockets or anything like that.
Ditto. Why on earth would one want to develop on a tablet or phone? Even for toy interview problems they make awful dev environments. Between lack of a physical keyboard, tiny screen, slow processor, no VM support, no IDEs to speak of, and no mature command line environment they're dead in the water. A complete non-starter. You can't draw a diagram on them, typing symbols on them is a mess, and they don't support screen-sharing worth a damn, even in the stone-age sense of having two people standing side by side staring at the same thing. As hypothetical interview tools they're literally worse than a piece of paper or whiteboard. Which is probably why I've never seen them used as interview tools.

It boggles my mind that the authors of this app prioritized iOS and android support, let alone made it iOS/android exclusive. You guys had me convinced and ready to sign up. And then I find out you don't support the platform it makes most sense for you to support. Madness.
Hacker news isn't just a news site. That's one half, but the other half is the discussion we bring to the table. I assume diffix thought that the article was an interesting topic starter.
By bringing in QALYs?
It’s fine, I understood what you were up to. In earnest, though, I’d rather see thorn and eth come back than long S.
Perhaps you had much worse than a 0.24 : 1 ratio.
By "Vietnam" do you think he means "an entity that they tried to crush and demonize but is actually doing kind of ok in 2014, all things considering".
I think this was a big factor in why AIM trumped ICQ in America. ICQ had that "sending mail" icon that took a few seconds (or more) to "send" your message and it didn't quite feel instant.
You mean the off-black fonts? Blueprint CSS for one uses a dark gray for its fonts: #222222 and that gives it a warmer look.
If you ever draw a Venn diagram of Windows users and Emacs users, you'll see the intersection of both sets is vanishingly small.
Oops, that should be Somali not Sudanese.
"To name a few practices, Google can track search queries over time, target ads to its Gmail users based on the contents of e-mails, and use a person's location data to determine which shops' ads it will show."

Not only are they common knowledge (not just in the tech community but even known by people such as my mother, who's extent of computer abilities is being able to use Skype/Gmail/Google), but it's often easy to notice even with no technical knowledge at all, just by looking at what the adverts actually are. Seems odd, even if he never worked directly in that area, or cared much about privacy, that he never knew that kind of stuff.

(Or possible he's talking on levels way and above, and the writer of the article was just listing the most basic examples for readers.)
Tests express what we want the code to do, code expresses how we want to do it. It's the difference between giving someone directions to your house and checking whether they made it.
It's tricky to get around them, though (but I agree, not necessarily impossible). If you look at the parts of internet infrastructure not controlled by a Fortune 500 company, they're quite small and scattered.
Pretty cool... and terrifying.

You could do something similar already by leaving behind an iPhone (with custom software) plugged in somewhere in the office. It could probably be less conspicuous than this thing.
The problem with your claim is that the software you created is still just as available to others even if third parties use it in proprietary software. All you are doing is making it unavailable to those who would otherwise be using it third-hand in such proprietary packages that can't be made because of licensing issues. You are not maximizing others' freedom, you are restricting it.
I regret the trend towards gray rather than black maintext.
most of the time if I click there it's to copy/paste it somewhere else, and I'm pretty sure most people use it the same way.
Take a look at what they did to Australia. No tribunal needed. Just hold up perishable imports for more detailed “inspections” until they spoil.

That cleavage is de facto, not de juris.

From the Federal Reserve Act, Section 10.6 "Nothing in this Act contained shall be construed as taking away any powers heretofore vested by law in the Secretary of the Treasury which relate to the supervision, management, and control of the Treasury Department and bureaus under such department, and wherever any power vested by this Act in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal reserve agent appears to conflict with the powers of the Secretary of the Treasury, such powers shall be exercised subject to the supervision and control of the Secretary."

The constitution gives Congress the power to create money, then congress delegated this right to Treasury by passing the legal tender act in 1862. This right has been delegated to the Federal Reserve system so they now issue Federal Reserve Notes, but is subject to the supervision and control of the Secretary of the Treasury as specified in 10.6

But in practice we give the Fed leeway so as to not be seen as interfering in money creation and reserve policy because that is what financial markets demand and is what the general class of educated and influential people believe is the best approach.
Agreed. Fortunately my wife's University employer provides 14 weeks full pay, then 38 weeks 60% paid maternity leave.

I would still argue that society needs to figure a way to balance this out for both the male and female partnership(IE figure out a way for men to participate in equal fashion for that year) but that hasn't happened. As it is, we're grateful for this much compared to what many have.
This comes from mismatched expectations of what users are storing. Often they think, or assume without thinking, that they are storing a localized time. For ease of implementation, or just because the developer doesn't know any better, we often store in absolute time (UTC) with an offset and call it done.

The problem is, nobody really thinks about this stuff. It's easy to pick out an error case and say "The users expect local (relative) time, we need to deliver that." That's not always right. There are plenty of cases where the user really wants absolute time. Fro example, when scheduling an international meeting where the other side is dictating the time. When timing a broadcast from another country. Really, any time when you need to deal with events scheduled outside your local time, or have components (or people) that run on times that are not local to you.

It gets trickier. What if you are tracking that international event, and that locality changes their time rules? For example, what if I'm in the US, and I wanted to schedule a time to watch a sporting event in Chile, and I scheduled it before the changed mentioned in the article? Whether I store it as a local time or an absolute time, it's wrong.

Really, you need three pieces of information. The UTC time representation, the timezone offset it applies to, and whether it should be treated as an absolute or localized time.

Edit: Corrected what type of stored offset needs to be kept
Christ almighty, this is pathetic. Did you read the link?
I see a lot of misappropriation of terminology (in this case, "reactive") in libraries and documentation. But unfortunately this is something that has been going on for a long time and it's an impossible task to stop and, check and verify everything that is released.

However, if this is the case, then the criticism here against React shouldn't be that they're not reactive, but that they've used "reactive" wrong in their documentation.

Like other commentors, I also don't like the message in the slides and do not think that criticizing a competitor is a good form of marketing. But, I do think we should remember that it's hard to get the full context from slides and to not judge too quickly.
Maybe its some kind of joke - all 4chan users are anonymous :D
Yeah, it's spinning. I got it to load once, then tried again after I read your comment and it seems to have fallen over. There is actually data there.

The offer.

They suffered through email? The necessity.

The success/failure of your simplified (not simplistic) UI rests on, I'd say, the true value of the offer it is presenting to the user.

I'm separating learning curve from usable-"ness"
You answered my question better than you realize.
First are you sure that the cheapest 'beers' are actually 'beer'? In the US the cheapest tend to be 'malt liquor' masqerading as beer without actually claiming to be beer and only saying what they are as small type.

Secondly, regarding your final comment, are you saying that 330ml seems smaller or larger than you would expect?
And O would be way larger:

Mostly I get by well enough by switching alt to ctrl, meta to alt, and ctrl to meta, plus caps lock mapped to ctrl. This gives me mostly an approximation of the Mac keyboard. Still have to remember the shift when copying and pasting in the terminal, but that’s not a huge deal because most of my terminal use is via emacs, where I have vim mode via evil, so copy and paste is done in normal mode with y and p. For me,a little bit of frustration with the keyboard is not so bad compared to the upsides.
There is a lot of research showing lower scores for tests for BIPOC, even from kindergarten where there isn't a clear education gap already established.

There's also a lot of history of using these types of tests to discriminate - at the worst Nazi's killing children with low scores.

Yes, there's a flight qualified microsemi FPGA (a ProASIC, I think) that acts as a supervisor for the vehicle.
Exactly. Equal opportunities should exist. Equal outcomes won't likely exist, purely because of different abilities, different environments, etc.

If you want to improve the outcomes of the lower performers, you have to address the environmental factors.

You do not take away the challenges for the high performers. That solves no problems, and creates more.

Most importantly, you cannot, and should not, ever, let ideology dictate what is best for the kids. Doing so does a grave disservice to all kids.

Some kids need far more challenge. Give it to them. Some kids need extra help. Give it to them.
> The equivalent of k8s is not nomad, it's nomad+consul+vault

This was my stumbling block.

Nomad alone is clearly easier than k8s, and if it alone will suit your needs then you are in luck, but I didn't find installing and configuring 3 separate services any easier than k8s alone.
Gee, what the OP has is a LOT of advanced Windows software but, still, gives results not what I prefer!!

I don't want to change the sizes of the windows and but just move them so that I can easily make use of all of them and for that goal:

For each window, I want its UL (upper left) corner to be on a line from roughly the top center of the screen to roughly the left center of the screen. And I want all those UL corners equally spaced on that line.

So, for the goal: With this arrangement (1) can see at least a little of each of the windows, (2) usually can see the title of each of the windows, and (3) properties (1) and (2) continue to hold for any Z-order for the windows, i.e., can click on the windows in any order, thus, changing the Z-order, and still have properties (1) and (2). So, with (3) can just click on any window, bring it to the top of the Z-order, see all of that window, and still have (1) and (2). That is, can continue working with all the windows without more arranging.

I wrote a little script in Rexx to do this arranging and put an icon on the desktop to run that script. Best place for the icon? Sure, in the UL corner of the screen thus, not covered by any of the so arranged windows.

The version of the Firefox Web browser I'm using does something similar BUT with a difference: The line I mentioned goes from the top center of the screen to the center RIGHT of the screen instead of the center left. Sooo, when a window is brought to the top of the Z-order, usually all the windows with UL corner to the lower right are fully covered, i.e., usually can't see any part of any of them. So, lose property (3) and often soon also properties (1) and (2).

So, having that "line" go to the center left of the screen instead of the center right is a biggie!
> However, tech platforms exert their dominance worldwide. Americans have made this a global problem.

No. Living in Europe, cancel culture, the woke inquisition and the minority culture wars are seen as a US only phenomenon. I could not be less touched and less interested by it.
I recently discovered that I have an astigmatism in one eye, which I can only partially correct with glasses. I don't need to wear prescription lenses day to day, but one thing I noticed immediately was how much easier high contrast text is to read. Without my glasses, any significant contrast has a slightly out of focus halo, making thin lettering just a tiny bit harder to read.

I'm sure due to this condition that I can't speak for the majority of the population, but it seems to suggest this: everyone's eyes are different. Sometimes in tiny, subtle ways. In my case, a tiny bit less contrast helps tremendously with legibility, and I find dark themes easier to read because the halo is less pronounced. Other users might have a different experience. As much as possible, accommodating user preference (especially light / dark theme) will help those of us who need to tweak further tremendously.
I still crave (you)s on HN. Even though HN has no notifications or inbox. I still check my threads frequently to see if anyone has replied to me.
Maybe you are happy using throw-aways and shouting into the void, but I think that is a minority.
It would be difficult to get the mainstream vendors to match this initially, but I suspect the Linux focused vendors like Pine and System76 would do so fairly rapidly.

The way to convince the mainstream vendors would be what's attracting them to release Linux support right now. The popularity of Linux devices for people who want to work on the same machines they run their servers on.

Like I said though, I'm not sure whether this idea is workable or even makes sense.
Starship Titanic is available (and inexpensive) on GoG, for those like me who don't want to try to mess with OS compatibility.
> > they all render things differently with different bugs

> Just like HTML did in the beginning.

ePub wasn't born yesterday. It's revision 3, first released ~2006/7. XHTML was proposed to correct and prevent the kind of problems html4 had because of how it organically grew, specifically relying on its XML root (no pun intended). Epub should definitely not suffer from bugs like HTML had in the pre-XHTML and pre-HTML5 era.

I sometimes have bugs like:

- whole book is black

- some pages can't be loaded/read so I have to skip them

- some toc and back link don't work like they should (probable bad markup)

There's also some readers oddities:

- completely inconsistent line-height

- aligned setting not working at all

etc.

Anyway, there's a reason XHTML2 didn't happen and we got HTML5 instead. Either ePub has some extensions that are not trivial to implement or most readers are buggy. Or both.
Most if not all of the links point to themselves..

It's ok to think that in an ideal world it would be like that, but argumenting as if you were entitled to the source because of it doesn't seem that it will persuade others. After all, if you aren't empathetic to the reality, how would you expect others be empathetic to you?
A package manager is a whole separate program with config files that adds an extra build step and works like a black box. I mean just having the libraries entirely present in the repository. If an update is needed then someone pastes it in and commits it. This also lets you organize how you want.
Why have you found 30x500 not worth it so far?

I would get behind a pre-vote cognitive competency test. Nothing fancy, just some reading comprehension, basic syllogisms, common fallacies, common rhetorical dirty tricks, and so on. Something anyone who's actually passed the US citizenship test would solve with ease, I would imagine.
I watched that video already :). It's really cool, I didn't know it could work that well. My two months in Finland were during the late summer and more southern (relative to Oulu, still far away from the south of Finland). There is a very acceptable infrastructure for cyclists, and in the city there's simply a ton of space (so much green, big buildings, big roads, so much space still available! Amazing place) so you aren't bothering car traffic there either most of the time, but I was told by locals at the hacker space that come winter, most of that bike usage would disappear.

As for my exaggerating about the situation in Germany: perhaps, that's of course a matter of how it comes across and what your reference frame is. I wrote it how it seems to me; to you, it might seem different, and as you say, it's additionally regional. I do think that where I live is probably representative for Germany though (reasons given in a sibling comment, ctrl+f my threads page for stroopwafel).
Seriously. The amount of concern over what China, at the time regarded as a belligerent untrustworthy power, fails to explain why western governments took so long to take any mitigating measures and then some continued to actively oppose mitigating measures while still insisting this is somehow something China is going to actually fix on their end.

The tone and tenor of the investigation has always been to find a way to absolve local politicians of responsibility for their incompetence in managing this issue by blaming China.

All for the punchline of "so you're then going to do what to China in response?" Of which the answer is nothing. The genocide of the Uyigur people certainly hasn't motivated any strong international action.
Grant writing was also one of the aspects that most discouraged me from pursuing an academic career as well. I witnessed first hand the stress it induced in even the most capable professors and the level of result oriented thinking it mandated throughout the scientific process. Being a professor is a bit like being a lead contractor for NIH and NSF. If you want the resources (money) you need to chase where the fad is at. Failing that you will have to do a lot of teaching just to sustain yourself, and will cause your grad students to have a bad time throughout their career in your lab.

With all that said...the amount of academic freedom even within this flawed system is still greater than most other places I know of. Perhaps if you are a distinguished researcher working on your own terms and funded by one of the big tech companies things are better.
Another case of ML based moderation. This ML based judging with no appeal must end. I was only mildly disturbed so far, but when it started affecting me personally, it really hit home. I wrote a book on third battle of Panipat and when I tried to advertise it on Facebook, the ML banned me because it thought that I am violating their guidelines and promoting violence. Alas, it can't differentiate between a 260 year old battle and today! And there is no way to talk to a human. If this is the way we continue, then no history books can be advertised since invariably our past has been filled with violence.
Canada's defence spend last year was $22.2b

As they only met 1.31% of their 2% spend (which would be $37.5b) the shortfall is ~$15.3b annually.

Still sounds like a bargain.
Because Boeing is now ran by MBAs who want to maximize profit. A low cost F-35 means less money for Boeing in the short term.

What about the long term? Fuck the long term. It is all about quarters, and short term bonuses.
That’s the thing about the internet. If you posit P to be true then a vehement Not P believer will attack your comment with “fire and fury” and any form of attack that could work but still be false. And some of the times they’re correct of course and Not P is indeed true While P is not.
It would, but that's not what you'd want in this case.
Having seen world-class researchers up close, and having experienced their teaching first-hand over many years, I don't believe that being one is any guarantee of also being the other.
Unfortunately the top of that thread is now pretty much about another project/topic
The time from project start to first flight of the SR 71 was 47 months - with slide rules and manual drafting.
What does 2009 have to do with GME?
Right - but you can observe the differences reliably without a clock, through looking at the stack trace.
Hmmmmnnnn ...

The cloning works by using a hot air gun and a scalpel to remove the plastic key casing and expose the NXP A700X chip, which acts as a secure element that stores the cryptographic secrets. Next, an attacker connects the chip to hardware and software that takes measurements as it is being registered to work with a new account. Once the measurement-taking is finished, the attacker seals the chip in a new casing and returns it to the victim.

This all seems a little bit Mission Impossible, but, as the article says, if you are a nation state and your target is of the highest value, then ... perhaps.
This makes zero sense. Why not just use USD?

The entire point of Tether seems to be that it is always valued to be exactly 1:1 with USD. And that seems to somehow convince people that entities who cannot obtain a loan of USD can obtain a loan of Tether?
