Did that there may be a effective bond among animals and human beings?
one of the more stunning and unifying factors of humanity is witnessing the super lengths a few animal lovers will go to for his or her animal partners.
Non animal lovers won't get it in any respect... yet.
So right here's the aspect: They enjoy a mutual, deep bond and connection that is tough to provide an explanation for or define, however it would not make it any much less real or tangible.
Many humans have learned the advantages of getting pets. And a puppy of any type, whether or not it's a cat, dog, horse, lizard, or chicken who feels cherished and comfortable, will bring superb joy to their human.
Also, the plot arc around Earth gov was good at demonstrating that cancellations is how fascism starts, not how you fight it.
Exactly. And there are ways to make the system have far less convexity, for example by dampening the diversity of the gene pool. This is exactly the case with bananas, all of the world's supply is one virus or bacteria away from being completely wrecked.
Poor analogy; if the lifts break, just use the stairs.

Note that I've written "relying", as in "depending on the cloud without any alternative backup". Depending on the cloud means depending on something you cannot influence.
Implementing two factor auth on linux is actually fairly easy. We use a 15-odd line pam_script script that for ssh logins:

- checks to see if there is a authentication code in a hidden file in your homedir

- if not it validates the password you gave

- if that succeeds generate a 6 digit random number and stores a hash of the number in a hidden file in your homedir and sends it as an SMS to your mobile phone (phone number comes from ldap)

- rejects your login

- you login again, now using the pincode send to your mobile as a password

- the hidden file now exists and the pincode you entered is hashed and compared to the hash stored in the file before

- if they match, your allowed to login.

Simple to implement, fairly strong security wise, logical extension to password-only authentication, no additional account management overhead over standard ldap, reasonable user friendly and very cheap.

We use it also in combination with nomachines nx for remote desktop access.

I'm afraid I'm a bit disappointed. A function* whose plot looks like "hello world" would've been more interesting.

* Or rather an implicit equation of some sort.
Like this one alot. As someone who has booked venues before and had to run around searching, this would have saved me tons of time. Combine this with SpeakerGram (for booking speakers) and EventBrite for ticketing and I can plan a conference in a snap :-)
We're fine on EC2 -- but everything on RDS seems to be giving us big problems. We started a few backups before we new it was systemic, and all of them are stuck at 0%. We also tried spinning up new instances -- and they're all stuck in booting.

I like the simplicity of things you made. It's all straight forward.
Only missing things:
On 3rd step of proposal there is no way to use products/services/subscriptions which are saved in catalog making catalog useless.
It will be also useful to add a option to "save to catalog".
On same page in dropdown for taxes add option to add tax (going on tax page before creating a proposal is not intuitive for new user).

Good job!
It could be worse/better, you could have an Australian 5-day weekend.
pretty much "it can be implemented algorithmically no matter what". There is just no evidence that the physical brain takes advantage of subtle quantum effects to do what it can do; it's extremely unlikely that any machine could do so at normal body temperature.

Intuitively, I don't see any vital need to introduce special types of computation to explain consciousness. It seems very likely to be a phenomenon that emerges from the right kind of information processing, regardless of the physical nature of the computation.
Why Ruby AND Python? I understand why either one would be a good first language, but both? Wouldn't that just confuse someone who is genuinely just starting out?

Totally agree.

Personally, I don't even mind shameless self promotion. Got a new cool job? Good for you. Are you giving talks at conferences? Amazing. You raised money, you screenshot positive reviews of your app, you post your open source package or article, that's all great, I might even share it or like it if I know you and want you to reach a part of my audience.

What I can't stand is the "growth hacking". Claiming quotes as your own to look wise and insightful. Badly describing a step in Elon's career to sound like someone who never gives up. Bad Work memes by people who can't meme! "software devs vs designer" or "how DHL, UPS, Amazon delivers packages" tiktoks. Obviously dysfunctional bogus prototype from "now this" from the nineties disguised as something novel. Talking about how working for $tech company is special / not special at all. Posing in suit at home describing how difficult it is to work from home... For some reason, these posts annoy me, especially if they are obviously a copy of a post that went viral last week

Just writing this list made me frustrated.
He did not say that phones were upgradable; he mentioned 'computing devices'. Calling another comment dumb does not help your argument.

Seeded random is a glorious thing in the right circumstances. As an example, I've used it for 'random' testing sequences (jumbling up a list of inputs) but in a way I can later re-run EXACTLY the same test.

It's also useful for other data generation tasks where the output can basically be saved as a seed, making it lightweight and easy to store - it could be written it on a scrap of paper in seconds.

Maybe it's a bad name though - it should be called seededRandom() or semiRandom() or deterministicRandom(). Or perhaps it should be true random is no seed is set. Hard to know. Maybe the true random only needs to be the seed to a deterministic random and reset on a frequent basis in some cases.

Then there's the category of casual random that doesn't matter, like random colours just for the sake of it. It doesn't need to be a secure safe random.

And... assuming that any random function is truly random is a mistake anyway. Basing on hardware, and it may fail. Base it on software and where's the source of entropy. Add to that the possibility of bugs/defects in the implementation, and it's possible that it might not be as random as it needs to be. It's better to assume ALL RNGs are PRNGs, with the caveat that some are decidedly better than others.

So no I wouldn't support a ban on it, nor would I support removing it from any language/runtime where it might be useful.
...and then they all clapped?
Well, as always, lawyers take the juicy bits, leaving the actual victim with peanuts.

Justice, is increasingly costly.
Yup...just asking people to contribute to something they don't think they are qualified to deal with, increases their confidence, enthusiasm, interest etc.

As anything with human psychology, good to think about and be mentally prepared for where it will work and where it wont. For example it can be counter productive if the people receiving advice reject, attack, misunderstand it or if advice is given to people who aren't looking for advice.
Some people "just want to watch the world burn" and will mess up anything you try to give them, and those people need law enforcement to stop them, because they won't stop themselves. It's unrealistic to think you can solve the problem with only the carrot.
Nginx seems like one more layer of trouble. Why not just use Go?

Nice work, but it seems there are no examples of the output images?
This is not the best advice I've ever read, some of it smacks of "silver bullet" thinking. For example, it's sometimes better to duplicate than couple. Within the same component sure don't copy pasta. Also I think TDD is frankly ridiculous; I've seen many teams spending more money on gold-plating test lines of code than actual code. I've seen other, better teams spend all their efforts on full integration testing only. There are no golden rules, it's just hard work.
That doesn't exactly support the claim. I don't understand your point here? Do you even remember the point being made?
This wasn't just Trump's account. Many major conservative accounts are getting nuked. This was an incredibly poor decision and will lead to absolute chaos. Stay safe folks.
Ben Thompson has a nuanced piece on this:

I don't see any mention of reeducation in that comment, I see a suggestion to seek understanding of what's going on. A rather old-fashioned idea I must admit, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
IMHO there are things that are much more scary than some trespassing into government buildings or a riot. The possibility that we might slide backwards from traditionally liberal ideas spawned from the enlightenment is utterly terrifying. And we are rapidly heading in that direction.
Auto-closing is not an issue and could be implemented in community-friendly fashion. Just make a bot post "this ticket is dated, leave a comment if it's still important and revelant" then wait a few days and close only ones that don't get much attention. Simple and user-friendly.
HIV infections per encounter will go down if you have a lot of sex, this is true.

And it will to zero forever once you get infected.

But its the likelihood of infection overall that I am concerned with. The more sex you have, the likelier it is that you will have an infective encounter earlier.

the fact remains that if people never have sex, they will never get infected. If they only have sex with one person in their life, and that person follows the same rule, no one will be infected either.

But that's not reality. so we should follow some simple rules, which can be found at http://evensafersex.com
great comment but +1 for sharing the bit about Final Fantasy that I had never heard before.
I don't wish to rain too heavily on the potential smug parade that other HN users might be participating in after reading such praise for their collective submission pool, but I thought it might be worth pointing out that this particular topic was posted on 4chan yesterday, subsequently causing quite a stir.

This also accounts for the continued vandalism on the wiki entry, as mentioned in some of the comments beneath mine.
The Wilco album 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' has one such recording on the title track -- a woman repeating 'yankee, hotel, foxtrot..'

Great!
> So, if I understand you correctly, Apple should decide what constitutes good parenting?

It looks like they do actually, forbidding +17 year old to access the web.

> It just seems so completely absurd and ridiculous to claim that bad design must imply that Apple doesn’t want teenagers to surf the web.

How is that bad design? It clearly states that you must be more than 17 year old to access the web.
Maybe now is the time for systems that audit and protect phones possibly?
It's dumb because a web browser should not be considered as something allowed only to people of +17 year old.
Would banks not be willing to buy those certificates from them for at least face value?
I reckon it could be reclaimed to turn it into a pro-drug statement. Sort of like how that "Reefer Madness" movie is now a stoner classic.
The employer has to weigh two options:

- people will be less encouraged to leave with the current standard of expiring options.

- people who have checked out mentally will not be forced to stay with the company for financial reasons.

> The Med is large enough that you won't reduce its level a significant amount, so nobody will build houses on the new beachfronts

The description of Atlantropa in the linked article clearly notes besides hydroelectric power generation, the dam was meant to lower the sea level by more than 600 feet in order to create more land in the basin. A dam collapse would have been catastrophic.
This doesn't seem to show people being let into a restricted area though.
Good news, we did.
What was some of the advice, if you happen to remember?
> That said, it would mean the lowest amount of economic stress (which kills silently) for the following years

What makes you think so? Did you look at the life-expectancy impact of severe economic downturns and compare them to likely excess fatality figures due to your proposed policy? I suspect not, because last I looked for it I didn't seem to find much evidence for silently killing economic stress.

> This will not stop the ICU beds from filling up obviously,

That's a bit of a problem, because those ICU beds are also known to be useful for people suffering from urgent non-covid related problems. Even if you managed to turn away all the non-lockdowners (how would you even check? Police patrols tattooing people spotted on the street during voluntary lockdown?), you might still find that just the "legitimate" cases are enough to really mess up urgent health care for a lot of other people.
It's an act of free association, also protected by the first amendment.
Thanks! You're right. It is webrtc and react.js.
Too little, too late. In their quest for engagement these platforms have reformed our society, community, and democracy. It's time for regulation.
I admire your optimism, but I am of the opinion that the Senate will never loosen its grip until the day that it is destroyed.
when radicals are storming the houses of government and elected representatives are being evacuated to a secret location, it might be a little late to worry about whether your actions will "radicalize" people. maybe it's time we started worrying more about dealing with the people who are already radicalized.

doing nothing for fear of radicalizing people is what got us here. it's not working.
In my mind, the next big step will be the machine perception, specifically full scene understanding in vision.

Computer vision has advanced very rapidly recently in sub-tasks like object recognition, scene segmentation, 3d-modeling from videos, and others.

Now people are trying to put these elements together, along with text-based metadata and logic for physical interpretation of images (e.g. the coffee cup is on the table which is on the ground and abuts the wall; physical interpretations of spatial information).

Soon enough we'll be to the point where a drone can identify and track most objects in its line of sight and know their physical relationships to each other. This opens up tremendous possibilities in robotics.
I disagree completely because I've seen it in practice.

A button turns out to be below the fold on common small screen sizes that a new designer forgot to consider. A bad translation results in 90% of users in a particular country misunderstanding something. A JavaScript library doesn't work on a common Android phone you don't test with. Latency issues make something virtually unusable from the other side of the country because of a single badly written function that's easy to rewrite -- but you still have to catch it!

You need ALL forms of feedback. It's not a question of some being more important than others. They're all important and play their own unique roles. Analytics is for catching AND debugging all the things that go wrong at scale in the real world, as opposed to the artificial and limited environments used for user testing.
Wat?

Mansplaining is a particular activity, an obnoxious one. The "man" part of the term is in reference to men being far more likely to engage in it.

"Mansplaining" is not equivalent to "[a] man explaining". There's another term for that: "explaining".
The point of money laundering is to conceal the source of funds. The way you conceal the source of funds is by creating fake receipts. Without receipts, a bunch of Thaler showing up for no reason is no different than a bunch of dollars showing up for no reason. You may be suspected of being a criminal.
Perhaps you're right, maybe this illustrates my own cognitive bias.

Of course that Day 1 post doesn't reflect the HN discussion since then, and current comments don't either.

But more small-sample-size anecdata would be to look at recent comments:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Of the 20 most recent comments, I'd say 12 are negative, 4 are positive and 4 are neutral. (Your comment showed up in my search and I counted it as neutral.)
> Our Embedded Controller firmware is based on chromium ec

Sorry, I'm having trouble parsing this statement. Your 'embedded controller' (whatever that may be) firmware is based on a web browser?
It’s hard to know if you’re being serious.
"we designed the largest open floor plan in the world — a single room that fits thousands of people.

Sounds very unappealing to me.
I'm not complaining about the politics, just the seeming lack of awareness of the comedic roots. If you have read the original coinage in context, it turns much of the modern discussion made in earnest seriousness, to be just a farcical continuation of the original satire, in quite a similar way to how a lot of Chris Morris' work has crept into real-life news and politics.

Disagree with your assumption: the universe is full of everyday phenomenon that have confounded or ability to explain. Like say, gravity.
And open Terminal.app and you have a full UNIX subsystem.

Also, if you're used to having package manager MacPorts[1] is probably what you want. If you're familiar with the BSD ports system, it's very similar.

I'm also getting a macbook Pro soon (coming from Windows/Ubuntu background). Looking forward to trying TextMate and comparing that with Eclipse (or maybe it will replace Notepad++ as a quick all purpose edit tool). Most of all looking forward to Garage Band!

Note: Also switching from an Android phone to the iPhone 4. Anyway heads up/ awesome app suggestions?
Newbie question: How is CoffeeScript typically used? On a web server running node.js? In the browser after including CoffeeScript the way you might include jQuery? Either? Some other way?
I have taken a look at the source, but wasn't sure if they were using all of it in production. If they are then quite impressive.
I guess I'm not a true Scotsman.

I'll give an example . Imagine that you're writing an append method for a list that's implemented as insert(x, size). TDD requires that you test the interface, not the implementation, so you'd end up with lots of test cases. How would the test code compare with the implementation?
Find purpose even in the most "menial" of task or actions, and best to lower expectations. Same struggle has perplexed man since self consciousness. "Man's Search for Meaning".
If there were a solid business around recurring revenue for applications hosted locally, there would be more motivation for improving local operating systems. As it stands there's not much motivation to improve the local OS experience because there isn't demand either from the dev side or the user side.
I don't understand why Russia is doing obviously hostile acts (elections, hacking government agencies, invasion of Ukraine & others, covert operations and so on...) against the US, and not much is done.

Meanwhile, I can't remember a covert operation done by China or a visible invasion of a third-party country (except putting concrete on a few inhabited islands) and then everything is done to portray them as the bad guys and ban entire industries

I can't help thinking of either racism, or politicians being controlled by Russian intelligence (possibly them not being unaware of this)
Chrome and others are cracking down on the security issues. For one, whenever an extension’s permissions change in Chrome, the extension is (silently) disabled. Also, in manifest v3 externally downloaded JavaScript is not allowed at all.
I developed a new incremental learning approach (called IRMA) during my PhD in 2014 and haven't touched that research for a few years. But it has always been on the back of my mind as an approach worth following up on.

Now I decided to make it a bit more approachable through an interactive tool that lets you play with a polynomial that learns from incremental examples you provide. I also included some background on how the method works.

Incremental learning (in contrast to batch learning) poses a unique set of problems as the learning algorithm needs to adapt with just a single new example. Compared to the state of the art, IRMA does this through minimizing what it "forgets" about past learned data while adapting to the new example. I chose polynomials as an example as it doesn't work well with the typically used gradient descent but can be learned with IRMA in a much more stable manner.

The same approach has a closed form solution for a variety of other models (that are linear in the parameters, i.e. LIP) and I'd be interested to try and apply it to more models (like neural networks) or other tasks (like classification) as well.

I'm excited about any questions or feedback!
It is shocking that this is news! This should be normal and expected behavior and not news!
