That sounds like a GUI; how do I pipe [open, copy, rename, etc] into sed or awk? (Because the^Wa problem with GUIs is that the answer tends to be "Why would you want to do a wierd thing like that?".)
I'm surprised there isn't a process to establish actual weight of the human payload before takeoff, such as

1. Weighbridges

2. Automatically weighing passengers at the boarding gate

3. Asking passengers to write their weight at check-in

4. Scales built in to wheel struts

Whilst this might not often be a safety issue of the kind exhibited in the article, knowing the actual weight might be cost effective because it would enable airlines to more accurately tune fuel and freight components, which are significant cost and revenue centres respectively.
It almost is, actually.

The hardware in that system is from Blackrock Microsystems. You can call them up and buy it right now (if you’ve got the cash...It’s not cheap!) It’s currently intended for research, so you’ll need ethics approval and the decoder isn’t included (but that’s the fun part anyway).

Ripple Neuro sells similar gear (better, even, maybe) and Neuralynx and some smaller companies also have competing products. It’s not in every corner store, but you could have a similar setup this month if you really wanted to.
Our brain interface tech is so primitive, but it holds incredible promise if we're able to solve it.

Imagine being able to virtualize consciousness, back up memories, live forever...

The problem is how invasive it is, and how little reward there is initially. We have to solve the chicken and egg problem, but unfortunately cracking open the skull and sticking electrodes into the brain is not something one typically wants to do if they're conscious about their health.

I hope we can gain traction with medical applications and then begin to make steady advances. It'd be neat to have fully virtual, synthetic senses before we die.

I thought of mentioning the Prolog heritage. Weirdly CSS (having the worst syntax consistency of any language I can think of) is hyphen-heavy and solves its negation infix operator ambiguity well: it needs to be surrounded by whitespace.

For Prolog/Erlang, I think the preceding syntax is disambiguating enough

Over a long enough time frame the chances that you get hacked, scammed or make a fatal mistake and lose all your cryptos is high. Putting anything more than pocket money in this is idiotic.
He just asked which one. I suspect we all agree that the Capitol attack definitely counts as unrest.

But there was another recent unrest in the summer, replete with a seditious autonomous zone and attacks on a federal building.
Urbit using Ethereum as a global consistent PKI store seemed like a perfectly fine idea, until transaction costs for distributing those keys bloomed 11,000% in a year :(
Sorry - I was really thinking about the definition of "gambling" and "investing" above. So perhaps using that terminology the original investors at an IPO are willing to do so expecting liquidity based on the willingness of others to gamble on the stock.

Or something like that :-).
If you have a botnet attacking you, then it's a whole different story anyways. Those can get your services down easily regardless of what attack they use or what protocol is in play (HTTP,FTP,SMTP, you name it) so the botnet argument does not really hold here.

A proxy in front does not help if it does not limit per IP connections as an attacker can just use up all filedescriptors or connection slots. It just ups the ante a bit but not much. 10k connections can very easily be created from any DSL/cable connection let alone a server in a datacenter.

Excellent, a built in internet-backup. Perhaps this could affect companies that offer cloud-based backup solutions?
We already have IPv6 deployed on our ~10,000 node network. It was pretty simple to set up (after learning the basics of IPv6), and since the latest versions of Windows and Mac OS X default to IPv6 over v4, most of our internal traffic is v6 (most of our servers are Windows, and they reg AAAA recs in DNS).

DHCPv6 is still a bit of a mess (at least on the Cisco end), though.

I'm sure there will be many operational issues, but I get this feeling the fear is a lot like it was for Y2K.
This is more of a "review the features of the app" rather than a marketing pitch, but definitely something we have in the works.
If the dude in the bible is right then more than half of humanity goes to hell under the current system. Your point being...?
I didn't see anything new in this article, it pretty much rehashed the same arguments I've seen since forever. I feel like the low-skill, repetitive nature of the work of a pro-immigration NYT columnist makes it specially suited for cost-saving through automation or outsourcing. The field seems ripe for disruption, any takers?
I have a problem with make. It's super slow. And impossible to get right. Autotools is awful but better than hand-edited Makefiles. CMake is far far better than either of the previously mentioned options.

I just left a review a little while ago after seeing this site.

I also just signed up because I became furious reading the other reviews and realizing that I've also been duped by AirBnb and needed to vent to explain my situation.

If a host does not show or completely misrepresents the place --- goood luck, you are in for a treat with AirBnb non-service.

A place I stayed at had no kitchen (it was demolished and being renovated, this was not mentioned in the listing).

Do they still have the YouTube Kids app or whatever it is with whitelisted content?
In a space absolutely filled with hucksters and scam artists, vitalik is legit. Good read.
I feel like that’s been coming any day now since about 2014.

$170 million, at the maximum penalty only covers around 4,000 violations. I seriously doubt that Youtube violated this rule only a mere 4,000 times.
Are people really pleasured by optical illusions, or are they interested by them? I think that most people understand that their brains are struggling to comprehend them, and that is why they are interesting.

Regardless, I don't think there's much evidence (if any) for the idea that the enjoyment of music is the result of a defect in our auditory system.
Google was fined $170 million and required to do better.

I don’t think there’s any reason to think this. There’s absolutely people that enjoy their jobs because it’s just a good place to work.
Isnt' that GS entry in the consumer side of banking though? Apple and GS are very much new player in the credit card world, so any kind of disruption would be interesting.

The reason it does not happen is probably that Apple is not in the business of creating a new market for GS. And on the other hand GS does not have the culture to lead such a disruption.

My bet is that both are using each other as stepping stone. GS will likely enter the consumer banking at some point thanks to what amount to Apple R&D investment. Apple on the other hand will use the experience and roll their own limited set of service in their own time too. Apple probably aim at competing with the like of Paypal and Square.
Keep the current system, as it seems to be working well. There are other ways to stop domain squatters, like not letting them abuse the registrar status to hold domains without paying for them.
Given that I know close to nothing about musical theory (or playing music), this talk surprised me. It seems that our minds are simply wired to pick up patterns and to try to make order out of randomness. I was reminded of 'Musicophilia' by Oliver Sacks, that I think is worth checking out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicophilia

Same. I'd love, for example, to try out Raku/Perl 6, but I'm no longer interested in fiddling with VSCode or Vim configurations for hours just to get a mediocre debugger running. (This is not a complaint, I definitely do not feel I deserve anything for free.)

Not necessarily. The "lower framerate" in our fovea is not represented as a stuttering sequence of frames, but a blurry and smooth flow. Simply using a lower framerate would still be noticeable.

Unless you could engineer a display technology that could do this.

I read on the news this morning that the administration is proposing to cut homecare by 40%. I did a double-take when I read that. Unless the article I read got it wrong, a lot of people are going to be hurt.

If it's enough for a person skilled in the art to produce the invention without needing any inventive thought, then yes, it is.

Enough said

Also why would Snowden continue to use (and support it) it if it was the case?
Oh thank you, that is good to know. Sadly before ordering a server from the sb, I cannot see the exact HDD models. It just says if it is or isn't the enterprise version and that is it, e.g. like:

"2x HDD SATA 2,0 TB Enterprise"

Which is too bad.
Instead of creating yet another special case for government officials, the solution for the US problem is to go and take some ideas from Europe. In Germany, all costs associated with a lawsuit have to be paid/reimbursed by the losing party. This quickly solves the "I know I won't win, but lets ruin the other guy" problem.
Not at all. I'm not commenting on the fetish. I'm commenting on the lack of consent.
That is a risk with everything, it is turtles all the way down. There are not 'better solutions' available for the general public out there and anyone who claims otherwise is selling snake oil. What Signal (and similar efforts like Riot/Matrix/etc) offer is the ability to drastically raise the cost of targeting an individual and eliminate almost all risks from bulk dragnet operations. If you, specifically you, are they target of a major government then they are going to get you and there is nothing you can do about it other that to stop using electronic communication, but if you are not already a target then Signal provides a level of security and privacy that had previously been unavailable or difficult to use.
It was well regarded at some point, but the current membership numbers (4% of what it was at peak) is showing that the post-1990 evolution was not great. Providing support for closing stores on Sunday is not the purpose of a worker union.

"Do you have a reading comprehension disability" is plainly an attack.

"Pointing out the truth" can certainly be an attack or flamebait. It depends on which truth and how it's used. One middle schooler "pointing out" the acne on another's face can be quite an attack. The hardest substance (truth) makes the sharpest weapon. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23381247 on the "it's a fact" defense, the most beloved of trolls.

For example, let's assume that your comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23396054 was factual and that George Floyd was intoxicated when he was killed. Bringing that up in this context, as if it somehow mitigates anything about his killing, is certainly flamebait, true or not.

Re "I see - only the hive mind is allowed" - that's also a common response. Everyone always feels like the mods are against them, secretly siding with the opposition: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

That isn't really an anomaly. That is how you get good at anything. Nobody gets it right the first time and those that only do something once are just dabblers.
I believe it's only the US & EU embargoing North Korea.

China has the strongest relations with North Korea -- and would be enough of a source for anything.

And since North Korea seems to have figured out nuclear weapons, early-90s-style walled-garden dial-up-networking, like Prodigy/Compuserve/AOL, shouldn't be too hard.
>omething about how we should get more science funding by convincing everybody that an immensely fuckable race of space babes lives at Alpha Centauri

And that is not genius.. why?
That doesn't really tell us anything about variance. After all, in that single trial of generating 347 numbers, his computer could just as easily have spat out a uniform distribution.*

To see variance, it would have been better to generate 347 numbers many times over, then plot the standard deviation of the count of each number using error bars.

*You can't actually evenly distribute 347 trials over the range [1,20], but you see my point.
I don't understand the benefit of dynamically allocating instances. Why should you be running fewer instance than your server can support?
Some server software only runs on Windows.
This brings back memories. Read that article in 7th grade when I had just started using internet. It's still one of my favorite.
Ruby 1.8 uses green threads, so running multiple processes lets you use all your cores.

As mentioned in another post, Rails used to not be thread safe. Right now I'm running a Rails site in production with multithreading enabled, but I'm sure many libraries in Ruby are not thread safe.
Yes. Same idea as when you stick your hand into a 400F oven to pull the pizza out. Doesn't hurt because air is a poor heat conductor. But if you touch the 400F metal pan, it will hurt.

We are working on a "no code" editor - sketch to react

Our goal is improve 10x productivity for frontend engineer to write web and app UI code by using the editor.
Our first version is target on the most popular design tools "sketch" and most popular FE framework "React"

The idea is developer just import the sketch and can generate the UI code with some editor adjustment

We have come out the demo video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzm0PF30Wwk
and subscribe more info in the future via https://pxcode.io/studio

We would like to hear any feedback
Thank you !
Thank you!

The majority of the code runs in the main thread; filters use a web worker. OffscreenCanvas currently has less than 70% support (caniuse says), so most of the work is done in regular canvas elements which are created but not added to the DOM, then copied over to the DOM canvas once per RequestAnimationFrame tick
Harder to do when you're getting less than 4 hours of sleep a night and being kept awake with amphetamines and caffeine, I'd imagine.
384 threads at which SMT level again?

What's the clock speed, and what's the IPC compared to say a 64 core 128 thread Threadripper? You'll find it won't compare favourably for 99.9% of workloads.

It looks to me like Nano will suffer from the free-rider problem.

If Nano becomes an established currency, then a grocery chain can just rely on the existing Nano nodes to process its transactions (which will still be free), they don't need to run their own node for it.
Well of course an online poker game should be using a CSPRNG.

The parent comment said "Most simulations, games ...". Most. Not all. I think it's pretty obvious that Poker would not be included a statement of "Most".

The real litmus test is the question of "What happens if a malicious actor is able to predict the random numbers?"
Smooth because of the faster drawing you mean? termite at least scrolls by pixels (not lines) and seems smooth enough to me. But maybe for something like fast compiling output? I did try alacritty some time ago, but didn't really notice a difference. Is there particular things you can see the difference in?
See some of the sibling comments, fuchsia is BSD-licensed and has a new design not based on any Unix.
“Complex abstraction” is a contradiction in terms since an abstraction is a relation A -> B where B needs to be simpler than A.
That's great and all, but then they're blatantly violating the clearly written rules of GDPR.

I'm an American citizen, so I have no real recourse with that, but their European citizens can bring the case to a regulator and they could very well be fined.

That interpretation goes against the spirit, and the very plain letter of the GDPR regulations.

He's not talking about corporate messengers, that's for sure.

He's talking about the most used apps in the world, the ones you use to keep in touch with friends and family. Most of their apps are either websites on top of a bundled browser.
Most people don't like sitting in front of a TV and being lectured and/or read to. They need something to satiate their need for acceptance. Comedy is far safer than the popular alternatives: FUD, hate, and conspiracy. A great personality is another good one, but those are rare.
PC magazine was instrumental to my career in tech. I loved when a new one arrived and would read every page. It taught me so much about IT at the age of 12 that I never would have learned if I just played with computers. I even got something printed in Abort, Retry, Fail once and wore the t-shirt I got in return with pride for many years. This post does a good job of capturing the optimism that was embedded in a every issue (except Dvorak's columns). I miss that feeling.
I was nodding along until I realized that the author has a very different notion of esoteric from mine.

The last month of Fridays I've been tinkering with Idris, trying to get it to... well, do anything useful. I'd heard it was a dependently typed JVM language, which it is... kinda. Turns out you need to install a full Haskell toolchain to do anything with it. With the right esoteric option incantation, you can make it build an executable that turns out to be a shell script concatenated with a jar file. Nice. But you can't build a library with it, even within the library. You can't invoke it to build some classes to use later. You can't even call the build tool from anything remotely standard in JVM-land, and when I asked about making the compiler selfhosting the response was a kind of lukewarm "yeah, sometime". The current toolchain is in Haskell but there's not even an FFI from Idris into Haskell, so porting it would be... challenging. I tried to join the two together via their C FFI, but in between undocumented linker options and the fact that the Idris runtime is already linked to part of the Haskell runtime, I eventually gave up. If nothing else, it gave me a real appreciation for how much work went into making Scala a serious, commercially usable language, something I'd previously rather taken for granted.

But C, holy shit, C? You'd write a program in C? And expect it to work? I've seen programs go wrong in a lot of languages, but most of them can be eventually fixed. In C you get irreproducible voodoo random crashing that, sure, you can usually track down with a static analyzer, valgrind, debugging, intelligence and luck. But what if you couldn't? What if the program was just broken, and you couldn't fix it? With $100,000,000 on the line, there is no way on earth I would risk letting C (or any other unmanaged language) anywhere near my codebase. It might mean more work, and less features, if I were to use e.g. that pure-OCaml SSL library, or a JVM-native multimedia library. But I'd do it in a heartbeat, all the same. "The final say on overall data sizes" is such a tiny, trivial concern compared to using a language where failure is understandable, reliably diagnosable.

(In fact I'd say the scenarios where a measly factor of 2x memory consumption makes the difference between "working" and "not working" are just vanishingly narrow. If you need to scale horizontally in OCaml, you're going to need to scale horizontally in C a couple of weeks later. Particularly with $100,000,000 on the line, sod it, buy a bigger server with more RAM if using 32GB rather than 64GB really makes the all-important difference).

Would I use a "pet language" I tinker with, like Idris? No, but I wouldn't use that for any kind of serious commercial work. With $100,000,000 on the line, I'd use the same language I use for almost all my work: Scala. And I would stay the hell away from JNI, because I don't want C anywhere near this system, lest it bring it all crashing down.
