You want to get the dog really comfortable with sit, stay and a "warm clicker" (Basically just get them used to the click noise = treat). Once they're good on those, have the dog sit as you hold the treat above them in a way that makes it so their nose is pointing straight up and they start to stretch their body to try and reach for the treat. Keep doing this until their paws start coming off the ground as they sit back on their hind legs. Click and treat repeatedly so they know this is what you want them to do.

Do this repetitiously until they start getting used to putting their paws up then start working on getting them to sit like that for a few seconds. As a reminder lots of clicks and treats to let them know they are doing what you want. At this point you can start introducing the voice commands.

After they have stay down, you can move into "bang" by once again holding a treat in a way that they fall to the ground, then immediately click and treat again repeatedly. Then you start working on getting them to roll over in the same motion. It's ok to sort of push them with your hands a bit to show them the physical motion you are looking for as long as you click and treat in little increments to show them that what they're doing is "good."

Probably too long winded, but if you look up "bang" dog tricks on YouTube there are a lot of handy guides. My final advice is to pay attention to how much fun you think your dog is having. Some love mental stimulation, others not as much. If the dog is losing interest, then it's probably time to call it quits for the day, as they'll stop thinking the training is fun.

Really, it's quite humorous how close human psychology is to that of my dog.
the extra time taken to draw a 9 vs a 7 was worth it

Is it??? Adding one more exponent is huge, while 7->9 feels much smaller. It's all intuition, though. Does anyone know how to tackle such a question?

Limited empirical results say:

CL-USER> (log (expt 9 9))
19.77502
CL-USER> (log (expt 7 (expt 7 7)))
1602540.6

Taking the log of an expt is silly, but it makes it printable.
I was rejected by TechStars NYC with the same idea. My partner and I were really excited by the idea, but like you, ran into a wall of both legal and social boundaries.
I approve of this level of paranoia: It's never failed, not even once but just in case...
I don't see how that solves anything. If the guard knows the answer, then you assume the enemy knows the answer. So all "throwing it away" does, is allow the enemy to cross the border once and the spy stranded!
"While this sounds easy in theory, it is rather difficult to pull off on most stacks."

Why is it difficult on most stacks? Because it's tying up a request handling thread?
this is why i read hacker news! thank you.
Seems like it might be better to split one dose in half and give one now and the second half in a month as a booster.
Be glad there was no cache infrastructure. Ripping out an ill-conceived caching layer is usually a nasty and unpopular step early in an architecture rescue.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like what you should do is make it as easy as possible to pivot early in your research process... Lowering the temperature and increasing the activation energy over time as you find the black swan. Concretely:

* Socialize that you plan to frequently reevaluate and that don't get too attached to an idea

* Don't spend time automating while you're just testing ideas out

* When you do automate, make sure it's there so the cost of switching to a new idea is as close to 0 as possible.
Crypto is breaking the financial establishment and ruining Wall Street's never ending party. DeFi is bringing the same synthetic assets that Wall Street creates out of thin air to everyone. If you're not bullish on crypto, you haven't studied it closely enough.
Agreed, and current estimates are more on the order of 4 to 5 per million. A high proportion of these cases are among people with a history of anaphylactic reactions to drugs, needle sticks or food/tree nuts ( many were already carrying their own epi pens! ) so it includes people who probably would skip an annual flu vaccine but of course do not want to skip this one. I'm not trying to suggest that the rate isn't higher than other vaccines, but it may not be as much higher as it first appeared. ( Also, to be fair, now that there is so much vigilance, it's possible that a number of pre-anaphylaxis are being caught early and treated with epi or benadryl before they could become full-blown anaphylaxis. So, this could make the rate appear lower. These things always need to be considered thoughtfully! )

As others have pointed out, the risk/benefit calculation here is extreme: a few bad reactions per million vs. a disease that has already killed more than 1000 people per million population in the US.

The irony of calling content blockers, which provide prebuilt block lists to the browser, to compile into an efficient format, “bloated” while suggesting that JavaScript extensions running before every single resource request to check if it should be blocked are not, is beyond ridiculous.
Net necessarily. Being against something regardless of evidence is an anti-progress position, but asking for safety protocols to be established or longitudinal studies to be carried out is quite reasonable.

In this case the scientists and companies knew about the risks and had stringent safety protocols for some people but not for others. If it ain't safe for the CEO, it ain't safe for the janitor.
You can compare language features this way, but it won't tell you which language is a better fit for a particular problem. JSON is strictly less powerful than JavaScript and it's easy to come up with examples of data that can be better compressed in JavaScript. But for what we use JSON for, not being Turing complete is a feature.

When programming in an intentionally restricted language, the question is whether the limitation in power is put to good use in some other way.
They should put that statement prominently in the YC application materials.

This is the whole reason why Juypter is being made. Everything in Juypter will be kernel agnostic. The only part of Juypter that will be first class Python is the IPython kernel.
Can't understand why bother with contributions graph? It's like evaluate a programmer by LOC. We all know that lines of code ofter represent bad design, or that nor all lines have same complexity...
Dart VM is an essential part of the Dart ecosystem.

Dart tools: pub's (package manager) client, analyzer, dart2js compiler, etc are all written in Dart.

We have a good story for server side developement and we are not looking to abandon it but rather we are looking to expand it, e.g. we just released a package to facilitate creation of REST APIs[1]. Pub's server side is being rewritten into Dart as we speak[2]

Among cool internal users of Dart VM I could mention Google Fiber - they'll share their experience during the upcoming Dart Summit[3].

I'm not sure you can argue that Dart is where these features are coming from. SIMD and known type shapes are both very old features that people have been demanding for years. If you follow es-discuss the language you see referenced the most (other than academic ones like E) is C#, by far. The Typed Objects proposal dates back to 2013, possibly earlier, and it's a feature people have wanted for longer than that (ES4 arguably addressed it.) Dart certainly helped influence the SIMD proposal, however, and that's great - it seems like that might have languished for years otherwise.

Regardless, Dart is a great proof-of-concept for strong typing in a browser environment and I'm sure it helped renew faith in it after the disastrous results of the ES4 effort.

I would be interested in seeing Dart's approach to typing attempted as a layer on top of JS. Sort of a 'stronger' TypeScript where the compile pass enforces the kinds of type guarantees Dart provides, perhaps.
One word - Electrolytes.
My blog is in support of my projects. I really want to put my content on domain.com/blog. Does WP lend itself to that? I don’t want to self-host it because everything else I’m working on is serverless so setting up a server just for the blog seems foolish.
So what? You don't need to have detonation in order to have an explosion. However once this thing breaches the surface it does detonate.
I can hardly imagine a concept that would benefit from an explanation in tweet form.
It took years but all of my old Usenet posts eventually were removed. The people running archives tended to be real jerks about it - I’m pretty sure a couple of them got off on telling me no with long hand typed explanations, but in the end most of them were running archives on their employer’s equipment and when they switched jobs, got let go, or retired they couldn’t take it with them and nobody else wanted to maintain them so eventually the last copy I could find fell.
I broadly agree with both of you on the nature of coverage in mainstream Western [1] generalist publications about topics on India and China (but also Southeast Asia and Africa, to a point). In my observation, a lot of the coverage on those parts of the world is hollow and lacks sophisticated contextualization along a variety of local and global concerns. If local concerns are noted, it's either an echo of popular Western concern, or some jarring evocation of culture shock and poverty porn.

Notable exceptions include the BBC, who take better care to explain local concerns in greater depth, although they do so in a characteristically terse style that doesn't play well among the New York Times or The Atlantic crowd.

[1] Western here is a byword for US, UK, CA, AU, NZ in the Anglosphere, but also some of the similarly leaning publications in Europe publishing in English.
> must be open and transparent. The alternative is being corrupt.

I think you oversimplified to get to this binary view. Where does "national security" fit in this "transparent or corrupt" philosophy? State secrets? Classified information and intelligence?

Can the Chinese (or other) authorities simply raise deep concerns about whatever they want and expect US (or other) authorities to provide information as needed to prove the contrary?
I think they know how deeply engrained their position is but I hope they underestimate how much deeper the connections people have to truly inspriring sources like SSC are.

I would say I had mixed feelings about the nyt before the SSC incident. Now it is irrevocably tarnished in my mind.
To celebrate the major new 2.0 release of FireStream, our popular UPnP/DLNA media streaming app for macOS, we're giving away some free promo codes here.

This new update adds full support for all of Apple's new media apps: Music, Books, Photos, TV, Podcasts (and you can of course stream any folder, too). 2.0 greatly improves indexing and overall performance, especially on Apple Silicon. The UI has received a nice update too, with new icons, separate navigation for the media app sources and ability to disable individual media sources. Many other improvements too.

We've also amplified Hi-Fi audio streaming for you audiophiles out there (we love Hi-Fi too!). Lossless format and lossless transcoding support has been improved, adding new transcoded audio seeking capability. Organization has been greatly enhanced too, so that Hi-Fi streamers have a clean navigation system without unrelated content like videos or photos and without sources that have no audio content available. Have a Hi-Fi streamer you'd like to see added to FireStream? Please comment below.

Here are the promo codes:

> It was bad form for the SNB to say they were committed to the peg and then to scrap it a few days later.

I may be wrong, but I think the decision to get rid of the cap was ultimately the result of an ECJ's judge statement made the previous day: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11344253/ECJ-ru... , so not much that SNB could do about it.
I imagine that kernel lockdown is the main reason why hibernate doesn't work out of the box for most people ATM.
I have the same reading habits as you (pretty much exclusively from a screen), but your post (and another talking about reading as many books as possible) reminded me of a conversation I had with my english teacher in ninth grade.

I forget exactly how we got to the topic, but someone in the class asked him what music he liked to listen to on his way to school. he looked taken aback, almost shocked by the question. he said something like, "oh I could never listen to music in the car; I wouldn't be able to pay attention to the road! I can only listen to music sitting in a chair by myself at home." he was a young guy btw, playing cds/cassettes/radio in a car had been normal for his entire life. I thought that was kind of absurd at the time, but I think about it every once in a while. what was so different about his experience of music that he literally couldn't do anything else while listening? does my listening to music while I work, while I drive, or while I walk around the city make it impossible for me to experience it the way he does?
As I say, this is a foundational issue that every blockchain project should address. Before I asked my initial question, I searched the documentation to see if it had been addressed. Such answers might be a second layer story, or some form of transaction aggregation on the base layer blockchain. I could not find anything that obviously looked like that.

At this point I think it's perfectly fair to start with the assumption that a new Crypto is a scam and it needs to do the legwork to show that it isn't. To claim that a blockchain (the most ludicrously inefficient data-structure ever devised) can scale to a billion users is an outrageous claim. The technical means they found overcome this problem should be front and center in their documentation.
Nope, the technique for that is an Atomic Force Microscopy[1].

I don't miss that. But it was better than the alternative at the time...

"Ok, there are at least three versions of the Linksco WG8211, all with different wireless chipsets. The box is identical except for the UPC sub-label - you want the one ending in -02. Some of the -01 boxes might work, but no guarantees, and the -03 definitely doesn't have support yet. You can't tell by the PCI ID, but if you poke this particular register, you can get the sub-version, which should tell you which chipset they're using - if they haven't changed it again."

Wireless cards on Linux, back in the early days of 802.11, were brutal to get working properly, mostly due to lack of drivers. The NDISwrapper was gross and sometimes hard to configure, but it also meant you had a snowball's chance in hell of getting a random wireless adapter working on Linux.
Actually I think we peaked 10-20 years ago. My father experience most of the peak 50-odd years - thankfully he didn't live to see what the world has become.

The sobering reality once you understand things is that we are never more than 1 generation away from living in caves and losing all civilization. The delusion of durability of The Cloud (compared to physical books) is one of the saddest things.

I used to be a vendor for both Seagate and WD - and they'd regale us about how NO HDD can store data forever even if it's not running. Everything fails as long as it at 300K rather than 0K. And the lifespan of most electronics and computer is FAR shorter than most people imagine.
I sure wish software would learn this. Most things just keep getting bloated until they're rewritten.
Take your upvote and get out
Unfortunately it is really challenging to know what the field as a whole says without undertaking some serious lit. review, but from my understanding their main issue with CPI isn’t that you shouldn’t attempt to understand inflation from a quantitative perspective, rather, CPI itself is but one (imperfect) measure of inflation. The “true” value of inflation isn’t perfectly observable, and further, from a policy making perspective, because of its limitations, CPI shouldn’t be a be all end all target. One should look at other measures, such as economic growth and unemployment (inflation after all, occurs when the money supply grows faster than productive capacity). Perhaps that’s “qualitative” by some definition, but it seems to be that it’s more just a case of goodhart’s law.

That’s the best I can gather at the moment.
I don't know why you're attributing motives for this phenomenon to me, because (a) I mostly agree with you, and (b) find it irritating, not satisfying.

(I mean, I agree that my comments will get upvoted much more quickly than yours no matter what I say, not that my comment above was so incoherent that it could only be upvoted out of bias).

The problem with masking usernames prior to votes is that it would make all comments anonymous, and spur a lot of pointless voting.

I'd much rather an HN flag that simply stopped awarding karma or, for that matter, comment scores above (say) 5 once a commenter crosses (say) 50k karma. Dan wouldn't even have to make it mandatory; he could just make it public whether or not you've opted-in to that "level playing field" feature. Most high-karma commenters would.

The top 10 commenter karma scores on the leaderboard were removed after I lobbied for it for months. I wish they'd extend it all the way down to that 50k threshold; at a certain point, you should just have "karma: lots" (like Slashdot used to) and no gradations between those users.

I'd still get bonus upvotes though, because there are people who more or less "subscribe" to my comments. Same thing with Patrick, George Grellas, and 'mechanical_fish. And, god willing, 'tzs.

Finally, believe me, my real professional circle is mostly made up of people who think very little of HN, and my karma here is not a source of "celebrity" for me, or at least, not in a good sense.
We were the lucky targets of China's DNS poisoning on Monday the 19th. Any requests from clients in China to Edgecast's CDN was instead thrown at our public IP. After deducing what was going on, we ended up blacklisting large (class A in some cases) APNIC address blocks assigned to China.

Interestingly, it wasn't our webservers that were overwhelmed but instead the Cisco firewall that sits in front of them. 25K concurrent connections made it decidedly unhappy.
Goodbye Teflon!
We're back to normative with the word "legitimate." I can provide reasons why I or someone else might have certain preferences, but I'm not up to the task of proclaiming which reasons are "legitimate."
If bash is the shell (assuming recursive search is required), maybe it would be even faster to just do:

shopt -s globstar
mawk '/Result/ {
game++
split($0, a, "-")
res = substr(a[1], length(a[1]), 1)
if(res == 1)
white++
if(res == 0)
black++
if(res == 2)
draw++
} END {
print game, white, black, draw
}' **/*.pgn

Think of it as onboarding a user. How do you present yourself? How do you stand out and how do you help certain businesses? Have an online experience that the business card acts as a "key" to. I personally like to make personalized business cards and then customize the experience, eg:

Yeah, as alluded to, "millionaire" doesn't have the same meaning it used to. Yes, a millionaire is by no means poor or middle-class, but a professional (software dev, doctor, lawyer) can easily save up a million dollars if they live in a low-cost area or are frugal.

Let's punch it up to people with 10 million or more (which is more in line with what "millionaire" meant in the days of our parents and grandparents) and see how many first-generation are left. Obviously, that data is hard to come by (and frankly, I'm skeptical of the Cato data, just as I'm not citing data here from Citizens for a Fair Economy).
> I kept saying "RGB, RGB"

How does that help?
>The tax codes suggests it is

Yes, and this is a problem. We tax people who have $1M net worth far too much, and people who have $10M+ net worths (the true 1%) far too little.

Edit: Clarified that I meant to refer to net worth, which is far more useful to talk about.
Right, in US, the government will never force anyone to perform unethical work. That's an interesting assumption.

What if a skilled programmer in North Korea volunteers to perform unethical work?
What if a skilled programmer in US volunteers to perform unethical work?

What if "ethics" simply depends on your country of origin?

To be honest, what you and the grandparent post should be saying is that North Korea is the enemy, and to help the enemy in any way is "bad". Why pretend that you're helping the people of North Korea by not helping the people of North Korea so they can't help their country?
Perhaps, another option would be for the government to help establish a drivers-cooperative app. An app where all the profits collected had to distributed back to the drivers or invested in the common infrastructure to maintain, promote, and improve the app.

The drivers could also agree amongst themselves as to matters such as working conditions and minimum pay.

Uber and others could still exist, but they'd be at a disadvantage because they'd be ploughing billions into nonsense like self-driving blimps or whatever.
I have had the opposite experience and enjoy TNG much more later in life.
Windows 10 is better for another reason, maybe an ironic one: you can easily run Linux on it without spinning up a VM!
Do you mean on the broadcast side? Personally I'm using another instance of OBS to broadcast a few scenes as individual streams from my Linux workstation and my MacBook (right click scene or source -> add filter -> NDI Broadcast)

I've seen these apps on iOS though

Broadcast the camera: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ndi-hx-camera/id1477266080

Broadcast the screen: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ndi-hx-capture/id1501247823

I'm sure Android etc have similar. NDI is (more closely related to?) a protocol rather than a program though, there's bound to be something that speaks it for what you need
