That's fine unless you want to compete in a tournament that use Japanese rules, or Chinese rules, or AGA rules, etc.

Simplified rule sets are fine (as is playing on a 9x9 board), but they don't represent Go as it's generally played.

Merry Christmas, Maguay and Hacker News. Thank you for motivating me to become a hacker. I can't imagine doing anything else.
I find their service pretty low quality. Especially for 900$.

Their example is this website: http://www.tracypaul.com/
That they converted to this: http://tracypaul.convertmyflash.com/

The pages are not the same, much less nicer. No music anymore (even tho I don't like music, html5 has music and I think it is important for the site to be identical).
Also if you change pages on the html5 site, there is no animation! It just changes pages in the browser, which is ugly and completely useless! AJAX!!!
Does anyone know how to get the URL to be displayed as http://☃.net rather than http://xn--n3h.net in Firefox?
And it was banned in Ukraine for being a national threat (which, as a Ukrainian, I fully support). Should also be a hint
I guess everyone is different. For me, laptops especially the MacBook help. The mouse was the problem for me, and when I started getting RSI over 20 years ago, I discovered that when I used a pen-type mouse, everything cleared away. It was because I was using the mouse at the side of the keyboard and that was causing my wrist to twist, which ended up aggravating the nerve in the wrist that ran up and down my arm.

I ended up typing on an ergonomic keyboard, with my mouse in the middle. Whenever I need my mouse, I would push away my keyboard and use the mouse where the mouse is right in the center with my hand slightly askew at a similar angle to where I write with a pencil. This prevented the nerve from being twisted, and my RSI has largely gone away since then.

The MacBook keyboard with the mousepad also in the middle seems to work well for me as well. The main thing is ensuring I don't twist my hand away away from my body that causes the nerve to get compressed.
> We are so familiar with our usual collection of instrumental timbres ... we have assumed that this galaxy is the whole universe.

Some references you may enjoy:

* Music: a Mathematical Offering, Dave Benson. Explains the mathematical theory of how to compute the timbre of an instrument given its shape. Also how the timbre of the instruments determines harmony.

* Tuning, timbre, spectrum, scale, William Sethares. A deep exploration of the relationship between timbre and harmony. It starts by exhibiting a (synthetic) instrument whose octaves are dissonant, and the music that you can do with it. Then it doubles down on this idea to obtain a lot of fun.

* The Topos of Music, Guerino Mazzola. Really hardcore mathematical music theory, too scary for simple people like me.

EDIT: regarding telescopes for seeing timbre... have you ever seen an spectrogram? You can install a spectrogram app in your phone and see the spectra of sounds around you. There's a lot of things! My favorite is opening a rusty old door.
No, I did not say that at all.

The videos in question are still online. They haven’t been removed. It’s clear that the person filming is following police around, trying to provoke a reaction for his Instagram accounts where he sells anti-cop merchandise.
Most of those were political decisions, not ones made by domain experts.

First, the delay of listening to domain experts (In america, the firing of any teams and staff that were trained in dealing with a pandemic, for example), and the delay in shutting down cross-country transportation as well as the delay in implementing social-distancing, led to the large spread of Coronavirus that is continuing to this day.

Secondly, the reason people were informed not to wear masks initially was because there was a PPE shortage. Part of this was very likely related to the fact that I remember reports of people stealing boxes of masks from hospitals, and people stockpiling masks early on, which led to hospitals that were much less equipped to deal with the spread of it and led to higher deaths of healthcare workers.

The reason Coronavirus got to the stage where it could mutate, at least in Britain, was because the Government instituted a policy of blatantly letting people die and assuming "herd immunity" would take hold, versus actually listening to the domain experts saying that was a shitty idea.

If they had listened to them in the first place, and shut things down early on, the pandemic still wouldn't be going a year later. As you can see in China, Taiwan, etc.
The parent site is definitely cool. I'm currently in the position of looking for somewhere cheap to move to and not really having much in the way of geographical constraints, and other UK sites like Rightmove are decidedly unhelpful there - they really want you to commit to an area first. Being able to just pootle around at random zooming hither and yon is nice.
Closures aren't really a functional concept, they can just be used functionally. You'll see a big reduction in closure usage when the new concurrency features ship.
The theory behind Jung and MB deals with the idea of cognitive functions.

https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/underst...

The underlying claim is that people's mental processes fall under these behaviors and from observation it appears that there are four pairs of functions. It is these functional stacks that determine the 16 buckets/types and not any sort of dichotomy of the letters.

1. The breakdown of the letters doesn't make any sense and doesn't appear to lead to any insight. This is a completely valid critique of how MBTI is being pitched and presented. But, at least personally, I find the cognitive functions at least point in the right direction after examining my own mental processes and what is present or absent.

2. If we are measuring the quality of a test to be how well it can repeat the same result, it is not surprising that once you get into a higher dimensionality of representing a person's personality that we don't have a great repeatable way to test. This is a product of both the test and the difficulty of conveying and capturing what it is trying to represent, and the general inexperience of people to be able to accurately enumerate their own thought process.

Happy to hop on zoom or discord and explain functions to anyone interested.
Some programs also use URLs

Today I wanted to send a screenshot by mail.

Should be simple, but with not Gnome. I make the screenshot, Gnome creates a file "Screenshot from ...", but does not tell you where. Then I search it in the file explorer, find it, copy the path. Then I paste the path in the mail program, file:///....Screenshot%20from%20. Then the mail program: "File not found"
Full Source Code: https://github.com/jareklupinski/watchdog-email

The original use case was for microcontrollers that could not do anything beyond making the simplest GET requests, and the only thing needed was to send an email that notifies someone by email about the timeout after a day of inactivity.
i just feel like sticking nuclear waste in the ground and pretending that it's not a problem or won't impact the health of the planet is not a solution
I think that this could be thought as part of a more general revolution: the know-how to program the immune system. This would include things like T-Cells therapy for cancer (1)

They had a way to set money aside for goals. The money would be in your account but it would not show up in the available balance. So you could say, I want to buy this expensive thing, put in the amount you want to save towards it per month and the available balance would hide the money for you until you spent it.
I don’t know why exactly but I genuinely love this image - thank you for sharing. It makes me nostalgic for a time I never even experienced
What about using Facebook Messenger? I switched to that and have to say I’ve been quite pleased with it.
Only annoying thing is that there's no Zelle, so you have to use the Zelle app, so if you want to send or receive payments over $500 you're screwed.
Are there security cameras? If so (assuming footage wasn't tampered with), then you can maybe narrow down the locations where people actually did have physical access.
I think some Lobsters and Crocodiles are in the later category. Immune to cancer, their cells divide without limit over the years. So they never stop growing. The enormous ones are the oldest, and have a size fitness advantage in hunting and other combat, but a counter balancing fitness disadvantage in their increased needs.
Agreed.

The problem is that its intention often is misunderstood and it ends up just misleading people. It's supposed to be motivation for lazy entrepreneurs to DO something about their ideas but can be miscontrued and made to seem like any old idea, well executed, will win. Which from my limited experience so far, is just not true.
Anyone else got any other ideas?
yes, a hellscape of nearly full employment, universal healthcare/world class medicine, and basic needs of citizens guaranteed despite half a century of economic and covert warfare by the world's largest economy. truly horrifying

Set and setting.

I believe it's important to realize that the "magic" is not in the mushroom.

> "Of course, the drug dose does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key — it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures. The nature of the experience depends almost entirely on set and setting. Set denotes the preparation of the individual, including his personality structure and his mood at the time. Setting is physical — the weather, the room's atmosphere; social — feelings of persons present towards one another; and cultural — prevailing views as to what is real. It is for this reason that manuals or guide-books are necessary. Their purpose is to enable a person to understand the new realities of the expanded consciousness, to serve as road maps for new interior territories which modern science has made accessible."

~ Timothy Leary, The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_and_setting

Drugs like LSD and psilocybin are the chemical equivalent of banging on the side of the box to make the TV work.

With proper set and setting you can get profound effects from e.g. a sweat lodge, or even just hyperventilation (I'm referring to Leonard Orr's Rebirthing breathwork. I would normally link to the wikipedia article on it but that's been defaced by capital-S Skeptics and reduced to a note crapping on the whole thing as "discredited". My dad actually worked for Leonard Orr for a bit and what he was doing was pretty profound whatever it was.)

On the one hand, it's great that the vindictive hysteria around psychedelic drugs is calming down, on the other hand I wish the scientific establishment had a little more epistemological sophistication when it came to investigating the inner world.

To sum up, the cure is not in the pill, it's in the set and setting. The pill just gives you an excuse. You can also use e.g. hypnosis, prayer, drumming, dancing, sweat lodges, or weird breathing, to effect the change you want, just to name a small sampling of the available modalities.
It sounds like you've been working in soulless corporate sweatshops, which would be just as miserable regardless of which platform they adopt. Policy is the only thing preventing you from using log4net for logging and NHibernate for ORM (assuming that's what you mean by data mapping), for example, not .NET.
They can just change their JavaScript to capture your master password, or change it to send all of your passwords to them after decryption.

Even if that problem didn't exist, I'm not sure I'd want all of my passwords anywhere in browser memory.
PS: I'm a contractor, per hour and I also do what I love.
No, this has shit to do with "faith in humanity."

All we can do is speculate about whether the story is true or not, and in practice, its veracity is completely irrelevant to our lives. You said "I really don't believe it." What I understand that to mean is "I am as certain that story false as I am certain that I'll suffocate without air." To the extent that you are saying the story is certainly untrue, I am confused by your skepticism. What about the story seems that unbelievable? That in all the billions of people in the world, that four of them didn't end up in a van on the highway with the means and and impetus to help a stranger?

"I have to say though, I've met plenty of non-poor, non-immigrant folk that like to help people out."

Sorry... I hate how much it seems like I'm just categorically slamming everything you're saying, but I'm honestly not gunning for that: When did anyone claim that non-poor, non-immigrant folk don't enjoy helping people out? In my grandparent post, I was only contending that the likelihood of someone helping may be unintuitive. I fancy myself a non-poor, non-immigrant fellow who likes to help people out... so it clearly can't be impossible. :-)
nice, I forgot that I had an account with them, created a lot time ago (11/08). I'll go check them out.
Have you tried to go through this process? Amazon seems to have done a good deal of work to ensure its servers and practices are HIPAA-compliant: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2009/04/06/whitepa...

I think, as you allude, that the primary issue is not technical but behavioral. In the area of healthcare I work in (nursing homes), quite a few organizations have their data hosted elsewhere. Sometimes it's through the vendor, sometimes it's with a third-party service. I don't see that big a leap of faith to Amazon from this.
Yes. git won, bzr is dead. As I said: I am aware and I switched to git because everyone else did. Just don't expect me to be happy about it.
Me too. Wouldn’t be cool if the robots dance along humans, replacing iconic videoclips or scenes? Like the scene of Jerry (from Tom & Jerry) dancing with Gene Kelly https://youtu.be/2msq6H2HI-Y

>If the subject software had a concept of priority, these articles would explain how to set priority using 'configure' but not whether priority=2 was higher or lower than priority=1.

It's amazing how often this is done. Two favourite examples of mine are:

1: Those text-base Captchas which NEVER tell you whether the letters are case sensitive or not.

2: I get a monthly report from Yandex Webmaster which gives me some basic info on visits to my sites. It also gives my sites a 'score' which varies up or down a bit. Sometimes it's 10. Sometimes it's 8.

Not one single time in the several years I've been receiving these reports has Yandex ever thought to enlighten me as what this score means; whether it's good when the score goes up... or when it goes down... or what the score is out of. Is my site occasionally scoring 10/10?... or is it scoring 10/100 or /1000?
> Cities and universities serve very different populations.

As Jane Jacobs observed many decades ago: you don't live in a city, you live in a neighbourhood.

You design the urban environment where, with-in a fifteen minute walk, you have grocery stores, butchers, coffee shops, dry cleaners, pubs, a library, dentists, doctor offices, elementary school, bakery, flower shops, etc.

It's not that hard: we were doing it for a long-time before WW2.

You can have big houses:

And small houses in it:

All with backyards and (laneway) garages. Throw in some (medium-rise) apartment buildings while you're at it:

High enough density for pubic transit, which makes car ownership optional and not a necessity.
Systems can be made more secure, and organisational culture can change.

Don’t fire an engineer because they took unintentionally production down. Learn from it and fix it.
I'm in Canada. In 2010 my son was unwell, having issues with lethargy, balance and vomiting. We took him to the local children's hospital and he had a CT scan within 2 hours and an MRI an hour after that.

As part of his ongoing treatment the hospital scheduled an MRI every 3 months for a year, then every 6 months for 5 years, and now it's annual. The scans happen on time every time.

Waiting lists are prioritized based on urgency.
Are the skill progress bars really recommended? Why is 'Adaptability' 80% full whereas 'Agile Processes' 100%?
Is $1.77 billion enough, when companies had to ground 700 airframes for more than a year, only to reopen during the Covid lockdowns? It feels like it is not 100% served, although justice cases are never 100% satisfying.
There is so much abandoned and bullshit video on there, it couldn't possibly be worth it.
Silverlight: Polluting the mind of the commoner, making them believe it's the hottest shit since slice bread and that everything else is inferior. Then realizing that this cross-microsoft-platform wonder is just a bad flash imitation, then deprecating it saying that HTML5 is better.
"Bnter was so star-struck by Spark, the company hadn’t widely pitched itself to other investors, but told the ones that it had talked to it’d be going with Spark."

That seems like a pretty big mistake. It sounds like Bnter could have probably still come away from this with VC backing.
I read that 200k was the cost that bnter had incurred because of the deal. I don't know what else there could be other than legal fees. Maybe a lease for a much bigger space that they had needed.
+1 and my nomination for the Dr Sheldon Cooper ubergeek of the month award (the combination of the bizarre password story and the 1:07 digital clock is unbeatable in my view)
Maidoff was rising money as well. Here he spent life in prision; in China they kill.
I wish they penalties in US would be harsher. Death is too extreme, but this is China, overpopulated, I never lived there havent been raised so have no idea how their brains work.
But the truth is, if penalties in US would be harsher, you wouldnt have 30yrs old pot smoker going to jail for 5 years for 2 joints, while Vacovia washing $700mil of worth cocaine on plane to US and got "penalized" $300mil and nobody goes to jail.
Same with real estate bubble. People committed suicides after loosing houses, while Goldman was giving $100mil in bonuses. Wild Wild West in 2011!
actually HN has always been self aware in this regard.

Aren't they a crypto exchange and, similar to Coinbase, make their money on fees? If so, being down, especially when prices are soaring, hurts. If people cannot trade on their platform, they're not getting any fees.

It sounds like a pretty dumb scam if you as me.
You can still do that on hard-wired AT&T land lines. The hardware at the CO end supports it, and it's still enabled.
Each state makes 6-9 copies of the certifications that get sent to Congress. And each house of Congress gets their own stamped/sealed and certified "originals". So I would say there was next to zero chance of the ballots being destroyed having any lasting impact, other than the sheer horror of it occurring, of course.
> Here at Nieman Lab, we’re long-time fans of the work being done at First Draft, which is working to protect communities around the world from harmful information

Imagine being such a weak-minded person that you believe in the existence of "harmful information". It's not even necessarily untrue or wrong, it's just "harmful". Harmful to whom? The people who own the media? Propagandists? This redefinition of the word "harm" is typical Newspeak bullshit.

Here's some harmful information for you: you're going to lose this war, because you're trying to impose censorship on people, and we hate it. We hate your patronizing attitude, your view that people are dumb and can't handle contrasting opinions about the world. People will build systems to route around this, to escape from your walled garden of comfortable verified propaganda.

It's a shame, but not a surprise, that COVID is being used as an excuse to shove all this control down people's throats. 9/11 was used as an excuse to shove the Patriot Act and other freedom-resticting laws into place that did not prevent any terrorism or make anything better (except for people with make-work TSA jobs). I get the feeling that Nieman Lab's members like many others were just waiting for some excuse to push even more draconian censorship mechanisms onto social media. 20 years from now, no doubt, some other big catastrophe will be used as an excuse to restrict things further.

You think you're doing a good thing, but you're just an apparatchik, just an agent of propagandists and moneyed interests, and it's obvious.
Compare reslash's UI/UX to here's and you'll see it's more than just "similar". They literally copied the control bar at the bottom identically.
Infantile means you don’t have a developed prefrontal cortex and is definitely not a positive description. Creative and playful are not the same concept.
Hey, thanks for making it easier to devalue the work of artists! I really appreciate the way sites like this make it easier for people to do stuff without ever even thinking about paying someone who's spent years of their life learning how to distill complex concepts down into simple images to do something for them.
I did too. But I never did connect the value points to the admin activities.

If I sysadmin again, I am going to do that. "Why those trains ran on time."
Decentralized trading seems like it would be a problem from the perspective of paying your taxes. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s just the honor system.

Keep track of all your assets, what you bought and sold them for, and tell your accountant if you have one. Or learn the tax laws surrounding capital gains.
The unpaved bits where they tore up the track but left the rock are 'challenging' to ride. Even for an experienced off road rider. The best I ever managed was about 2 miles of it. The paved bits you can go for a decently long time. Just be aware some portions are 10-20 miles with nothing really in between but farm fields, so plan accordingly.
These are just loans and grants to affordable housing orgs. Seems perfectly reasonable.
For my wife's surgery (gall bladder removal - supposedly one of the most common in the country) insurance paid the surgeon, and initially denied the hospital bill and anesthesiologist bill as medically unnecessary. After 8 months of back and forth and dozens of multi-hour-long phone calls insurance finally covered it all.

I don't really care whose fault it is, I shouldn't have to play phone tag with two powerful entities over the course of 8 months as they try to figure out if they're going to fuck me over or not. It's a huge waste of time.
I ask my junior sysadmins / new hires to write a daily log for their first year or so.

What did you do today?

What do you need help with?

What went well?

What was frustrating?

What should we change or fix?

When we get together to talk about their day or their week, these logs are extremely useful. Sometimes they generate tickets, sometimes book or course recommendations, people to talk to, sometimes just conversations.
Management should clearly see impact and that your work multiplier is higher. Their loss for sure.

Typically, higher leveled engineers have higher workforce multipliers —- their output is measured not only on their own work but how they move the whole team, division, company, or industry forward.
