I'm sorry for your loss. I found that time does heal most wounds. From experience, try not to make any big decisions right now, you'll tend to be emotive and reactional, rather than rational. Eat healthy and get lots of sleep (psychological effects of trauma cause real physical effects).
Indeed, I'm hacking on it now and it seems like there is no way to avoid detecting complete vs incomplete expressions. I guess the question then becomes, can the expressions be classified in a way that is both fast and correct? Let's see if I can find a way.
I'm going to start using some of this "inappropriately" and see what happens.

I'm not racist but it's cold in here.

lol, if you tried you could find racism in lots of innocent sentences prefixed with that.
How to troll online chess:

1. Open up Chess.app

2. Turn CPU difficulty all the way up

3. Start lichess game as black

4. Mirror lichess opponent's moves into Chess.app

5. Mirror Chess.app opponent's moves into lichess

6. Talk incredible amounts of smack
The algorithm is mostly based on this paper:
http://www.math.admu.edu.ph/~raf/pcsc05/proceedings/AI4.pdf
but there are some steps open. I've implemented this algorithm because it's not as hardware intensive as the usual nude detection algorithms (such as searching for specific body parts)
Only add meaningful words. A "to be honest" or "in fact" can be removed. Brevity!
Sounds like you weren't that motivated in the first place. Could have been a blessing in disguise to meet at hurdle sooner rather than later.

All of the four levels end up with an engineer who "does what is asked". But sometimes an engineer has to push back and ask: "Why are you asking me to do this? It seems misguided and very expensive. What problem are you really trying to solve by asking me to do this particular thing?"
How does one qualify as a European user? That is, how can I get WhatsApp to share less data?
So we need the gov to create a public twitter? It is not very hard or expensive, and twitter will loose market

Any modern C compiler will already warn you if the format string isn’t a string literal (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32362918/error-format-st...)

I don’t think it’s worth the effort to extend that to look for tainted strings, not because it wouldn’t be useful, but because it would be hard to do (as an extreme example: is data read from a file user input? It could be a file containing internationalization info)

The (relatively) few programs that construct format strings on the fly will have to add pragmas to disable these warnings.
Meh, such hijinks could be achieved, less neatly, with pseudo elements and getComputedStyle.

I haven't tried this, but this should have the same effect:

.sneaky-class:before {
content: '{"tracking_code": "abc"}';
display: none;
}

const trackingPayload = JSON.parse(
window.getComputedStyle(
document.querySelector(".sneaky-class"),
":before")
.getPropertyValue("content")
);
The argument in that section is that section 230 is a big gift to everyone on the internet, not just big tech.

The article does not argue that 230 is “no big deal” as you suggest. (Just the opposite, in fact.)
I have a WordPress blog and a separate forum for comments.

If I were responsible for comments, I would do either of two things:

a) just shut down the forum,
b] use a paid commenting service that would come with moderation. This means that people who would want to comment would probably pay some fee for that privilege.

Accidentally, b) is unusual for us, but a quite sustainable model. Surely more sustainable than current "show ads for free stuff", which seems to be hitting its limits.

I believe you're right... a hugely successful ad for the Tang powdered drink in South America showed a spoilt rich kid asking his butler for Tang after they were stranded with no oranges in sight. (One of the messages I take from the ad was that the rich kid was missing on what the butler knew all along)

I really hate it how many people when talking about health talk about losing weight. It somehow undermines credibility of other things theys say.

What if I don't need to lose weight? What if I actually need to eat more? Haven't you thought about it, mister?
I suppose that depends on how you define worthwhile, doesn't it?

Rewards encourage behaviour that earns them.
That's an option I'd forgotten, thanks.

Of course. Hah, but also consider this is HN, not the internet proper.
Have you made an iPad version yet?
I've managed to turn my company into a mostly email based business. I have had maybe 5 meetings all year this year in person, and a couple phone calls a week tops. I've been in business almost 10 years and the act of going to meetings and having phone conversations is still a major challenge for me.

Biggest problem: I don't have time to think before I blurt something out when on the phone or in person. With email, I can craft my words, then even WAIT before I say them, think some more if needed, and I control my conversation rather than vamp and hope for the best.
Yes, everybody has the right to criticize the soccer league. And the soccer league has the right to not accept the children of troublesome parents.
That's one of the common criticisms of modern art, that it is largely about justification of the work.

After I went to Art Basel last year and happened on a display which was, quite literally, a few kilograms of nutella dumped on the floor, I was hard pressed to disagree...
Cool, now all you got to do is fill it up with twitter drones and you can successfully manipulate social media. Congratulations :P

privacy is a fundamental right

The problem here is that there's no such thing as a "fundamental right". All we have is government and our legal framework; nothing about what we can or can't do exists outside of that[1]. Philosophers have looked at this many times[2], and none have managed to come up with a satisfactory definition of 'rights' that works. Consequently all we have to work with when it comes to saying what we can do, what we have the 'right' to do, and perhaps more importantly what the government can do, is the law. Really, the problem is that governments are tasked with limiting their own power over us; surrendering power is something that very few people are good at.

[1] There's morals and ethics, but that's what you should do rather than what you can do.

[2] If you're interested, I highly recommend reading about Jeremy Bentham who wrote about the topic more than 200 years ago: http://www.iep.utm.edu/bentham/#SH5b

I worked on this ages ago :). It's replaying the last minute's edits, and since all of the editing tools just file a changeset (like a commit) all at once, it has to reconstruct what it looked like to draw those features. That timing is just based on a fixed count of seconds it should take to draw a line, a point, etc. The code's here:

On the "doxxing" controversy, it’s odd to see people who are supposedly in favor of free speech advocate for what is essentially the "right" to be publicly forgotten (since Scott’s real name was already public knowledge due to some of his past writings that were under his real name). Free speech and the right to be forgotten are in direct conflict.
But why would the same people that poorly designed the monolith be able to design the intrinsically more complex microservice architecture better?
This thread suggests that becoming a dad is not unlikely to throw you into a 2-year deep depression: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30240609

"Even with this realization, there were lots of times where I sat on the couch the first year and just felt like I was drowning and life was over. That happened in the second year as well, but less after the child was 18 months. And by ~2.5, it's a lot better!"

That's hardly a good outcome for anyone, let alone someone who misses the joy of life they had in their 20s.
Cloudflare Tunnel will spin up a free tunnel for you even without a Cloudflare account. If you run `brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared` and then `cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8080` you will get a URL you can use to reach that local port from the Internet.

I use it to share in-progress work with co-workers, test webhooks, etc.

Yepp, but most mailclients block externally-linked content in HTML emails. Only inlined content is loaded.

And if you measure only those clients that ignore that/whitelist that, the metric is skewed/biased towards less-privacy sensetive users.
I agree. If I could rewind time I would do Medicine, at least my work would have some positive value instead of being neutral at best.
Of course not.) The idea here is that anxious rushing is not part of local tradition But if a hypothetical old lady would drive 75 or 70, she would've been overtaken mercilessly.
We have emissions testing only in the state of Ohio, and I don't think that's unusual. That ends up being a bit of a general maintenance test as well, as a car cannot pass if it has any current OBD-II errors at all.

It's only done every two years, however.
Considering they filed a suit against Apple for infringement, I don't think that was the case.
I never understood: why do people hate macports so much?
Ok, it kind of duplicates half of the libraries in the system, but it has worked fine for me for many years, and it's usually reasonably up to date and quite large.
One problem I've found specific to the Pi (and likely most of the other lower powered ARM chips out there, from what I've seen from Rock Pi, Pine boards, etc.) is that the PCIe layer is not 100% supported on the hardware level as it should be if you want to support features like IO bar space (nonexistent on ARM).

On top of that, until the past couple years, there were only a few exotic ARM builds (probably mostly in custom or enterprise land) that even had standard PCIe slots, so many vendors didn't (and still don't) test their drivers—even if compiled for ARM—on any real hardware.

I hope this changes, especially since Macs now have ARM64, the Pi CM4 supports it, and some other inexpensive SBCs have 4x or even 8x lanes on the more expensive ones (is there an ARM motherboard out there with a 16x lane bus?).

For the Pi in particular, until the CM4 came out, very few people would ever get access to the PCIe bus on the regular Pi 4 model B, so only enough work was done on the kernel side to ensure the VL805 USB controller worked, and a few bits were just never fully implemented or tested (e.g. BAR allocations, MSI-X support, some memory access functions).
Summary: Myers-Briggs is a useful model, when a few adjustments are made.

1. Problems I've Discovered

1a. Myers-Briggs pigeon-holes people into one "personality type", and generalizes what they should think and do based on that. I think that's kind of silly and limiting.

1b. If you read the personality descriptions, it is favorable towards the "rare" types, describing them as brilliant geniuses, while the other types are portrayed as barely sentient worker drones. I think that's really condescending and divisive.

2. Adjustments I've Made

Nevertheless, I think the questions and the other text is a USEFUL tool for SELF-ASSESSMENT and also for UNDERSTANDING others, so I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Here is how I make Myers-Briggs make sense and fit into my other mental models:

2a. First, instead of four scales, I consider it an EIGHT-SCALE system, with each trait being its own measure. For example, you can be high on the introversion scale (needs alone time to recharge) and at the same time also be high on the extraversion scale (connects with others readily, needs socializing to thrive.) I think the worldwide quarantine made this obvious to many an self-described introvert.

This applies to all the other scales as well. You can be someone with intense feelings and at the same time a thorough and dedicated thinker, who sits down and combs their mental models for hours. You can be very good at listening to your intuition while also being highly perceptive to your senses. And you can have firm general rules about how things "should be", especially as one gets older, while still remaining to new possibilities.

2b. The other adjustment I have made is that I consider each scale to be a measure of how much ABILITY a person has developed and PRACTICING that trait. In other words, beyond natural predisposition, each person can grow considerably in any of these traits, provided they practice and apply it regularly.

Conclusion: People are neither introverts, nor extraverts, but both. People are both thinkers and feelers, both judgers and perceivers, and both intuiters and sensers.

The best that can be said of MBTI is that it has a slight correlation with one of the Big 5 dimensions. So it's not useless but it's close to useless. On the other hand it's expensive whereas the Big Five has been validated and it's free. Really MBTI is just a waste of time and money.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you find useful enough to make it worthwhile to write one?
I just remember using xenix, and the trouble we had porting some software to run on it.

We were using SCCS, and when we would check in foo.c it would become s.foo.c

Then trying to build with make, it wouldn't find some file or wouldn't apply a c compile rule and nothing would work.

Turns out xenix had a filename length limitation (I don't recall exactly, but maybe 12 or 15 characters?)

So files like longfilename.c would hit the length limitatation and when checked into sccs would become s.longfilename. and truncate away the filetype. and since it wasn't a c file anymore...

But I do remember it was an operating system that might actually use protected mode and extra memory of the 286 - without EMS or XMS shenanigans that came to the dos world.

A lot of early PC & DOS development was shackled by silly limitations. You couldn't write a program that didn't do all kinds of checks to make sure you didn't use more than 64k because of the real mode segmented memory. Same with filenames, or linking+overlays or any number of things.

We take all that stuff for granted now. I write scripts that read an entire file into memory, do things and write it back out. Those things were a real headache back then.
Respectfully disagree, Sir.
The interesting thing for me is that a variable without a type annotation could potentially store anything. It kind of explains why the language used "int" as the default type of variables declared without a type annotation.
> The number of binaries of _all languages_ in iOS increases year over year

This is not true either. "the number of binaries written entirely in C is now stagnating"

> the number of Swift binaries in proportion to the number of Objective-C binaries is increasing year over year

This is true. But it's a much weaker claim than the one I was replying to.

In other words, the reports of Objective-C's death have been greatly exaggerated. ;-)
In theory stocks for valuable companies are valuable since you own a part of something valuable - however for that value to be liquidated without a trade to another party the company itself needs to be acquired. It turns out that valuable acquisitions happen pretty often in the tech space due to how undervalued the network effect is by the stock market but - when a normal company is acquired it is after having shed the majority of its value. Exiting the market in the final sense really only happens with failure - instead it's closer to an act of better against the failure of the company in question - believing it will remain solvent for a long period of time.

That, at least, goes for dividendless stocks - for dividend stocks the math changes a bit and more valuable companies are valued since there is an expectation that they will continue to pay current - or higher - dividends for a long time with individuals still able to leave the market by pawning off their shares. But, at EOD - it's essentially the same math but with a bit of extra fudging in one category.
The best option might be to get in touch with your local university forestry extension, for example: https://forestry.wsu.edu/

Another resource would be your local USDA office. The NRCS should be available to provide free site-specific technical assistance (e.g. for soil regeneration and conservation planning). There are also zillions of loan/grant/easement/conservation payment programs that the USDA runs: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/prog...
This is very much my experience! When I developed RSI I immediately went down the ergo-keyboard route, assuming I had been doing something wrong, when in reality it was just the change to a laptop for a long time.

It was quite weird filming myself and looking back at it. I never even noticed that I regularly hit Y with my left hand, for example!
"Writing near the end of the first century B.C.E., Roman architect Vitruvius Pollio identified three elements necessary for a well-designed building: firmitas, utilitas, and venustas. Firmness or physical strength secured the building's structural integrity. Utility provided an efficient arrangement of spaces and mechanical systems to meet the functional needs of its occupants. And venustas, the aesthetic quality associated with the goddess Venus, imparted style, proportion, and visual beauty. Rendered memorably into English by Henry Wotton, a seventeenth century translator, “firmness, commodity, and delight” remain the essential components of all successful architectural design."
I listen to music and podcasts while working/programming most of the day.

If it is focused work mainly electronic music and soundtracks.

Less focused I'll listen to podcasts or even audio books.

I even have a few tracks I'll just put on repeat (single track) if I really need to focus on something.

I'm finding this whole comment thread a bit hard to read, because this is at least the third Stonehenge special Mike Pearson has done with the BBC at this point, not to mention plenty of appearances on Time Team.

You're pretty spot on - this is a well-known archaeologist with an established record as a television presenter. From what I remember of the previous Stonehenge specials, the filming process appeared to be: academic research team does the excavation for a few months, camera crew comes in when a "big moment" is expected, and also films a rollup where the researchers talk over exciting discoveries made in the past months while they're there. They've been digging near Stonehenge and on associated sites along the river for years and years.
this rings true actually.

I had a friend who typed with just the three fingers on the right hand while the left hand hovered all of the most essential letters with all five fingers. it seemed to work pretty well to just have one hand hunting around the keyboard. That said, it might making correct shift-usage correct which can negatively affect the other hand.

That being said, I have my laptop on my lap right now and if I have one hand on home row, and the other hand just kind of idly floating over the right side of the keyboard, when you go to place the fingers on home row, you can really feel in the wrist and forearm the muscles pulling the hand "outward," in relation to the rest of the arm. This, incidentally, is where a lot of my RSI-type pain has come from.

The elbows going out, fore arms craning inwards, and then the wrist pulling to straighten the hands back out is a recipe for pain.
