Without referencing any source I'll just assume you made that up. As far as I know there's no difference between say the French or German republic or the Dutch (symbolic) monarchy in this regard.

Dutch representatives are accessible by the people. They have a walk-in hour, you can call them, email them, write them, you can join hearings and meetings where they're present, they go out into the country to talk to citizens. But what you can't do is waltz into their office. This has obvious reasons in a post 9/11 world, and it has nothing to do with the fact the Netherlands has a king who has a purely symbolic function and does not participate in politics, no different from say France which is a republic, or Germany which saw a mob storm the Reichstag a few months ago and was easily held off by the police, which is also a republic.
Should've shot them too if they refused to back down
Simple has been on a downwards trajectory for a while now. Not handling wire transfers was infuriating when buying a house and refinancing and the recent removing of bill pay/check sending was egregious. You want to know how they tried to spin that? They sent out an email saying “we now support paper checks!” And then at the bottom said something like “and bill pay is going away kthxbye”.

YNAB “manages” all my money now so thankfully switching isn’t terrible. I just have to switch my direct deposit, my utilities, and my CC’s and I’m done.

I’m sad to see Simple die but it’s had one foot in the grave for a while.
This page says they "charge" for WhatsApp, at least in 2012. I didn't know that. What were they charging for? To buy the app or something else?
I don't really see how implicating "all white people" as complicit in modern day whit supremacy isn't basically the definition of a claim in bad faith? This kind of cryptic pseudo argument is what makes these people even more incensed.

Applying your logic to your own politics would lead me to believe that "all left leaning americans" are communists who want to take my property by force, just because I saw one hammer and sickle on a flag.

I feel the one on the left was easier to skim through. The one on the right might be designed better, but I found it more difficult to skim.
Yeah people nowadays are unnecessarily obsessed with expressing a "correct" opinion from their perspective. Sometimes you just can't comment on someone else's life work like that, especially if they have put their heart into it.

It's really hard to work on the right things, and we should appreciate people having been steadfast in the direction they are heading in.
I believe you need iTunes U.
I wouldn't use it yet for real projects. Even getting the compiler to work can be tricky sometimes. For example, when writing a function with generic argument constraints, I sometimes had to flip the LHS and RHS to get things to compile where it made no logical difference. (e.g., S.Generator.Element == X instead of X == S.Generator.Element).
WOW this must be the most useless app i've ever seen.

Please don't take me wrong but i really LOL'ed reading your post...

Some may have gotten offended, but I found your post helpful, thanks! Bangalore sounds pretty cool, but things shutting down at 10pm is kind of a concern.
If there is a reliable internet connection, I'll be able to work. I was thinking a city so that I could meet people and not get bored/lonely since I'll be working alone.

To be fair, the same was said about touchscreens and VR.
Why would anyone use this when there is C++, Rust, etc? Genuinely curious.
NNUE is weird. No one outside the chess/shogi community talks about it because they seem to have a very case of strong not-invented-here syndrome. It's hand-optimised CPU code that doesn't (yet) run on the GPU (which is why it is "faster").

To be fair, they do want to embed it into a consumer friendly application, and the integration for embedding TF or something that can run pytorch models on a GPU without python is non-trivial.

If someone ported it to a GPU, it almost certainly would be faster. See http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=76986

There is a PyTorch port available, but no benchmarks unfortunatly. It does seem to be fairly widely used for training though, which is indicative of the speed gains available.
Is this meant for humor?

Don't get me wrong. I personally am a command line person too and I like your setup.

However, contrast:

> Right click and select menu option

with:

> In one column there are the commands with placeholders, and in the other column there are descriptions of the commands. I have a shell function that provides this text file as input to fzf, and the shell function is bound to a key. I press the key, type a few words to find the command I want to run, press enter, and then the command is placed in the command prompt without the description.

Wall Street refers to the high frequency game as "taking the dumb money".

This is a rather strange thing for them to say, since it's usually the smart money types complaining about HFT.

It used to be that mutual/pension funds and other institutional investors could hide their big trades in noise - the market would adjust slowly, and other people (retail investors, smaller shops, assorted other suckers) would absorb the price impact of the trades. Now they are complaining they can't do this anymore.

http://www.advancedtrading.com/exchanges/showArticle.jhtml?a...

(The authors of this article work for a "rent our 'screw the retail guys' algorithm" outfit.)

Basically, assorted HFT shops catch them in the act, trade ahead of them, and split the profits with the former "suckers" [1].

Yea once it's gotten to where it's stablish and can render most websites I'm really wondering how hard it'd be to start making it work on the desktop as a replacement. I know there's the whole XUL issue but I'm betting that's solvable since they don't have XUL on mobile/firefox OS either.
See, I take the opposite view for the same reason. I see the contextual information like date as informative in my own posts and in others. An outrageous post looks less outrageous posted in a time when our knowledge of the world was different. Insight that's on the mark is that much more prescient if someone made it well before anyone else saw that same insight.

I think there are probably good reasons not to provide context for your posts, just like there are times that it makes more sense to post anonymously (or pseudonymously), but I don't think this post makes a good case for removing context like post date by default.

ProtonPlus is a simple Proton version manager that make it easy to install and manage Proton versions. It works with Steam, Lutris and Bottles and will soon have support for custom locations. It was made in Vala with GTK4 and Libadwaita using GNOME Builder. Hope you people like it, I made it with love.
Comically with their resources they could have put together a type-safe back end on sqllite with multiple available frontend APIs to gradually transfer users to Excel But Not Shitty, yet seem to have made no effort towards anything like that.

I still see people getting date and numeric fields mangled by excel on analysis processes that take literal days to solve because it ends up recursing over all the cells multiple times, and yet even showing them a simple Python or whatever program that does the same thing in minutes, and the result is still put in excel, the next time they need something similar ... Here's another excel abomination.

These aren't dumb people. They've been trained by Excel that the world is awful, slow, and error prone.
You have to understand that a payout (which is very, VERY rare to be worth anything to you) is likely to be years off.

I think these are both valid approaches for different company sizes. If it's a team of 3-4, you're primarily an IC, who also CTO's. If it's a team of 10-15, it's the opposite.

I am kinda surprised it's not higher, just because solar and wind energy is so cheap now I assumed it would be attractive.

That said, even if it was run with renewable energy, at this point in time it would still contribute to emissions indirectly. That power could have been used to displace fossil fuel usage, so diverting it to bitcoin hashing causes a net emissions increase for... very little benefit.

In my experience, there's a strong negative correlation between popularity of a technical topic and the average quality of what comes up in a Google search.

Popular things like Java or JS have page after page of pure crap. Rust or Haskell will have generally pretty good content. Python used to have decent content, but has been trending downwards sharply.
We don’t have a word as popular and overused as “coup” to describe the attempt to shut down the transfer of power.

But this did involve the storming of a legislature in session in a obvious attempt to thwart the proceedings in a power grab. It was poorly organized but seemed premeditated on the part of many participants.

Another point is that college students do not all live on-campus and in dorms.

Depending on the school, it's possible to live in the dorm the first year, and possibly move to another form of housing or off-campus as time goes on.

Many students put up with the dorms and roommates because they don't know any better at first. When they do know better, they work out other arrangements with a little more room (and fewer rules)
Those aspects of a vehicle are only commoditized if you discount the massive amount of time poured into design, integration, and manufacturing engineering.

It's easy to buy some bolt-on aftermarket automotive product and attach it to your vehicle. Actually integrating that thing in a way that meets (sometimes conflicting) safety, reliability, manufacturing, cost, manpower, etc. requirements can be a special sort of hell that you wouldn't wish upon anybody.
He is writing such programs, essays etc since long time on his website norvig.com, I don't think he only like python and definitely not the marketing at all.

The difference I think is that students frequently have to move between buildings while people outside of education typically visit 2 - 3 buildings (including home) in a day. With remote work you could just make sure you are with in close walking distance of the supermarket / retail as well as a public transport stop that gets you to all the places you visit occasionally (the beach, etc)

Well, there's http://news.ycombinator.com/classic though it's not really a list, more of an alternate front page.
We've changed the URL from https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/06/apple-introduces-maco..., which is the press release.

If there's a better URL for discussing this, we can change it again.

Edit: it looks like https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline... is probably a better URL for discussing this, so we'll change to that from https://www.apple.com/macos/big-sur-preview/.

Edit 2: since https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23606052 posted that and is now on the front page, maybe it's better to just let the discussion pick up there. This thread is pretty generic. Perhaps an article with more detailed information will lead to a more interesting discussion.

Whoa, how is Go a successor to Python, with completely different philosophy? Especially considering static typing.

It's light years closer to C++.
The only things I would ask myself in your place are: "Am I being objective in thinking I have nothing to learn from these people?" (it's easy to delude yourself) and "Can I change the room without leaving the company?". If the answers are "yes" and "no" respectively you need to cut your losses.

I was in your situation once. Stuck it out a year longer than I should have wanting things to get better. They never did. The day I left was cathartic release. And now I work with a bunch of people much smarter than me and it's great.
Someone turning a widely-used third-party-hosted JS into "evil" seems like an incredibly difficult layer 7 DDoS to address. Assuming you have great capacity to filter on the edge (CloudFlare, being Google, etc.), but a limited backend, it's still very hard to identify legit vs. non-legit traffic and do filtering.

(Obviously if the attack is against, say, Chinese users, and your site's legitimate users are mainly in Estonia, you can do filtering, or if the attack only hits an obscure URL, but the attack doesn't have to be weak in that way.)

There are a bunch of potential ways to address it, but they all work best if you have a site with a defined community of users. If you're a large public site, without login, it's hard. Some of the better techniques are in-browser challenges (JS, CAPTCHA, etc.), but it's conceivable with enough endpoint with real browsers and real humans on them, these could get defeated.
Committing downloaded packages is not a bad practice. Yes, it can be a bit big, but otherwise I don't see much problem with it. You will be always sure that the installed packages are compatible with each other.
No, probably not.

There is evidence that there virus was not engineered. The spike protein is completely novel and existing techniques for finding bonding proteins do not see this virus as a good binding candidate.

It is conceivable that the lab was studying bat coronavirus and accidentally released it, but Occam's razor suggests that the market where most early patients contacted the virus, similar to the market where SARS evolved, is the actual source.
Even if it diminishes, it won't be over—it'll come back in the fall, at which point we still won't have a vaccine.

I can say from experience of my own and others, that people usually keep these close to their chest, I consider mine a bible. In fairness, its a tool, so what you do with it is up to you. It's really hard to organise a standard library for even video work as each source is always a bit different, given the amazing community aroudn questions and answers I suspspect nobody wants to have a standard the same as ImageMagic.. It really is a different beast.

Edit : With certain frames, certain 'standards' settings would not result the same, so.. It's really impossible to have 1.

You might have 1 clip which requires 2 entirely different settings.

This is a great question. Usually web developers aren't in charge of these projects, local city and state officials are. We should assume they're not technologically inclined. How can the information presented help them?

I wonder if there's room for a startup here, automated offsite emergency pages for town and city officials to use to quickly publish information.

You do realize there was a time where HIV/AIDS wasn't at all understood right? HIV/AIDS is not "technically a pandemic" it is a pandemic period. Pandemic is a geographic relative term it does not need to to "affect all populations/demographics." That is not a qualification. That appears to be some something you made up. The role of epidemiology is the same whether something is a flu pandemic or some other disease. The reason Dr Deborah Birx is qualified in her current role is because of her research in the early days of the HIV/AIDs pandemic. Nobody is claiming she is not qualified because that wasn't a flu pandemic.
That's certainly a factor. Commercial corridors became commercial corridors in SF because they were more accessible for horse and carriage back in the 1850-90s since they were flat, the same reason why they are the ideal bike routes around the hills today.

We can't do anything about these geographic bottlenecks though and the fact is that people are biking more and more, despite the hills. Better transit is probably the key, but I have a tough time seeing cars as a long-term solution.
Disclosure: I work at Intel.

At one of the internal Q&As, there was a question as to why we didn't just implement CUDA. One of the reasons given was that the lawyers looked at the license of CUDA and decided that Intel could not legally implement CUDA for Intel's GPU devices. I don't know the details, but quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if Nvidia didn't somehow put a poison pill in there to prevent Intel or AMD from implementing it for their own GPUs (note that AMD also doesn't provide an implementation of CUDA for its own GPUs).

Instead, the strategy Intel pursued was to develop a migration tool from CUDA to Sycl: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/o...

If you're at University, a far better way is to take an intership for a company that does security. We've had nothing but amazing luck with our interns. They're paid positions and they connect you directly to people who will be hiring when you get out of school. We're a consultancy, so in addition to hiring directly, we're also doing all of our clients a huge favor any time we can place someone for them.

Long story short: I might not waste my time with professors. Get out of the building and into the real world!
I agree. His move was still better than having the VCs choose the highest bidder leaving him without a company to run. I think he reached a local maximum given his situation.
> Why not call it a massively-interconnected, nano-organic cellular automata computer instead?

That would be unrealistic, absurd, and impossible. How are you going to get an infinite amount of computation in finite time with a cellular automaton or a computer made out of discrete components? The only chance of realistic technobabble is quantum effects. That way, you can pull all sorts of mumbo jumbo like "doing infinitely many things in parallel" or "teleporting the results of computation across space without violating causality" or "expressing the future of a simulation in the binary expansion of real number." And the story simply wouldn't work without a deterministic universe.

P.S. I'm not the author.
In a way it's disappointing. I view HN as an island surrounded by a sea of tl;dr and we're fighting to keep it off our shores.
