It might not actually! I saw a post here on hn recently where somebody made a version of connect 4 that didn't need javascript OR page reloads.

IIRC the gist of it was:
1) The page was never done loading
2) Each element (slot for a piece) was tied to a unique piece of css (for the hover state? active state?)
3) When the element of was clicked it would trigger a resource request from the server
4) The server used that as a cue to spit out some more html onto the ever loading page.
OK, but do you have a better system? The large, mainstream platforms need to be managed somehow, and their content has to be not too far from the consensus. You don't have to like it, but that's how the mainstream operates. As long as you have other venues where you can do stuff that's outside the consensus, I don't see the problem. I think that the way GitHub is managed now in terms of content (including code of conduct enforced by project leads) is very reasonable for a mainstream platform.

Personally, I don't know if research shows open-source code-of-conduct helps curtail the very real, very serious problem of online-community marginalization (I have seen research on that) or not, but I'd rather defer to the experts, and in any case, it's worth a try. Just as code should be written by expert programmers, community management should be directed by the advice of social experts. Again, I don't know if this is backed by research or an experiment in itself to see if the approach is effective, but I'd rather trust people who devote their lives to studying the issue than to programmers who just "feel" this is wrong. If programmers want to run their own communities and not rely on the advice of experts, they're welcome to do it outside the mainstream platforms. If their approach works better to decrease marginalization, I'm sure the experts will take it to heart.
I would argue that the employees are in a better position to make the decisions than the CEO is. They have all the info right there; the CEO has either no informatipn, late infotmation, or inaccurate information.

Did you read the article? The point isn't arguing whether or not their needs to be a change for Women in Tech- it is arguing about how we are going about it.

There is a victim blaming rut that is forcing women to make the change from the outside, and it isn't working. The change needs to happen from men on the inside in positions of power.
Plenty of what you are saying is true but

> specifically the fact that a small number of maintainers control the protocol,

Is not all that fundamental. Really the miners control the protocol and it seems that the big companies involved and the miners have enough of the destructive tactics of the blockstream guys.

> that almost all the hashing power in the system is controlled by set of individuals who could trivially collude

This isn't really true either. There are large pools, but as soon as a pool goes rogue, they will lose the mining power that makes them up and never get it back, since they don't own the machines themselves.

Fundamentally though all of this is about the big picture. Bitcoin can't replace large financial products now, but eventually some crypto-currency could. The big finance companies could get together and make their own shared ledger, which might work well for them, but there isn't much reason they couldn't achieve similar effects already.

If they create their own currency, that could be a big deal however, because they could gradually put more and more resources into it. The core issue though, is that a blockchain without mining is either not open to anyone or not secure, and without a currency attached to it, the incentives to mine are unknown to me.
and they say there's a shortage of tech workers.
They put pressure on everyone by issuing too much credit against land. Once it's available someone will take it and outbid you for a home. Then you must either join them or pay rent which is also increasing due to more people in your situation.

It's an age old trick. You flood with credit then you clean up.
Very cool! Rust has been impressing me alot these past few months.
Honest question: Is your credit bad?

Even adding in PMI, property taxes, a 30 year rate, etc, the mortgage of house should be about the same, and often less than the rent unless you just can't get a good rate. A landlord has to make money, including the costs of longterm upkeep, replacing things like the air conditioner, paying real estate agents their commission, etc.

If you can't make a 20% down payment I've seen PMI be enough to push it to a bit over what the rent would be at the house, but that certainly shouldn't take you 10-15 years to pay off and get out of PMI range.

The only thing I can figure is you have a significantly higher interest rate than people would get in the 'average credit' category

About the only places where I've ever seen this not be true is where rent control is in effect.

These statehouse bills come up regularly. Ignore them. NY has seen a half dozen "must decrypt", "must register" and "must identify" bills come and go. Some lawmaker has dinner with a low-ranking officer at some agency and come away thinking the sky is falling because of some new technology.

The reality is that these statehouse bills are normally trumped (I hate that word now) by federal legislation. Even if not, there are enough people in places like NY that understand that the courts will shred these things. So they never pass. Once the news is over, once the bill proponents have made their peaches, they are quietly disappeared.

Sometimes things have an intrinsic value, often because of some utility that they provide. Sometimes the only value is the belief that someone else will pay more for it. [1] When it's the latter there's a difference between the real value and the perceived value. This is why we use the term "correction" to describe a situation where the perceived price falls to match the "correct" price.

The future is about self-growth and self-expression? More than just followers? People don't use social media to grow themselves - we use it because it's addicting and rewards the pleasure centers for our psychological needs. That's how it is now and yesterday.

It wasn't the lack of slots and cards, it was the hardware was too magical and hacky. Basically it was over-engineered so much it couldn't evolve.

People made code that depended on those hacks and magic. If the coprocessor doesn't work the exact same way in the future then everything breaks. That's fine if it's doing something simple like displaying a big array where each byte was a pixel or RGB value because you can easily make that backward compatible. Instead it was doing things like running code between scan-lines and using 5 bits per pixel.

A new display chip would basically have to include the old chip in its entirety just to be backward compatible. All the Amiga hardware worked like this.

Family is a convenient way to push out tenants in many cities, though. Even cities with strong tenant protections often have exceptions for evicting tenants in order to allow family members to occupy the rental.
but what is it with the penchant these days to use absolutely minimalistic, flat interfaces with zero help on how to use the interface?

It's a slideshow. It is intended to be operated by the presenter (who knows the shortcuts) and for those watching it to be able to focus on the content, not the UI.

There are legitimate complaints to be made about minimalistic interfaces, but IMO this is not one. It's a situation where you want to deliberately hide the interface.

It maybe utopian or too liberal, but I'm against imprisonment for any kind of crime against wealth, be it shoplifting or securities/bank fraud on planetary scale. I think prison should be used for crimes against humanity, e.g. homicides, domestic violence, child abuse etc. Let the economic agents figure out how to protect their wealth by themselves by increasing transparency, improving risk controls, monitoring and security protection.

Say you don't want your car stolen, go and get some insurance, let insurance companies figure out how to prevent theft and find stolen cars. Let them figure out how to make stolen cars unusable. It's just an example, but I think it's doable.

If you combined this with multifactor authentication (e.g. fallback to a password for a 100% trust score), it could potentially match your change in biometrics against a diagnostics knowledge base and use any new data following to further train the diagnostics knowledge base. Of course, that would have to be opt-in with patient confidentiality as strongly defended as possible (there needs to be laws and regulations defending privacy with this model), but it would be an interesting source of data collection.

The difference I'm guessing is deep integration would be like IE and Windows in the pre lawsuit days.

Basically, OSes should come with a password manager app by default, but users can download their own to replace it which would replace the default one. Much like how you can set your default browser on desktop OSes.
I generally agree. Convenience stores in the US are in a generally lower tier in terms of both quality and selection. Even in fairly dense urban environments, you basically have 7-11, full-fledged grocery stores, and maybe some local ethnic and upscale markets. But there isn't much in the way of chain mini-grocery stores.

> over the long term, the value of houses goes up while the value of money goes down

That which cannot go on forever, won't.

> There's always a chance house prices could collapse, but that's unlikely in the UK.

The population in Britain was 58.95 million in 2000 and is currently 64.04 million.[1] In the same time house prices have risen by an average of 153%.[2] It's reasonable to subtract baseline inflation from that at 55%[3], in which you STILL end up with a 98% increase. And I'm not ignoring the silliness in London; nearly every region of the UK has seen near-doublings of house prices since 2000, with a population increase of about five percent.

Simple supply and demand dynamics are not at work here.

> It seems pretty much insane to imagine that this will always be true

Yes, it certainly does. I'm sure there was a crisis not so long ago where lots of people were betting on house prices continuing to go up for the foreseeable future which didn't end too well.

Maybe, just maybe, the problem is too many people thinking of housing as an investment?

It took an awesome amount of work to get that level of type-safety. Now that this is in place, other languages could use that infrastructure to provide type-safe bindings:

https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/develop/Source/Bind/Sp...

The */override.xml files contain directives to convert the official Khronos XML specifications into type-safe versions. All you need is a code generator for your language of choice.

If anyone is interested in trying this, I encourage you to contact the developers on github (there used to be C++ and Java code generators that have since been removed.)

>> From a statistical perspective, you are far more likely to shot or beaten up by a black man than you are through a crooked cop.

No, statistically you're more likely to be attacked by a criminal, rather than a cop. That's just because there's more criminals attacking citizens than there are cops doing so. There's so many more of them that you can pick any minority you like, claim that "you're more likely to be attacked by X minority than a cop" - and show numbers apparently supporting your claim.

Except they won't be. Because there's always going to be more criminals committing crimes than cops doing so, any way you cut the criminals' class.

Has anyone published precise technical details about what this actually does? The writeup here makes it sound like it's being pitched as a replacement for network logins or two-factor authentication, which would be an unmitigated disaster – can't rekey, client compromises are irrecoverable, etc.

There's certainly a tradition of academics without security experience pitching that concept but it'd be surprising for it to get very far at Google given how many qualified security people work there and the actual YouTube video makes it sound like this is just being pitched as an alternative phone unlock mechanism.

I don't see anything in there suggesting that it's being pitched as a replacement for either network passwords or two-factor authentication. Has anyone seen another source for anything that leaves the device or is this just a reporter jumping to conclusions?
My recommendation would be to look at the curriculum of your child's school and go along with that. If the child is typing on their own already, then just letting them see you touch type and telling them what you are doing -- rather than what the child should be doing -- is a good way to introduce the idea. Actually, that's a good way to introduce the idea regardless.

Anyway, although a child's developmental age can vary greatly from their chronological age, in general, ten seems a bit young to me for learning the skill unless the child already has a specific direct interest in touch typing or an interest in something that already has them banging on a keyboard to write.

Good luck.

You're correct that the same panel is in the Dell display, but I'm pretty sure it's made by LG, not Samsung.

I purchased one of the Dell displays for testing purposes, and unfortunately, for reasons I don't fully understand, the color on the Dell display is quite a bit worse, with non-uniform color over the display from left to right, and also variable gamma at different brightness levels. The iMac also supports finer-grained control of brightness, which you need for luminance matching. All of this makes the iMac and its display a better choice for this application.

The real reason that Rust isn't necessarily wonderful for bare metal is that a lot of the things you need to do aren't stable yet.

Binary size isn't a problem, though. A lot of the threads talking about sizes aren't doing all the stuff you need to get truly small binaries. That's because, as this stuff is on nightly, it has much worse (or no) docs, so it's easy to miss things.

Other than normal distribution assumption, there is another assumption that doesn't hold true for most time series related to human activity, nature, or scheduling. If heteroscedasticity is present, you cannot use the same standard deviation for the entire series. A more practical approach is to compute variance for each calendar period separately.

Here's an example - expected variance for the number of SWIFT payments processed during non-banking hours is 0. Transaction counter greater than 0 is an outlier.
