OpenWRT is standard for routers, you can even run it on x86 just fine, and unlike PFSense it won't shit a brick and sit in a broken state at console just because a secondary ethernet interface disappears.

PFSense really is targeted at the prosumer market. If your happy to haul a screen out on every upgrade or minor hardware change, PFSense is fine. Otherwise, going Openwrt is a solid choice as you can actually debug it remotely.
Hey, this is a great thread! I am a current CS student and have noticed a similar issue with many of my classes. I think one of the biggest differences is just the generational expectation of the level of engagement from the content. Many people in my generation (millennial+) grew up with fast paced interactive content. We have come to expect more from the content we consume including a back and forth dialogue and a narrative. Don't get me wrong, I love a good old fashioned lecture, but for technical topics with no built in narrative its not the most effective way to convey a topic.

Including all these elements sounds like a lot of work. Realistically, I think you could improve your content by looking at some of the higher quality YouTube CS tutorials. Most of the instructors there pull out the most important aspects of the material they are teaching and make it more engaging.

A simple way to do this is to break the material down into the parts that are absolutely essential to understand in order to have a framework for the remainder of the material. If what you are teaching is available before and after the lectures online, you do not need to cover it all in class.

As long as you make sure the issues you know students will have questions on are addressed in class that is enough for the lecture portion of the course.

SUMMARY- Don't read lectures in class or review everything in the lesson notes. Hit the wave tops in class weaving in a narrative whenever possible. You want students to come away from the lecture remembering enough to have a framework for the topic in their head so they know where to look or have context for their questions when they come up.

Hope that helps.
Unfortunately you are simply repeating the line I set out to criticise:

>It doesn't affect the "good guys", because we value their craft more than other crafts.

I am not only wanting to criticise the individual payment processors, because I understand the risk of doing business with such things. I want to criticise the whole system in which people must rely upon several centralised services in order to get by with their craft. The fact that such things are difficult to fund is the crux of the issue here, and the point is that it's a sad state of affairs to be in that the alternative options are scarce and expensive/difficult to procure.

But the point is still lost. I will reiterate: people would much rather use their knowledge and skill for a craft than to work a minimum-wage job or even in between jobs; peoples' livelihoods are at stake, and it's disappointing to see a comment along the lines of "just use another service" or justifying the situation as simply being the way the world works. The point is that the world shouldn't work that way, and as soon as we realise that, the sooner we can put pressure in the relevant places to change it. The mere suggestion of alternatives (either in the crowdfunding platform or the payment platform) does nothing to help the people who, even if they could afford to move, would suffer a massive loss in audience and revenue.
Don't do it, this normally just doesn't work out very well. Unless you two are falling hard for each other every time you see each other, already hanging out after work and have each others contact info and talking regularly and going out on dates I wouldn't recommend it.
With SofortBanking and similar services it is becoming more common to use this to pay online. It eliminates much of the issues you mention.
It can't, it shouldn't and it definitely does not have to.

France is doing just fine in terms of research in many fields.

Those that would like France to produce an 'MIT' would also like Europe to produce the next Facebook and neither is going to happen.

But that doesn't mean things are bad, they're just different and no less valuable.
...because the new demographics are significantly generically stupider?
Yes, our Groupworld product has that. The free version doesn't.
And much less pressure to commercialize, there is a lot of fundamental and other research that is not immediately aimed at generating a cash-cow somewhere.

But it is a "fair" game. The casino isn't scamming anyone, any more than anyone selling a service is scamming someone. The odds are correct and generally posted. Just because the house makes money, doesn't mean it is a scam
Porn buyers preserve their relationships with spouses who notice the charges by denying knowledge of them. Porn transactions are thus exceptionally likely to be treated as fraud, whether or not they actually are. That’s the folk tale, anyway.
Yeah, it may well be chargebacks, not legal or moral concerns.

I live in New Orleans, which has an unusual concentration of strip clubs. I've heard people who work in them complain that to use a credit card, they require you to let them photograph your ID, make an impression or photo of your card, and have you sign a carbon copied form.

This gives some customers cold enough feet that they head out, but the reason is that people will run up a serious tab with lap dances, champagne and whatever else and then strenuously deny they ever set foot in such an establishment. I'm sure porn has the same problem.

It's pretty gross as far as I'm concerned. There's no legitimate moral distinction between falsely saying you never signed up for (random porn service) and Netflix, or saying you never got a lap dance and saying you never went to the ballet, and people acting differently causes legal businesses with avid customers real harm.
Twenty programmers on one vax and actually doing the simulations is CPU intensive. The VT240 is what our customers had (and they are expensive enough all by themselves; a single VT340 in 1991 was $3600.
Yeah, no. Gutting funding is going to make schools worse no matter what. Stop trying to blame things on immigrants.
There's always Tor (doesn't Facebook in particular run an onion service?)
It's even worse in (some parts of?) Germany. Most apartments come without a kitchen. The law says that they have to provide a sink and a stove, and they provide the cheapest stove there is and a little pedestal sink. You're expected to ask the landlord to remove these and order a kitchen, with all of the cabinets, countertops, sink, refrigerator, washing machine, and stove. When you move, you either try to take it all apart and make it fit in your new apartment, or try to sell it to the next tenant. With first month's rent, 3 months security deposit, and a kitchen, moving in to an apartment is very expensive.
He's not "blaming" anything on immigrants; he's saying the simplistic statistic presented is confounded, and is unlikely to show the direct correlation between funding and student outcomes that it purports to show.

You're required to be charitable here; it's in the site guidelines. Yours is not just an uncharitable interpretation, but a deliberately inflammatory one.
But I'm just trying to figure out if she is okay with me even trying. You can't even asking that question, though, without spilling the beans. I just have very little direct contact with her and I wish I could get more exposure to her to get a better feel for what she thinks.
It makes sense that would happen. So they just didn't have the contact info for the people here? Maybe they just were spending a little, but their whole business still depended on it.
Oh yeah, we also take our vacations at the same time. Construction 'break'.

There are Finland-sized entities within the USA that also do this. For example Los Angeles County, twice as large as Finland.

When you are pondering the question of why all USA is not as integrated as Finland, ask yourself also why Finland is not tightly integrated with Croatia. It is the same reason.

(I've been swing dancing 13 years, playing swing music for 6)

This article is very thorough and gets across the nuance and futility of trying to define "swing" with only a few rules. See especially the section on swung eighth notes:

> Swung-eighths. This is where it gets cool and tricky, and if you want to swing like crazy, you have to understand this one. When you swing the eighth notes, it means that you take a triplet, and you skip the middle sound. Essentially what you end up with is 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a [side note, as a way to emphasize the beginning of the phrase, you’ll sometimes hear 1 2 a3 4 a5 6 a7 8 a]. This rhythm is common in Gypsy Jazz or Jazz Manouche and is sometimes referred to as a shuffle. This, you may note is a 2:1 ratio. Much swing music is actually played closer to a 3:2 ratio, which is less displaced, but again there isn’t a great way to notate this, so it’s more understood than proscribed. (The original has strikethrough formatting which has been lost in copy/paste)

To make it even more confusing, often rhythm players (guitar, drums, etc) will keep the swing ratio consistent (across a song, or across a phrase) whereas melody players (trumpet, sax, etc) might play with the ratio within a melodic phrase.

Another thing that makes swing swing is syncopation — the author alludes to this but doesn't define it — namely placing emphasis on the swung eighth notes that lie between quarter notes, rather than on one of the quarter note beats. Straight vs swung, and syncopated vs non-syncopated can exist independently, and you need swung and syncopated for it to feel like swing.
Oh wow. At first with the way he was thrashing around I thought he was some kind of idiot. But the fact that he didn't die makes me think maybe he's actually some kind of driving god.
Translating this to computer science/programming: what would you call an unproven program?

Recommending music on Spotify with deep learning – Sander Dieleman
Bill Bryson wrote a hilarious--but acerbic--book about exactly this: The Lost Continent .

http://a.co/121JpWz

He was in a Chevette, not a Fiesta, and the hotels were off-brand but it's the same idea. A typical passage:

Afterwards I retired with a six-pack to my motel,
where I discovered that the bed, judging by its
fragrance and shape, had only recently been vacated by a
horse. It had a sag in it so severe that I could only
see the TV at its foot by splaying my legs to their
widest extremity. It was like lying in a wheel-barrow.
Ask HN: Laid off after 2 months. What exactly should I be doing?
I'm a guy with very little experience, CS degree, currently living in Texas, and was laid off by another company before this.

I found a job after a long job search. I cancelled my other job offer, spent all my savings ($2k on rent, flight, AirBnB, etc), and moved across the country to work here in a sort of suburban city with no way to get around. I was planning on saving up money and building up my life here.

After 2 months, I was laid off. I have no car, no insurance, practically no money, etc. It costs $50 round trip just to Uber into downtown, so I end up holed in my apartment. Not to mention the cost to go to meetups and on-site interviews (yeah, no one has once offered to pay). I've been searching for about 4 months. I've made it to several on-sites, but never got an offer and don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong. Like one company would say I passed, then ghost me after the on-site, or they said I did good then decided to go with an internal candidate.

I signed a year long lease. It will cost $7k to break. If I somehow get a job offer from another state, what kind of company will even help with that? Like I said, I have trouble even getting companies to pay for interviews.

Regarding my health. I'm totally depressed and have developed heart problems. It's impossible to function doing anything. I also tried my best when I was working, and would even try to code all night and on weekends. Now I have to see all my energy go to waste and have to restart from step 1 again.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Prop 13, mentioned in the article, correlates with the sharp turn of California's public schools from the among the best to among the worst.

I'm sure there's numerous factors that contribute, but this is core. And repealing this bad law would have numerous other positive effects on crucial issues like affordable housing and sprawl, because it would cut down on idle land speculation which drives up real estate prices in prime locations.

Based on comments to previous HN links on this topic, I expect we will be seeing some whataboutism that tries to divert criticism of China.

So let ask anyone who makes such a comment, what is your political philosophy, are you for liberal democracy or Xi's brand of authoritarianism, or are you just a cynic who thinks all reform efforts are hopeless, or what?

This study is confounded and made unnecessarily complicated by using Snapchat. The experimental design should have been to instruct participants that during two (of the three) sessions they will be required to take a photo of each painting using the native camera app; and photos from one of the sessions will be available for reference during the test.
Wow. When I worked for a couple of months in Columbus, Hot Chicken Takeover was the most popular restaurant in town (that's not an exaggeration). They sold out of their chicken every single day. I had no idea it also had this social component. Great stuff.
A little OT, but I think I remember reading Chinese users on quora who were a little worried about how Microsoft would handle takedown notices for sensitive topics as gitHub was pretty resistant to China's complaints.
Since you are at work it could go south pretty quick if she does not feel the same way or even knows about you it can get very awkward and weird for both of you quick. Less career and emotional risk to search outside of work and treat everyone at work as your work brothers and sisters.
I took this course in 2012:

http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/three-day-rdbms/

Probably the best course I've ever taken, on any subject -- though this one happens to be on relational databases! The model of: 15 minutes lecture, 15 minutes in-class exercises, and 15-minutes review of student (and, if needed, "correct" solutions) worked really well.

Might be able to incorporate some ideas into what you do.
I did that a few times (buying bitcoin) and got my bank account suspended. I was told the other party was suspected of perpetrating fraud, and if I wanted to complete the transaction I'd need to do it in person in a branch.

Getting your bank account suspended is much more painful than a credit card.

As a result, I'm not very interested in executing transactions with random entities out of my bank account.
Is it only me or does it seem if you are not a "famous" person that has a lot of public visibility and is able to create pressure through a tweet or blog post you are lost, no number to call, no mail to write. Over the years I saw a lot of similar stories, youtube or in general "google accounts" blocked for no clear reason and no way to contact somebody to solve the issue... kinda scary...

Misuse of Tylenol (acetaminophen) can cause severe harm. Doesn't mean it's addictive.
True. I was assuming programing experience but no data structure and algorithms. I can attest that a lot of people in my ML class couldn't program and they sucked at the assignments we had.
The flip side though is that the business minded artists often produce the most banal work. James Patterson has made 700 million dollars over a decade from his writing and cowriting. His books dominate the shelves, but as art they barely rise to pulp status. Yet his latest novel is cowritten with ex-president Bill Clinton.

He's created value, of course. But what he does isn't art, its mass production of kitsch on an industrial scale.
The interesting thing is Yann LeCun’s involvement.
I've gotta whole heartily disagree. I've never encountered this on GCE. I run a DevOps consulting company and for standard EC2/machines I much prefer GCP. It's not even close. AWS for the most part lacks any or little user experience testing on UI's and developer interfaces. AWS region specific resources are a nightmare, billing on GCP with sustained use and custom machine types is vastly superior. Disks are much easier to grok, no provisioned IOPS, EBS optimized, enhanced networking hoopla.

By chance are you located out of the United States? These are not downtime issues, but anti-fraud prevention and finance issues.
I'd avoid using this. This is a format that's lossy re: text, so text and numbers can get silently rewritten; it reuses a letter image, placing it throughout a page wherever it's recognized. A low resolution scan or bad ocr results in silently corrupted text.
> And pfSense was playing with licences before, some think it's getting ready to do it again.

FUD much? 'some' might think, but I know, and we're not.
Depends what jobs you're applying to. But I've seen it first hand traditional HR doesn't know how to filter for ML resumes.
This is the problem with being excessively metrics-driven. They have a fraud problem, and there's some low-dollar customer that their algorithm determines is say a 20% chance of fraud. They know that 80% of the non-fradulent people will just upload their ID or whatever immediately, and they shut down all the fraud right away. Their fraud metrics look great, and the 20% of customers that had a problem have low CLV so who cares? It's not worth the CSR to sort it out, and anyhow, the CSR could just get socially engineered. The problem is that the 20% are going to talk to other people about their nightmare experiences.

It may not be expensive to Google to lose the business, but it's very expensive for the customer. Google's offering is now non-competitive if you aren't doing things at enterprise scale. Of course many of Google's best clients will start out as small ones. The metrics won't capture the long-term repetitional damage that's being done by these policies.

That could easily just be the blockchain itself, by specifying the time in terms of number of blocks.

That can be done by having the money first be sent to an escrow where sender could retrieve money with a special key.

Almost certainly you mean the smallest number (= positive integer), no? (One doesn't automatically expect that the existence of some positive integer satisfying a property means that there is a largest such.)

Okay, I think I understand more, you are saying you can run Cleargraph locally, and have things proxy to it rather than anybody else's server. Good, glad to hear that!!!

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of Signal's approach with the enclave and stuff. People wanting to have their phone numbers in the system is fine, but it certainly shouldn't be necessary (I don't assume it is, for you use?), and the system definitely shouldn't build on top of that assumption. Could you back up a little bit and explain how ENS and contact names are related to GraphQL queries?
The DMA issue was only a factor for the disk drive. While the PCjr graphics memory was shared with the main CPU memory, the Tandy graphics memory was separate in the same way that the EGA graphics memory was separate---it was never used for program code.

In fact, the Tandy graphics was probably more compatible with the normal PC graphics than with the PCjr graphics. Yes, you could still access CGA graphics on the PCjr via $B800:0000 but the graphics chip rerouted the accesses to low memory were it was actually stored.

But to use the 320x200x16 graphics mode (PCjr and Tandy supported this, CGA did not) on the PCjr, you needed to not only set the mode, but know the physical address (which could be anywhere in the lower 128K of RAM). When I wrote programs that used this mode, I had to use a custom MS-DOS configuration that set aside a block of low RAM for this mode. On this Tandy, you could avoid this and use the RAM set aside for graphics (starting at $A000:0000 if I recall correctly).
Finitism sounds like a good idea actually because Mathematicians have a terribly bad habit of playing with infinity when they could be doing real work :)
