I think you're confusing using a library you've already been using (in which case I agree) and introducing a new library.

Most people engaging in NIH aren't removing a library that is already being used in your build process. They're deciding it's easier to implement URL processing (spoilers: it's not) than to use a library that already exists.

The exception to that is when the existing library turns out to be a dumpster fire and you rip it out and replace it with something else or a custom version.
Not to diminish their contributions to better surgery, it's fair to recognise there is a long history of plastic surgery before DoD.

Assuming there's a real case where you want a backup, i.e. you fear physical damage, but don't fear lost/stolen.

For consumers, I believe that the distinction between broken vs lost/stolen is very hard to explain. Think also to a company where you deploy security devices. An employee suddenly needs a backup device. Helpdesk should investigate if it was broken, or lost. It's simply a mess.

For a possible solution, I think there should be a protocol where a user can export the key, encrypted for a backup device.

At a high level: 1) insert the backup device and start the backup process, this export a public key, proof of possession of the corresponding private key, attestation certificate 2) insert the primary device, export the key: upon validating attestation and proof of possession, encrypts the key for the backup device and export the blob, 3) re-insert the backup device to receive the key, decrypt, store and use it. Since this moment on, the device should clearly look as a backup, for example the led could be red instead of blue (see, for example, how MetaMask displays imported keys).

I don't think the protocol is really important here, I think what's really important is that: 1) the user should be the one creating the backup device, if he's knowledgeable enough and understands the risks and uses, and 2) most importantly, there shouldn't be a way to flash a security device with untrusted code.

I'd be curious to hear what people think about this, would backup be useful to you? We're working on the new gen of u2fzero (https://solokeys.com), and this could be a nice feature to add if people feel it's needed.
Yes. They achieve those restrictions by holding up the mouse by the tail so only the front legs are on the floor of the cage.

Anecdote: Had a (caucasian) friend who spent a four-month co-op term as a student in India, and when they came back they also had to insist to the local Indian restaurants "yes, I want it extra spicy, like you would serve to an Indian person".

(Like, I realize this is frustrating, but how is the waiter going to know -- from your appearance -- that you spent four months eating Indian food in India?)
Thank you for the support! Being a strict vegetarian myself I understand the concern. We operate out of a shared kitchen space, so other clients in the space make a variety of dishes which include meat, wheat, and nuts. We use our own kitchen utensils, dishes, pots/pans, etc to avoid contamination as much as possible. Maybe one day we can share a video of a "day in the life" of our kitchen staff to show you, but rest assured that we take it very seriously to not cross-contaminate :) Per FDA regulations, we must include that information on our packaging.

Dutch master's are all English for a while now. You don't get the same subsidies as EU residents, though, but it's also no more expensive than this online business and you get to have an actual classroom (for many that's a plus).

GA Tech does admit some students to the Masters programs who don't have bachelor degrees. The Micro Masters programs at edX may be a way in to the MSCS programs without the undergrad step. One benefit of the MM programs is that they're basically open access. You do what is essentially 1/4 of the degree online first, and if you do well you may be admitted to either the residential Masters program or the online program. Disclosure: I work at edX.

New Zealand is a very wealth country by most metrics. It can definitely afford these things.

When I say "it" I mean: the people of New Zealand can afford to redistribute some of their wealth so the country can avoid the worst types of poverty, and probably a whole lot more.

Blind is actually a cool, if at times strange, place. I've posted legitimate requests for advice on here, Reddit, and Blind, and the quality of responses were overwhelmingly in Blind's favor. Blind actually gave me real, if not blunt/brief, feedback about what I could/should do for various situations I've been in. Here and Reddit? The same tired old platitudes from well-meaning people that make them feel like they're helping and making a difference, but are in reality providing highly generic advice that could apply to just about anyone at most skill levels and just showed that those who did respond skimmed the title and nothing else.

Of course, there are in-jokes, people who take those in-jokes deathly serious, people with mental instability (though that poster is actually taking a break after receiving feedback, fortunately for them), people who lean waaay too hard in one political direction or another, and other unsavory people and topics. However, this atmosphere allows for some brutally honest questions that would normally get shadowbanned/shoved somewhere else/otherwise manipulated by others or people in discussion board positions of power. There have been a few interesting relationship threads, a really good AMA about someone who works in Japan (I wonder if it's Patrick McKenzie, the posts in the thread were REALLY informative to the detail he's gone into before. I've forwarded stuff he's written before to people I know who want to dream about working over there), salary numbers, advice for H1Bs, people going through rough times at work without having to reveal who they are without jackassing around with a throwaway yet still having an identifiable company attached to their username, and so on.

Dunno how long Blind will last for, but if you download the app and find you really don't like the cons, just don't use it every waking moment.
What makes you think that a 600 level course at a top 10 CS program is equivalent to a 100 level course at a "serious" CS program?

(I graduated from GT but didn't take the undergrad version of intro infosec, which is 400 level and is likely crosslisted with the on campus 6035. I also don't think infosec was the most rigorous of courses from what I heard, but still)
Foresters do and they would really be insulted if you made their main tool set look 'pretty' just for the sake of it. It's a tool, it needs to be reliable, powerful, easy to service and safe.

I understand your concern, and we're very careful to not cross-contaminate. All of our products are vegan and the only dishes that are NOT gluten-free are khichdi, upma, and our rices. We use our own kitchen appliances and actually cook the gluten-free and non-gluten-free dishes on separate days to ensure that we're being careful. You're right, these are great for trips!
They don't look at their chainsaws all day, they look at the trees they are chopping down. I don't look at the keyboard I'm typing on all day, I look at the editor/code.
> Warning customers that your food is spicy is one thing. Refusing to accept that your culture isn't the only one on the planet that enjoys spicy food is something else entirely.

When I was waiting in a Thai restaurant (in Australia) I too started do the "are you really sure" thing after a couple of customers ordered the hottest dishes on the menu, then complained they couldn't eat them and wanted a refund.

People would often ask for a "mild" version of, say, Tom Yum soup, which is not really possible without thinning it down with water and losing all the flavour.
Yes, definitely! There is a lot of testing that goes into each recipe before we turn it into a product.

No, I mean specifically fructose, no matter what the source (sugar, honey, agave, HFCS, natural fruit that has been turned into pulp or frozen, etc.)

Regarding your tangential point, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM. I used to be quite the Atkins dieter, and I didn't gain any weight when I started eating _some_ non-fructose carbs. Thanks to the fact that weight tends to correlate with age, I look a lot younger than most people think I am. (I've been doing this for nine years...)
Pleas excuse my rather explosive comment, but:

Looks like I misremembered this (re 64bit integers) and it was one of the other slightly odd limitations SQLite has around rowids and foreign keys that caused me to abandon the last system I was designing with it...

As for what most concerned me most when using SQLite was the ease of which it would happily allow me to make broken queries and not raise a fuss, e.g. referencing non-GROUP BYed terms in an aggregation.
Yes! We are also working on all-organic ingredients.
How US and China tech will thrive through connection, not competition (SCMP))
The "where is this child" query is unaffected by the ordering, whether Z-order, Hilbert, or other. However querying "which children are in this area" requires that you come up with corresponding ranges along the curve. This is where the Hilbert curve is slightly better because in many cases the same area can be covered by fewer ranges.

Follow up questions: How do the number of ranges compare with the different orderings? How much does having fewer range segments affect database query performance? Does it make up for the added computational complexity of Hilbert curves? I've not answers, but these can be answered by science.

This has been my experience. Most posts I see criticize a team, product, or person (usually an executive) — and it's often clear they have very little context / criticism is usually directed from one part of the org to another.

I suppose I forgot how spread out the US is. Europe is just as spread out, but they have a decent train network. I'm from Australia, and our cities are a lot more centralised, that everything is either within 100km, or greater than about 500km. Well, except for a couple of cities on the east coast, most notably Sydney to Newcastle. Where I am though, there's basically not major centres in that mid region.
Not sure if it'll help but you might try the emacs package "Deft" w/org mode. I use Deft as a table of contents over a searchable directory of .org files and it works well for my purposes.
I finished undergrad this year (small liberal arts college), and all my classes beyond the CS101 equivalent used git. But the deepest we got into git in lecture, even in a software engineering class, was add + commit + push and hence most of us saw it as nothing more than a homework submission CLI. Most of our assignments were pair-programmed though, so we didn't often need git to be more than that.
Ask HN: Canadian, physics degree, in aviation, want to move to tech in US, how?
Basically the title. I'm 27 and am not in a relevant field. The job is great, but I just want to be part of more important things.

If I change my time horizon to, say, 3 years, is it possible for me to get sponsored to get a job in tech in the US? I have a bit of relevant experience in Python from computational physics courses and labs (lots of work with numpy and scipy).

My plan:
- Finish cs50, (currently week 4)
- Finish freecodecamp (currently done most of JS)
- Then from there I have a huge list of courses and am unsure of what to focus on. E.g. cs50x for react native, cs193p from stanford, leetcode projects, project euler (I have about 20 done), I've found a bunch of courses on MIT OCW for algorithms and data structures.
Writing it out now, it seems a bit scattered as I'm not sure what exactly I would need to get a position as a data scientist or software developer at say, Google.
Yeah, but from a place of power where they can unify and message correctly, not one from the places where people are being oppressed. When the prevailing message isn’t “oh gosh this is horrible” but “that other person got what they deserved” you’re not going to change people’s mind.

Now Windows just needs to ship with a decent pager. :-)

Programmatic access to scroll back is useful for a few things. For example, back when I was on Windows Phone, I wrote a compiler wrapper that would scroll back to the first error message.

It'd be nice for the POSIX terminal world to standardize on similar scrollback access. I know the zsh people would love it.
Can you show even $1 in gains by Musk?

The tweet quite clearly cost Musk tremendously. Two bad words without any profit motive, I doubt extremely this leads to a conviction, but speculation is cheap!
Is this just a very smart optimizer that can reduce

to

x2=x+x

x8=x4+x4
tot=x+x2+x4+x8

or I am missing something?

Note that the first code is O(N=15) and the second one is O(log(N)=4).

Really, you are putting way too much effort into this argument. I learned how to program on 40x25 and consider what I have today an incredible luxury, if you want you can customize Leo to look better but to me it isn't worth the time, I would rather spend that time on my work.
Appreciate the feedback! It's on our to-do list :)
It seems to me that the officially "bullshit" sentences are basically meaningless, rather than false. You can disagree about statements about how rivers wear things away; you can't really disagree with the bullshit sentences because they don't actually mean anything.
It's my observation that a master's is often a "second field of study" after getting a bachelor's. Whether that should be or not is debatable. But I know people in the field of infosec that have less experience than this, so if someone really gross the content of these courses, I'd hire them.

It is unlikely for btc to stay at any price. I can also bet on volatility!

Laundrying is a good usecase, but only because its not being persecuted today. The day the SEC lands some people in jail, or intervenes tether, even that path will get closed out. BTC is not great for laundrying because of btc, but because of slow gov action. It leaves massive papertrails.

Once that usecase goes down, you need to create enough value to justify the salaries and infrastructure investment of all miners, plus the electricity they use. You need to generate the millions of dollars in value, and today, i dont see applications for it, not even wealth transfers. Maybe some storage, but not worth paying so much for, unless they are illegal.
> Parisian culture leans toward leisurely café sipping, which means there aren't a lot of Starbucks-type places where one can stop quickly to pee and grab a drink or snack.

Wait, what?

There are restrooms in every single café in my (northern Parisian) neighbourhood. If you are sipping café there, or buying it to go, then you are a customer and are allowed access to the restroom.

I have no idea what 'renting a table for an hour' means in relation to going to a café, but your view of how life in Paris works seems very seriously off.

It might just be me, though -- I am unable to understand how other grown adults in this thread (not parent comment, other posts) can think that they are entitled to bladder release for free outside of their homes.
For comparison I briefly took online masters classes from my alma mater, a state school that is not especially heard about often, and it was approximately $2000 per class.
The stock jumped up enormously afterwards, and even if that wasn't Musk's goal it was pretty predictable that it would.

Not gaining from it is no excuse for doing something illegal (and stupid to boot).
For me, the most surprising thing is that the new PTY devices use UTF-8. Not UTF-16 or UCS-2 or weird little endian variants thereof, and not even wchar_t.

This is so un-Windows-like.

"How is the idea of "outdoor time" used for myopia control?

One of the big surprises of recent research is the importance of how increased time spent outdoors helps in preventing myopia. At the present time it appears that 14 hours a week or more outdoors are significantly effective in reducing myopia progression."

The gains after the tweet were gone within a minute. The stock was up enormously before the tweet was even made.

If anything the stock is down from the whole affair.

Is it illegal for Musk to tweet something false on Twitter? I don’t think so. On April 1 he tweeted the company was bankrupt!

Keep in perspective this is two words in one tweet. When people asked questions did Tesla follow up with lies and stonewalling or more information?

These are all factors which you might consider before throwing someone in jail or telling them they can’t work at the company they built.
