Content creators signing their content with a private key would be a better idea.

How would that help? Wouldn't the copier simply sign with their own key?

Maybe Google should run a timestamping service. It could be stateless: send an hash of the content, get it back timestamped and signed, then include it in the page before publishing it.
Walker does bring quite some evidence to bear, though. I think the triad of well-being (good exercise, good nutrition, good sleep) is well established, and we're well advised to make sure we get enough sleep.
I'm seeing the 10th edition for £230 and the eight edition for cheaper. Would you be able to tell whether investing in the newer edition is worth?
Oh, I wasn't expecting people to make the deduction I made.

There was a time when popups were considered malicious by nearly everyone (my mother would have seen this as suspicious during that time).

Thanks to popup blockers this feeling seems to be fading, and I see no reason whastoever to not cultivate it again.:

Perry's is a good reference book, but certainly not appropriate for research work or conceptual understanding. It is invaluable for people int the chemical industry though, and it serves as a great introduction to the many subjects which chemical engineers deal with. I used to browse it in my UG days..
I'm currently reading Don Norman's book and I'd like to add that to me it seems to be a very worthwhile read for everyone who designs things that are used by humans. And by that, I explicitly also mean GUIs, APIs, IDEs, programming languages & DSLs...

The book is very focused on what makes good design good, and only provides examples as illustrations. It's really more about applied psychology than design per se (in fact, Norman states in the preface that the original title was "The psychology of everyday things").

Edit: As an example in Software Engineering: His formalization of how humans interact with things (form a plan to reach a goal -> interact with the thing to advance toward said goal -> evaluate the outcome, rinse repeat) and the potential error sources on the way (distractions, unclear consequences, unclear affordances...) make it obvious why in many functional languages, the REPL is such a great tool.

Calm down. We all die in the long run... Want better sleep? Stop worrying and work with your hands a bit.
Same here. I got some energy from a mid-day/afternoon sleep, but after it also takes an hour to wake up completely. Going below the 8 hour sleep in a row and loosing focus. Even the weekends get messed up with less sleep.
It's pretty clear that a lot of jobs today are useless and if you've worked for enough big companies, you might have realized that big companies are extremely inefficient.
If big companies are so inefficent, why then are they able to generate so much profit from the economy?

The reason is monetary policy. The Fed constantly 'prints' new money out of thin air and injects it into the economy via a combination of 1. loans to the government and 2. open market operations.
Guess who gets the first dips into these two huge pots of newly created money?

In the case of government money (loaned by the Fed), big corporations get a huge chunk of that money pot because they get all the lucrative government contracts.
In the case of open market operations; big finance firms like Goldman Sachs and big traders with insider information are the first to get their hands into that pot.

Basically that money which is meant to 'trickle down' isn't actually doing that; instead it appears to be trickling back up to government officials who are enacting policies that benefit corporations and increased centralization of wealth.
It was actually 15 different colors. The "bright black" could have been shown as dark grey, but it didn't; it was the same as "black".

That allowed showing bright colors against a uniform black background, which otherwise wouldn't have been possible, as the "bright" flag was set for the whole colour cell and shared for both figure and background pixels.
> I don't think that's a very controversial point of view.

So why do we have these threads right here, that prompted me to write this?

> Whether emergence can explain everything

Nothing can explain "everything". What does that even mean? I refer back to my comment. You use the right tool for the job, and that is a different one depending on context and "zoom level". See my comment? As I already wrote, even if you had a "perfect" low(est) level model, of what use is it to you on a much higher level? You cannot deal with an unmanageable amount of "low level" model (the "but in theory" argument is not even a good one in theory - reminds me of "but I can in theory imagine things happening at the exact same time light years away" before relativity became way too established for anyone to dare make that kind of statement to not be laughed at). You can't use the same model for everything. Even if you had the perfect knowledge of the lowest level you'd have "emergent models" on higher levels. You can't work with quantum theory to explain chess (which, in addition, is disconnected from the actual physical chess pieces used, it could even just be electrons in a computer instead of wooden or metal or plastic chess pieces).

PS:

Using the opportunity of the follow up comment to add to my original one:

Another POV is - just another mental model, not "the ultimate explanation for everything", one model among many - is that the low(est) level just is the hardware, the silicon. When you write software you don't care about the (exchangeable, extremely variable) hardware underneath. Without it there would not be "chess" - there would be many "chesses" because the game in software would be something completely different from the game using wooden pieces. We would not see any of those high level concepts because we would drown in detail.
It is hardware linked.
What’s the benefit / key differences compared to falcon?

https://falconframework.org
Good point. The article is a bit disingenuous in calling it the "eight-hour solid sleep myth".

Matthew Walker in his book on sleep (that's referenced also in the comment you link to) points out, for example, that a lot of learning tends to happen in the latest stages of sleep. So, 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep might well be better than 6 hours + 2 hours siesta.
Ask HN: Anyone choose to get braces / aligners later in life?
I'm 21, going to be 22 soon, and going to graduate college sometime next year. I've had a 100% overbite for a while. Makes me not want to go do things or smile, so I figured I'd change it by looking into braces/aligners when I start work after graduation.

Has anyone done it at that stage in their life? How was it? Did it affect your work or social life (not that I have much of one as it is)? I'm terrified of regretting it, but I want the result more than anything.

Software Engineering

About C++: The Design and Evolution of C++ and The C++ Programming Language, both by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++. The first one is a snapshot of his philosophy during early years of C++ and is useful to understand the motivations etc. It provides insight. The second one, after the necessary introduction to the language, shows how he uses C++, or expects to be used, which is interesting in its own way.

About algorithms: Algorithm Design by Kleinberg and Tardos. This gives the much needed insight instead of maths equations, data structure implementations or a catalog of what to apply where, which are all good, but are useless without insight.

Mechanical Engineering (ME is a large field, and I will limit to these two books.)

Stephen Timoshenko's two volume Strength of Materials is a seminal work, and still relevant, on a topic that is at the core of mechanical and civil engineering.

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design deals with designing machine parts, which is in a sense an applied strength of materials topic, and the book addresses that part quite effectively, though not as comprehensively as Timoshenko's. More importantly, the book gives enough motivation and insight for the design process, without which engineers would just be "design monkeys" that use latest CAE packages.
The Missing Practical Step-By-Step Test-Driven Development with JavaScript
I'm impressed, was pretty good, it's a bit biased and leaves out some important people (i.e. Duns Scotus, Sigmund Freud) as well as some modern philosophers but that was expected. The user-experience is not very good. I also think it's a trap to think philosophy as a linear-progress and this presentation kind of enhances that view. But anyway the content is good, the presentation could be improved

By one developer you mean Yandex or that most commits are made by a couple of users? Being backed by a large company (the Russian Google apparently) that has an independent revenue stream seems like a large plus, but maybe not enough to cancel out.

I'm wary of investing effort into a potentially unsupported project as well, but I wonder if ClickHouse only seems "out there" because we're not aware of the Russian tech ecosystem (at least I'm not).

People don't seem concerned about building anything with Firebase, but Google doesn't have a good track record of changing its mind about priorities or service pricing.

You (creator of Limit Theory) should get a $300,000 job with the skills you have shown. You did not fail. You just underestimated that one person can't do the work of a 50 head game studio alone.
Unfortunately that doesn't always work. Sometimes due to pure amounts of work I have done over the day I just can't sleep when I get to bed. (Chef, so definitely working with my hands haha)
Oh, actually mentioned in the article further down. Bizarre I missed that on first read.
Errr, I’m looking for some words to answer the question, not to try to infer at an expert level by reading a large amount of detailed technical information, and I didn’t see a comparison with falcon, so no, it does not.
I guess you've heard of The Bell Curve and the related controversy (check Sam Harris podcast with Charles Murray)?

Fwiw I don't think you're necessarily wrong about intelligence but from what I remember The Gene (Siddhartha Mukherjee) does have a few passages contradicting this theory. Also by questioning the validity of IQ tests.

Could it also not be that jews are just more motivated to get in to STEM fields and perform well, for cultural reasons or otherwise?

Similarly, Malcolm Gladwell mentions a theory about why "Asians are smarter" which according to him may be related to hard and smart work leading to bigger rice harvests, and other factors (see here https://www.cs.unh.edu/~sbhatia/outliers/outliers.pdf).

While I have zero interest in the cultural implications and all the moral panics surrounding these issues, I don't think intelligence being mostly down to genetics is a proven fact. I find it gets extremely complicated very quickly.

Genes are hugely influenced by their environmental (cultural) triggers and those should not be ignored.
Nobody sleeps at the office in France, and his colleagues would find it very weird (weird but appealing, probably). Few people nap after lunch even at home, even in the south it's not a common practice anymore. It's a also quite uncommon these days to have your own office.

Seems to me like it's more likely to be Spain.

Edit: I should have guessed by the domain.
The only correct answer should be hack them. But hack them in a way that's so obvious and outrageous nobody will ever try to claim they're "good enough" or "the only way forward".
I'd love to see someone hack a major election in such a way that the election is undeniably invalid. I'm guessing make the vote count 0. That is probably the only way to get this resolved. While we can endlessly bring the hacking of machines into the light, it has yet to prove itself to be enough to change anything. Especially if some of these hacks have been around for a decade.

Matthew Walker alludes to this in his book on sleep; however, in his description it's not so much older vs younger people, it's just genetic differences that make some people sleep earlier and some later, with a fairly stable 60/40 or so distribution. Thus, the "dangerous" period (where everyone sleeps) gets reduced from 8 hours to, say, 3 hours.

Type12 – Interview software engineers in real production environments
Hiring is broken and realism in technical interviews is criminally undervalues.

The fundamental problem with the traditional technical interview process is that it is based on a chain of inference that seems reasonable but is in fact deeply flawed. That chain goes something like this:

- Writing code is hard.

- Because writing code is hard, only smart people can do it.

- Therefore we want to hire smart people.

- The best way to find smart people is to design a process that filters out dumb people.

- The best way to filter out dumb people is to ask them hard questions that we know the answer to and see if they also know (or can figure out) the answer.

Hence phone screens, whiteboard coding, coding puzzles, riddles and all the anti-hiring patters that came to light in the last 10 years.

It turns out that these make terrible predictors of the actual ability to code, and one of the most accurate way to get productive developers is to test them on problems that are closely related to their actual future day-to-day responsibilities.

Will your candidate be working on databases? Ask for stored procedures. Will your candidate work on API? Ask about API design?

We made Type12[0] to let companies go beyond riddles and brain-teasers when testing candidates but actually putting them in their day-to-day scenarios.

More technically, for each interview, Type12 creates a new (docker instance under hood) sandbox fully configured with languages (Python, JS, Ruby, Java, Scala, etc) frameworks (Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Node, Spring, etc), databases (MongoDB, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc) and other technologies (Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, etc) of your choice.

Good for you.

I was recommending NL exactly because of the 30% tax exemption for 8 (!) years for foreigners who move to NL to work in tech and other "in demand" fields, which results in a very nice after-tax salaray. Without that, you're right, NL isn't that interesting financially.
It is really not the tone of the article:

> There is a common stereotype that loneliness mainly strikes older, isolated people - and of course it can, and does. But the BBC survey found even higher levels of loneliness among younger people, and this pattern was the same in every country.

> It's tempting to conclude that something about modern life is putting young people at a higher risk of loneliness, but when we asked older people in our survey about the loneliest times in their lives, they also said it was when they were young.

> There are several reasons why younger people might feel lonelier. The years between 16 and 24 are often a time of transition where people move home, build their identities and try to find new friends.

> Meanwhile, they've not had the chance to experience loneliness as something temporary, useful even, prompting us to find new friends or rekindle old friendships - 41% of people believe that loneliness can sometimes be a positive experience.
Hey, Russian detected in HTML/JS code. Takedown notice has to be issued from skins.cash.
I got down voted into oblivion on the previous dupe of this post for saying pretty much the same thing with regard to a sunset clause. I think it is a very reasonable idea.

The argument that this goes against meritocracy only makes sense if you inherently think men are better at the role. If you think men and women are likely to be equally as good, it makes more sense that men are currently in the privileged position of getting a role that could be filled by a more qualified woman.

As an aside, on the dupe, there are 40 posts or so arguing against this move. Literally every positive post was downvoted, none with a single argument in response. There are clearly a few toxic down voters on HN, particularly when it comes to issues of male privilege.
Unlicensed spectrum is limited. There are just three channels in the 2.4 GHz, and not really more than in the 5 GHz band because most of the 5 GHz band is occupied by weather radar and you can only use that spectrum if you pay the patent trolls for the coexistence technology specified by law.

When you turn on a WiFi analyzer program and see many WiFi networks using the same spectrum, there is interference. It isn't that it "stops working" but you will get packet loss, reduced data transfer, etc. Every printer that sets up its own AP, every phone that is a hotspot, is interference.

If you want and really use these services that is one thing, but it is insane that people use WiFi to print at a mall store when they could hook up the printer to the register with a 6 foot cable.

The article itself shows a substantial degrade of WiFi performance on the Mac itself because the mac is momentarily disconnecting from the real network to stay synchronized with the lewds network.
Musk out as Tesla chair over fraud case
I write small games some times and I used Godot and Unity for 2d and 3D small projects. I find both of them very annoying to work with in the way intended. Luckily both are customizable enough to follow my own workflow (which is 95% code; I basically detest the graphical tooling; they really get in my way); I can understand why people, for whatever reason, roll their own, however, because I have no time as it is, I wouldn't attempt that now. If I would do full time game dev for a game of my own I probably would though.

OAuth flow can certainly open a popup (or new tab if that's how your browser is configured). After you login it will use a redirect but that might be hidden from the user.

Pop-up blockers don't work when the user clicks "login".
