Ask HN: How Would a Hacker Think About This?
I wrote a novel.

I have made the 'Myth Framework' to which the novel belongs, licensed as CC BY (basically open source) so other writers, if interested, can create a commercial work based on it's mythology.

One day, I would like writers (if any) who have modeled their story on some element of this Myth Framework to be able to have their works connected. (Maybe by some blockchain-like tech?)

My question right now does not pertain to the software-side of this problem, but rather, what items to include on a page in each book that basically points a unique work to its mythological 'family-tree.'

As of now, I have a page at the beginning of my story that has basically three elements to do this:

1. the symbol of the Myth Framework

2. the story

3. the URL where one can learn about the structure, plot, setting, journey-outline, etc. of the Myth

What items, for appeal, logic, or whatever, would you consider adding to this list?

Thanks for taking the time to read this
Yep! The video explains why at the end. These models are often very GC-unfriendly unless you know what you're going & have reasonably good hooks into the GC. Jane Street talks about this aspect here too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6a5G5i4gQU
Could tweet Trump and ask him to remove the deadweight.
I actually found that using special directory for notes and git and grep is actually convenient. The only thing I'm missing is fuzzy search features of grep, like build on word2vec models.
YouTube, No. 2, was still running Python 2.7 as of last year. Python and Ruby are basically the same performance wise.

Instagram is also a Python app, AFAIK. Last year they contributed some memory efficiency improvements to CPython.

Shopify is likely the largest RoR site at 80k requests per second but since it's served as tons of different domains it doesn't really count.
Yeah, I thought real kick comes from the high sugar content. I used to consume a lot of sugar, but over time I kind of laid off of sugar. Recently, I drank one monster can. Holy shit - I was buzzed and exhausted after.
That's why you check the signature to make sure it's the right one. It's almost always listed on the developer's web site, plus you can often google the signature to see if it's one other people are using as well.
You're making it sound pretty difficut. Just tell them to type chrome.com into address bar. Redirects to Chrome download site on Firefox. Many lay people will actually try this on their own since they assume (term).com will often work. A dangerous assumption but wouldve worked here.

So, we just spread the word to use the actual URL when possible (been doing that) instead of search and that chrome.com works for Chrome.
Their audience doesn't grow because of this, it gets funneled into places like this where their true colours are on total display. Nobody gets converted to a xenophobic racist because they hear PayPal banned some crappy site

That being said, this kind of stuff is growing, but it's not because of some hand wavey "deplatforming" issue. It's because wages are stagnating people are being locked out of a future they want. Then some very powerful voices, often those benefiting from this very thing, turn around and tell them it's because of the Jews or the Mexicans or some other minority.

But that won't stop because it doesn't make economic sense. And you can't tell anyone this because your platform is built on it. So you have to keep spreading this toxicity and division even though it's killing the country. Because it's good for your side.

Then you combine this with the deep rooted racial issues that have been swept under the rug for the last 60 years with the current social changes plua external countries that would profit from division in America, and oh boy, you've got yourself some strong punch.

You're watching America eat itself in real time on platforms like this.
I know of non-technical users using PCs that came with win2k at that time so there was some level of win2k usage in intended for consumer machines, though maybe this was after ME acquired a bad reputation.

Why "although"?
> What's so great about being a public company in the first place?

Access to capital and liquidity for insiders. The spate of unicorns shows that not everybody needs to be public for the former, but I’m not sure about the latter — is there a reasonable secondary market for slack or uber common shareholders? I doubt it...but I don’t doubt the big banks are stepping up to make it worth the execs’ time to do these huge private deals.

Note that if you have enough shareholders (like a lot of employees holding small amounts equity) you’re essentially “public” as far as the SEC is concerned, you just may not be listed.
Then again, Google's public statements might not be the best information source to check whether Google did something nefarious or not.
AFAIK Heap uses Citus but also has an internal partitioning scheduler for their customer event data so I don't think that they're a good example. Timescale doesn't support scaling out yet but it's in their roadmap so let's wait for them to implement for a fair conclusion.

If you're going to create roll-up tables and power your dashboard using those tables, you're fine with both options IMO. Cloudflare was also using Citus exactly for this use-case before they switched to Clickhouse.

If you have ad-hoc use-cases for time-series data, Timescale might be a better option because it's built exactly for this use-case and it knows the semantics of the data so it can partition the data in an optimized way and perform some optimizations such as parallelized operations and re-sizing chunks. In that sense, it's comparable to Influxdb, not Citus.
Shipping from Japan is usually expensive. It's a niche product, but likely not many others. Doing the research yourself to find the products will eat up the savings if you value your time.

That's the nice thing about global markets: OP just needs a thousand customers a month = $30k/month gross. Maybe half that goes to shipping. If you can get each of those products for $1-$2 each in bulk, you're doing okay.

Some product might be free, highly-subsidized or he gets paid because the manufacturer wants to build an overseas market.
IMHO it’s righteous indignation. Over politics, society, parking spaces...
This is wrong. GitHub is still a large Rails app. See presentations by the core Rails team people who work there like Eileen Uchitelle and Aaron Patterson.
People with equity get rich when it goes public most of the time. The company also gets at lot of outside investment they can use to compete. Some go private again later, too.

Ozark is a 2017 TV show while the article is dated to 2009.
FT methods are different from Fourier-spectral methods which typically have periodic BC requirements. That was not what my question was about.

The method in the paper exactly represents the solution as a Fourier-type integral which must be computed numerically. The error in the quadrature rule is the sole source of pricing error.

I guess whether the extra computational cost in computing those integrals exactly with the method the author used would carry a corresponding financial cost.

Here's a pattern: since your Service Workers won't run the first time a user visits a page, you should send server-side rendered content to the user that also has a line that installs a Service Worker after the page is fully loaded from base HTML with useful data.

The second time the user visits your page, the Service Worker will ideally be installed and will run, intercept the call and download your components separately, when they're needed, and save them on cache, as opposed to let the server render the components to base HTML.

Third time forwards, components are loaded directly from cache and rendered by the Service Workers.
I wonder if this could be associated with the fall of long-term emoloynent rewards, willingness to train on the behalf of employers, and the decrease of benefits like pensions. Such systematic changes tend to reward behavior that only benefits the self.

That's what systemd does. For instance, the article uses a couple of asserts in dhcp6_option_parse_domainname(). By the time that function is getting called, the values should have already been validated, and the asserts (which are at the very top of the function) are asserting that the validation code did the right thing.
You could do that without explicit years if you had a base 12 system.
Illinois uses a scantron-like system that allows for write-ins: http://ligaya.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Illinois-Ballot....

These aren't "conservatives". Conservatives aren't racists and anti-Semites.
BBC BASIC was pretty advanced but most people’s exposure to it was in schools so if kids wrote anything, it was usually using a common syntax that they’d learned on their Sinclair, Commedore or whatever (BBC Mircos weren’t cheap from what I recall).

So I think while the FN / FUNC approach was arguably better, I’d be surprised if it was more commonly used than GOTO or GOSUB. But who knows, maybe your circle of friends did things differently?
Starting a company requires lots of money up-front, which poor people don't have anyways.

Investing in a high risk startup could theoretically be done for like $100 to buy .0001% if regulations encouraged this sort of thing.

It's the ease of access to things people don't understand and could lose all their money on that these regulations are meant to combat. I feel like your argument is very "assume spherical cow", but I take a more pragmatic "this is what would probably happen 99% of the time" approach to this.
The world seems like a very binary and black-and-white place for RMS. Everything non-free + proprietary == bad, whereas the opposite == good.

Is reality really so neatly categorized into binary outcomes with no shades of gray, though?

It says “open source” in the title, but I’m not sure if the OP might make an exception for Pages since it comes with macOS and macOS itself isn’t free software.
This is assuming generational knowledge can be sufficently passed down to be useful in future missions. I'd assume this is quite a niche/specialized skillset they developed for this particular machine. The utility of the knowledge has a limited timeframe which may not justify education of the next generation of scientists.

But regardless recording it would likely be helpful as most problems in engineerings seem to recur over time in different and new contexts.
The HN FAQ says that workarounds for paywalls are OK:

Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

Obviously, outline.com wouldn't work unless WSJ explicitly allows them to bypass its paywall. (I have no idea why WSJ does this.) If it's OK with WSJ, I don't see why people should have ethical problems with it.
Oh, I forgot, if you take $100 from the government for food, you're a no-good leech, but if you take $100,000,000 from the government, you're a job creator and a pillar of the economy.

The rich don't get handouts when they fail, they get handouts the entire time they're succeeding. They pay 15% on capital gains while the rest of us pay 30% on income.

They'll pass a special tax cut for your one specific company. You can pay your workers the min wage, but not the living wage, and let everyone else (in the form of benefits) pick up the slack.

You can even get a handout for promising to create jobs or do stuff, and then never actually do it, or if you do 20% of it, blame the failure to deliver the complete promise on something hand-wavy.

But yeah the poor are the problem.

(snip)

In a series of 11 experiments involving more than 2,200 people of all ages, the researchers found they could reliably identify narcissistic people by asking them this exact question (including the note):

To what extent do you agree with this statement: “I am a narcissist.” (Note: The word “narcissist” means egotistical, self-focused, and vain.)

Participants rated themselves on a scale of one (not very true of me) to seven (very true of me).

(snip)

Results showed that people’s answer to this question lined up very closely with several other validated measures of narcissism, including the widely used Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI).
Author says: "The good news is, the labels look beautiful and are basically irreplicable — good luck to anyone who tries to knock off my branding."

But that sounds like a challenge.
China is interesting from this respect, there are so many people, and it is in the government's best interest to keep the citizens employed and happy and therefore there is a lot of "useless" jobs like the one you mention. The first time I visited I was shocked at the number of people employed to man the tollbooths and the number of people working in every restaurant until I realized why.
It's the lizard people isn't it ?
This article explores a lot of things bundled together. One morsel to take away is the bit about inbound data validation.

Type systems needs to work statically as well as at runtime via some kind of reflection API. This way you can unmarshal the data that comes over the wire directly into your language's type system. With JavaScript+TypeScript/Flow, the static type system and the dynamic reflection system is split into two separate paradigms, which in my opinion makes things rather complicated to the point of sacrificing developer productivity.
interesting thought, or to provide a shared 'community-driven' extension/plugin where people can tag items as clickbait etc. the only issue is taking care of bots or bad actors tagging inappropriately/incorrectly/trolling.

having a long debate out this I am confident a good group of minds can come up with a more solid solution...

to finish, the plugin would auto-hide specific parts of web pages that were marked as clickbait or otherwise
Based on the "wait for all candidates to have loaded" description, I had a thought that no one else seems to have had yet, and you may be able to confirm it as a possibility: Do the names ever shift around?

The thought is, lets say there's 3 candidates, Alex, Becky, and Carl, and they're supposed to show in that order. But due to the slow loading time, you first see Becky and Carl, then Alex loads in a moment later and the other two shift down.

Since you've described the straight party selection as a separate button/option, the thought I had was, what if picking that is supposed to choose Becky, so Option 2. But if you hit it too soon, you've selected Becky as Option 1. And then Alex loads in and Becky becomes Option 2, but the vote didn't shift - it's still on Option 1.

Does that sound like a possibility, with your experience with these machines?
Article declares that "What you should do instead is parse data the same way as if you were writing code in JavaScript," followed by "pointer arithmetic is wrong" (paraphrasing). That seems a bit extreme...

I'm wondering what would happen to the options that a private company gave to its employees if the company decided to go ICO instead of IPO? Or if they decided to create a coin of their own.
When it comes to source code, yes. Are you able to view the entirety of the code running the systems that control your information and operations? The answer to that question cannot be a shade of gray.

RMS has been proven more correct with each year that passes. More and more of the technologists responsible for our most significant innovations have expressed concerns about the control that large firms have gained over their users. This control is only possible through "non-free" source code, and is a guaranteed consequence when we allow the practice of distributing closed-source systems.

To be blunt, beauty of the label or even branding is in the eyes of the beholder. Whatever segment she's going for, there are infinite ways to tweak and target more specific niches.
Gab may have a large number of alt-right conspiracy nuts, but they also have a lot of users who rightfully mock those nutty people. It really is a platform for pure free speech. Unfortunately, its polarization was inevitable as Twitter and Reddit started cracking down on far-right users, leaving only pure free speech websites left for the crazies. But suggesting the website itself condones violence or sympathizes with neo-Nazis isn't accurate.

Per tptacek's comments, the founder does appear to be an asshole, but that doesn't make him a neo-Nazi.

FWIW Google also returns malicious chrome ads. My father had a brand new laptop and the first thing he did was to google chrome. He got a bunch or malware by clicking on the first link.
> Why would Microsoft do this?

Because Google Chrome is a greater threat to them than Firefox, so promoting Firefox helps them even if it hurts Edge, as long as it also hurts Chrome.

Also because if they preload Firefox with Bing as the default search engine then Firefox users may leave it that way.
I don't understand what you're trying to claim. Are you suggesting the owners of Gab are anti-Semitic?
Fortnite is even more so susceptible to sudden death.

Genres like RTS, MOBA, Space Warfare, RPGs bring gamers that do not care for trends.

The shooter genre however, is very trend focussed. Users jump to the next shiny thing ever few months and even the best games (battlefield 4) have much shorter shelf lives than in other genres.

Thank fully I don't quite a another trend setting free-to-play game in the release pipeline in the near future. Fortnite has survived RDR2 and Spiderman, so they have that going for them.

One thing you want is some equivalent of the "Foundations" course described at https://www.quantstart.com/articles/How-to-Learn-Advanced-Ma...

You want to make your way to the point where you can write a proof and check it without needing feedback telling you where it falls down.

In addition to that, you've got the basic undergrad math major curriculum.

Maybe look at http://web.evanchen.cc/napkin.html as some sort of goal, to understand everything you find interesting there, and a small set of medium to hard problems that you could use to track your progression. (It goes quick so I'm suggesting it as an example plot of a subset of a curriculum, not necessarily a great learning resource. It's clearly aimed toward a particular sort of reader, and it is a bit tilted towards parlor trick mathematics. It's kind of a neat document if you finished a math major a decade ago. Edit: this link is weak on analysis.)

Oh, this is definitely an answer you should read critically.
Oh no. Believe me reading code full of templates is not a pleasure. There is a reason Go is so pleasant to read.
Humbly listen to users. Courageously question your assumptions. Iterate as fast as possible.

Starting a company doesn't necessarily require a large amount of capital. Think self-employed people creating LLCs. Such single member companies are not at all uncommon and, just like with any type of business, most of them fail. So if your argument is that non-rich people should not be allowed to engage in financially risky behavior, surely self-employment is off the table too.
I've been using Next.js and SSR with react is dead simple. I use React even when building standard web pages because the React way of doing things makes more sense to me as a programmer than the html/css/js way of doing things.

I like building composable building blocks with self contained state. The old model of separate html, css, and js never worked well for me.

My main complaint with React SSR is that it almost forces on me the requirement of using Node for the backend. I'd prefer to use a language like python.
