I think that if discoverability would be there from the start, we wouldnt have things like Hateoas or GraphQL developed in the first place - why do that if its there ?

First example shows how most APIs on Internet look like right now with all possible enhancments after that - presenting that they are far from ideal.
After that is a section which shows how to limit human interaction with API because it should be "machine to machine" designed and how it can be accomplished using the new approach.

Tho i understand its hard to get at first, some TLDR wouldnt hurt.
My money's on this. No one wants to live next to a major airport what with all the flight noise and reduction in property values.

I disagree completely. So far, both here and on Twitter, the core complaint, that donations are solicited in the name of people who have no relationship with Brave, and from whom Brave has no consent, has been completely ignored.

The fact is the original complainant, Tom Scott, and many others, find that practice abhorrent, and the response so far has been deflection or vague promises that the Brave team want to help content creators, whether they want the "help" or not.
I will echo this too. I think Go has helped usher in the sensible concept BDD and of microservices to the forefront and the do one thing do it well approach. Versus monolithic applications instead you have a lot of digestible standalone services comprising the overall application and Go excels in this.
Also as someone who's never touched splines before, I found it pretty difficult to replicate. The "a" from the screenshot looks fairly smooth everywhere (except possibly the upper-right outside curve), but I found that unless I got the positioning just right, I could run into some degree of "bumpiness". This may, of course, say more about me than about Raph's new splines :P.

If I wanted to try Raph's prior work on spiro splines for comparison, is there some way to do that that's easier than learning to use Fontforge? (When I last tried Fontforge, it didn't seem to handle hi-DPI screens well...)
The NPS regularly arrests people doing extreme sports (like BASE jumping, or camping too long or where/when not permitted) at Yosemite. There’s an on site court and a jail. It’s become a highly policed Disney world over the last 50 years, catering to those whose idea of adventure is crowded family group tours and lugging your plush suburban lifestyle around in a camper.

Also, generally you are held liable if you inflict suffering on someone when you are drunk. Why then should Yosemite, cruises, or the bartender be liable if you inflict suffering on yourself when you are drunk? Either you’re responsible for your own actions or you aren’t.

Yeah I thought this was a NN that could predict cat's behavior, but it's simply "is the cat there or not" which is pretty trivial by comparison. Even humans don't know if the cat actually wants to go out or just wants the human to open the door for no reason.

super nit: the flag used for China before 1949 is incorrect. The PRC (People's Republic of China) didn't rule China until 1949. From 1912-1949 the flag of ROC (Republic of China) should be used.

>Or, widespread Internet use decreased the ability of the traditional gatekeepers of information to manipulate voters.

Or, widespread internet used merely decentralized the means by which voters were manipulated, because voters were trained (in part by those traditional gatekeepers) to reject the mainstream and trust the fringe implicitly, rather than apply critical thinking skills to both.

>We must not tolerate intolerance, because that kills tolerance overall.

I see people repeat that, but I don't see anything to indicate it is true. Quite the contrary, it would appear that one of the main factors in the growing white nationalist population is censorship and other attempts to silence people (calling them some thought terminating cliche like "racist" or "bigot" when they aren't saying anything racist or bigoted). When you say that someone's words are dangerous and they must be silenced, you imply that their views are so overwhelmingly convincing that large numbers of people will be swayed if they hear them. Since you can't actually silence them, all you do is cause them to move somewhere you don't control and then point to your censorship on platforms you do control as evidence that you know they are correct and fear the truth. You end up portraying yourself as the evil authoritarian empire, and the people you are trying to silence as the valiant freedom fighting rebels. People are sympathetic to the rebels, not the empire.

Here are my assessments as somebody who has traveled to South America, Europe, and spent 4 years living in the Middle East.

> Everyone outside the US knows the top US politicians. You even know what issues they are discussing, like gun control and healthcare.

That is only vaguely true. People outside the US tend to know of these issues in the media about as well as the average American, which isn't very well.

> You'll know the names of the states. How many other foreign countries do you know the subdivisions of?

I don't find that is true. Most Americans don't even know of most US states and I find people outside the US are about as aware of US geography as the average American. Americans that frequently travel abroad tend to be well versed in geography particularly where they are traveling to. Likewise, foreigners who travel to the US to be far better aware of US geography than the average American.

> You know what movies are big in the US. You know what songs are popular.

That is absolutely true. Everybody is in love with American media.
> it's also probably better than the "Pretend this error didn't happen" type error handling that programmers write when they are forced to handler the 80% of possible errors that will never occur.

It’s interesting that Go programs don’t have either of these problems. Not necessarily because of technical controls, but because of a strong culture of “handle your errors” that adapts programmers to actually think about how their program should behave when things don’t go exactly as planned.

> And if you need a high-reliability system where 500 errors aren't acceptable, then Go is the wrong language, period. Its static type system is a joke and it doesn't provide any real formal verification beyond that.

This is a false dichotomy. You don’t have to choose between 500ing on a client error or never-ever throwing 500s. You could use 500s as they were intended—to signal server issues. And while it’s true that Go’s type system doesn’t cover ~5% of cases (and that’s generous), surely it’s better than Python’s which covers zero? (Yes, I know about Mypy and no it’s not yet suitable for a production system).
That is not what dead reckoning is.

You’re idea is simply flying by other instrumentation.

Dead reckoning would be the accelerometer only, and estimating an assumed possible position based on known facts about the vehicle’s inertia and direction over time.
HTTP is inherently stateless. I think it was probably a mistake to not more clearly change this with the move to encrypted transport - or rather, I guess web sockets are a better evolution of http/1.1 than just wrapping http/1.1 in tls.

Without state there isn't any great way to do transactional changes, without some added state; if you say get me a list of users, then update user x, y and z; there's no way to make sure you're not working on stale data.

You could run the logic on the server (send js to execute in a transaction), or you could have protocol level support (like with sql: begin...commit/rollback).

But rest/http will always be a document store, and it will always be challenging to maintain data integrity accross documents/resources. It's not what it was designed for.

A good point, but the puzzle is, though, that the author isn't recording those sort of velocities (or, rather, the acceleration that would lead to them) while the round is in the barrel.

Not all the gas reaches the bullet speed. We might guess that it averages half that, but that is assuming, I think, a uniform density and complete gasification of the charge (though with regard to the latter, is there a reason for there being a larger charge than that?)

This argument also suggests that the recoil firing blanks would be a substantial fraction of the recoil with a live round, which is not how I recall it.
What I like about keypass is that it's not networked and not running in the browser, making the attack surface a lot smaller.

Keypassxc having such features(and apparently the old network protocol was vulnerable lol) is for me a strike against it.

All three of your possibilities imply that it was on purpose and understood to be wrong to begin with. What about if you made a mistake: you thought you were doing the right thing, but turns out it was the wrong thing. Or you thought what you are doing wouldn’t impact anybody negatively. Or you did the right thing but it didn’t work out the way you anticipated. Or it was an innocent and honest thing you did, but somebody else took offence anyway. You can be sorry for things without there being any malice at play.

We (humans) are not always good at predicting the future or other people’s reactions. We do stupid things and make stupid mistakes all the time and when these things affect others we often feel sorry that we did those things.
Shotgun shot has none of those issues. Has no one on HN been around firearms?
Mods: The title should likely be changed back to the original ("Amazon reveals private Alexa voice data files").

The story here isn't that Echo stores recordings (they tell you they do, you can even listen to them) and it wasn't done "via GDPR" since that's a law, not a method of communication or platform.
I think the point was rather to know these tactics exist, work in practice and are difficult to counter.

> The internet has allowed him and his ilk a bigger voice, platforms to more efficiently spread their ideology and organize.

I have character flaws. Do you propose that we exclude people with certain flaws from our online communities? Which ones? Lack of empathy is a popular target, but children under 7 almost all lack empathy and they can be generous and kind despite it being intellectually motivated instead of emotional. Adults without empathy can be similarly productive members of our communities.
Nowhere did I state that.

Rather we must expose the fascists for what they are, drive them back to their hiding holes. We're not forcing anyone, simply showing social media platforms etc. that the presence of hate-spewing and minority-oppressing fascists is not wanted. They react by simple mechanisms of capitalism, by removing them, in order to not lose ad revenue.

The fascists are free to find other platforms, no one is censoring them.
There are some w3c tools around open annotations that might be a good fit for this.
First some light is reflected from the moon without increasing the temperature of moon rocks. Second, the moon landings avoided peak moon temperatures making the fact astronots survived irrelevant. Just look at how long their shadows where, it was a long way from noon and 127c surface temperatures.

Finally paper burns at ~233c but plenty of things ignite at lower temperatures. Hay’s ignition temperature is ~130c which considering the moon is 127c and you will concentrate extra reflected sunlight seems very viable.

However, the earth’s atmosphere blocks a lot of moonlight, so it’s more likely to work in a pressurized cabin at high altitude or spacecraft. Even your lenses are going to be an issue.

PS: A lunar day is almost a month long. They are casting long shadows which means they are a long way from noon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11#/media/File%3AAldr...
This is what I thought of formal education as well. Most of the topics are interesting, but you have to learn how to pass an exam. In fact, several exams, in too many subjects to appreciate at once.

The point of my engineering program seemed to be that you can apply the same few math topics (vector calc, numerical methods, complex analysis, etc) to just about anything: electricity, structures, fluid flow, and so on. There was no real need to force people to do loads and loads of these courses. It's not like you can build an actual bridge or digital radio after such a course, you just have an appreciation for it.

But you have to study all the specific models in each course to get your degree.

The same goes for essay subjects like Economics. There's a lot of interesting stuff, but you need to read a mountain of books in a certain way that allows you to write a 6-8 paragraph essay on exam day.

When I left uni, I spent my spare time learning finance. I did it at my own pace. I read through Hull and Wilmott for technical stuff. But I also read a fair few histories and biographies. All at a sensible pace, choosing myself what I thought was important to understand.

Its all pretty wacky. It seems they wanted it to continue or something. Even the british military isn't this inept. They themselves demoed a drone weapon just months ago, but where was it? This has to be a huge black eye to everyone involved.

This is just a syllogism. Context -> names. !names -> !context.

So we can tell that a guy who hasn't heard of eigenvectors (name) doesn't know much about linear algebra (context).
This spline only depends on the orientation of the tangent line, not on the direction of the tangent ray. i.e. it is periodic every half turn, as you found.

That’s actually the whole point of this type of curve (and also Adobe’s recent “k-curve” tool) – knots are more or less at the curvature extremes; pulling a knot outward will make first a ruffle shape, then a sharp cusp, then a loop; the curve in general doesn’t extend far outside the rough shape of a polygon through the knots; and the solver is robust.

There exist plenty of curve primitives more like what you are suggesting here (see Raph’s PhD thesis), with a full-turn periodicity. But they end up creating shapes which loop out past the knots, and they also tend to not have unique solutions all the time, with the result that they sometimes will discretely jump from one local minimum to another as you make slight changes in the inputs.
