> Well Arch Linux Arm has optimized packages for soft-float ARMv5te, hard-float ARMv6 and ARMv7, and ARMv8 AArch64 instruction sets [1], which is even more.

Right, Void does not provide pre-built packages for armv5, there are a few other architectures void works with but doesn't provide pre-build packages.
this includes armv5, different mips targets and there are currently contributors working on getting powerpc and powerpc64 merged.
powerpc64 will most likely become another architecture with pre-build packages.

> Does it really matter if it is not under the same project?

Yes, different projects apply different patches, have potentially different packages or provide different package versions.

With Void every package has the same patches applied, maintainers are "forced" to write portable patches that can be easily upstreamed.
Package versions are usually the same (some exceptions), no delay.

I bet its easier for void to maintain all architectures at once than the man power required to maintain separate repositories and patches for the arch "forks".

Then you have the review overhead with forks, on void maintainers review commits to one repository, with the arch forks you have a fraction of the arch maintainers review commits to forks, while all others only review commits to the main repository.

Void makes it easier to maintain packages for different architectures, it provides xbps-src which cross compile to different architectures, it uses Travis-CI to build each pull request for different architectures.
Did anyone stop to think that maybe, just maybe, in the allotted time there simply isn't enough bandwidth to accurately answer the question of whether the candidate can do the job and will be a good fit and that no matter what strategy you try that perhaps this is an optimization problem for which there is no good solution.

Like this is it. As good as it gets.

I actually think all this back and forth, chopping and changing, people arbitrarily weeding companies out, companies arbitrarily weeding people out is providing just the right amount of randomness for everyone to wind up somewhere.

Nice guide. I didn’t know it was possible without the Chinese phone number + Chinese bank account.

Getting a Chinese phone number and bank account was surprisingly painless for me. You prepay around 20-30$ for a phone number at 1rmb/500mb and the account is a simple form.

Then if you have a nice bank account with fee free international withdraws you can convert money without fee by going to the atm, withdrawing, then depositing. All in all I’d say it takes about 2-3 hours, though I’ve heard ymmv depending on what bank branch you try to set up your account.

What most people, including researchers, don’t get is that depression causes distorted thinking. Black and white thinking is merely a symptom of the disorder. CBT’s approach to depression is wildly inaccurate and damaging. If you can change how you feel by changing your perspective you are NOT suffering from clinical depression. You are at worst morose, lethargic, and unmotivated. Depression includes those, but is much more; it calls itself apathy, but is actually a survival mechanism unlike any other. Think of bipolar disorder. Their range goes from -20 to 30 in terms of emotional intensity instead of 0 - 10 for normal people. Except our nervous system can’t really handle that kind of intensity, so every manic episode MUST be followed by a depressive episode, otherwise they would die. Or think of post-partum depression, a state in which a mother’s body has been pushed to the extreme (8 on the pain scale, easily). The body returns to a depressed state to survive until it has recovered. Distorted thought patterns, lack of motivation, and sense of lethargy are merely symptoms of this state.

Panhandling is literally illegal, and I'm reasonably sure that anyone who's "homeless" gets picked up by the authorities and taken away somewhere. So it's hard to assess how common either is. That said, because the police are extremely effective at keeping out drugs, I don't think it's nearly as common as in America.

Regarding crime, Singapore is one of the safest in the world. A lot of that comes down to effective policing and extremely strict sentencing that puts criminals behind bars for a very long time.

Family ties are a lot stronger, so a lot of people falling on hard times do get substantial help from their family members. But there's minimal governmental safety net of the type you find in Western Europe.

I seriously thought about getting a bank account and phone number. But I have a single-SIM phone, and really didn't feel like swapping the SIM in and out, depending on who I was calling. (Nor did I feel like having two phones with me.)

But yes, if I hadn't managed to get WeChat payments to work, I probably would instead have written a guide on getting a Chinese bank account!

Not meaning to demean anyone's hard work with psychology, but last year I changed my diet and my depression went away almost completely.
From routinely wishing to be dead -> to walking a part of the camino trail in europe and being able to hold a job.
Turns out, that all symptoms return when I eat carbs or fiber.
But even after the depression gone away there are still some issues in thinking and moving slowly, which could be addressed by therapy. But I'm kinda mad that no doctor ever told me about diet and gut-brain connection.
> So, many people (myself included) like just having a shell script to keep all that in, as one a system is built, the boot-up rarely changes.

That's actually few people, rather than many people, as the history of the past 40 years shows.

The simple fact of the matter is that after a system is built system administrators find themselves installing and uninstalling third-party applications softwares. Editing /etc/rc became tedious and error-prone, especially when installation/deinstallation utilities tried to do it automatically.

First there came /etc/rc.local in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where administrators could in theory cordon off the non-operating-system stuff for these applications, so accidents didn't wipe out half of /etc/rc any more. Problematically, value-added resellers thought that /etc/rc.local was their domain and put their stuff into it. One 1991 Usenix paper bemoaned the consequence of this that "there is no place to put 'real' local modifications and keep them distinct and separate from vendor supplied files".

Then came the idea in the early 1980s of drop-in shell scripts that could belong to individual softwares without need for editing a single monolithic shell script at all, the rc system of AT&T Unix System 3/System 5. This idea was repeated several more times. Miquel van Smoorenburg copied it for Minix and then Linux with an /etc/init.d/ directory. FreeBSD had a similar system by 1995 with an /etc/rc.local.d/ directory. Luke Mewburn reinvented it slightly differently for NetBSD in 2000 with an /etc/rc.d/ directory. Roy Marples reinvented it as OpenRC in 2007 with an /etc/conf.d/ directory.

All of this tells us that many people (not including you) in practice do not like the problems of just having a single shell script, and continually move away from it. Time and again over a period of 4 decades.

Your page is mysite.com. When a user signs in, you save some sort of session token to a non-HttpOnly cookie. Your backend ignores the cookie header, and you send the session token as a different header with every request. (Basically, the same way you'd authenticate if you were to use local storage).

Now assume your page loads evilsitem.com/tracker.js. They can send requests to your backend, and the cookie will be included, but since your backend ignores the cookie header it doesn't matter. The malicious script, however, cannot access the cookie directly, since the script's origin is not the same.

That's why I say cookies used this way are strictly more secure than local storage: the fact that they're included with every request is irrelevant, and they're protected from direct access by third party scripts. Local storage is not. Even if you use JWT for auth, you should still store it in a cookie.

pfft, who is still using iptables? :)

FYI, nftables has the 'inet' table which processes both IPv4 and IPv6 packets, and 'ip' and 'ip6' which processes each respectively.
The black ones are actually under a cloud. In Iowa, we have quite a few wind farms. I think for most people they are a source of pride. Maybe I just haven't met the grumps.
I don't think China is one of those though.
This. The proper approach is to normalize/deduplicate on ip objects that understand ipv6 domain logic. Then most issues just go away.
I view it as a probability spectrum. Prior default 10% this, 90% that... if you don't do anything you get that 90% outcome.. but you can act!!! And that increases the likelihood of the 10%. This means you need to apply Bayes Law to your thoughts. It also explains reality distortion fields etc...
The cited paper above, and even the influential 2018 Facebook paper by Gordon et al that tries to lobby for randomized controlled trials both disagree with your claim.

The observed incremental lift on digital conversion outcomes (particularly account signups and purchases from an online shopping cart) is (median) somewhere around 8% - 17% based on close to 500 different very large field experiments. The distribution is skewed so that the ~30% standard deviation represents mostly outcomes higher and only somewhere between 9% and 22% showed negative lift (which, as the Facebook paper points out, can also be related to the difficulty of observational statistical methods used for post facto causal inference).

8% lift is quite significant. There’s no open secret of “small impact” at all.

Ask HN: How to gain practical machine learning skills?
TLDR: I know the theoretical side of things in ML but lack practical experience. How can I fix that?

I am a CS student graduating in about half a year. I have taken a few ML classes in school. All of them went deep into the math (i.e., I know how things work, mostly) but very light on the "practical tricks" (i.e., I don't know how/where to use them). As a result, I do not have much experience writing code for ML stuff (save for some very simple assignments). For e.g., I have not used things like TensorFlow and PyTorch before.

What is your advice for me to gain practical ML skills? My gut feelings is that I need to do some exercises (a la leetcode). Where can I find these exercises? What other resources (e.g., books, courses, blogs, etc) should I look into?

Thanks and happy new year. :)

Public Domain Day 2019
I was taking a walk recently in a relatively industrial neighbourhood, around which were fields often buzzing with recreational/sport drone flyers (pushing us plane nerds to higher ground, naturally), and I have had the thought many times that there are already opportunities for bad actors to do things with drones in such places. The rec- flyers are but a hairs-width away from high drama, alas. RC/multi-rotor tech has just gotten incredibly high-performance, to a quite new market of people.. It will be interesting to see how much this drone tech will be canned.

Its all fun and games until someone weaponises it at mass scale.

None of the standard calls use colons for separating ports - I can’t recall exactly whether it’s even a standard URI thing or just something web browsers did.

Further, even UNIX paths containing ‘..’ and other things need normalisation, and with symlinks you can’t necessarily just compare two paths to determine whether they point to the same file.

The problem, as plenty of other people have said in these comments, is that you just need to parse the address and compare the structure. There are standard library calls for this, and most databases have types that can do this.

The name of the game is failure aversion. Frameworks and NPM packages for everything. When I interview JavaScript or UI developers this is my first discriminator. Why write original code or reinvent the wheel when somebody else has your simple solution behind 50mb of external code that you didn't write? If you are that fearful coward who believes in not writing original code I don't want to work with you. Have a nice life and go work somewhere else. I would rather work with somebody willing to take a chance on problem solving.

I've been building UI for years now and all these points highlighted by Dan are spot on. Great post!

I've been thinking lately about the "design system" trend that is becoming more and more popular where companies want more control over styling and behaviour to make their UX unique to their brand as well as consistent across all their products. Ready-made 3rd party components like the excellent react-select don't really fit into this world as general purpose components like this naturally have to make some choices regarding styling and behaviour. No matter how customisable they are, in the end they rarely integrate well into a UI based on a design system.

This makes me feel like the abstraction is all wrong. Rather than aiming for fully-functional, out-of-the-box components that cater for all manner of general purpose requirements, how about a library/framework that focuses on a set of primitive components that deal with the lower level concerns like layout, scrolling, positioning, etc. Maybe the abstraction could be more like "composable shapes" than "ready-made components" or something along those lines.

With this approach, you wouldn't ever start out with something like a ready-made Autocomplete component, for example. Instead, you would always build a custom Autocomplete and have complete control over styling and behaviour, but it would be built from solid foundations using some form of the "shape" abstraction. That way, you can focus on making the component's styling and behaviour consistent with the design system without having to worry so much about layout, accessibility, scrolling, positioning, etc - as all of these are taken care of by the framework.

>I would think (or at least hope) that there are not many new projects being started in c++ these days.

I doubt there was any fall to the number of C++ projects started. For the domains C++ is used (OSes, premium apps the likes of Office, Photoshop, 3D, video editing, DAWs, etc, AAA games, networking, databases, number crunching, etc), there's no substitute with the same number of compilers, ecosystem, maturity, and programmer base. Rust doesn't even come close.

This Is Exactly How You Should Train Yourself to Be Smarter [Infographic]
I am sure I am not alone at chuckling at the idea that one cannot type FS, GS, RS, and US on a keyboard, clearly borne of GUI conventions and thinking. Some of us have been typing control characters on a keyboard for quite a number of years. This is what the [Control] key is for. (-:

FS enjoys quite significant use nowadays on terminal keyboards in the worlds of Unix and Linux, it being the usual special character mapped to SIGQUIT. GS and RS are similarly fairly mainstream commands in VIM/NeoVIM.

The way I have seen accessibility introduced successfully is to make the QA the accessibility advocates. Train them up on the WCAG 2.0 guidelines and build their confidence up. Its ok when they open an accessibility defect that ends up being a false positive. Ensure the QA has the tools in place to get into the browser's developer tools and look at the structure of things and how various UI controls are accessed.

As the QA gain mastery over accessibility the developers are on the hook to implement the proper controls. It is easy to get upset when developers look like a bottleneck and hold up releases, but nobody gets upset when QA identifies potential liability and a shitty product.
