This looks awesome! Clearly you have put in a lot of hard work and thought into this.

Ive been itching for a scriptable personal knowledge base where I can store arbitrary datastructures and executable code in addition to the typical richtext note taking. Will be diving into the code asap. Cheers!
Nintendo president on risk, innovation, and reducing business instability
This looks awesome! I've been looking through the docs. I can't wait to get back to my computer to give it a whirl.
I don’t have the drawing and artistic skills to do something similar, but I’ve been doing this mentally with my imagination since my childhood after I was introduced to sci-fi films and books. Glad I’m not the only one (weirdo) doing it :-)
This was a seminal article of my youth. I still use the terms "Nethead" and "Bellhead" sometimes in conversation, and I refer people to the article fairly regularly. Setting aside the references to particular technologies, I think it gives a good background on a fundamental philosophical business difference.
Yeah, but 1.2 still supports a lot of "shitty" ciphers. Try disabling them too...
The answer for me has been “work on what I want to work on” and it has gradually shifted to be something that helps other people.

So, for me, I think you’re better off starting doing something you want and seeing where that takes you.

I'm in a normal no-name township

... which generally means it attracts fewer homeless.
Quickly checking on the way. Is there a way to import notes from Evernote?
There are probably no practical reasons, but I avoid proprietary software whenever possible, which nowadays is always, except for a couple of phone apps.
As patio11 put it "If you stop building housing, you’re deciding someone doesn’t get to live there; market just tells you their names."
Yeah... I had thought that this would be a good way to share messages secretly, but the thing is the moves are nonsensical, so anyone who bothered to check out what the game progresses would know something is up and would google "Chess message encoding" (the fifth result is the blog post for it, lol).

If the moves actually made sense, this would be a lot more useful. There's probably something that can measure how good a move is, so I guess what you can do is make sure that the moves you use to form a message are above a certain threshold. That way, someone looking into the moves wouldn't immediately know that they're being used to encrypt messages. But honestly other than that, I dunno what you can use it for.
Hm, maybe I wasn't clear. It's not actually /using/ the memory when it's committed.

But the sum of your committed memory across all applications must exist in some form on the host system.

So, for example it's a common performance optimisation to double the amount of allocated space when you grow anything in C++, what this means is that you're not actually using the space yet but malloc() and zeroing is kinda slow.

So, you have 128MB of ram which is your programs address space and you just doubled your array from 75MB to 150MB, well, that extra 22MB must exist. Even though you're only using 76MB.. even if the OS shows it as free. (which, it will)

Thems the rules, and I promise you that I have thoroughly tested this; as it was causing a really nice crash on my servers even though we had more than 50% of memory "free"
Those are type one unums, not posits. What you are saying about variable length encoding may be true, but it does not actually apply to the current comparison. Type 2 unums are also fixed length, but have other issues.
I think you are confusing the technology with the implementation here. JWT the technology is essentially a way to issue a token and validate that the token is legimiate.

No one said anything about stateless authentication. If you're going to use cookies, and I recommend that, you need to put something in the cookie, cookies don't magically implement authentication for you. If for some reason you're not using the framework's way of authenticating with cookies, I'd recommend using JWT. Is there something else you'd recommend? Just use cookies is a hand-waving answer in and of its self.
Groovy 2.4.5 gets it right:

Particularly interesting comment:

> Q: Have you ever run into an “innovation dilemma” – where the company’s past successes were too big, making innovation impossible?

> Furukawa: We aren’t really fixated on our consoles. At the moment we’re offering the uniquely developed Nintendo Switch and its software – and that’s what we’re basing how we deliver the “Nintendo experience” on. That being said, technology changes. We’ll continue to think flexibly about how to deliver that experience as time goes on.

This comment makes a lot of sense given Nintendo's recent success on iOS/Android. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Nintendo pivot away from the "traditional" console market over the next decade. Interestingly this pattern can be seen from Microsoft as well, who seem to be slowly blurring the lines between Xbox and Windows.
I don't know if I have any strong recommendations. In terms of what I use: Keybase and iMessage, depending on who I'm talking to.
@app4soft, humbly asking for an "executive summary" tweet (maybe pinned on @OliveTeam?) introducing the project to people who have never heard of it to make it easy to retweet with some essential "selling" points (cross platform, open source, free, financially backed on Patreon, very active, ...)
When was art about cutivation of virtue? Also, shocking art is quite old ...
@app4soft is not the Olive developer (nor am I :))

Shotcut development is self-funded since 2018, so that makes three projects.

I don't see myself seriously comparing OpenShot to Olive. They are vastly different, in my opinion. The way I see it, Olive is being streamlined for prosumer/pro work. Hence all the editing tools, advanced keyframes UI, graph editor etc. — things I don't expect OpenShot to have.
Ah, the good old OpenGL fixed function pipeline, deprecated for over 11 years now.

For something a bit more modern, I'd recommend [0], but one might argue that old OpenGL is easier to learn since you don't have to setup your own shaders.

I would like to know if there is anybody on Hacker News who does anything "in irrationality" as you describe.

Over work? Over program? Over game similar to your "d)"? Over technology -- e.g. databases and search at work whilst Drones & Arduino at home?

When is any of this "addiction"? What if you replaced "Arduino" with "Alcohol"? What if you looked at "databases" and asked "is this interfering with my normal life"?
Nvm, when i disconnected out of the VPN to my workplace, the images loaded fine.
Tried connecting to VPN again to test if the images would load this time, it didn't. Weird... It could be something specific with my VPN.
Sorry, I probably should have been more explicit. I was also referring to the part where they suggested disabling weak ciphers, like explicitly stated in GP, RSA. That's what caused problems for me.
Yep, VSE finally got a maintainer after many years of having none. Personally, I'm really looking forward to Richard's contribution.
I am not sure what you are talking about. wrk2 can put out 7M req/s on a 16 core box. That is way beyond Phoenix's performance on the same HW type. wrk2 is widely used and accepted performance measurement tool. Again, you mentioned microseconds latency which means you are talking about localhost microbenchmarking. That is irrelevant from the production workload point of view. I have saturated network links successfully with wrk2 which is the definition of fast enough.

Interestingly there was a thread on HN previously which tools are used for HTTP perf testing:

>>> - Wrk: https://github.com/wg/wrk - Fastest tool in the universe. About 25x faster than Locust. 3x faster than Jmeter. Scriptable in Lua. Drawbacks are limited output options/reporting and a scripting API that is callback-based, so painful to use for scripting user scenario flows.

To clarify, the point of Scotty3D is not to teach OpenGL -- the students do not write any OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, etc in the class. The OpenGL that is there is simply used to render the 3D models and the UI, so updating that code is pretty low priority.

One of my longer-term goals as a TA for the class is to update Scotty3D to Vulkan or modern OpenGL.

EDIT: I wanted to expand on this point, as this is actually an important part of the philosophy of the design of the course. As the OP argues as well, it more important to learn the fundamentals of CG theory (eg rasterization, the rendering equation, solving ODEs/PDEs) than the specifics of any particular implementation (OGL, DX, etc). After taking 462, many students (including myself!) take the class 15-466 Computer Game Programing [0], which goes deep into more modern OpenGL implementations (admittedly, it's OGL 3.3, but it still covers shaders/VBOs/other important concepts that translate to modern APIs).

Here is my work in progress for intro OpenGL programming

It in python, doesn’t involve matrices. It really only requires high school math, with the exception of the z axis.

Hope it’s helpful!

It does, all the time.

Maybe. We'll see.
It also recently became available on Amazon Echo devices, so I wouldn't read anything special into it becoming available on Samsung TVs (given that Apple's Homepod directly competes with Echo): https://www.wired.com/story/apple-music-on-amazon-echo/
I wish what I said were fiction:

Price is determined by both the characteristics of the unit and the characteristics of the market. This is why units that are not at all luxurious by national standards can rent for $3500 in San Francisco, and why luxury high-rise apartments can rent for $1800 in Chicago.

It’s true that developers target the top of the market. The point is that, when they do it at scale, supply/demand balance brings the top of the market a lot lower. Possibly even lower than the bottom of the market in SF today. And they will do it at scale, unlike public housing.

The market has successfully provided nearly every home that exists in every affordable market today.

You’re probably right that it won’t solve homelessness, because many homeless people would not be able to hold a job and pay rent at any price level.
not sure if you are looking for one but I have an extension that I wrote because I am similar to you and always had a hard time finding the tab I wanted. You might find it useful:

In what way do you choose to live with said money?
I won't infer your own political views. I simply want to point out that the phrase "virtue signaling" has been appropriated by conservative factions as some sort of insult. It is used to imply that their liberal counterparts are in some way fraudulent or faking their stated concern for other people or groups of people. This sort of blanket painting of opposing viewpoints as disingenuous lies is exactly the type of thinking the posted article was speaking against.
I read about 20 replies of that and it does sound a bit overblown. Yes - the protocol is not perfect, but the flaw is a minor one. It could even be considered a feature request - preserve semblance of security after key compromise. If it can be done sure, by all means! But does not necessitate panic or rushing things - that would be more dangerous.
I've done that at least five times.

got BS, and worked in industry
got bored, and read a lot about [cool basic-science stuff]
started grad school re [cool basic-science stuff]
got PhD and did a couple postdocs in [cool basic-science stuff]
got horrified by academic rat race, and got interested in [cool NGO stuff]
[almost went to law school, to do patent law]
got a job doing [cool NGO stuff]
got frustrated by slow progress, and tired of being poor
[almost did another postdoc]
got a job doing [well-paid litigation stuff]
got tired of the pressure, and started playing more re privacy-related stuff

And so, here I am.

What I get is that basically I like to play. I've rarely managed to be well paid for it, however.
Trickle down is a theory about tax rates, wages, jobs. “Supply and demand determine housing prices” is not that.

How do you feel and what do you think about Lilith Starr's opinion and experience that a religion at-least partially focused on self responsibility was more helpful on achieving sobriety than AA?
That's an amazing turnaround.
meh. opportunity is everywhere, as demonstrated by the protagonist of this story.

in the US anyway.

ok not exactly everywhere, but at least in the lumberjack backwoods of Idaho (as portrayed). we can do better, but you know what? i’ll take it.

how can he argue opportunity is lacking when his example is the son of a lumberjack, discouraged from being other than a lumberjack, is designing the rocket to go to mars?
Broadly, the law doesn't work by allowing things.

Imagine if the police could walk up to you in any situation and demand that you prove the legality of any part of whatever it is that you are (or are not) doing.
Has anyone had experience of both Elixir and F#?

I've dabbled with both - but really fell in love with both of them! I come from a C# background, so the static typing of F# is a big pull. OTOH, the simplicity of Elixir was an absolute delight - after just an afternoon, I felt like I had a decent grasp of it.

I'm conflicted, and would value some other opinions?

I think most of those will work on QB64, too. So you could end up end with fast, native executable files on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. That doesn't matter much for those tutorials, but QB64 might be ever so slightly quicker to get up and running than DosBox + QBasic.
> Proxies. Olive doesn't do that yet.

In the age of UHD resolutions and up this should probably be on the list of immediate priorities. I could not work without the proxy feature of Premiere.
I don't know how to make the calculation that you are describing.
That still implies 50 of them are trying to make it seem like anything but a toy.

I was given a Google Home Mini as a Christmas gift (the resident tech god for most people's lives doesn't have one? what, how can this be!? someone rectified that for me), and I've been toying with it... and its the Google assistant in my phone, but in a stand alone device.

I mean, don't get me wrong, that's a lot more useful than people realize because.... IT ACTUALLY WORKS. Ridiculously loud kitchen fan hood roaring along at levels that are probably considered unsafe by OSHA standards? "Hey Google, do the thing." "Okay, I'm doing the thing." Upstairs, far away from it? Not even yelling at it, it understands me reasonably and does things alarmingly often.

The best impossible magic? "Okay Google, turn my television off." My Chromecast is not named "television" nor "my television", is only referenced in my Home config as the default TV for that room (of which the TV and Mini share), and somehow turns the TV off even though the Chromecast does not expose this functionality anywhere in the Home app (and was assumed to only know how to issue exactly one HDMI CEC command (turn TV on and switch input to here) due to some undocumented and strange hardware issue... hundreds of threads across the Internet all about how can they turn the TV off even though they can turn the TV on, none of them ever figuring out how to issue CEC off or even if the Chromecast can... it can, and the assistant in my tiny speakers knows how to issue this probably undocumented command to the Chromecast).

My experience with Alexa? Ideal listening conditions, no background noise, only me talking. "Alexa, do the skill that you know how to do and is advertised in the commercials on TV, any off them." "I'm not quite sure how to help you with that".
I don't know what is meant by the OP, but FWIW, art has traditionally been about beauty and transcendence and elevating the minds of men. That can have the effect of inspiring virtue, I'd say, and can help influence certain sensibilities. Art today is often nihilistic and destructive, obsessed with subverting a world it cannot stand.
What you describe is exactly what the "without blunders" mode attempts to do, but evaluating every possible move for each player to a useful search depth takes a long time, so it doesn't search very far.

Also, the more you restrict the space of allowable moves, the more moves are required to encode a given message.
TypeScript and Rust are #5 and #13 on GitHub

So much 3, 4, and 5.

I was so spoiled at my last employer. Leaving was a mistake, but I can't go back because I relocated. Seems like nobody in this entire town "gets it". Seriously.
Its not that the argument is impossible. The issue is that it's just a hypothetical with no backing presented as fact.

Some policies cannot scale from 10 million to 100 million, but some can. No work is put into proving that this particular policy cannot scale.
Pretty sure this existed in the 20th century too.
Does this support maths notation? E.g. Latex code interpreted with Katex or MathJax, or WYSIWYG with MathQuill.

to author: quickstart guide not working, garage11 page shows 502.

I am working on something VERY similar. However, in my architecture I have a backend server that does the signaling with the remote part. So Bob uses web client to send info to whom it needs to connect, say Alice (you can use a custom protocol or SIP over Websockets here, doesn't make any difference since the external parties don't interact with that part), the server forwards that to Alice.

I haven't seen the documentation of CA11, docs site is down as I said, but from what I understand it provides only the web client part. So, if Bob and Alice run only their web client how do they reach each other ?
Sadly, Apple seems more like the company to cut products that "don't produce enough growth". Look at how they killed off the ipod, airport, and time capsule devices. At the moment it seems if something isn't selling like crazy, they either ignore it or discontinue it.
Wow. Is the software that complex that it takes 10k employees to work with it?!! :)
It is a matter of fairness. The way insurance traditionally worked is that your cost was proportional to your risk; This is what actuaries do for a living. Insurance companies live and die on actuarial tables. I was asked whether I smoked for my life insurance -- that was a fair question. Of course this will always be a crude estimate, but drug use voluntarily puts one in a higher risk category and actuaries can give you the numbers.

Now this should not be the end of the story. I understand there are folks who need medical treatment that can not afford it. There should always be a mechanism to make sure folks get the necessary help. I would hope the church or some other private entity would step up -- and often do. If not, then the final catch is the government.

The government taking over the whole health insurance industry is a naive solution that will result in crappy coverage for everyone. I don't claim to have a complete solution -- it is a difficult problem. I don't like extremes in either direction : completely privatized and completely government run are both bad solutions.
Is a home an investment though? You would plan to live in it and probably retire in it. And even if you sold it eventually you would have to spread the profit (assuming appreciation) over the many years that you have lived in it.
I had to look up "otiose". Not a good sign for an update to backers.
Highly available critical services comprising the PagerDuty infrastructure, actually. Cool dismissal though.
This is very interesting. It's self-hosted and therefore not reliant on someone's brittle/invasive business model. I'd consider switching over to this in a heartbeat if it could handle attaching arbitrary files to notes (e.g. office docs, pdfs, etc.) that would also get sync'd.

I haven't looked at the code, but can anyone say something informed about the sync server auth and transport security? Is it running over TLS?
Personally it's having the knowledge of 2008 still fresh on my mind, the uncertainty in the market, a possible coming recession and the speed at which unsustainable housing prices are currently increasing make it more attractive to Rent & Save rather than buy a home.
> There are absolutely motivations and incentives for the advancement of IPv6, the most obvious of which is the exhaustion of IPv4 address space.

Which is exactly my point: a system could have been decided that only focused on increasing the address space (in as backwards-compatible a way as possible), but instead v6 tried to roll "everything and the kitchen sink" into it, while making the address space transition about as difficult as possible.

The fact that IP v4 addresses are so expensive just highlights the failure of v6. If v6 had been successful, v4 addresses should have a value of $0.
According to the abstract (I haven't tried to access the full article), the researchers take standard academic climate models (for instance, HadCM3 [1]), plug in some assumptions about future CO2 emissions, and compare the results to what is known about Eocene and Pliocene climates.

If these academic models reflect reality (and several generations of climate scientists have tried to ensure that they do), then human-made climate change is "real". But if for some reason you believe that all these climate models are incorrect, then you will probably find this article to be of little interest.
