Ask HN: How to deal with people who rapidly introduce changes?
So we've some remote contributors who rapidly introduce changes to product pages without any split testing and we do not have enough traffic to reach statistical significance but we are getting on that level slowly

If you try to stop these contributors, they get angry and make you out like a dictator who rejects their contributions on whims.

What can be done?
Interestingly they've chosen to just not offer 0RTT at all at the back end, at least for now.

I'm not actually sure if this helps. I guess it means 0RTT mitigation at Cloudflare concentrates the risk there - they can take full responsibility for doing a good job and if your clients have nasty RTT (e.g. satellite) you get most of the benefit with no work. Still, if you're very small 0RTT safety is easy whereas Cloudflare has to work very hard to even make it somewhat resist replays because their system is so distributed.
Did the Snowden revelations end up weakening any government despite the violations against citizens? Or fast and furious? Iran-Contra? Don’t kid yourself.

> where JIT compilers are designed to optimize away...bounds checks

V8 does not optimize away bounds checks on array buffers. For one thing, array buffers can be detached, so their length can suddenly drop to zero.
There's a lot of implicit trust in this view, it's the same type of trust people around the world have for their governments, that doesn't mean they are incorruptible or well-meaning. This entirely is for allowing the government to control information, and thus control people.
Congrats for the launch Snigdha.
Hoping to be a contributor to your magazine some day. :)

Good Luck.
A thing to keep in mind: just because there is an "agent" card on someone, does not mean they were a snitch ("productive agent").

It is entirely possible that at least some cards were there to simply pad the numbers - to justify a handler's existence.

At least some others are likely based on the KGB agent's noting someone down as a source as a means of blackmailing them ("I am not a snitch!" - "Funny, I have a file on you already. Wonder what your neighbors would think when we drop you off and thank you. Might as well cooperate..."). Because good luck proving a negative.

I am a huge fan of transparency, but I would strongly argue that raw data, without context, in this instance, does not mean proper transparency is achieved.
My biggest disappointment with Facebook is that it - at least my feed - became toxic. There's only post complaining about politics, calling right/left people dumm, and fake news, a lot of fake news.

And now they are engaging in this fake notification scheme (same with twitter and LinkedIn)...

As i explained in another post, facebook is only useful for me because of the marketplace...
That's the difference between a technocracy and a democracy. If one were to draw a Venn diagram of people who are technically competent (in the field, whatever it may be) and people who are likely to be elected (due to multiple factors, such as interests, "likeability", format of public discorse, the ignorance of the population, etc, etc, etc) one would have no intersection.
Yeah you're at the mercy of what version of OpenSSL is used by your Nginx binaries.

I always like to play with bleeding edge latest tech so TLS 1.3 is a must for me, so I always build my Centmin Mod Nginx binaries using Nginx mainline 1.15 branch with end user selectable choice of OpenSSL 1.1.1 branch or BoringSSL crypto libraries - both allow my Nginx binaries to support TLS 1.3 https://community.centminmod.com/threads/centmin-mod-nginx-h... :)

Most of these hueristics are things I picked up by reading Serge Fauget and Sam Hinkie.

I use HabitsTracker to keep track of goals that I want to achieve:

a) Meditation
b)Exercise
c) Intermittent fasting
d)Reading
e) Daily review.
f) No Social Media
g) Check mails once a day.
H) Gratitude

I track these goals and use Habit tracker to tick the ones that I have met.
This may differ from one student to another or from lab to lab, but the general thesis is definitely true. I decided to quit academia in favor of IT industry exactly due to this high stress problem, even having a number of relative good papers published. I just could not bear it more.

PhD student/postdoc life is extremely unstable: 1) you are very limited in finances; 2) you have to perform a number of different research trials and most of them will have no success; 3) you are always limited in time; 4) there is a continuous flow of grant applications, reports, papers preparation, sometimes teacher assistance works. And in the middle of this you have to find your own unique path in science, your niche.

In summary, you have to be ready to live in a continuous disaster during relatively long period of life. If it fits you, then you can achieve success after ~10 years of hard work. Anyway, it was interesting experience for me :)

Spiking neural network and neuromorphic hardware are never mentioned in the article. These are a very promising direction for overcoming the von Neumann bottleneck.
Your claim that Chrome can be used a lesson in choosing programming languages is quite weak, because almost no one will build such a complex application and despite the risk all successful browsers still chose C++.

An application that:

a) has downloading and executing untrusted code as its main feature

b) supports a ton of media formats, with DRM to boot

c) is going through rapid changes, including adding very complex low-level features like WebUSB, WebGL or WebAssembly.

... will be insecure by design.

It's also very likely that no one will create a browser in C++ again, or in any other language for that matter. Microsoft recently gave up and decided to use Chromium, Opera gave up a long time ago. Chromium itself was forked from WebKit, which is used by Safari. Firefox is the only odd one out, slowly but surely sliding into irrelevance.
Is there a good open-source APL-like language somewhere?
That is an assumption since I didn’t go into the topic. And it’s semantics anyway. A car can very well be an investment, which doesn’t mean it should increase in value, simply that it produces value (carrying stuff for money can bring back more than the car is worth). Which is when taking care of it is more critical, to come back to my point.
This is the standard wartime playbook for restricting freedom. It's completely incompatible with functioning democracy.
> your house would be 1000 sq feet smaller

You've got to be joking. My grandparents lived in much bigger houses with much more land than I could ever afford despite the fact that they were single earner manual labourers and I'm a highly qualified person with in STEM.

In any case, they were at least as happy with their cars then as we are now, and they didn't want smartphones.
If you take properly prescribed opioids it is unlikely you get addicted, withdrawal symptoms or die. Those are issues stemming from miss use. Personally induced or by a careless physician. The exception is in palliative care and chronic pain where it still beats the alternative.

Apparently you get SSRI withdrawal from normal prescribed use. And its not surprising if you consider how long people have to take antidepressants.

I am a bit shocked, that something as commonly prescribed as SSRI have such severe withdrawal symptoms from normal use. Of the top of my head, i dont know of many kinds of prescription drugs that cause a withdrawal once you finish your regiment.
My point was that you may be more lax when talking about things order(s) of magnitude cheaper. But overall yes, cheaping out on parts savotges the entire expenditure.

The message told is "I'm unreachable via computer by hackers, so don't even try". If the message is true or not, or "something in between" is another question. I had seen other politicians do the same thing before.

Nobody would expect an expert in cybersecurity exposing details on internet that would help to find his personal machine. That would be really naive.

GNU APL is a perfectly reasonable APL implementation.

There are open source implementations of some K versions - Kona, which is K3, and oK, which is ~K5.

Any real reason for not using 3rd party? Could use ppa:ondrej/nginx and install OpenSSL 1.1.1b along with nginx.

I have a Model 3 in Brooklyn. Thankfully I have a garage where I can charge. Winter definitely makes it harder to charge and to keep charge. I spend about $1 per day to maintain charge level in winter. It’s about 30 cents in Summer.
This is probably only true in Germany.

Keeping immigrants in indefinite detention probably isn't legal in the US, doesn't mean it's not going to continue.

Now I'm starting to doubt your reading comprehension..

I explicitly said I don't blame Namecheap except for not sending me some notification and for that one service agent who told me he wasn't authorized to answer my question. That's were they fucked up. But as I said in that article "clearly it was my fault not renewing the domain in time".

Yes. I have the free but non open source APLX running on my iMac and have the image of the keyboard map they supply loaded in Preview.

Many of them are mnemonic, such as iota being (key)-I for example.
Both cognitive therapy and classic "shrink" therapy is on some level, you just talking about shit going on in your life. At the very least, if you are at the end of your rope with no (constructive) talking to be found amongst your peers in life, I am dead certain talking to a therapist is a good thing to try.
It depends on the field. I have a fairly large network of contacts who are phds or postdocs in German and Switzerland. The experiences range from fairly uneventful to US levels of stress.
There may be, but on this forum I just see people sharing shit that happened to them. It's a self selected group. If you see a headline and some bad stuff has happened to you, it's only natural that you may want to tell about it.
Sorry, I can't find the criticism I'm thinking of right now, but I'm sure you'll probably agree that George Monbiot says lots of controversial stuff and has definitely ruffled feathers on both side of the aisle on a number of issues. Almost always I've agreed with George Monbiot.

That being said, you're right that he definitely falls squarely in the anti-climate change denier column.

>Precisely why I said in the past here that it was a big mistake to fit all model 3s with self-driving hardware making the car significantly more expensive in terms of cost to build.

Why? data, that's why. You need massive amounts of good quality data to build a solid model that will be 99.9999% accurate. This is one of the leverage Tesla has against Waymo.

You can simulate all you want but nothing beats real world data.
I wonder: how do they perform those computations? It is not (afaik) that there are compilers available for iOS. Or are there?

Trees good. Ads bad.
I have always wondered, what is our life expectancy if we removed all deaths of despair from the statistics? This is a little different than the delta from the change in the deaths of despair (e.g., the report does say that our life expectancy is decreasing because of the deaths, but I didn't see the total impact of all of them on the stat). If I know I'm not going to die because of a death of despair, how long should I expect to live?

Im sure once an opposing government takes power and starts interrogating people who make comments like yours, you’ll be as accommodating.
I don't think he's suggesting blind fealty so much as avoidance of the opposite - blind opposition.

Good individuals (or governments) can do very bad things. And bad individuals (or governments) can do very good things. When one immediately jumps to one conclusion or another, it leaves one open to being trivially manipulated. In political jargon - being made into a useful idiot [1].

In this case it was particularly bad since it wasn't "one" but rather entire groups of people either blindly supporting or blindly opposing the caravan based on political ideology. Comments running contrary to the groupthink tended to be simply attacked instead of considered.

Are there reasons to support the investigation into the caravan? Absolutely. Are there reasons to oppose it? Absolutely. But people are increasingly becoming simple minded on political issues and will simply go full-on one way or the other. This (to borrow from a peer comment) is what is "completely incompatible with functioning democracy."

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot
there is is an alternative solution where you basically do it using an inorder traversal. it uses more stack space because it holds 1 node pointer in global state and two node pointers between the left and right recursion. While the building a list solution just holds a single node pointer during the left and right recursion.

lets say you want to convert a tree to single linked list in order then you can just do an in order traversal of the tree and keep track of the previous node and assign previous.left = current_node and this is fine because if you are at the successor to a node then the whole of the previous nodes left subtree has been visited because it is smaller and you will never need to follow the left pointer again.

previous = nil
in_order(tree) do |node|
if previous
previous.left = node
end
previous = node
end

however, you can't do node.right = previous until you have visited the right subtree of the current node so you can't use exactly the same code for a doubly linked list. however, if you do the fix up after you have finished processing the current node then it works fine. so if you have an iteration that will give you both an inorder and postorder callback and a way of sharing state between them you can just do the fixup in the postorder callback where it is safe.

previous = nil
head = nil
multi_order(tree) do |node, order, state|
if order == :inorder
if previous
fixup_state = [node, previous]
else
head = node
end
previous = node
fixup_state #passed back into iterator and is return in post_order callback
else
if state
fixup_node, fixup_previous = state
fixup_previous.left = fixup_node
fixup_node.right = fixup_previous
end
end
end
previous.next = head
head.prev = previous
head
Once again, alcohol listed separately from "drugs", and it's the most harmful drug of the lot.

I've been thinking about this lately. Specifically, I see a connection between systems theory and graph theory. My intuition tells me that all relationships between systems can be expressed as graphs.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm not very familiar with either field, so I may be asking a basic question.

That's definitely true of the ones that hijack browsers and attempt to trick users into installing malware.

I have and do pay money for content. For those who don't offer that option I've got uBlock Origin as ads (alongside privacy) also present a security issue.
That's all true in the context of trying to boost voltage/clock speed on a chip that is already running close to thermal limits when using a stock active heatsink (which are already huge). And yet, even in that context people are able to overclock parts rated for 3Ghz to over 5Ghz using extreme cooling solutions.

In the context of building desktop-grade ARM CPU's we're not talking about 5Ghz overclocks, but about going from passive cooling in cramped space without any airflow, to something more like a laptop or workstation with active cooling. You also don't need to go all the way up to 5 Ghz, the A12X for example runs at a maximum clock speed that is 40% lower than the base clock of the i7 the benchmarks the article is referring to, yet it manages to be already quite close in terms of performance.

Your comment kinda embodies everything that is complicated about Linux distribution support.

You use an LTS distribution, yet you want to have bleeding edge features. It sounds like you simply want two things that are in contradiction to each other.
I understand Google stance but I think they should have made a bit more effort.

The problem here is that you are not allowed "incentives to click artificially on sponsored links". And the implied message of "click a link, plant a tree" is clearly and artificial incentive, even though there is a disclaimer no one reads. It makes these clicks less valuable (lower conversion rates), advertisers still pay full price, are unhappy, and because advertisers are the true Google customers they make sure it doesn't happen.

But the question would be: why not make "charity clicks", which advertisers can opt in or out of. The best, if a little evil part: good PR for everyone involved. The "plant a tree" search engine gets to grab people. Advertisers can say they support charity by allowing such lower value clicks to go through and Google can do the same. i.e. for one good action, 3 parties can claim responsibility.

There was an extremely impressive video a year or two back of someone who had built a compiler in APL. While I don't code in it, it changed my view of APL and its power.

HN was fairly caught up with it for a month or so, and a flood of APL posts.

Someone may have a link to it.

The side of science? It would help if you defined terms before using them. What is a denialist and who are they? I'm not aware of a single scientist or informed layperson who thinks that human emissions have no effect whatsoever on the climate. The intelligent question is: how much of an effect do they have on the earth's energy balance? Less than x% you're a denialist and greater than x% you're not? Is that how it works? Meanwhile debates about the magnitude of the climate sensitivity roll on with no clear answer.
Can you please link the piece that claims this - I see nothing to support this in the couple of links around transport emissions.

Yeah LTS or bleeding edge is always time relative. For example OpenSSL 1.1.1 is the new LTS release https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/09/11/release111/

They have. From what I know, other companies that they had talks with want to change the spec instead of just adopting it.

Which is pretty absurd since they are already getting the tech without spending resources on R&D. Yet, they want more control.

By the way, China is commencing Two Sessions/Lianghui[1] recently, so I believe what Huawei did is just right on the political time.

Perhaps we need not to over-react around this period about what's happening in China; certainly Huawei will chicken out after then.

Also, there are numerous anonymous reports that GFW is now on steroid, rendering "wall climbing"[2] harder but not impossible.

You view of these things don't converge with my experiences at all. The flue-like 'withdrawal' from ssri's is not nice, but it is peanuts compared to drugs with a misuse potential like opioids. Opioids rewrite your brain's reward system, the withdrawals are excruciating, and your former addiction will be a part of you for the rest of your life.

As I wrote having first and second hand experience with both kinds of withdrawal I think talking the danger of opioids down while talking ssri's up is wrong and dangerous.
