I think you may not be the target market. A lower-level option is often more powerful, but carries added complexity and a steeper learning curve. It is my understanding that Mathematica is more valued in academic settings where not everyone wants to deal with learning Clojure.

Many poor people rent furniture rather than buying because it's not feasible to muster the initial investment, and must continue doing it in spite of the long-term loss. The same is true here: not everyone uses Clojure over Mathematica because many cannot find the large chunk of time to learn it, though its use may produce a net gain of time long-term.

> Using maps in Mathematica is awkward and feels like doing precision watchwork in boxing gloves.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? I haven't used it before.
At least with your own apartment you don't share the kitchen or bathroom.
There absolutely are brilliant engineers out there.

The problem is, they're probably not working at Boeing.

for a 9 room, there's probably at least 2 kitchens and 4-6 bathrooms.

From the way the picture looks, it's a whole house.

In Toronto, we have these rooming houses that are teeny tiny 24 people rooming, about 50-100 square foot each, in a space that has 1 shared kitchen and half a bathroom (a washroom with toilet + a separate unconnected closet that serves as a shower, so you can't go potty and take a shower in one space) and they charge $800-1000 per person.
It can cost millions, depending on the agreements they made and technology they leveraged to build their game.

You can't go around distributing OTHER peoples work, just to release your own. That's even worse!
It's hard because most languages do not help with that. There's not an easy option to get all the potential unhandled error sites for a code base. Even in Rust you can sprinkle your code full of "?" and you transformed back into runtime errors. Which is okay, if you understand it. It'd be great if such programming decisions could be annotated, then when someone imports a library it'd be easy to get a human readable list of potential runtime errors (edge cases).

But usually when it's time to just churn out yet another app, cost-benefit analysis indicates that fuck that, let's use pokemon error handling.

And it's hard to blame anyone for such a decision when the alternative is going a few more days without the shiny new app/feature. The end of the financial quarter is coming. The app/feature must "work".

And that's why it's not surprising that no one uses Coq and Idris for run of the mill business as usual apps.
It's not a good heuristic for unique opinions -- sure (see: LinkedIn, the most horrifyingly boring social network feed). But it is if you want to filter out hate speech, which a lot of people do.

But my point is not real photos/names as the be-all, end-all. How about many heuristics, and let users filter accordingly? All this data available and none of it is used to improve the user experience, at least as far as I can tell.
I use https://twitterfall.com/ as my main interface for Twitter It just streams downward from the top, no need to refresh. It's not pretty but I like it.

Also, I don't recognize the issues lots of people have with Twitter, because I mostly only see the original tweets and only follow mostly sensible people that post interesting stuff (scientists, AI & robotics folks, tech journalists, some space exploration accounts).
Be happy that today it's not life on this planet or the universe itself that is at stake. ;)

In my experience, there are primarily three kinds of people that regularly claim there's a lot on the line, and it doesn't matter what their political views are. 1) young people that are inexperienced, 2) people that need to feel good about fighting for something important, and 3) people that exploit the other two by appealing to that. It's a good tactic to motivate your base, but like crying wolf, it loses it's effectiveness when done too often.
Telegram is a cess pool of piracy and porn. Wonder why the government is silent about that? Because it isn't e2e encrypted and the powers-that-be can mine data out of it? Spread propaganda?

The point is, where does the buck stop? After having forked the internet? The current right-wing Indian government is rampant with its moral policing both on the ground (banning beef, banning couples from having consensual sex unless they are married) and on the interwebs (banning games like PubG, banning porn, attacking free speech by indicting individuals speaking against the govt or the Prime Minister), so the current ban on TikTok suits the pattern to a tee.

The elections are on-going right now, and it'd be interesting to see if people vote back in the incumbent to power again. Now, that'd be some mandate and a GFW would be a well deserved eventual reward.
Effort to rebuild Notre-Dame could get help from unlikely source: A video game
The article mentions unsafe more than once, and specifically says:

"I do not intend to tackle the difficult problem of interaction between unsafe and safe Rust code; Rustbelt is the correct way to do it."

The statement you quoted is clearly in the implied context of safe code.
Hmm, is that true for any EU nation? I'm almost sure it's not true for the Czech Republic. At least our politicians are using it as an argument nearly every day and no one had yet made that point.
>in a super trendy style //

This suggests it was supposed to be fashionable. But fashion in the modern world is "trendy" we build in an attempt to court popularity. I'd imagine Notre-Dame adopted the style it did as part of the linear architectural development, constrained by Church tradition, and needs, and liberated by new building techniques. Not built for fashion, but for longevity and utility as a place of Worship. Perhaps that's why it centred around a traditional (in C11) Romanesque cruciform plan with tower. Indeed the initial build - I gather - didn't include the flying buttresses that enable the "opening" of the walls to far more glass usage.

IMO Notre-Dame de Paris represents something of a pinnacle of Church architecture inasmuch as we don't devote that much manpower or that many resources to buildings nowadays. That's right morally, I think, but means short of Gaudi's ongoing build such opulent Church architecture is firmly fixed in the past for Europe at least(?).

It would be fascinating to see a Gothic cathedral built in modern Europe, do we even have the craftsmen to accomplish it?

TL;DR I'm not convinced.
Look - Jack makes money of pushing upsetting content into everybody's feeds. It pushes up the enragement numbers.

Can Indoor Farming Ameliorate Agriculture Problems?
Yah, it's kind of hard to show the magnitude of the spillway and the repair work in a few pictures.

Juan (blancolirio) posed a very good time-lapse/montage (including footage from the DWR) that shows the entire repair project. The audio has comments from Keiwit's executive project director of the repair project about the insane amount of material and work that was needed.

I think there's a lot to say about this. I feel that today's Zeitgeist doesn't favour radical renewal. It feels like it's quite anxious and conservative as a whole. We're unsure about the future and what direction to go as a species. And as often before we look for comfort in our ancestors.
The rationale has more merit for a regime that considers facts illegitimate tools of western degeneracy and aggression while waging its own cyber war than for one that wants to work for cyber peace.
Despite that you know there will always be some conflict.

Linux Server Hardening Using Idempotency with Ansible: Part 3
I think Disney+ will be a good counter to the content offering from Netflix. The current issue I have with Netflix original content is that at any point the shows can transition into a porno. Their content seems to be unnecessarily crude and grotesque at times. For example in Sacred Games there are scenes, shown with details, where a guy's finger is chopped off or when a guy in a wheel chair is run over by a truck. This becomes super embarrassing when you have friends over and just put on something on the TV. Disney's family friendly approach should appeal to the demographic of people watching content with larger groups of people.
> the shareholder paying their dividend tax rate. Not capital gains.

In theory, dividends and stock buybacks perform the same function. Because stock buybacks have more favorable tax implications (capital gains instead of income), they are often favored by institutional investors (who also like the added liquidity).
"User engagement" is not a single, well-defined, easily measurable thing.

For one thing, it's easy for A/B tests to show something that looks good in the short term, but has longer-term negative effects. If your goal is to iterate quickly and stop your test as soon as you think it shows a positive result, you'll never see that.

But more to the point, there's no guarantee that the "user engagement" metrics Twitter cares about are actually a proxy for what users really want. If it takes me more time and more clicks to find the information I want -- enough to be annoying, but not quite enough to drive me away from the site -- that probably gets counted as "engagement".
Looking at examples of syntax for pre/post-conditions and invariants, it's all Rust expressions inside strings. Is there no other way for an attribute to have some associated inline code? Strings are not optimal for this, because they break tooling (syntax highlighting, code completion and navigation, refactoring etc).
No, they can't do that, because then they'd have to retrain the pilots, or maybe even have a different type rating, which would make them uncompetitive against the Airbus and Bombardier planes.

Remember, profits are more important than passengers' lives.
Speed and accuracy may be the wrong metrics to focus on as they don't necessarily account for ergonomics. On the other hand the brief mention that it feels better to touch type should probably be seen as an indicator warning to the author that perhaps their self-taught method may be anti-ergonomic. If so, the author should maybe consider the switch to avoid future pain/trouble.

(My self-taught form was an "float" of sorts with my right hand travelling a lot to compensate for a left-shifted left hand, which favored the modifier keys. I very much believe that I was very close to needing RSI surgery in grad school, and am very glad I relearned to touch type.)
There does appear to be a normalization going on, though; in my line of work (F500 consulting), I’ve seen multiple examples of prominent tattoos on both the consultant and client/buyer side (mostly tribal sleeve/neck ink on men). It’s still unusual enough to remark on, but I suspect in a decade or so will either be completely unremarkable, or else the slightly-embarrassing if harmless remnants of a dated fad.
"Interest-based" is basically what Reddit does well. If you're reading the accordion subreddit and some users there are also interested in politics or crypto or whatever, you're not going to see their other stuff. (On the other hand, you also don't learn about their other interests.)

On Twitter, I follow people who post good stuff sometimes, but they also post other stuff that's irrelevant. Worse, I see stuff they "like" which is often inflamatory.
I love this accidental "does free will exist?" discussion.

pretendscholar is asserting that because it will happen, it must happen. You're arguing that it need not despite the fact that it will.
No, they knowingly complied with individual users' data requests from the FBI. That is not leaking. You seem to believe PRISM has access to a lot more data than it actually does.

Greenwald, out of an abundance of incompetence, believed that DITU was a device in the companies' datacenters. DITU is a division of the FBI, not a device.

Edit: downvotes are causing hn to prevent me from responding, but the sibling comment from Anechoic is also wrong. That is not what the slide shows. The linked slide shows that PRISM ingested data legally obtained by the FBI.
Why would we use the market as a barometer for who won the deal? The market doesn't have a great track record for being right.
"As estimators gain more experience, their estimating skills improve. So throw away any velocities older than, say, six months."

I don't know how Spolsky is (was) as a boss, but it's is way easier to just adjust your time reports according to the estimates and make your boss happy than to actually try for no benefits to either you or the project. As long as the estimation errors are white noise-ish and in linear relation to actual task length, which is the assumption for his model to work, manipulated time reporting and not manipulated make no difference.

I've noticed that when programmers are introduced to Agile they initially are bad at time estimates until they learn that you actually can report time according to the estimates and no-one will ever notice. Extra points for looking on the burndown chart before reporting time to make it smooth.

"Some developers (like Milton in this picture) may be causing problems because their ship dates are so uncertain: they need to work on learning to estimate better. Other developers (like Jane) have very precise ship dates that are just too late: they need to have some of their work taken off their plate."

Milton is probably doing fair estimates. When planning four months into the future you probably can say where you are within 2 months with 50% probability (or what ever boxplot he uses) of where you think you will be at that time. Janes reporting is obviously manipulated to match the estimates.
Maybe the parent's point is that AAPL could buy QCOM outright three times over with cash on hand alone, so nothing could possibly move Apple's needle much anymore, except sales or lack thereof.
Why? Just because the console can output at 8K doesn't mean games will. The PS3 supported 1080p output but you can probably count on one hand the number of games who rendered at that resolution.
You are expecting someone to say "do this, do that"? This is the opposite of responsibility. One possible responsible way is to learn how the natural biotope in your area looks like and then apply it to your problem. This does not mean to leave some ugly "natural" pit unusable for you there. Instead, recognize ways how nature fights erosion, and then combine stones or permeable pavement with the same plants that do it naturally.

How to muster the courage... I don't know, that's very personal. But it's encouraging to know humans communicated in this manner with their natural environment for thousands of years.
Yes, it is very close but still not completely overwhelmed with tourists as the Colosseum is.
> Networks are trying to move away from long tail content

This concisely expresses many of my misgivings with the Internet today. Things have been dumbed down and often cater to the lowest common denominator that people share. Evolutionarily speaking, it's chasing after low-hanging fruit (cheap and easy) and then hyper-optimizing for it to the point that it's all that remains. The problem is that it's sterile and dumbed down.

I don't like that we can't customize things or get out of the sandbox anymore now that everything has been siloed. With email and RSS we could construct filters and programmatically access our data. We could change the interface, query, backup, share.

The platform powers that be are dictating how today's internet works. They're taking away our browser tech (Chrome everywhere, increasingly without add-ons). We can't export our data in meaningful formats.

This is the hell future 1990's Microsoft could only dream of.
The more pixels you throw at font rendering, the better. It also allows for cleaner upscaling from lower resolutions. However, those two uses are needed more on computer monitors, not TVs.

You are right that most folks with 50-65" TVs at 2-3 meters don't benefit from anything higher than 1080p.

I think in someone else's link there was a figure about the rejected 2005 improvements to the emergency spillway being $100M. I don't know if that's correct, if there would have been overruns in cost, if that's inflation adjusted, or if that would have even prevented the 2017 crisis.

I briefly looked it up, and found some information correlating this under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oroville_Dam_crisis#Timeline_o...
The funny thing with the internet is that the content really doesn't ntake up that much space/speed. It's the ads and trackers. So that's why the industry is lobbying for that.

Also, We still haven't even hit theoretical 3g speeds. But reallocation of spectrum is a quick easy way to get there without doing the work.
GLFW, SDL, and SFML are on a scale from "lightweight" to "heavyweight". SFML is, by far, the largest, heaviest, and most opinionated of the three.

GLFW is not much more than platform abstraction for multimedia (windows, input, OpenGL/Vulkan context creation, timing). Notably it is missing any kind of audio support, but you probably want to ues FMOD, Wwise, or iirKlang anyway.

SDL is all of that, plus various utilities for porting and some platform abstractions that are no longer needed. For example, logging, assertions, blitting, endian conversion, file abstraction, threads and atomics. There are a few associated helper libraries designed to work with SDL, like SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer. These are optional.

SFML is all of that, plus the interface is written in C++, there's all sorts of things like sprite drawing, texture loading, and audio systems mixed in, plus a bunch of extra random functionality like HTTP clients, OpenGL wrappers, etc.

SDL is the oldest of the three. My perspective is that if you look at SDL and think, "Wow, this does a lot of stuff that is kind of weird and old, maybe I don't need all of that", then you would invent GLFW. If you looked at SDL and thought, "I want something bigger, more, more, more, with a C++ interface, consume the world!" Then you would invent SFML.

I have some strong opinions here, which are probably coming across. I see developers who say, "I want to make games, that means low-level, so I'm going to learn Win32," and I try to prevent them from wasting time learning APIs, steering them towards one of these libraries. On the other hand, I think SFML is a big mess that tries to do everything, and it's a lesson in why it's easy to make bad C++ APIs. I mean, jeez, it has "class RectangleShape" which inherits from "Shape" which inherits from "Drawable". It makes me want to puke.

Because Apple said to customers that it would be impossible for Apple to get data off the phone. The simple technique in the FBI's request showed that to be a lie.

See the "not technically feasible" marketing claim quoted on https://gizmodo.com/apple-wont-turn-over-your-phones-data-to... that has magically disappeared from the linked "privacy" page.
The master key already exists. It is the key used to sign builds.

Edit: downvotes of easily verifiable facts are causing hn to block me from responding. At the time Apple made the false marketing claims, no passcode was required to install a signed build. Hence, the FBI's request.

The FBI was asking for no more than what Apple could already do, and it was letting Apple control the whole process. The problem was that what Apple could already do disagreed with what Apple told its customers that it could do.
DataCamp, the Teacher Gave You an F
Because as a CEO you dont want to wake up every day to headlines that you are profiting off exploitation of children / nazis / hatecrimes. A probabilistic filter of best effort moderation does not cut it from a CEOs point of view. The world at large and the media makes a huge hue and cry (often for justifiable reasons) when objectionable hateful content is found on a large network. If you are a CEO you want to bring the possibility of that down to zero. The only way to do that is via dealing with large established players with whom you have signed contracts. Reddit does get this right more than most other places but there are parts of Reddit that Jack might not want to defend in front of Congress. In fact more than Congress, there is an even bigger constituency - advertisers like Kelloggs, Disney, Cadburys. These tier1 brands want a family friendly image and dont want their content shown next to anything possible objectionable. Jacks job is to reassure Disney that their ad will never run next to a tweet that propagates hate crime. How does Jack give this guarantee?

But was it funded by that organization? I was under the impression that big projects like cathedrals were used by the church as essentially huge visible PR projects, which attracted funding from people who wanted to be seen to donate (providing PR for themselves). Some of the funding might also have been siphoned off to the church itself, I can imagine.

This pattern continues today – witness the speed at which funding for rebuilding has been publicly pledged by people wishing to be widely seen to do so.
