I like to make my own dictionaries for texts I'm studying. I sort all the words, uniq them, and create a word list containing every word in the text I'm studying.

Then, I pipe each word entry through sdcv, with my favourite dictionaries enabled, and create a glossary specifically for the text in study.

Then as I study the text, and encounter strange and unfamiliar words, I use my glossary to gain understanding. If something doesn't quite seem right, I consult other dictionary entries for the word in question - this is often because its a technical phrase or term.

This has helped me immensely to understand texts before I even start reading them.
tag are not immutable, but images (manifests) are. Much like git commit vs branches/tags. That is why best practice is to resolve docker image tag into "@sha256:..." digest and pull that, instead of tag. It guarantees that image you are pulling stays byte to byte the same.
I've been messing around with an Arduino this week to make my own IoT device. It has enough power to negotiate a https connection, so presumably it could run SSH and Vim. I think they are very efficient in terms of power usage.

There's no evidence that phones cause cancer (nor impotence). It's a reasonable assumption to make, but the evidence doesn't back it up:

> The only consistently recognized biological effect of radiofrequency radiation in humans is heating. The ability of microwave ovens to heat food is one example of this effect of radiofrequency radiation. Radiofrequency exposure from cell phone use does cause heating to the area of the body where a cell phone or other device is held (e.g., the ear and head). However, it is not sufficient to measurably increase body temperature. There are no other clearly established effects on the human body from radiofrequency radiation.

> millimeter waves (extremely high frequencies)

That sounds weird. It's a much higher frequency than "UHF" ("ultra high frequency"... radio), but the wavelength of red is over a thousand times shorter. I think of "high frequencies" as being UV and beyond.

Knowing the hash algorithm, work factor and salting details would be helpful in knowing whether or not passwords may be compromised. This should be standard information given in a breach, rather than just whether passwords were hashed.

Though, as they say that passwords need changing, we can safely assume that their salting, hashing and work factor were insufficient and not following best practice. Just like the lack of 2FA.
It is very nearly impossible to sue police departments, even when they kill people. It’s not the same as going after a wrongful citizen’s arrest. Police have greater protections against malpractice, as a rule.

To sue the non-profit makes much more sense, because the non-profit can be punished with injunctions, or even dissolved and prevented from operating.

It wasn’t “forbidden”. Don’t editorialize in the headline.
Don't most dictionaries do this to an extent? A description, a pronunciation guide then an example or two?

In the world of digital books though, you would be able to freatpy expand upon those examples(and even including blurbs about the usage of said word).

The industry filters first against people who don't want to crunch or to move: the old hands of game development are almost uniformly workaholics and willing to uproot themselves to a new country for each gig. They are numb to these particular pains. But most people are not, and it shows in the turnover numbers.

The second promise that keeps people in tends to be built around having multiple tiers of employee: the ordinary worker, and the lead/senior/director/etc. - where the higher rank gets more sway and less vulnerability to layoffs, as they are the "core" of the studio identity, and as a core member they hold some more bargaining power and creative freedom. Most of the employees are there to fill in the ordinary stuff - the small props, environmental details, and minor features.

Even with the programmers this holds true: the core technology groups of the large publishers tend to be at some distance from the teams working on a product. These top level people are also the folks that can most easily crossover from high-profile tech in games to high-profile tech in another field. Many of the people who write shipping code that is not the core engine(customized gameplay features, event scripts, etc.) get positioned - willingly or no - as specialized grunt labor, making a career move harder later. There's a lot of little stuff shaping narratives here.

On that note, one of the things that is on the table for game unionization efforts is standardization of job titles.
The black box is more mysterious to me. I had a client for whom I managed a G-Suite account with a custom domain name. The domain was not on a blacklist, and things generally worked well.

One day a colleague and I discovered that he had not received some of my emails (intra-domain - me@example.com to him@example.com).

This is all within the confines of Google. Google had flagged some messages as spam, and by what determination I could not fathom. The content seemed perfectly typical.

I have had really pleasant experiences with G-Suite human support, at least in terms of the quality of interaction. But they could not answer why some intra-domain emails were being flagged as spam. I have suspicions that it would take a whole team of G engineers to maybe identify what bit of logic in their systems (incorrectly) marked some of the emails as spam.

It seems the beast (automation) is just almost not under their control anymore.
I have a couple of websites generated from databases. Each has around half a million pages of unique content. The first one was indexed in like a week at 100K/day, almost instant tsunami of traffic. The second one is being indexed at 100-1000 pages per day, it's been years.

Google works in mysterious ways.

CoinBase is a terribly run company. I had the pleasure of using them for 6 months. Their support does not exist. Half of the transactions are held for a few days. The reason why they are still running is that they got the license to operate such business in many states. The moment someone offers the same but with actual support... their business will suffer.

We're brought up in this hierarchical system where you're told you're supposed to be churning through the meat grinder of competition and failure and growth every day or you're a worthless nonhuman waste of space. Most people have a very hard time saying no to a manager no matter what is asked from them when this is the only system they've ever known.
The fix for that is to wear boxers though. Or not wear anything at all. Your phone is receiving most of the time. And when it transmits it does so very briefly and coalesces background transmissions into a single burst to conserve battery. There's just not enough transmit power to heat anything up, and even if there was, blood would carry the heat away quite readily.

To me, it seems like vocabulary definitely has an effect. My native tongue is Finnish, but I find it easier to discuss (and think) some things in English because English has more specific vocabulary in certain areas. It's not that is impossible to express these things in Finnish, but it sort of feels uncomfortable.

It's also difficult to separate a language from its culture, so that might be another reason it feels so compelling to think that languages influence your thoughts.

My internal thoughts switch between Finnish, English and sometimes Japanese depending on context.
Agreed - I’m ready to completely move away from Windows and it’s insane telemetry and patches to Apple but the only thing stopping me is the MacBook keyboard.

Exactly this. For the docker images we use in production, we fork the corresponding git repo, build our own image and push it to our own local docker registry and pull it from there. It's fairly easy to setup in fact.
Which effectively nobody does. Package managers and distribution packaging systems default to the safe method rather then defaulting to insecure rewritable tags.

To be fair, the docker.io/library/* images are signed but no other images are and there are a bunch of issues with how the signing policies work for users that want to enforce that some images must be signed.

What makes no sense to me about this blocking scenario is that the pages being searched for are presumably non-commercial ones that no one else is searching for. In other words, they are in low demand.

It follows that a monopoly search engine would have little reason to block "robots" from copying these pages, maybe to appear on some mythical competing search engine; almost no one is searching for them. The results pages would have dubious value in terms of attracting advertisers. They would not be seen by enough eyeballs.

With all the financial and technical resources it now has at its disposal as a result of selling advertising, this search engine still cannot accomodate the user who intently scans through page after page of results, looking for the needle in the haystack. Instead it prides itself at "knowing what people are searching for", i.e. what they have searched in the past, thus being able to offer fast, "intuitive" responses.

It may be that the search engine was designed and is optimised to prioritize repeat queries, i.e., searches for pages that are sought by numerous people. It may also be true that it has been configured to "limit" the resources it will devote to searches for pages that few people are seeking. Perhaps through CAPTCHAs and/or temporary IP bans.

Practically speaking, it could be that there are no significant advertising sales to be made on the results pages for queries that are being submitted by only one or a very small numbers of users.

This is all pure speculation of course.

Yes, there are risks in foresight and avoidance. Drivers can swerve into oncoming traffic and so forth. However I posit that for every driver that swerves into danger there are scores or more who swerve out of harm's way.

The point of my post was that I did not foresee, nor did almost anyone, but we were idealistic and as a community we had not had the pervasive impact that Computer Science has now had on people's lives. We now have a far greater resource, experience and responsibility to innovate responsibly and with care. Delinquent and careless research that creates harm is unacceptable.

I wonder, can you make an argument that Bitcoin is like an index akin to S&P, but for gambling and hedging against events like asset seizure or state currency failure?

First let's assume that fundamentals remain unchanged. No innovation, no growth in adoption, no major security failures. Let's also assume that the rough percentage of world populations willing to gamble remains roughly the same over the decades. BTC is deflationary, private keys will keep getting lost indefinitely. So wouldn't it make sense for the price of Bitcoin to at least keep up with inflation, forever?

I am seriously irritated by this article and wonder how it got past the desk of the Economist’s editors. The gist of it is that horses are complex, emotional animals. My six year old niece knows that. The writer comes to this conclusion after consulting with a number of charlatans about her daughter’s horse that exhibits puzzling behavior. Some of these types do not even do as much as touch said animal to draw their detailed conclusions. Why on green earth would someone (a) trust these people (b) write a story about that (c) publish a story like this (d) post it on HN?

Can someone explain to me what I am missing here?
The majority of the power in a smartphone is used to light up the screen. If your phone is in your pocket, it's a reasonable assumption that the screen is turned off.

It's not impossible, but the phone would have to be quite inefficient to have any measurable effect. Laptops are probably a bigger problem if you keep them in your lap regularly, since in that scenario they do operate at full power close to your scrotum.
The base station transmits with higher power and much more frequently than your cell phone does (unless you are the only one served by the tower and tx more than rx for some reason). If you are concerned about radiation from telcom / cell, living near a base station is a bad idea.

I've written about the Wells Fargo issue before, here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15562850

You can remove your phone number from your account to disable the security-defeating manner of how WF allows telephone 2FA to override the physical OTP 2FA.

I am still baffled that Wells Fargos effectively eliminates any security benefit of the RSA-style OTP 2FA token devices by allowing telephone/SMS authentication as an alternative at login-time. It's like they don't understand security or they don't care.
It's a shame that IRC usage is dwindling especially in techie circles. However I can understand it if it doesn't work for them any more although in my opinion IRC has a lot of moderation tools available. In any case, the "problem", of sorts, is not abandoning IRC but what comes next. The web is choke full of proprietary communication protocols that cannot talk to each other and you have private entities acting as gateways to online communication. Instead on relying on protocols and let clients decide how they connect to the network you have users being herded into walled "communication" gardens. This goes beyond Slack or Discord or chat-app-of-the-month. Having a flagship open-source project behind a proprietary platform for communicating with the users and developers can't help but leave a sour taste in the mouth.

Well, at least there is still Matrix to hope for.

I don't understand. There's radiation around, so we shouldn't worry about radiation?

The fusion reaction is obviously is less powerful to our receivers than 5G, otherwise we'd not have 5G. UV is obviously more powerful to our DNA than telcom, otherwise we'd all have noticed an increase in melanoma on our thighs and ears.

The TLDR made my curious: "Arrow functions are fine for certain usages, but they have so many variations that they need to be carefully controlled to not break down the readability of the code."

I tried to skim the article for the point the author wants to make. I got "arrow functions are not like functions, they are different, the author doesn't hate them by themselves".

Still curious due to the TLDR, i wanted to spot some examples. At the very end, there are some, but apparently those are related to a new plugin? Wait, what?

Still not giving up, I find a section somewhere in the middle: "But I'm not here to rehash the entire debate over => arrow functions. I've written extensively about my opinions on them, including these sections in my books: ..."

Found this quite frustrating. In order to be fair when writing this comment i forced myself to really read most of the paragraphs, and my first impression seems to hold.

The two links provided in the article get to the point, though, and quite to my liking as well.

I guess i'm missing some context here, just wanted to give some feedback.

I don't know about healthy or productive, but I am fairly certain that IRC is safe.

What worries me is that 'safe' has become a bit of a euphemism to mean 'unchallenging,' and what this really means is that the organisation which booted Brendan Eich really wants to unperson anyone who blasphemes this week's orthodoxies.
