Let’s stop acting like caring about this is a sign of being a prima donna, or chasing shiny things.

Programming languages are basically the same. They’re abstractions over what a CPU does. It makes sense to choose the one that offers the greatest number of options professionally.

There is no particular honor in sticking with a language after most others have moved on. We’re all just building stuff that’s gonna get thrown in a ditch sooner or later anyway.

Use CF, go nuts, do whatever you want. But do it because you want to or for some actual reason, not because it isn’t Node. I’m getting tired of seeing this kind of stuff.

It's curious how 16 year olds are regarded as incompetent to handle a loot box, but should be given voting rights.
Unfortunately the unemployment statistics that they base this on are a bit wonky.
You are now classified as employed if you work 1 hour a month. You are not classified as unemployed if you are not actively looking for work. Many unemployed give up after a while.

I grew up in New Orleans. My advice is a cold shower before bed, don't sleep under a sheet, being skinny helps too - fat's an insulator. If you've got a lot of that then I suggest, in the most non-judgemental way possible, that you do what you can to change that.

Get a breeze going through the room if you can, open windows in two different walls or something, the air outside may be hot but it's still better to have it moving.
Workers hanging is a thing that happens everywhere. (You might not have enough resources if it's happening often, though.)

You should design the workers so that what needs to happen still happens in the event of expected failures, or so that it at least fails gracefully and with a useful paper trail. Failures happen, good engineering anticipates and plans around them.

For example, you could schedule up to three attempts spaced at least five minutes apart, set a timeout on jobs so they don't stay open indefinitely (appearing to hang), have jobs that still fail get routed to a dead queue, and make sure worker code behaves appropriately in response to internal errors and improper input data (such as getting an HTTP error or unexpected MIME type) while logging any unexpected states for later review. Most of the point of a library like Celery is that it makes common strategies like these easier to implement.

You mentioned in a reply that the jobs are requests to external websites. The rate of errors from that is going to be like a thousand times all other sources of jobs not completing as expected unless something is hella weird with your setup.
How would he not? Are you really arguing that someone with D.E. Shaw and Princeton on his resume would be in the same position as, in your words, a "typical minimum wage worker"?

Even ignoring the signaling value of D.E. Shaw and Princeton, are you arguing that the wealth he'd accumulated in his career up till that point is comparable to that of the "typical minimum wage worker"?

Then are you arguing that a hedge fund manager and a "typical minimum wage worker" face the same relative risk when they invest the same amount of money? In other words, are you saying that someone who has 110,000 dollars in savings and someone who has 11,000 dollars in savings face the same risk if they both invest 10,000 dollars?
To be fair, the growing numbers of CrossFit athletes alone could describe the growing numbers of injuries. If e.g. 10x as many people do CrossFit than do handball, they will account for a majority of injuries.
Last I checked there wasn’t CrossFit for basketball. You should compare apples to apples. How does it stack up against (trained) non-CrossFit weight training?

Judging by how those idiots abuse gym equipment I’d expect poorly, but prove me wrong.
Ask HN: Twitter account hacked (via mobile # hacked first), help?
Hi HN,
today my t-mobile account has been hacked (due to a very poor security practice at T-mobile... long story short, someone changed my SIM card without my consent, and without inputing my PIN), and consequently my Twitter account has been hacked too.

I tried for hours but didn't find any way to contact Twitter's support directly, or to restore my account (email has been changed, of course).

Anybody has a friend at Twitter? Or, do you know what to do in these cases?

Thanks in advance for your help.

p.s. It seems that T-mobile cannot be sued for damage at all, because of the arbitration agreement made possible by Scalia.

I don't care about getting money for the disruption; but without significant monetary incentives, I fear that T-mobile won't do a thing to fix their security issues.
> One limitation of that thought experiment is that it assumes defection is guaranteed to achieve a certain outcome.

That's a premise, and it's what creates the dillema in the first place.

> Furthermore, once you start playing multiple times with the same players, you establish an algebra of trust that also drastically changes the game. The ability to influence other players between rounds also changes the game.

Actually, the wikipedia article on the dilemma discusses this. The nash equilibrium is actually for all players to defect. There is no engendered trust. [1]

Oh come on this is all gambling by another name. We know it's addictive. Not only that, it makes games worse. A game targeting children is one that doesn't have a M rating. The idea that we as a society are too incompetent to tell the difference between lootboxes as they exist in something like Dota2, Rocket League, etc and "random loot tables" is absurd on its face.

These systems are designed to be predatory and entice people to spend more and more money chasing certain items with low drop rates. It has no place in games at all, much less those targeting towards children.
Unless I'm missing something, that means her continued incarceration is by her own choice.
The only case I can think of that matters is support/sales calls. If their phone staff does not have dedicated office space at home, it's a bit hard to organise. You can have at least small dividers in the office so that the background noise you hear over the phone is other calls, mostly quiet. I think it would be a different experience if I was handling incoming calls - even with a dedicated office room, I'd get anything like a bus passing by, lawnmowers, cats screaming to go out, rain on metal roof, etc.
Circulating money is a good thing. Stagnant money not so much.
Video startup times are kept low in modern clients by starting at low bitrates and then seamless adaptation up. This is very important for advertising companies, social media, live streams, etc. Every second of startup time cost massive user loss in live streaming (this is well researched and documented). Additionally streaming protocols (HLS/DASH) force files to be encoded such that a full download is not required for a decode to happen. This is not a requirement (and pretty rare unless you know what you are doing with an encoder) for file based workflows.

Fast forward for low power clients relies on an "iframe only" track as there decoders can't do many x realtime decode. This is not present in modern file based work flows.

Seeks use the same startup/segmentation requirements as video startup.

Thumbnail scrubbing requires a thumbnail track and is not supported by file based workflows at all.

Clip previews on sites load at low resolution/bitrates and can be poped up to "full resolution" via ABR. Doing a preview of 10x 4k streams without abr wouldn't work even on a modern gaming rig.

I'd love to hear how you'd do SSAI on top of a file based workflow.

You could of course build a "file based" implementation that had all of these features, but you would just be rebuilding DASH or HLS.
Don't even start me on Uncle Rhabdo, a cartoon character that CrossFit used to say "if you weren't causing your body damage, you weren't working out hard enough". Rhabdomyolisis is a serious injury with potentially life threatening or life lasting consequences. The idea that a fitness fad would make light of it so astound me.
I think you're thinking of Pavel Tsatsouline that promoted the kettlebell in the west. Crossfit came much later.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Raymond Scott never wrote music _for_ cartoons. His early music was used in cartoons some time later because it turned out to be an excellent fit, but at the time I believe his stated intention was to 'improve jazz'.

Great music regardless. There's a cool version of War Dance for Wooden Indians with indian dancers on YouTube.
It is not disingenuous. Many crossfit exercises are complex as you correctly observe and require a good bit of practice before you can do them w/ any substantial weight.

A layman should not do them w/out instruction and a good coach will not let laymen do regular workouts until they have mastered the basics.

A good coach also observes a new student's abilities and advises them how to scale the movement properly as they progress. A bad coach does not.

for the same reasons, you should never attempt Olympic weightlifting movements w/out a coach, i.e. snatch and clean+jerk. In fact, I feel pretty strongly you should not learn how to squat or deadlift w/out a coach or personal trainer.

Well, considering you could get certified as a CF instructor in a weekend session, I am entirely unsurprised.
As someone working in academia, I'm fine with them attacking academia. There are a lot of objectively bad studies out there and sponsorships that shouldn't happen. Most professors don't care about open access or benefitting humanity, just playing the tenure politics game. There's some room for criticism between being head-in-the-sand anti-vax and blindly worshipping the journal-industrial complex. Academia needs to be taken down a few notches.
The fundamentals of Crossfit are entirely sound. A warmup followed by some subset of bodyweight exercises, calisthenics, rowing, running, climbing, and (olympic) weightlifting is a completely reasonable fitness regimen. Being sensible is a matter of leveling the workout to your own particular circumstances: age and overall fitness being the two biggest factors.

But yeah I've also seen the videos on youtube of people doing heavy barbell back squats on a bosu ball and similar, to use the technical term, stupid shit that will get you hurt.

Mark Rippetoe has one of the better criticisms of CrossFit: it's just an exercise program, not a training program. Proof is that the athletes that compete in and win the Crossfit games don't actually do Crossfit to prepare, they have specific training regimens for those games.

It is not a matter of respect. U.S. trademark law applies in the U.S. and Chinese trademark law applies in China. The laws are just different.

The U.S. does more to protect a user of a mark who neglects to register. For example, there is a "Burger King" restaurant that used the mark prior to the well-known international chain. That business continues to use the mark for its restaurant and can even exclude the well-known company from a limited territory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_King_(Mattoon,_Illinois...

The Chinese system, by contrast, seems very unforgiving to a prior user who neglects to register.

The story you are quoting talks about how at the time when wikileaks was going to publish the john podesta email archive, he received another message about more financial information relating to hillary clinton campaign. The story appears to conflate the receiving of this message about financial documents with the prior public release of john podesta emails, using the Meuller report as evidence that this must be a hoax. I don't buy it. The email trove came before it and IMO is unrelated. We may never know, but this is not evidence.
Maybe, but CF regularly uses for workout of the day an acronym that escapes me for now that is basically "until exhaustion" (possibly "amrap" - as many repetitions as possible). So many of those is going to make you susceptible to injury, especially with their "keep going" mentality.
> no one complained when Samsung or LG copied Apple’s designs

Apple and Samsung were locked in a legal battle over this very issue and in several countries. It was massive news at the time (circa 2011-2012) and even went to the US Supreme Court.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Samsung_Electron....

And here is a sample of some of the discussion in the tech community.

https://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/04/18/2053241/apple-sues...

There were a lot of people angry at Apple (and some at Samsung). A common refrain at the time was "There are only so many ways you can design a rectangle."
> maybe, just maybe, we won't see "new"s or "delete"s in most future codebases?

I haven't seen 'new' or 'delete' in the wild for a decade now. (Well, except for various legacy libraries or student code on Github.)
Bodybuilding and powerlifting has been around for many years though and has more athletes than CrossFit. Powerlifting also uses a lot heavier weights but since the rules are extremely strict for form in competitive powerlifting, injuries are less common. Bodybuilding uses relatively lesser weights but focuses more on higher reps and symmetry for which you need good form. CrossFit tries to combine both - heavy weights and high reps which is a recipe for injury. Either do heavier weights and low reps or do relatively lighter weights and high reps. When they try to combine both, it leads to CrossFit type injuries. Add to that, your group of people yelling at you trying to motivate you into doing the 23rd rep on a poor back deadlift form and it gets even worse.

Since they've reimplemented the UI (like a game), I think the risk is more that it would start looking dated after a while.

Yea, usually motivation by your peers is a good thing but in CrossFit, it’s detrimental as it forces you to stop listening to your own body because of peer pressure.

What's hilarious about using momentum to progress to a muscle up and eventually a strict muscle up?

In my observation, and this is at many gyms (btw I don't do Crossfit), very few people do every rep of a pull up from a true dead hang. Kipping is silly looking, but the technique does allow you to progress your way into a muscle up, kind of like a push press can help you train your strict press past what you otherwise could.

Quantum mechanics mostly but with impacts in quantum computing. If you come from the computing side and want to tangentially back into quantum mechanics from the quantum computing side, I would highly recommend Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen's highly approachable intro to quantum computing which goes into surprising depth - https://quantum.country/qcvc

Once you feel like you have a good grasp, just dive into the deep end (why not?) with a pictorial survey of the geometry of quantum states - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.06688.pdf

Then see where the gaps are and decide if it's worth digging in deeper to understand this better :-)
> Across the rich world, wages below two-thirds of the national median are becoming rarer, not more common.

So... the median worker is making something closer to minimum wage than before?

Also, the article doesn’t talk about the fully employed rate:

What percentage of those leverage the education of the employee?

In smaller European countries it's even worse:

- Even though the minimum wage here is half that of the UK, for some reason Netflix is more expensive, and has less selection.

- They have no content in the official language of the country, not even subtitles. When you go to the cinema, movies are dubbed or have subtitles.

- They push a lot of Russian language content, even though most people under 35 don't speak it, and it is not even a semi official language.

> Academia has little scientific agenda at its core—most things boil down to money.

It's like you're right, but completely wrong at the same time... At it's core, scientific research should not have an agenda. Researchers are normally happy to do important things and they have good ideas.

Yes, the funding is a really big issue and lack of needed followups to interesting results of the initial sponsor often happens when the sponsor is not involved anymore. Researchers essentially either have to work for someone or come up with topics and then beg potentially-interested people for money. (aka research grants)

Academia being driven by money has less to do with academia and more with lack of money it needs to work on independent research.
No, don't tell them. Not because they will take it as a threat but because you will look quite silly if you do mention this. Recruiters scan LinkedIn for anybody that has even just a couple mention of the skills they are looking for and then send all the matches messages along if they're be interested in a new job.

If you had an actual job offer on the other hand then that would be a different story. Then you could reasonably say "I have had an offer for this much salary so please can you match that otherwise you are asking me to work below my market rate for you and although I like working here I don't think it's fair to ask that of me".
