Memorized openings just get you out of the gate in avoiding common pitfalls. Understanding why they work gets you a lot further. It's very similar to music in this way. Learning to play a song is a very different exercise from delving into music theory, improvising and composing other songs in the same form.

At IBM we used Lotus Notes as our shadow IT. Lotus Notes databases are just really ambitious excel spreadsheets and most of ours were written by self empowered excel hackers. It was kind of beautiful but as you might expect, a pain in the ass to maintain.

The algorithm already existed I just implemented it in js with a node server.
Terrible for the sewer systems though. Solve that problem for the general case and you can make some coin.
Can you explain what sleep privation is? It's pretty hard to google.
"If your ratio of down votes to up votes, falls below 50/50, then your comments will be hidden"

This is just Reddit (and I think HN) but even worse. At least with Reddit it's a certain threshold below 0 before it becomes hidden. With this system a single downvote would make comments hidden.

I think Slashdot is the closest to getting this right where you can (even if not a user) choose the thresholds in terms of score for abbreviating and hiding comments.
Your argument would make sense if sleep processes were being measured via EEG or similar means, but virtually all "sleep trackers" are just movement trackers; they're absolutely measuring a proxy that can be gamed.

Yep. Like. Humans?
Neither does calling it crypto, which stands for cryptography. Call it distributed ledger technology or blockchain for specific popular variations.
IMHO Considered Harmful
Yes.

These algorithms (Grisu, Ryu, ...) all satisfy the "internal identity requirement", which means that they can print a double and read it back in to the same double.

The harder part is to also produce the shortest of all possible string-representations. (And then picking the closest if there are many).
The signature is the proof!
I found CBD to provide temporary relief - I think my depression was inflammation related. The world is still dark and compressed but also comfortable, like the dark corners fill with algae and the ground with grass.

What ended up working was improving my oral posture and articulation using ortothropics and self-developed speech exercises (the important part is having designed the exercises yourself). Suddenly it's vastly easier to maintain correct spinal alignment and breathing. Depression is just an emotion again.

I supplement fish oil, gradeschool-tier mathematics and meditation, from Vigyan Bhairava Tantra.
Between the environmental impact mentioned here and the meteoric rise of ransomware that crypto currency has caused, I have a hard time believing that it is a net positive overall.

Wow. Not a lawyer, but I can tell you that clause and their explanation are BS. The whole mortgage system doesn’t work if a bank can repo a house irrespective of payment on the loan. And the inheritance thing is long solved: any heir would inherit the property with the (legit) mortgage repo rights attached to it, so they wouldn’t be able to escape the loan repayment obligation either.

Fortunately, I doubt a judge would uphold that provision and find that you were forced into it for exactly the reason you gave.
I see lots of manganese, but you would need to be consuming truly absurd amounts of syrup for the magnesium in maple syrup to amount to much. It says it has 11% of your DV in a cup, which is also 840kcal of mostly sugar
I've been able to lucid dream on a few occasions. What I really want is the ability to vividly imagine constructions while awake. Like design an A/C motor in my head without paper. Not to that degree but those fuzzy concepts that you loosely feel the connections of, I'd like to be able to 'draw it out' in my mind and use those visuals to work out other aspects.
I've done a roadtrip from Montreal to Atlanta in a Model S, back in 2015. I've found that by the time the battery runs low, you're due for a break anyway, so it doesn't really change the way you travel that much.
rain is pretty hard to predict though. I guess what matters the most is if you can reliably predict major events like heavy storms rather than if you will get a bit wet later today.
The problem with omemo, jingle, etc. is that you have makes sure that the XMPP components you use support them. It would be fine if all popular implementations support those features, but that's not the case.

So you can't just say, let's use XMPP. You have to be very specific and make sure people use the right versions.

You can say that Prosody is easy. I don't find the following list easy: https://prosody.im/doc/modules

And you probably need 'Component "conference.example.org" "muc"' for any kind of 'room' support.

The the next question, does prosody have the equivent of federated rooms in matrix. Here is a list of XMPP extensions in the documentation:
https://www.prosody.im/doc/xeplist

I guess the answer is, there are no federated rooms in prosody.

Another question is whether it is possible to send someone an XMPP message when that person is offline. I have no idea how to search for that.
Good. There are way too many distros anyway.
I’m also one where magnesium has almost magical positive effects on my sleep. When I started getting some anxiety several years ago, taking magnesium before bed was the only thing that kept me both asleep at night and sleeping deeply. I still take it often to get deeper sleep. I’ve always taken the citrate type.

Do you know why Mg helps you so much?
that should be fairly trivial to implement if they are indeed using unity. i agree it would be cool to have, additionally it would allow for local multiplayer which is always still the best way to enjoy these things imho =]
Maybe it was just cheaper to feed them with the food imported via the port than transport other supplies for them from the countryside.
"all those self-help books"? Which ones? Are you implying that these self-help books don't work? It seems like the quality of self-help books can vary widely so it seems strange to generalize about all of them.
One of the real differences with Rome, over previous major civilizations, was that they had a quite established class system.

They worked hard to establish a strong middle class, which is arguably what fueled the majority of the Roman Empire's growth. The rich class also learned that a strong middle class meant lots of taxes, and thus lots of money in the upper government. This money fueled their expansion, construction of major monuments, and their strong military.

This is in stark contrast to previous civilizations that were built mostly on slavery. This isn't to say that Rome didn't have its share of slaves. Slaves were used in the building of many monuments of Rome that still stand today, but most of these slaves were prisoners of war. They were mostly used in dangerous construction projects and then later massacred for entertainment when they lose their usefulness. Rome had plenty of slaves, but not nearly as many per capita when compared to earlier civilizations.

So to your original point, these were likely middle-class dock workers that worked at this port. Just like dock workers today they made a decent salary (this was before unions, now dock workers do surprisingly well for themselves) and lived in reasonable homes and ate surprisingly well.

In fact I would argue that many of them probably were demoted in social status after Rome fell in the 400-500s AD. With Rome no longer the superpower that it once was, the desire to trade with Rome goes down, which meant that fewer ships come into port, which is bad for the dock workers that work at that port. Many of them probably lost their job and this may be the contributing factor to the food changes we see over the next hundred years with these people. There is far less money moving through their city now and more people move to a lower social-economic class.

Imagine if the US immediately collapsed. The billions of dollars of trade that goes in and out of the Los Angeles port (the largest port in the US) would drop by 90% or more. Many of those dock workers, who right now are strong middle-class workers, would lose their jobs and unemployment country-wide would increase dramatically (probably well over 25%). This would make it difficult for dock workers to find new jobs and many would start going hungry or reach poverty status.

It isn't too far of a stretch to assume that this is what happened to Rome's largest port after Rome collapsed.
Congratulations! You're all right!
I agree - but understood the meaning either way.
>You're burning up a lot of CPU power here

This is easy to write off as micro-optimizing, but it's no joke. I recently profiled some hard real-time software and was surprised to find that >50% of busy processor time was spent somewhere in the fcvt() family of functions.

It's fine for the use case in the medium term (we're within deadline and not starving for more cycles) so I'm avoiding the serialization format transition headache, but it did send me down the rabbit hole of floating point conversion techniques for half a day.
That font looks very bold!
One thing you are missing- bitcoin doesn't solve any problem. We have currency, and the currency in its form today doesn't need to waste electricity as part of its inner-workings (I'm aware it takes energy to produce). AC and its power consumption is a necessary evil in some places to make livable conditions. Bitcoin doesn't have that fallback; I can pay for my coffee without creating CO2, just by using cash.
No one here is saying we should forbid/outlaw/block bitcoin because of its CO2 emissions. People are just seeing it as another reason to not blindly buy into the hype.
Sure... by making the user setup the equivalent of a PPA. AppImage's advantage is that you can mail it to them on a CD and they can just run it from the CD.
Mastodon 2.9: Introducing the single-column layout
Usually creeks and steams are very well managed by concretizing the riverbed. Japan is in love with concrete and with controlling river flow and coastlines. Basically if it’s in a city, it gets paved over!

There's a duality there. The other side of that coin is they started the whole forest bathing movement.

I’m reminded by Zizek that outsiders to a culture are apt to romanticize things they don’t know. His go to quip is how an American Indian (native/First Nations person) frustrates and indignant at this romanticizing bursted out saying “we killed more buffaloes than any settlers ever did”. The point being most humans have the same drive and desires, in this case to control nature and unpredictability.
To get an Octopus card, I need HK$150 cash.

To get a contactless debit (or credit) card, I need proof of ID and proof of address.

Octopus cards were launched in 1997. Oyster cards didn't come to London until 2003.

Contactless debit cards didn't come into play with TfL until 2014, and Oyster cards never really extended beyond transport uses in that time.

In comparison, retail establishments, vending machines, parking meters, car parks, were accepting Octopus cards as early as 2004.

There's a lot to be said for that momentum / inertia, which Oyster cards never had, and the accessibility to absolutely everyone without any requirements beyond having the cash to pay for it (approx £15, with £5 deposit for the card and £10 initial credit)

(It's also worth noting I dumped my Oyster card within a couple of months of contactless cards being accepted with TfL, while I still have my Octopus card as it's vital in HK in a way that Oyster never was in London)
Cash can't do those things either. It would be relatively easy to have a regulated bitcoin bank that offers such services. Coinbase is heading that way.
Depends entirely on the usecase. I'll say one thing though, users are much more likely to visit a website than download and install a desktop application.
Ryu is only a year old. Grisu is 10 years old. It takes time for people to absorb these things.
Magnesium truly does wonders for my sleep but every single person I’ve recommended it to has not had similar results. Like many things I’m sure there’s a significant difference depending on your biochemistry.
I like this approach too. npm at least, and perhaps other package managers, are replicating DNS a bit too much for my taste, by providing their own (centralized) namespace. Why not use the existing namespace that is DNS (which is decentralized). It's pretty nice to be able to host my packages on my own servers with my own domain name.

Feedback for my new web app that helps you manage lending to friends
But more kids are writing more code now than ever before, there are books on it and classes on it and video series and coding literacy is actually a cultural movement (maybe driven by a need to depress wages by oversaturating the market,) multiple game creation frameworks and the modding scene which is huge. Motivation is clearly not a problem.

And the sort of simple games that don't require coding in these frameworks are the sort of simple games that no one wants to make and no one wants to play anymore. Sure, you can make breakout or pong or a really, really terrible shooter[0] with just the GUI, but kids who want to "make games" don't want those, they want to make the next Minecraft or Fortnite or MOBA or whatever, which means they're going to have to learn to code eventually.

Not everyone has to start with helloworld.c and learning how to write their own renderer from scratch nowadays. But if and when they do want to learn to write code, then they have far more and better options available than previous generations, from asset packs and templates to Handmade Hero and everything in between.

I’ve encountered many times when my mates wouldn’t pay me back my money. Some of the most common excuses are:

“I don’t have any money right now, I’ll pay you tomorrow.”

“I think you got me mixed up with someone else, I never borrowed money from you.”

“This dude owns me $20, you can go ask him.”

Frustrated with the experience, I’ve decided to create Borrowist that lets you create and log IOU transactions on the platform.

This ensures that details such as amount that is lent/borrowed, due date for repayments, are always available.

On top of that I’ve created automatic email reminders when a debt is about to be overdue. So you don’t have to endure that awkward and unpleasant experience when you ask for your money back.

You can say I'm solving my own pain, but I think Borrowist can help you too.

What you think?
Anonymous speech is the cornerstone of free society - without it a mafia state prevails all too easily.
Not to mention its role in helping to move on from shared delusions and letting problems be transparent. There is a reason why the Dust Bowl wasn't like the Great Leap Forward despite both being grand agricultural fuck ups prompted by bad leadership. The one wasn't addressed with "this is fine" and started to receive corrections instead of doubling down for sake of face.

Same reason as why it is acceptable as a limitation of free speech to prevent proof of ballot choice - while people can and should advocate what they believe it being open leads to all sorts of nasty attacks like vote buying and extortion.
In an ideal scenario global solar power generation would be over produced so that it would still be of a considerable supply for wintertime use. All the summer over production could be moved to bitcoin mining, or hydrogen creation resulting in ad-hoc, free, follow the sun bitcoin mining or hydrogen storage.
When summer switches to winter in the northern hemisphere then the southern hemisphere takes up the load.
Or how about the video of the orangutan fighting the bulldozer destroying its home? I used to think people just didn’t realize that animals have internal emotional, social, intellectual lives. But I’m now convinced we know and choose to look away. Tragically.

> I would have killed to have tools like Unity when I got into game programming. All of my hobby time was eaten up trying to wrangle OpenGL and C++ and crappy open source engines, and cobbling together a shitty physics engine, so I never got around to the actual game part.

I'm still in that boat, and I am an 8 YoE "Software Engineer". I recently got into boardgame.io library (also made by a Googler, coincidentally) and it is a fantastic library.

I've attempted to make min-max CLI board game simulations before but failed. Also tried (still somewhat active) to make a 2D artillery game and got close, but just kept getting bogged down in framework (actually migrating from framework to framework) and other chores. Currently it uses LibGDX.

With this boardgame lib I just wrote game logic. It was fun, for a change! Plus it has multiplayer and integrates with React really well for a UI so it's actually useful.

I just wanted the CLI boardgame sims to find the best moves/races in games I play IRL. With this I can actually have other people play and maybe show it off at some point.
likely an ip ban of all of their entry servers and/or perhaps dns sinkholing of the domains connected to them (redirect dns queries to some government owned block page). that way users cannot establish the initial vpn connection to start their sessions. you could then proxy or use another vpn to get into it but that would defeat the purpose, effectively removing the vpn service's utility. its difficult to completely stop any connections to some point, but it's fairly do-able in this way to make a service practically useless even if it's still reachable in some ways.

That depends on what is expected of the DevOps position I feel.

If you're going to need to dig into the source code of infrastructure pieces to find/fix bugs or write your own infrastructure pieces then a SE interview makes sense. If you're doing things at scale or using newer technologies then these come up often enough and resolving them can have significant business consequences (not getting into if choosing that path was a good business decision or not, separate topic).
I think the bookmarks UI has gotten so bad (or stayed stuck where it was instead of improving)... because so many people use tabs for what they could be using bookmarks for. A really well designed bookmarks UI might be able to do even better for them, but with tabs being 'good enough' (and better, for their needs, than the bookmarks UI they had historically when they started using tabs)... attention to bookmarks UI languishes.

A good bookmarks UI is a hard problem, and there's no guarantee you'll succeed at getting people to use it instead of tabs, so the cost-benefit-risk isn't motivating.

If someone did want to create a 'next gen' bookmarks UI... I'd start by intensively studying how and why people use tabs. :)
So I started reading popular mechanics 1905-2005 last weekend, in the first issue of 1905 they actually show a little blurb about electric mail trucks, I knew EVs went way back but found it pretty neat.
Going to keep saying it under every post that is relevant. The ad industry is evil. Both in its current form and by definition. The sooner it dies, the better we are all off.
What about libfmt? Frankly I find it a little easier to use than double-conversion and it's equal in speed.
I would say it's slow the application itself (it uses the Gnome Javascript interpreter), I've never noticed before but on my desktop, for example, the flatpaked Gedit is faster to start than non-flatpak gnome-characters version.

> Anonymous speech is the cornerstone of free society

Only if you don't have bad actors. Which, sadly, our current societies are chock full of.
haha, yes it's a terrible name, such arrogance to suggest fitting infinite things into a very finite thing. In fact they couldn't even call it rational, because even after the precision limitation it's a subset of rationals (where representation error comes from due to base)... Inigo Quilez cam up with a really interesting way around this limitation where numbers are encoded with a numerator and denominator, he called "floating bar", this essentially does not have representation error, but it will likely hit precision errors sooner or at least in a different way (it's kinda difficult to compare directly).
I’m guessing he means sleep compression where you commit to a waking time, and start by sleeping just 6 hours or so, then slowly build up. The goal is to maximize sleep efficiency and minimize time spent in bed awake. Really makes you associate bed with sleep, and makes your sleep very efficient
I imagine it will be identical to Safari running on desktop. The Beta also gives you things like page scaling that you have on desktop so you can play with sizing if you like too.
How will they enforce this? Manually opening ever safety deposit box? I know at my bank (probably all of them?), you need my key and the bank key to open a box.

Are they going to request every single person go to their box, open it and show it to the tax man?
Did you try to sell it too?

Surprisingly no, they were not following science.
> As someone with a split existence between North America and the Euro Zone, I was sincerely hoping that cryptocurrency would at a minimum be a reliable medium of exchange: i.e. a way to convert dollars into euros and vice-versa in a matter of minutes with very low fees.

You're not looking for a new currency, you're looking for a regular currency exchange. Whatever fees your currency exchange charges for going from EUR to USD (and back) can only increase if you need to involve another exchange (for the bitcoin-conversion).
The computational complexity per transaction does not affect the number of transactions.... wow.
I am pretty sure that if I put all of the servers that I am involved with behind NAT64, the complaints would be instant because tons of stuff would break, from services running on those servers not being reachable via IPv4 to software running on those machines not supporting IPv6.
Server side changes are moot (1), because in order to properly do state saving, you have to save more than the assets in a simple cache, but also the entirety of the DOM as of that particular moment and the state of the js engine.

I couldn't even imagine supporting that in an app I wrote, much less in a way that works for every website everywhere!!

(1) moot in the sense that it ought to act to server side changes much like any static pages would become out of date when backend updates are made. If the api endpoint goes away, then it errors, it's not the responsibility of the browser to keep the app evergreen, imho
If the server side has changed then I can simply refresh the page if I want the newest page. I'd like the page to be exactly what it was when I closed the browser. I've left computers running for days just to save the state of a single browser tab. I suppose a better way of doing it is to only use browsers inside a VM and them just save the state of the VM.

About websites: I don't want to have to rely on website makers, because they invariably won't do it and it won't work.
