You’re arguing about vim shortcuts in reply to a description of what one can do if one doesn’t want vim shortcuts. Note that the equivalent in vim is not really f s, but ESC f s, because in most modes where one might do M-m f s, most characters insert themselves, the equivalent of insert mode in vim.

Note also that in regular emacs one can do C-x C-s (ie holding control press x then s).
>It does attack homosexual people. You can't use "gay" as a slur or as a punchline to a joke anymore. The punchline of the joke isn't "they're close", its "they're so close they're gay".

No, the punchline of the joke is "they're so close it's almost like they're in a relationship". Of course it has to be a gay relationship, because they're both men.

As I said before, the joke would work just as well if the cartoon depicted a woman and a man.

You and a whole bunch of other people making the same extremely basic observation. It would be good if you would suggest some alternative strategies, since 'don't bother keeping that data' isn't a realistic option in this context.
Given that the contractor violated the data handling rules in their contract, the only possible remedy is revocation of their facility security clearance, followed immediately by revocation of the personnel security clearances of everyone who claimed that these systems were operating in accordance with their SSPs.

I'd like to believe that this will happen, but I've seen plenty of cause for FSCs to be revoked and almost no FSC revocations.
There's nothing wrong w/ polymorphic functions, but there has to be a reasonable rule to apply for what kinds of shapes of data are permitted. Trying to aggressively handle unforeseen cases instead of indicating an error doesn't actually help anyone, it's akin to swallowing exceptions. It's why falsey values and automatic type conversion are some of the most problematic features in javascript.

Your example of how to handle max for array arguments is exactly the kind of thing I would discourage in js code, because it overloads the meaning of "maximum" to data that don't have a natural way of assigning an ordering if heterogeneous arguments are permitted (actually it sounds like you're saying something like max([1], [9]) should return "9", which doesn't correspond to an intuitive understanding of "maximum" at all given it returns something that isn't either of the passed arguments). Whereas the rust code can use the "PartialOrd" trait to ensure we only try to produce a maximum of like elements with a defined ordering relation. That's fine for a limited number of cases where its easy to show type equivalence in js, but I think it's problematic as a general design principle, and because you don't have ways to express the limits of polymorphism I've seen this kind of thing proliferate to unsafe uses of a function very quickly.

> even power users cannot really do with their devices as they please, if they don't happen to be kernel hackers with a few months' worth of time to spare.

You don't have to be a kernel hacker to build & flash AOSP. Google has a guide on it: https://source.android.com/setup/build/running

But whether or not you consider this a "power user" or not is obviously less clear cut. How you define "power user" does of course change things. The point is just that there is the ultimate escape hatch of flashing a custom ROM, and it's not THAT hard to do, especially with all the tools out there to flash things like LineageOS super easily. You may not understand what it's doing, but it is at least sitting on officially supported things for the devices Google sells.

The BBC article _is_ extremely flawed. Namely BBC bench-marked using this methodology^:

The parameter “--end-usage=q” was set to force fixed QP encoding according to the QPs in Table 1 and “--threads=1” was used to run the encoder in single-thread mode. The parameters “--passes=1” and “--lag-in-frames=0” were set to run AV1 in single pass mode without the possibility of looking ahead in the video sequence before encoding. Finally, the internal bit depth of the codec was set to 12 as typically used during the AV1 development. Finally, for all encoding technologies, each sequence was split into chunks of one Intra period (approximately 1 second, as defined in the RA configuration for HM and JEM), which allowed each chunk to be independently encoded in parallel. This coding configuration was adopted to reduce the overall time needed to encode with AV1, intead of encoding each 10 second sequence sequentially.

The BBC essentially forced the GOP size to 1s for libaom. In every benchmark I've run where HM and libaom are _not_ run in ridiculous modes, libaom has been about 30% better bdrate. This is consistent with many, broadly reported, independent analysis such as MSU, Facebook, etc. The second BBC evaluation which at least enabled two pass (the configuration AOM was developed in) shows much larger gains^^. They still did not address the inequity in gop length. Even old codecs like h264 can see a 10 to 20% gain on sequences from longer GOPs.

AV1 is far from perfect, as some of it's features are very computationally complex to implement today, while HEVC and VVC have "better known" complexity for their features. But the BBC benchmark analysis is simply not accurate.

Edit: PS. The BBC evaluation is good for what they where benchmarking. Will AV1 today beat HM for live streaming? And the answer is, no. The Intel SVT encoder may change that soon. Libaom was not configured, or tested for that. But this is an odd benchmark to put forward as explicitly mentioned, speed is not what _either_ code base was built for.
Sure, isn't that kind of the point of it?

Lol. Regarding Venzuela, there is still exactly zero appetite among the general public for another nation building boondoggle. So what if they have oil. We have plenty of oil too. The idea of "building" a friendly nation that's dependent on us to sell us oil has little upside these days.

Regarding Iran, the defense industry is drooling over the idea that the next president may thaw relations and they'll be able to sell to both sides of the Iran/Israel standoff.

This is why I unsubd from the NYT and why it makes me sad: 99% solid journalism but 1% hot garbage is not a good enough ratio. Just in my adult lifetime this newspaper has materially contributed to both the Iraq War and the election of Trump, and now they use their paper to try to destroy me industry because their industry, which for decades was an abusive cartel exploiting advertisers, is having an angry death fit. I wish there were more outlets for journalism that don't have old-media baggage.

I don't think it's exactly fair to call AV1 "technically poor". Even if HEVC is better (and I don't know enough to say if it is or not), that would be a bit like calling gzip technically poor because zstd exists.
I'd be curious to see more on the advantages of using raw TeX instead of LaTeX. Feels like that should be backwards, but didn't surprise me, either.
The tech company scarcely ever "acts like a bank" -- they typically partner with a bank, drive users to it, and split the profits.

Yes, long time, as 2500 would kill you quickly.

I should have said linear hypothesis. I’m going off what learned in a online physics lecture on radiation effects. Right at the beginning of this:

https://youtu.be/nDviu3DLDRk

2500 people at 1 rem each yields one cancer.

250 people at 10 rem, again 1 cancer

25 at 100 rem, again 1 cancer, but they now have ARS (acute radiation sickness). This is interesting since one would think ARS would definitely cause cancer, but it’s only 1/25, whereas 1/3 of people will develop cancer.

8.3 people at 300 rem, which is the 50% threshold for death from ARS, but still 1 cancer.

I’d think 2500 CT scans/year is a typical number for a hospital. Can they be sued for causing that single incidence of cancer?
I would be careful about rooting for a codec that has strengths/weaknesses that are suspiciously tailored to extremely large media-serving companies. By which I mean, Netflix/Google don't care so much about encode time since their scale is so big, and they certainly don't care as much about decode time as users with their precious battery life do.

Just because something is open does not mean it is meant to serve consumers' interests.

I can see how Tableau would be great if you are in a situation where you can have business guys creating their dashboards and exploring their data.

The issue in practice is almost always getting the data in a workable state so that you can manipulate it easily in Tableau. In my experience in smaller and mid-sized places, Tableau tasks get punted to analytics and data science, because they are needed anyway to get and transform the data in the first place. And these people usually prefer and are capable of using more technical tools than Tableau. I know I would rather use Shiny or Dash.

Maybe that's not a difficult problem in larger corps.

Compliance with NIST SP 800-53 is mandatory per statute and DHS policy. That system has an identified ISSO, ISSM, ISSPM, DAO, and AO who are responsible for authority to operate being given. If the paperwork is in place, a government employee signed off on that network's operation. If not, it doesn't have ATO and there's a government employee (the AO or CIO) responsible for allowing a such a network to be connected to government systems and store government-controlled information.

While I can see some benefits in terms of deployment flexibility, this really seems like a case of prioritizing your organizational chart over the end user experience. Its already hard enough to optimize a large JavaScript SPA so that it runs well on mobile devices - are we really suggesting that its a good idea to ship a UI to users device containing N different versions of React, Angular, Redux etc. all built using different build tools/pipelines with the final UI cobbled together and have it give a comparable experience to a native application?

Micro services work on the backend because the its effectively hidden from the user - thier device hits and endpoint and gets a response. On the frontend its a different story, the users device has to download and execute all that duplicated code.
Ask HN: How do you remember what you've learned?
I've been using google keep to take notes and remind myself to review them with spaced repetition (more about spaced repetition https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html)

Nice things about using keep for this:

- access from any device

- nice UI

- supports images

- reminders to review a note

- half decent text editor

- searchable

- categories

- free

cons:

- mixed in with other notes in the default view

- hard to export for review in other formats

- have to manually set the interval (e.g. using reminder tool to set 3 days from now, then 1 week, then 1 month ect). This is tedious

- not suited for larger documents

- not really suited for flashcard style of studying

Other things I've tried:

- folders with text files

- ankiweb
I didn't downvote you but fyi:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card#Secured_credit_car...

The 2nd to last paragraph in that section starts with: "Secured credit cards are an option to allow a person with a poor credit history or no credit history to have a credit card which might not otherwise be available."

My first credit card was a secured VISA card and it had a high interest APR of 21%. The high interest rate was irrelevant to me. What was most important was that I had a credit card at all. When I got the card, I remembered the first thing I did was order music CDs from the web. This level of convenience wasn't possible by mailing in money orders. Since I paid off the full balance every month, whatever high interest rate the card had didn't affect me.
In one that is not too large to fail, I'd agree. We have a monolithic government that has been going away from "they" since the state restricted the size of the House of Representatives and have shifted more and more responsibility and power to the federal branch.

It's no different than the same moral hazard large corporations face that we empower through cronyism and the effects are obvious, notably events leading up to the great financial crisis in the late 2000s.

Large institutions not held accountable get to take outsized risks knowing they'll always be bailed out and not held accountable. This article is one of many examples of such.

Well for each one of Google’s services there are legal agreements between them and the business.

Landlords and google may not be exact but in both instances businesses are dependent, and business don’t just pay google/landlords, business improve and bring value to both google/property. In the case of property a restaurant may do a $1M buildout and the landlord will benefit later if he can release to another restaurant who can reuse the buildout. Or maybe your Walmart and an anchor store bringing customer making the rest of the locations more valuable for the landlord. Google benefits through better products: search results, maps, business info (hours, phone, etc...). The signage seems apt, as a business if I invest in the google ecosystem and make their products better it’s at the very least bizarre they would benefit by selling ads for my business name to my competitors. Basically it’s saying as business succeed on google, google is going to make more money advertising your value to competitors.

> Anyone think they approved the security of that subcontractor before giving sensitive information to them?

They almost certainly did, actually. FIPS [1] and FISMA [2] are pretty strict requirement for every company contracting with a government agency. IMO it's one of the rare situations where, at least conceptually, the federal government has done something right in terms of security.

Now whether FIPS/FISMA, and the people enforcing it, actually have any teeth or effectiveness is a different topic entirely.

> more abstract, but made your programs longer

There are a few main reasons for Prolog code to come out longer than Lisp:

- Prolog style is mostly first order -- there's not a direct equivalent of lambda.

- Mutation is also used less.

- There's an equivalent of Lisp macros, but it's also less common.

- You don't nest function calls, but pass common named arguments instead.

So I can see where he was coming from. On the other hand I'd guess he had his Prolog experience before constraint logic programming was well supported, and certainly before MiniKanren which gives back the conveniences of Lisp and helps you take the pure-declarative subset further.

Creating essential infrastructure is stealing but having military spending higher than the next seven countries COMBINED is business as usual.
> you are never reminded that the competition continues to clobber AV1 in every aspect but filesize/quality efficiency

You could have made that statement for all previous codec generations as well. We always buy comparatively small improvements with much higher computational costs. And Moore's law makes it always worth it. In the end filesize/efficiency is why we are doing this stuff in the first place.
Secured credit cards have been around for quite a bit, but they're far from profit centers, which is why they're hard to get from major large banks and rarely advertised.

The only reason someone would apply for one is to build credit, and missing the grace period while subjecting oneself to high APR is pretty much the worst thing one can do at that point. It's worse than not getting the card at all.

seems to have worked out very well for the army, and their contractors.

So well in fact, that a senator is on a campaign to pass legislation to specifically address the military case (leaving cases like the CBP which should be as obvious as from the get go, to be dealt individually too). The system is so broken in its lack of accountability that even well intentioned people are driven to insanity as the norm.
