As someone who lives with and takes care of a cancer patient, I'm really frustrated with how little effort has been devoted to cancer research in such a long period of time, taking into account that it's been several decades of misery now for millions of people--and a lot more to come; that's for sure.

Besides governments allocating less funding to research, prevention and treatment--for cancer as well as other grave ailments--than they could, what especially irks me is this: negligent practices carried out by big corporations to which authorities have always turned a blind eye. The sheer amount of unregulated, harmful practices that has come to define our current lifestyle is abominable. Radiation, pollution, carcinogenic and generally unsafe food, hygiene products, food and liquid containers... All factors whose pervasiveness correlates with cancer cases skyrocketing.

We should all be willing to reflect upon what we're doing to our personal and collective health, and if our lifestyles are actually sustainable or do require to be reformed.
The BBC reported that they had previously been digitised and placed in private online storage. Make of that what you will.
The space program proved to be a boon when there was a severe cyclone in the state of Odisha

Entire state was devastated and yet few people lost their lives because they were able to predict the cyclone and take measures for safety.

Your argument has merit, I live in India! But the thing is, if we were a country that starves its poor folk while running behind space program then you are 100% right

But Indian government has typically worked for lifting people out of dire poverty. Just look at standard of living. This Modi govermnet has taken social steps way beyond ex govt. Modi govt has deposited aid money straight in accounts of people. Thus reducing corruption

So India is doing both, sanitation, road and space.

I mean the cynic in me agrees there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of porking barrels going on, but at some point you are going to have to build unreliable bleeding edge systems so that the next generation can become mass market

sucks to be an early adopter, but this is no different than a gen0 Apple hardware, to draw some parallels.

what really gets me is that because of rules upon rules on acquisition, making such thing and marketing them as they really are (tech demonstrator, prototypes, unrefined products, whatever you want to call them) would never fly. you have to twist those as great budgeting opportunities, inflate the earning options of export versions etc etc.

it's like generations of rotten politics coming into play, portraying it as a greedy company and some unscrupulous congressmen is not wrong per se but a little reductive.

Ofcourse. But I wonder wonder if the sixth finger arose in humans or if it's an expression of an previously common structure that has been suppressed for the last couple of million years. I would wager on the latter.
I think there's study about "feral humans", kids abandoned when they were really young that managed to survive. When reintegrated into society after 0 interaction with humans they were unable to grasp more complex grammar concepts. They would get a full vocabulary but were unable to form complex phrases.

So there's definitely a component of the brain that is there but needs to be activated explicitly for "modern" humans to work as we except them to do. I don't know what the impact for sign language was though...
Yes, even I was not sure if it is racism these days. But it was racism back then.

No. This was in the mid to early 1980s in the UK, for a large B2B computer magazine publisher (VNU). Journalism school really wasn't 'a thing' to nearly the same degree then. Instead you were trained on the job. My degree was biology, but I had worked a lot on the student newspaper.

The power comes in two fronts. The ease that the cli tools you mentioned to help you gather a solid baseline of these smaller packages, and then, giving you the ability to decompose the features into interchangeable parts by ejecting or just by virtue of how small the packages are. The problem with monolithic frameworks in my opinion lies with the second part, they develop to he opinionated and for valid reasons, but sometimes that create really intense friction when changes need to happen in particular ways.

> It seems "constant-time" isn't used to mean "the time taken is O(1) regardless of the size of the input n", but rather, "for a given input size, the algorithm is carefully written to do the same amount of work no matter what the specific bits of the input are, to defeat timing attacks".

This seems very obvious to me.
"Constant" independent of the input size seems literally impossible for any nontrivial algorithm. At the very least you need to somehow read in all the input, and that's already input-size dependent.

The US army is not lacking in capability... you have an excess of it!

What you'll earn by having this probably-prototype put into production is tons of valuable data about what works in production, what to improve, what components fails first, how that single-airframe stuff can be made cheaper and more reliable etc. Based on this data nobody else will have, engineers will be able to design weapon systems (think even ML-asysted design based of v2.0 based on telemetric data gathered over decades etc.) nobody else will be able to compete with even if F-35 is a flop. I imagine this is why people fret about the Turkey thing, all this is about the data (that you wouldn't want Russian systems to get a copy of) not about the flying brick.

Overall, putting boring reliable tech in production does not generate much useful data. Putting unreliable prototypes does. And it's all about techno-military supremacy long-term game here, not losing or winning one little war in a country you don't care about.

Now about the pilots and soldiers... yeah, you're doing R&D in "production" (where "production" == "warfare" here), (the wrong) people will be killed, there will be a blood price paid for all this technological advancement, but in the end you'll benefit from it.

...only thing I find slightly horrifying is that this mindset (of "screw the 'client', let'd do some R&D in production to get unique insights and special competitive advantage from it" - that has already sipped into commercial hardware and software for a long time btw), creates an incentive to "gather more and better data" and when this translate to "wage more war" it doesn't bode well...

If that is your evidence then you are tricking yourself, or to be generous speculating wildly.

The evolution here was: physical clay counters; physical clay counters sealed in a clay envelope; physical clay counters sealed in a clay envelope but also pressed into the outside of the envelope to indicate how many; clay tablet with counters pressed into the outside (since the envelopes with counters inside were redundant); clay tablets with little cuneiform symbols to represent quantities, differing by type of object being counted, and not all sexagesimal; more uniform written sexagesimal writing system.

There is no indication in the symbols about how people counted on their fingers.

Ask HN: Writing your first compiler resources/guides
I've reached that stage of life where one sits down and says: "I should invent and implement a compiled computer language".

What are the best practical resources, guides, and exercises available in order to get started on writing a compiler from scratch? (Ideally by partaking in little exercises and projects to actually make 'the things happen' at each stage from very minimal beginnings, and then some insight into some modern tools, philosophies and workflows in practice?)
It's a pretty shitty looking website considering the confidence. Maybe there's just nothing to actually hack.

Certainly in the UK (special case?), that's not the case . We certainly had Apple ][s at school and 6th form in the UK as the main machines - later replaced by BBC model Bs and back then there were summer camps doing computing for enthusiastic youngsters. Apple was again the computer of choice in the early days, to be replaced later by the ZX Spectrum.
This initiative is very close in spirit to the CORE economics curriculum (https://www.core-econ.org/).

It focuses on observable social and economics consequences (failures of equality, opportunity and sustainability in particular), when introducing new economic concepts.

The goal is to avoid students being blinded by appealing, but simplistic, economics models.

Having been seduced by many an economic theory before, I for one welcome this perspective.

The news video on the page also says hackers were given just 5 hours on site.

How does this compare to other security challenges? 5 hours seems like a very short amount of time to me. No doubt someone genuinely interested in hacking your corporate network is going to put more than 5 hours effort it.

I have a general issue with school forcing kids into sub-optimal learning environments. It's not OK if a few ill-mannered kids make it difficult for everybody else.

I don't think it is an inevitable outcome of having boys in the class, in fact, many boys also suffer from the behavior of such classmates.

However, if single-sex education helps, why not.

What irks me is when there are STEM courses just for girls, without similar offers for boys. In my country, significant amounts of government money are available for that kind of thing. Firms and organizations also do it, presumably for marketing purposes (displaying how progressive they are by encouraging women in tech).

An example that comes to mind is Google sponsoring women traveling to their Google I/O event. It's nice to encourage women in tech. But if there is a woman reluctant to go, being convinced by being offered money, and a man who would love to go but can't afford it, I feel something is amiss. Although I give the companies that they have their own incentives, namely getting their hands on cheaper software developers. The market for male developers might be tapped out, so it is understandable if they set their eyes on women.

This is standard terminology within programming and cryptography. This is the only practical definition to use, as cryptography commonly deals with arbitrarily sized inputs, which can of course not all run in O(1).

A simple example of constant-time within this definition, as well as why constant-time does not mean O(1) in this context, is that of a comparator:

The most normal, and fastest, approach is to go through data in the largest chunks the CPU can handle, returning 1 immediately a mismatch is found, and 0 at the end under the assumption that no termination = no mismatch. However, this reveals information about the values compared, as the time it takes to compare reveals where the mismatch is located.

For constant time, your goal is to ensure that all data is processed equally regardless of outcome. You do this by effectively making the comparison a-b=c, or a^b=c, where a zero-result means equality. In reality, this would be implemented by XOR'ing the largest chunk the CPU can handle together, and then OR'ing the result with a global value starting at 0, overwriting it. This continues without termination to the very end, where you then simply return the running OR'd counter, which is either 0 for equality, or an arbitrary value for the opposite.

Both of course leak the length of the values compared, but the lengths in these cases are commonly known by the adversary, making its protection less relevant.

To clarify: it's not "constant time" in the sense of having O(1) time complexity with regards to the size of the inputs, which is what most people mean by "constant time" (which is obviously not possible in this case: there's never going to be a GCD algorithm that can work as fast on 100-bit integers as on 1,000,000,000-bit integers).

It's "constant time" in the cryptographic sense, that the time to run it can't be used as a side-channel to figure out what the inputs are. A great result to be sure, but the terminology is undoubtedly confusing.
