You know what else is technically correct, idealistic and uncompromising and works in the real world: Bitcoin.

That system requires the power of a small European country to do 7 transactions a second generating a max of 1 mb of data volume every 10 minutes. That's like 1970s transaction speeds. Who the heck is ever going to use that?
No one is mentioning the most negative aspect of touch screens: Constancy. Arguably more important than feedback. When you are used a physical button, you can bet with quantum mechanical accuracy that the gluons are holding the quarks pretty well together and that button ain't going anywhere. A touch screen is configurable and hence I cannot be 100% sure that button is still there.

You can count on it. Just like you can count on typing with a keyboard vs speaking to Siri. Yes, a particular job can be done both ways, but the former guarantees user interaction and feedback.

Also, no one mentions that touch screens are introduced in cars as a cost-saving measure. Automotive grade buttons and encoders are expensive - check ALPS catalog. That's the main reason behind this fog of UI/UX bullshit that people are debating about.

Fuck the modern life. As I age, I am getting more and more grumpy. Can someone explain why electric cars have to look like a fucking spaceship!? Why can't they just be regular cars with electric drivetrain? Why do men's stuff have to look like it came out of tron and women's design look like a decorative art piece in Cinderalla's castle? Design is a hot mess. I want to see a world with a design dictator - someone like Dieter Rams who approves every design. Joking.
This. I have Ampache set up in my cloud server, data storage mounted from my house. Works like a charm.

Also amazing play:Sub iOS app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/play-sub-music-streamer/id9553...) supports Ampache API and has quite decent UI. All this allows me to have my music anywhere I go
Ted Chiang on Our Relationship to Technology, Capitalism, Threat of Extinction
I personally feel that there are so many interesting true stories in mathematics and physics that I would point you towards nonfiction stuff like Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh, the Logicomix graphic novel about Bertrand Russell, or any of the lauded biographies on Turing, Noether, Erdos, Ramanujan, Riemann, Perelman, Feynman, the list goes on and on.

If you are sure you want to read some fiction, you can try the Quantum Thief series, Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem series, or the Goodreads shelf on "Math Fiction": https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/math-fiction
I feel this has been the case with e-scooters in SF. People being disproportionately angry at tech companies for making these devices available. And yet, before them, you'd see an army of social activists riding their bikes thru thru red lights and being general assholes.
That's a great example! I also can't listen to Brain Damage without want to hear Eclipse after.

Can I suggest Gödel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. Its more on the maths side but has many short stories in it.

Also if you are more into the physics side of mathematics you might enjoy Greg Egan who writes sci-fi with ideas like about what if the speed of light was promotional to frequency. He also recently published some new adavances in the field of super permutations.

Representation, Exploration and Recommendation of Music Playlists
To be honest, I would suspect a large percentage of tech startups had failed to consider bad actors until the last year or two.

Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect, but I've seen far too many companies respond to controversy with how they care and will think about how to make things better, while not making any significant changes at all. This is a big step above that.
There was already a US-centric context via the parent comment:

It was a link to a RAND report warning the US Military of cyber-attacks in the US, the report starting off as:
"The chances are growing that the United States will find itself in a crisis in cyberspace, with the escalation of tensions associated with a major cyberattack, suspicions that one has taken place, or fears that it might do so soon."
I'm surprised no one here has mentioned the post-apocalyptic platformer, Mushroom 11. Radiotrophic fungus lends a lot of credence to a game where you guide a mycelial glob through the remains of a nuked landscape.
I love that. I've played most Zachtronics games as well as Robot Odyssey at 15, was hooked on Robot Odyssey for a week for the same reasons. The difficulty was a challenge rather than an impediment.

What really got me was that the games encouraged something like hand-optimizing the size of your program. The levels were open-ended and the solution could be anything, but each solution has a cost, for example, least number of gates used in Robot Odyssey. In SpaceChem, it's number of symbols. In The Codex of Alchemical Engineering, cost is measured in total number of instructions, which encouraged solutions involving many different parts moving perfectly in sync. Those solutions were really difficult but rewarding to craft. However, cost in Opus Magnum is measured in total cost of parts (not instructions) used. That's less interesting to optimize, since the 'best' solution is often one part doing all the work (easy to optimize for), which in my opinion makes it a little less fun to play. Similarly, I remember the last few levels of Robot Odyssey didn't have much space in the way of optimizing (there is just one Correct Solution) which was underwhelming.

I guess my point is that the games were fun not because I had so much freedom in how I can finish each level. Rather it was the difficulty of optimizing each solution that attracted me. And it's hard to find games like that outside Zachtronics.
Yes, you can find everything you need if you search for the right thing. As you know, a keyboard is a Human Interface Device. What you want to search for then is "arduino USB HID library".

The freedom is that the federal government has only a limited set of rights. The people also are given a set of unalienable rights through constitutional amendments (the Bill of Rights and so on).

Everything else is left up to the middle governments - states and municipalities.

Though the federal government has increased its scope massively since the early days of the country, and in some cases via sketchy interpretations of the Constitution...
Fair point, the last thing I want to do is make people care less about privacy. I will say the one difference here is I think there are a lot of people who use this tracking for their day to day job, so its not just a random gray hat who is exploiting ignorance, in this case there are hundreds of thousands of people who are using this daily.
Are you certain Google fetches all images on opening a message? I have not verified this recently, but when they launched the feature to not show images by default they made the privacy argument that it would defeat these trackers…

Not quite; the point of using the phrase "link to a C module" was to point out that all of them conform to the applicable "C ABI" for a platform and therein lies C's strength as a "glue" language.
Are politicians literally shooting each other again, like Aaron Burr & Hamilton? In all seriousness, if anything is new in our political discourse, it is sensitivity to violent language.

Having actually worked in these companies, I can say the actuation and controls are still deterministic algorithms. Talking on some buzzword is one thing, but actual implementation is another. I would be surprise if any of these companies have largely NN based modules in their stack for controls and lower level planning.
It depends, if you are signing up on a mobile device (say creating an account as part of an Android device setup) it is absolutely required in my direct experience with no way to bypass it.

However if you create a new account via a desktop browser, it's not been required.

Your stated position gives far too much credit to algorithms and far too little to what every capable human driver can do.
I'm on the fence about this.

Script kiddies have always been the proverbial joke, but if you ask me, this category of hackers collectively is a bigger problem for the average person. They usually can't do much damage individually, but when you have so many of them that know how to cause even a minimal amount of mayhem and distraction for others, that adds up as a burden to society.

I also have no respect for hackers that have no desire to put in the time and effort toward the pursuit of becoming masters at what they do, and virtually everyone who is watching hacking tutorials on YT is just looking for a shortcut so they can hack a little bit on the side between League of Legends games.

So good riddance to the videos (though not sure how much difference it will make at this point).

However, the real issue here is that Google is applying changes to its censorship policies at a gradual, subtler pace, rather than deciding on a coherent principle and applying it consistently. There's too much fear that Google will continue to tighten restrictions, and that next on the chopping block will be either our favorite content or stuff we produce/upload ourselves. Nobody really knows where it ends. This is something I'm definitely not okay with, and this ban is just another example of this trend.

When you said that, was also the appeal to authority fallacy.
lots of people commute from arhus, usually is 1h 1:15h each way, depending where you live, there is also lot of carpooling, but working from home is something that everyone does from time to time ( once a week for instance )

What’s next? Lockpicking?
Sure but if there were some other weird conspiracy, they would still likely say something like this.
The choice of language usually comes down to the packages. In any of the three aforementioned languages one can easily and quickly manipulate matrices short of an unwillingness to learn. Julia is nice because it's fast with native code. Python is nice because of Scipy. Matlab is nice because it decides how to spend your money without cause.

I'm an AI researcher / practitioner. For me code accompanying papers is very useful and usually this code is in Python. Occasionally it's Matlab but let's be honest, who cares about those papers :). I'd love to use Julia but the package support just isn't there. Ironically people like me are supposed to be writing this code but with a demanding job and a family it's not likely I will be improving their DataFrame effort anytime soon.

Anyway the MAIN reason I use open source software is because if it isn't working correctly I simply fix the code myself. This isn't possible in the proprietary world. Why would you trust your research or production work with code you can't see and edit?

There's been a lot of talk about documentation. Docs are secondary sources, like WIRED, read the code if you're serious about being correct. Even (especially) hired hands make mistakes and fail to write good tests.

This article reminded me of the fictional Simpson's news article "Old Man Yells at Cloud". It's funny, and he may have a point, but it has no relevance.
Less foot soldiers available to send into wars. Russian strategists will be forced to turn to drones and nukes to achieve their goals, conventional war methods won't be feasible.
The Russian Gov't under Putin could care less about the health needs of their common people, they direct their efforts and funds towards displaying ego and pride, trying to make Russia look like a superpower, which in reality Russia has a rapidly decaying infrastructure and social fabric.
lol, thats brilliant.

My Encounter with the Late Mitchell Feigenbaum, Chaos Pioneer and Critic
That's where the business model comes in. To focus on being a positive tool for content creators, I decided to charge them a monthly fee to have their page on the platform. And I maintain absolutely no other means of revenue. The entirely of the business depends on creators finding it a useful, reliable, and trustworthy tool that is worth their money.

I know that doesn't strictly forbid banning certain content, but without the pressure of having to satisfy advertisers, etc., I don't expect to need to ban content. The only exception that comes to mind would be restricting certain content in order to comply with laws.

Please do follow up with any questions or concerns you have. My goal is to be transparent and to build trust, so I'm happy to address them.

Hi! Former product manager for MySQL here. The defaults have changed a lot across major releases:

https://mysqlserverteam.com/new-defaults-in-mysql-8-0/

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/added-deprecated-rem...

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-default-chang...

One detail that is not always obvious is how much work goes into limiting regressions. The work to switch to utf8mb4 really started in MySQL 5.6 by not allocating the sort buffer in full (and then further improved in 5.7). 8.0 then added a new temptable storage engine for variable length temp tables.

These are not small cases either: When you compare to latin1 because the _profile_ of queries could change from all in memory to on disk, we could be talking about 10x regressions. In MySQL 8.0 it is more like 11% https://www.percona.com/blog/2019/02/27/charset-and-collatio...

Edit: Also forgot to mention, switching the default character set broke over 600 tests. It's not as easy as it sounds!
Opus Magnum keeps separate leaderboards for cheapest price, fewest cycles used, and smallest area. I generally tended to optimize for fewest cycles and ended up with the kinds of stuff you describe for Codex.
I've not had many successful marketing strategies. Some worked really well for what I was trying to do, which makes them successful, but there was a limit!

I needed side-gigs to keep me afloat a couple of months ago, so I posted craigslist ads for odd jobs, computer/printer repair and installation, as well as gutter cleaning. I paid $5 dollars per ad. The most successful ad was the one regarding Installing and Repairing Computers/Printers. I received a number of calls each week for several weeks to come, mostly from older folks who needed help. One guy said he paid $400 dollars for a printer on ebay. For his needs, he could have gotten one at the thrift store for $10, but I digress. Each job was quick and landed me $15-$40 apiece.

I decided to create this Ask HN thread to pick the brains of talented individuals in hopes to shed some light on this very interesting subject. My development skills are good but I feel like a beginner in this realm.
And yet I very rarely need to do that while driving. If I really needed to I would just use my phone.

In civil aviation, Boeing has no domestic competition, though it may oppose competing transport modes such as high-speed rail. (I don't know that it has, though other avaiation interests, famously Southwest Airlines, have.)

In defence, Beoing and other MIC firms are generally better served by fighting for a larger pie, than over their share of it. The fight is over defence vs. nondefence (mostly social services) spending. See for example; https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Boeing

It was a valid question to the statement. He's saying the costs are too high for the safety they provide. Obviously this is categorically false on its face, considering car companies wouldn't use them if they didn't save lives.

Secondly, I welcome a debate, instead all I got, before this last fine post, was you asking me to "please stop." and little else added to the conversation that isn't already obvious. My statement may have been a loaded question, but it was certainly not a passive aggressive statement on the order of politely being asked to sod off.

Ask HN: How do you manage the tab explosion in the browser?
I've been feeling overwhelmed when the sea of tabs open in multiple browser windows and often those are about articles I need to read or action items I need to do at some point in time. Not to mention the fact that links automatically open new tabs and it can increasingly get unwieldy and worst case your browser crashes unable to restore. Just looking for your thoughts, ideas, best practices in managing tabs online.

Even so, they are united States (as opposed to, say, Australia where the so-called "states" are for all intents and purposes merely administrative subdivisions of the continent, and could be remade by passing a law in the federal parliament)

This isn't really true. The fundamental setup of the Constitution of Australia is that the separate States retain their existing power to make laws and enforce laws on essentially any matter (with some very specific carve-outs, like the states may not coin money, raise armed forces or try to impose a tax on the Federal government). The Federal Parliament is granted the power to make laws only with respect to an enumerated set of heads of power.

This is, for example, why the Federal Government was able to overrule voluntary euthanasia legislation in both the Territories, but cannot in the case of the State of Victoria.

The vertical fiscal imbalance mentioned elsewhere certainly is an issue, where the State Governments are responsible for most service delivery but the practical revenue-raising ability of the Federal Government is significantly greater. This results in the Federal Government using 'tied grants' to influence State policy, but it is my understanding that a similar thing happens in the US as well (for example in the case of raising the drinking age to 21).

In terms of remaking the States, the Constitution specifically disallows altering the limits of a State without the consent of that State's Parliament and passing a referendum of that State's voters.
