Somewhat related though very different, there are restaurants called Dans Le Noir ("in the dark") - founded in Paris but now in several countries, though so far I've only been to the one in London.

You choose one of a few set menus without knowing what's in it (IIRC, roughly "meat eater", "fish eater", "vegetarian") and give any specific allergies or really hated food types. You are then led into a pitch black room with absolutely no light leakage (no phones/etc. allowed) where you'll be served and eat your food without being able to see a single thing.

I believe the kitchen staff are hired purely on their cooking, but the waiters are visually impaired people who can lead you to your table and serve your food flawlessly without sight.

Their sales pitch is more about the uniqueness of the experience than about supporting blind people, but the fact that it does create this unique job that they're better qualified to do than people with normal vision is nice.

And it's a really great experience, although not particularly cheap.

Use something like random token buckets not simple rate limiting.

If a user fails credential checks (e.g. password), track it, if their current failure rate is N, tell them they tried too many wrong credentials, come back later. Every random(1,T) seconds any failed users get their failure count reduced by one until it's zero and you stop tracking it for now.

By choosing N and T you can give users a relatively large number of "goes" to remember their password after a long period away, but not give attackers too many chances to guess a not-awful password by brute force.

For example if N is 10 and T is 7200 then a user can try ten passwords, then an average of 24 more attempts per day but exactly when they can make another attempt is random. This allows your good guys to have a fair chance against any bad guys smashing the "retry" button to try to lock them out. If the bad guys give up and go away, the user quickly returns to having ten attempts.
> speaking four languages is pretty normal in Europe

Northern Europe, maybe. French people for instance tend to suck at foreign languages. We rarely go beyond 3 languages (French, English, then German or Spanish. The last two are often forgotten after school.)

I suspect Spain and Italy are similar.
I haven't looked at Access lately, but when I was forced to use it extensively, there were limits tonhownfar you could push input validation without writing VBA. So I suspect that most Access databases have severe issues with data consistency. But at least the data is structured.

> Adobe used to dominate the market so that you used Photoshop even if you often didn't really need all its complexity.

Still does. Part of the reason is that in the past, they turned a blind eye on people pirating Photoshop. Every kid with even passing interest in graphics or photography got themselves a bootleg copy of Adobe tools to work on; it was an easy guess what they'll be using later, as adult professionals.

So the actual framerate depends on the number of events that take place in a time interval?

It seems to me that an "explosion" would generate a lot of events.

Also, in what way is this different from a codec, i.e. isn't this just a much simpler form of mpeg?

And will this produce artifacts, or drop events?

>With a spreadsheet, if you put formulae inside data cells, you need to click all these cells one by one to see if the formulae have been input correctly. This is tedious.

Not really-really, you can choose to show formulas in settings. (reading them without making a mess of the formatting/size of cells is another thing, but you can always make a copy and inspect formulas there, "ruining" the formatting).
It is still tedious, actually very tedious, but as tedious as reviewing source code.

Not uncommon in Scandinavia, if you know one of the languages you can learn the other easily. Some people from Finland have swedish and finnish as their mother tounge, the german most likely came from upper secondary school, together with english.
Just from the fact that he exists in Finland and is older than 20 it's basically a given that he speaks Swedish because they learn it in school.
In Iceland it's pretty normal. We know Icelandic (ofc.) and learn English, one Scandinavian language (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish), then at 15 one of German, French, Italian or Spanish. We are on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. I'd expect more linguistic pluralities on the mainland.

I agree with the sentiment of disappointment of having to make a "league" with specialised AIs. It seems to be lacking a high level reasoning and executive module, and the league acts as a crutch. The league idea still super impressive and clever, but human players do not go around in gangs where only one of them takes a seat for each match.
"If JS were so great, we wouldn't have increasing TypeScript adoption or a million compile-to-JS languages."

That's quite the leap. Plenty of people like writing plain JS. Your only argument for why "it sucks" is basically "because some other people made tools that they thought were better." What's one language that doesn't fit that?

Python sucks too https://github.com/vindarel/languages-that-compile-to-python

C sucks too https://github.com/andrei-markeev/ts2c

Interesting. This is indeed a massive undertaking as it implicitly covers a lot of LLVM as well. It might take a couple of years until a core language is certified.

I’d like to recommend the documentary The Biggest Little Farm. Among other things it illustrates the contrast between industrial farming and its soil treatment (optimized for cost and short term profit) and alternatives (rebuilding rich soil which captures water etc.)

It’s incredibly inspiring.
Thanks, this was the first time I came across this study. Will have to look more carefully into it - but, coming from an engineering background, I just love the engineer's approach behind this study:"... the intellectual effectiveness of a human can be significantly improved by an engineering-like approach toward redesigning changeable components of a system."

Serverless is really the wrong term to use here. That refers to a specific way of handling cloud infrastructure (the point being that there are still servers, you just don't care)

Excel is used for client-side only programs. There are no servers at all. All programs originally were client-side only originally because networks didn't exist.
Yeah it works and you don't need support contracts and then:

- Fidelity's "Minus Sign Mistake": loss of $1.3 billion
- TransAlta "Clerical Error": loss of $24 million
- Fannie Mae "Honest mistake": loss of $1.3 billion

Then you get employee turn over where new employees don't get "arcane" knowledge passed down by people who left and took their spreadsheet foo with them.

Excel does not have "access control", "auditing", "change tracking". Just getting work done is not enough.

order some mealworms online, put them in a bucket with oatmeal,throw in kittchen scraps -> perfect pet, never dies off unless you drown 'em.

U can use them to enrich your standard meal with protein, they have a great ratio protein/fat and you can make keto treats out of them or use them to make treats for the dog.
U can use them to feed your local fish, birds, hedgehogs, mice, rats.

They can be used to recycle certain types of plastic, and their composition doesn't change much. They usually don't like it moist(desert insects), but somehow they got in my terrarium and are thiving there.

I keep them around as another food source for times of starvation (kinda paranoid about crisis).

Fastest way of killing them is by drowning, they'll move forever in a microwave or frying pan.

They'll eat anything that contains moisture, preferably protein. I've fed them roadkill, eggshells(they scrape the inside of the shell and make it pretty brittle), other insects, all kinds of veggies, a few of them die when there's pesticides on the food - a good way to test your local veggies for them.

The only thing they won't touch is a cookie from McDonalds. If even the bugs avoid that we shouldn't prolly be eating that.

The larvae and pupae are edible, the bugs are yummy to birds, but I wouldn't try one, they smell bad when stressed. The bugs can fly and will if there's over population or not enough food. Bugs love protein as well, but seem to be doing fine just with cardboard and occasional water spraying.
This is a personal project in which I downloaded, parsed, listened to, and physically indexed every one of my uses of Google's Voice Assistant technology. It is an attempt to get some insight into both the amount and type of metadata contained in these audio recordings, as well as an attempt at understanding the kinds of conclusions that could be drawn from it by people working on 'surveillance capitalism' products.

It consists of 698 annotated index cards and my full voice search audio archive.
This is very short sighted behaviour on the part of China. Clearly world business will avoid the country if they feel their personal security is at risk due to political interference in the judicial system. International supply chains will now seek to avoid China if at all possible.
Scrape and EDA on Hacker News - Who is hiring
It's a simple tradeoff right. I could spend 200 days of my life scheduling and taking regular screenings for every disease I can find, or I could do no screenings and have a 5 percent chance of dying 5 years younger.

No screenings wins.
It seems like a well-meant idea but how do you prevent it becoming exploitative? Exposing dementia patients to random members of the public in a service role with no understanding of the state of their condition seems like a pretty good way of frequently upsetting them. And how does employment by consent work when you can't actually quite remember why you're in a situation and how you got there?

It sounds like - probably to address these concerns - this is a short-lived 'activity' rather than a going concern, potentially with hand-selected and well-briefed guests rather than arbitrary customers off the street.

Ok, so this comment is so cliche it's getting hard to ignore. Yes, JavaScript is abused but the problem is that people by large enjoy these types of site.

I've never heard my parents or non-developer friends complain about a site using too much JavaScript, but if I show them Hacker News or old.reddit.com, they'll complain it looks ugly and hard to read/use and really do lose interest in it immediately.

Anyway, I fail to see how this is a problem of JavaScript. Replace JavaScript with any other language in the browser and you'll see exactly the same abuse happen.

If you really dislike JS so much, do what I do and disable JavaScript in the browser. If a site doesn't work I don't use it. People on Hacker News seem to want the web to revolve around themselves but it never has done and never will.

> I only want it easier to not do that.

I'd rather want it to stay easy, but offer better refactor tools to clean up the model after the fact.

My main complaint against spreadsheets is that, to get a robust and clean model, you must plan from it from the start, negating the main value of using a spreadsheet to begin with. When moving data and formulas around, it's too easy to break the formulas and not even notice.
The phones are labeled "Assembled in India", not "Made in India", and have less than 30% locally sourced materials. There is some discussion to possibly meet this level eventually, but it is not currently the case.
One of the “first games”?

What on earth do you mean?
Yes I've heard of that through the Paris experiment cited in this article. Although when I talked about it with Parisian friends :

* Cyclists have not heard of it and keep getting insulted daily for behaviors allowed by this experiment
* Motorist had the typical knee-jerk reaction along the lines of "This is crazy! Cyclists are madmen! Actual dangers to pedestrians and to themselves, ..." yadda yadda

Of course I don't assume that every cyclist I talked with is respectful of the actual crossroads where this is enforced so my little biased survey is worth nothing.

But I guess if it's not backed up with proper propaganda this kind of new road rules are doomed to create new tensions between cyclists and motorist.

Or just give cyclists proper protected bike lanes, like there have in the Netherlands. But I kind of have lost hope on the French Government and Community Governments for that.

Actually, he says it's 0-15 percent, which I've always assumed is just the granularity of the study to which he refers.

Alternatively, since those retraining programs were focused on specific industries or occupations in manufacturing in specific regions, maybe it's the range of results in those occupations/regions.

Never heard him say specifically 17 percent (and I have pretty much watched everything Andrew Yang related ;)

In addition to search engines and Stack Overflow, I'd include open-source software (and easy access to it via package managers, GitHub, etc.) as a massive productivity boost. I think that's in line with the process you described, of gluing together existing modules/solutions to accomplish purpose-specific tasks.

From the perspective of augmenting the intellect via computers and software, I feel quite blessed to be living in the current historical time - at the same time, we're still far from Doug Englebart's vision, especially for the general, non-programming public.

I also wonder about the "atrophy" that may come from depending on external augmentation, that we may be losing the ability to do things directly with "raw" intellect, without machines.
Impressive, aren't they? The industrial muscle keeping people warm and happy.

I assume Germany has a modern program of mine rehabilitation, so you're only able to see the parts that are currently part of the active mine. The historic mine footprint of an old mine is probably twice or thrice what is visible; much larger but invisible from satellite because it has been rehabilitated.

Eg, the area just north-west of Tagebau Hambach is probably mine rehab; you can tell because it is a deeper green than the surrounding farmland and if you look closely the massive contours of the waste emplacement areas might be visible.
Note that the reason why Excel is popular is precisely because people "don't try to fix the user", but instead develop software solutions tailored to address (author's misunderstanding of) a specific use case users have. The problem is, the specifics of that use case changes much faster than the dedicated software can be updated.

Processes that are thoroughly understood are easy to automate. Those that aren't, require competent people with flexible tools. Excel is a flexible tool. Competence can be gained through training.

One question about the code, why does the LedPanel struct use a String as a buffer rather than using a Vec<u8>?

edit - I think I see the reason now. Using a string made it easy to print the u8 as a string of bits, which you could then iterate over using chars. This was used to help perform the conversion from bits directly representing colors to the on the wire representation.
