It shows only 2~3% of V8 performance. But it enough for running simple embedded script. And thing is it meets JS standards. At starting you can embed it into your SW easily, and provide scripting functionality. And when your SW grow enough, and have heavy scripts, you can migrate to V8 since there is compatibility.
Besides the dangers of getting involved, it's sometimes hard to tell whether something is a serious incident or just people fooling around. I've seen both sides of this: Guys I assumed to be friends jokingly greeting each other while in fact one was starting a serious fight and the other one was too drunk to react appropriately. At some other time, I saw a woman yelling at a man, while he was somehow holding her. Seconds later, they were laughing and walking off side by side.

Could you explain in what quantifiable quality German tanks were the best-in-class. You mention performance but German tanks were not the best for mileage, ease of repair or survivability, which make up the holy trinity of tanks: firepower, protection and mobility.

Firepower is also arguable, plenty of Allied tanks could engage German tanks at comparable ranges. For example, after the war, the Soviets tested their tank guns against German ones and concluded that they had similar performance and penetration. Also, in the beginning of the war, the Soviet T-34 and Kv-1 outclassed all German tanks of the early war.

You've extrapolated too far from their statement. Most people have probably been in this kind of situation and most of us have probably been burned by it at some point: Use a product for an edge case of its intended function and you risk losing that functionality at some point.

Vendors will generally cater for the masses. Where possible, avoid building your usage model around niche features. Assume that free products/features are a loss leader and will disappear at some point. Have a contingency plan if the at-risk feature is particularly important to you.
This kind of shit coming from Microsoft is fucking rich. Then why do I have to change my password constantly on outlook and get routed to at least two different types of password change servers, one with rules stupider than another? Especially when I'm trying to use a password manager with a strong, long, random password and they are preventing me from doing so with their shitty UX and their limitation on characters? They should take their own fucking advice because you know what else reduces security? The stupid bullshit I described above. Now I just use a base password (that's probably been compromised) and increase the last digit by one each time. Insecure? You betcha. But it's for work and it was work's decision to use outlook so not my problem. Microsoft should either shut the fuck up about this shit or fix their own fucking systems. Of course it doesn't matter what password you use in such a shit system (outside of a password manager generated one). And they have intentionally created a situation that makes the passwords even less secure.

Maybe not in Polish (nor in Slovak) but in same languages this is indeed the usual way to import foreign words and also names. I seem to remember Bulgarian or Serbian film posters with Жан Рено (Jean Reno), because that's how it's pronounced. Also I think several East-Asian languages do this.
Well, that’s several hundred dollars of their software which I would have happily bought if they’d told me about it.
Again, 10000 - 13000 years ago is much closer to us than the Neanderthals are to the ancient Aboriginal Australians or the ancient Hebrewes. And this stories, if they indeed are 13,000 years old, are by far the oldest example we have.
Based on the simulations they ran according to historical data, they concluded that the Germans would have thought they had air supremancy even if that was impossible, even with the Germans continuing to bomb RAF bases long after they switched to cities.

Honestly, I figured the GP would get a kick out of reading about a hypothetical war game of the scenario they envisioned.

Yeah it’s very well done from that point of view.

I’ve looked at such captures before and been kinda lost, the explanation is really great here.
Excel goes one step further, and assumes that users in some locales (e.g., Dutch) want semicolons as separators in every CSV file you open in Excel.

I don't care (I just use LibreOffice Calc, which accepts any delimited values file just fine, and just asks which separator to assume), but it means that when you develop an option for users to download some statistical data as comma-separated values file (which is easy to generate), that you now have a problem if that user wants to open it in Excel (which makes sense for CSV) and that user is using one of Excel's broken locales (e.g., Dutch) where comma-separated values are not understood (again, it wants semicolons in Dutch).

I.e., the expected file format changes because of the locale Excel uses! So where someone in the US can just double click the CSV file (not to mention anyone using LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc anywhere in the world), someone using Excel in the Netherlands will just get a spreadsheet where every line consists of that whole line of values stuffed into column A.

Violence in sports 100% sucks, but I can pretty much say that most of these people do not see it as a joke. Talking about history, here's one very famous and pretty old sports-related rivalry that was not a joke at all, as tens of thousands of people ended up dying [1]:

> The Nika riots, or Nika revolt, took place against Emperor Justinian I in Constantinople over the course of a week in 532 AD. They were the most violent riots in the city's history, with nearly half of Constantinople being burned or destroyed and tens of thousands of people killed. (...) There were initially four major factional teams of chariot racing, differentiated by the colour of the uniform in which they competed; the colours were also worn by their supporters. These were the Blues, the Greens, the Reds, and the Whites, although by the Byzantine era the only teams with any influence were the Blues and Greens. Emperor Justinian I was a supporter of the Blues.

On a more optimistic note sports supporting done right can absolutely give some sort of purpose to one's life (I know these are big words, but that's how I see things), for example if you look at these Aris Thessaloniki supporters chanting and supporting their (basketball) team [2] it's almost impossible not to get hyped up. Or these San Lorenzo fans [3]

Spreadsheets are great. I don't know any alternatives to spreadsheets, that does, what spreadsheets does, so well. And believe me, I have been searching for a long time.

That said, like any other tools, spreadsheets has it's perks and it's drawbacks. It's important to consider these drawbacks, when considering spreadsheets.

I am not setting a threshold, I just want to estimate the objective confidence level in our predictions.

When you say 'It is not a question of whether we have consequences or not, just a question "how bad"', it sounds like 100% confidence, but then you say that it is not 100%. So is it more like >99%? Or 70%? Or 10%? Or <1%?

And more specifically, what is the probability that reducing anthropogenic emissions to a certain target would result in us averting the predicted catastrophic scenario that otherwise would not have been averted?

When I worked support at a university, in the dim and distant past, it was our responsibility to clear the labs if a fire alarm went off. Students did just generally sit there until they were told to move.

I think if you have more than a dozen people in your org, it's a good idea to appoint a couple of them (in case one is on vacation/off sick/the arsonist) as fire wardens. Not least you have someone who is actually counting who is there so the fire service can get an idea of who might still be in the building.

Of course 99.9% of the time it doesn't matter, but that 0.1% can be very important.

I was shocked to learn about the difference a while back, especially concerning first aid. In Germany you are facing criminal charges if you dont aid injured people, by either first aid or calling an ambulance. Then you have countries where not even dragging a person out of a burning car is protected under good Samaritan laws.

It's not about "defending a company". That's the wrong way of looking at it. It's about HN not reporting on "..an article, about a blog post, about a random comment..." as if it's facts.

This reminds me of a concept I've read about in different sources regarding learning; the art of 'deliberate practice', something akin to maintaining a flow / staying in a goldilocks zone while incrementally increasing the difficulty level.

Just recently I listened to a podcast with Josh Waitzkin (learning expert, chess prodigy and subject of the film 'Searching for Bobby Fischer'), where he is now learning to surf with the aid of something called an eFoil:

"What’s been interesting is opposed to having two to four minutes of wave time a session surfing, I’ll have 54 minutes or so of wave time at faster speeds. What’s interesting is it also opens up the ability to do deliberate practice in surfing. Similar to investing, you have to be really creative in how you create deliberate practice in the surf world because the ocean is so unpredictable. It’s really difficult to replicate sections, to hit the same thing 10, 15, 20 times. In martial arts, you can just say, “I’m going to drill this thing 30 times today,” or 100 times or 200 times. Whether it’s a throw, or a technique, a submission. And then you can try that in training."

It seems to me as a web developer that our deliberate practice is the todo app, or whipping up a server, or integrating a new technology into a small project that can be completed in a day or 2, then repeating with nuance until it becomes automatic. The key seems to be to focus on a skill and then build, review, repeat - not many people learn to play a sport just by reading about it.

Excel is the closest we have come to no code tools and its been around for years.

Ms Access actually has a fairly decent way to build apps without really touching code, but it requires understanding relational databases enough to use it properly. Most (non technical) people end up using excel as a database instead.
I remember all these services being far less reliable in the past. The irony of us talking about the bygone era of stability in the context of Twitter is particularly hilarious.

I do think that internet services in general are much more mission critical, and the rate of improvement hasn’t necessarily kept up. It used to be not particularly newsworthy if an AWS EBS outage took out half the consumer internet several times per year, or if Google’s index silently didn’t update for a month, or when AOL (when they were by far largest ISP in the US) was down nationwide for 19 hours, or the second-biggest messaging app in the world went down for seven days.
I once had a contracting gig where I was tasked with updating a bunch of Word BASIC macros (this was Office 95 days...) used to maintain the ISO 9001 documentation for a major company.

Problem was the original version was written in their Danish office, and whoever wrote it had handed it to the Norwegian office exported as text before he left, and they'd imported it and started munging it and adding lots of stuff before someone bothered to try running it and realized it was completely broken. I wish I'd dug more into how they'd managed to get themselves into a situation where they'd significantly modified the code before trying to run it even once...

Version control? What is version control?

So they had this broken version that had some Danish keywords with a bunch of Norwegian updates, that they didn't want to just re-import into a Danish version and copy over properly in a tokenized form and having to try to identify and re-apply the Norwegian updates. So I got the fun job of properly translating it and figuring out what the new code was meant to do and make it do it in the process, with no access to any of the people who had worked on it.

[it is worth pointing out that this was an office for several hundred staff of a major international company that developed large scale information systems for things like police departments; while version control wasn't everywhere in the mid 90's, a large systems integrator certainly ought to be using it... Particularly amusing that it was their ISO 9001 documentation that was being handled in such a haphazard manner; happy to have never been a customer of theirs, though]

The task was extra "fun" for certain values of fun, because unlike, say, English vs Norwegian, or English vs Danish, Danish and Norwegian are close enough that 80% of the time a term from the Danish version might look right and be valid Norwegian, but the odds seemed to be (and maybe my memory is exaggerating it due to my lasting memory of extended pain) about 50/50 that the Norwegian translator of Word BASIC had chosen a different function name to the Danish translator for no good reason. Or there were slight, hard to spot, spelling differences. And sometimes what looked like a mistake was a function defined locally.

I spent a couple of weeks reading through the whole thing and mostly rewriting code that could have been written from scratch in a couple of days if they'd just told me what the end result was meant to be instead of dumping a pile of non-functioning code on me. But I guess I was cheap compared to their regular staff back then.

It was how I learned Word BASIC (I'd taken the contract, figuring it'd be easy to pick up, so I told the recruiter that sure I knew it, on the basis that I certainly knew a couple of variants of BASIC). Never to use it again (at it was replaced by a Visual Basic variant a few years later anyway)

For Lastpass at least, I have two specific examples: 1) in Lastpass, the password length selector is a drop down, not an input or a slider, while in 1password it is a slider. This means you need to scroll a bit to choose a longer length password in Lastpass. 2) 1password remembers your last location in the app when the app is open, so you don’t lose context (not every time but most of the time) but whenever I’ve closed Lastpass for some reason it forgets where I was at.
Yup, this is why you need to appoint fire marshals (and first aid) people at a workspace - you have to tell them that if the alarm goes off, this is their job and responsibility.

I mean in theory any alarm should make people panic a bit and start making their way to the exit, but in practice most alarms are false alarms so people don't know if they need to act.
> High level strategic play of most games is about adapting to your opponents play.

Is this true in any meaningful sense?

For heavily studied games there's usually a theoretically optimal play independent of the opponent's interior state, this is obviously true for all the "Solved" games, which includes the simpler Heads Up Limit Hold 'Em poker (solved by Alberta's Cepheus project) but it seem pretty clearly true for as-yet unsolved games like Go and Chess too.

I'm very impressed by this achievement because I had expected good multi-player poker AI (as opposed to simple colluding bots found online making money today) to be some years away. But I would not expect "adaptability" to ever be a sensible way forward for winning a single strategy game.

My experience with my Google home before I unplugged it is that it would randomly kick on - even in relative silence, unless the clack of a keyboard and maybe a fan whir could be misheard as "okay Google"

I would notice because it sat on my computer desk.
