The black matrix glass in an LCD is typically accurate to a few microns since it's made in a photolithography process. If you couple that with a microscope/camera (e.g. mounted where your tool usually goes) you can use that to calibrate your CNC mill across its work area with some machine vision software. This is probably going to be a lot cheaper and simpler than using interferometers and for any practical purpose should have better accuracy than what you can expect to ever get out of a regular CNC mill. I'm not sure if you can just buy those somewhere or you'd take a display apart or something along those lines...

I have to laugh a little at the naivete of thinking that a credit reporting company shows you everything they know about you on a credit report. They don't even show you everything they show loan companies who pull your report.
That sounds like a great thing to raise as an issue in an election. Lots of voters might care about that. However, we have a First Amendment, so it's not against the law for anyone to talk to anyone else. That's the case whether it's some weird social media thing like those pictures of Bernie with big muscles or an actual true fact like that the DNC staff sent emails to each other discussing how they had screwed over Bernie. That is strictly legal, whether it is done by Russians or by the Citizens United dudes or by the actual Wikipedia source.
Nobody needs to discover what drugs are suitable for them. This is medicine, not a restaurant menu.

If you're diagnosed with a medical condition or have a specific ailment, then you can investigate potential treatments.

The status quo "compromise" solution gets this exactly backwards. "This drug will make your life better. So ask your doctor so they'll comb through your medical records and history looking for something kind of like what we claim to treat[1], so they can prescribe our drug for you." Lies and failure to mention side effects are not the only problem with advertising. The problem with advertising is that it seeks to persuade people, using every trick in the book short of actionable lies and omissions, to buy drugs that even doctors can't properly evaluate because drug research is pathologically flawed. And those advertising tricks are effective at getting people to buy drugs which they don't need and which will do harm, because most drugs do some kind of measurable harm whether it's potential liver or kidney damage or increased risk of dementia or cardiovascular problems or cancer or whatever.

Pharma companies that seek to extract rent from your "conditions" are the last entities you want telling you what you might have, and they're the least trustworthy entities to be allowed to get you thinking that their drug might be your best option for treating your "condition" because you heard about theirs first and they made sure their advertisement stuck a bunch of positive associations to it in your mind.

"Ask your doctor about our drug instead of asking for advice on whether other things, including exercise, eating better, and getting better sleep might help, because those take time and effort and you have no time and no willpower except when you're dancing in a field of flowers like we showed you doing when our drugs solve all your problems so you should pay us rent for life for your 'medical condition'."

[1] Have you noticed most drug advertisements don't even claim to treat anything specific, or are intentionally vague? The charitable explanation is that the condition is often something taboo or embarrassing, but I think a bigger part of the reason is that pharma doesn't want you losing interest in the drug before you ask your doctor about it.
That sounds super interesting, can you share a link?

Everything can be derived from nothing.

A side note, from some discussion of ethnomathematics over the years, many are surprised to hear that one of Leibniz's contributions as a state philosopher was proposing policies such as the "Egyptian Plan" to Louis XIV with addendums bearing titles that speak to a particular world-view.

Example : "A Method to Institute a New, Invincible Militia That Can Subjugate the Entire Earth, Easily Seize Control over Egypt or Establish American Colonies". Essentially he wanted to take remote islands, clear them of their population, inhabit them with what he considered to be "a fine bunch of subhuman beasts" - being people orphaned from their respective regions and raised in military tradition towards perfect subservience to their masters.
Is bauxite really new cargo? Or do they mean ship-operators need to be careful when switching to bauxite cargo?

My read on it was that bauxite was new as a solid bulk cargo, not that bauxite itself was a new cargo in general. I know nothing of the industry however, so I'm not sure whether this is a legitimate interpretation or not.
I think this is needlessly inflammatory. I agree with Trump on this and I’m sure many here do as well. No one has yet said, “orange man bad” so we shouldn’t conjure up that bug bear until it happens, it detracts from good faith conversation.

Most cities develop a budget, then set property tax rates to generate revenue. This is why cities with $200k homes have similar per capita budgets as cities with $800k homes.

So if you repealed prop 13, the result would likely be a more equitable approach to property taxes, with those protected by prop 13 paying more and everyone else paying less.
Maybe stuck in regulatory limbo, not unlike most projects in the city? https://socketsite.com/archives/2011/03/802_804_808_steiner_...

It's not about the history but the basics of computing. The boards can have multicore superscalar high-performance RISC-V CPUs, for all I care. From there you can go and develop a detailed understanding of more advanced devices and systems, if you choose to. I'm not against computers in school. They can be convenient and practical tools. Heck, I want computers in school, just not for just having computers in school.

Demanding every child in 7th grade to buy an iPad for math courses, so they can write on them instead of on paper, will not teach them about computers. They use them only as tools for the convenience (actually, they aren't more convenient; paper is extremely convenient for math), and the school has the possibility to say 'hey look, we are modern and digital!'. That is snake oil. The kids won't learn a thing about the excessively expensive status symbol devices they are forced to buy, especially not with Apple products of all. This is alienating them from what computers are; universal machines.

I don't have in my mind children that 'balk like cavemen at modern computers'. I think of children that can get excited about advanced hardware and systems, and see all the possibilities. They'd ask for the battery run time, for the computing capacity, for the I/O abilities, or the instruction set, etc. And they'd want to code the machine to do things they deem useful. That curiosity is not just not nourished, it is killed how it is done now.

Driving school has different goals. Cars are products that are dangerous when their operator is not trained. So the driving school is there to train people to operate these machines safely. General public school has the goal to prepare children with general knowledge, a basis to build on, so they can be informed citizens. Democracies crucially depend on that.

Not nearly enough has been written about "travel as status-seeking". It is for some a way to portray that you're not materialistic, but still dunk on all the poors and other outgroup members while blowing thousands of dollars on what is ultimately a luxury. The sub-category of "travel as wasteful mating signal & ritual" deserves another novel on top of this.

It didn't help that for several years (though it has thankfully tapered off) there was a constant stream of "lifestyle" articles proclaiming that mass tourism "experiences" to capture some photo-totem were the scientifically confirmed path to happiness.

I know at least a few people who didn't realize they had an ailment until seeing the symptoms listed on an ad. There is a balance between promoting new drugs (and the affiliated afflictions) to the general public and pushing medicines to doctors.
Dual stack (run both and try to use v6 first) and NAT64 (run IPv6 only and NAT to v4 at the edge) are the main methods today. The former is more common inside homes/enterprises while the latter is more common in modern large carrier networks such as mobile phones since the alternative would be to CGNAT (double NAT) anyways and that creates more problems for clients than NAT64 (+more work to deploy).

Not to say CGNAT is unheard of, particularly if the network was large, old, and needed to expand.

You're right. I think the distinction comes down to companies like Amazon having the kind of vast capital required to not only cut out the middle man but to _become_ the middle man in their own market.

In most cases, a market (in the specific sense, like a store or a site) will white label a product and undercut competitors by leveraging the volume/wholesale pricing that they can get. What's truly dangerous about the AMZNs and GOOGs (and Standard Oils and Ma Bells) of the world is that they can use brute monetary force to buy or subsume competition. To quote the legendary SF grifter Jack Black, "You can't win."
Wetherell was not involved with launching retweet, and didn't implement much (maybe any?) of the code in that Nov 2009 launch. He probably did write a version of the frontend for retweet at some point, and had done some backend code, but all of that was largely rewritten by launch day.

To be fair, he probably didn't claim that, but making his involvement out to be more than it was probably did well for the article.

I hear this a lot - but are people really watching longform political YouTube videos and passively letting the algorithm choose their next video for extended periods of time? I very rarely watch a political video on YouTube but when I do it's usually linked from a site like Reddit, and then I'm very unlikely to watch the next video in the queue after it finishes.

If the algorithm actually does suggest more and more radical videos I wonder if it's a case of reverse causation - the algorithm suggests a more radical video because it learns what people actually want to do and choose to do, which is watch the most outrageous and/or bloodcurdling video out of the options presented to them?
I don't know. I agree that everyone thinks, or ought to think, it's BS. But everyone thinks, or ought to think, that open offices are BS and companies are all going for those because it saves on costs. "Unlimited" vacation is the same: in practice, I think people are going to take less vacation because there are no clear rules about what's appropriate, and "unlimited" vacation isn't accrued so it's not a payable benefit like set vacation hours. That second one is a big one. If I get fired or quit or roll over more vacation hours than my policy allows, CA requires that those hours be paid out. There's no such cost associated with "unlimited" hours.

To show my kids a bit about programming we made a simple rabbits-and-foxes simulation. Little dots moving around a rectangle drawn on the screen. The red ones were rabbits, would move mostly randomly, and would periodically make a baby rabbit. The blue ones were foxes and would chase nearby rabbits. When they caught one they'd eat it and make a baby fox.

Fun to watch but we found no matter how we set the initial counts of rabbits and foxes, inevitably there'd be a population spike of rabbits, which would cause a lot of foxes to be born, which would eat enough rabbits (sometimes ALL of them) that the rest of the foxes would starve and go extinct.

We tweaked all kinds of parameters about how they move and how they reproduce and nothing kept the system from oscillating into a broken state.

Eventually we added a "rabbit preserve" - an area rabbits could pass freely through but foxes couldn't enter. Just like that - the system was stable(ish). There would still be population peaks and valleys but as long as the preserve was reasonably large the rabbit population might crater but wouldn't crash.

Its a nice little project, easy to code and fun to watch

You are misunderstanding me.

Imagine we have infinite samples (i.e. a continuous brightness function), and we are using some radially symmetric reconstruction filter. Then the value of each output pixel is the sum (2d integral) of the brightness at the sample points multiplied by our function evaluated at the distance to the sample.

If our continuous brightness data consists of one color on one side of a line and a different color on the other side of the line, then if we take the contribution of every point in the plane and integrate them, the output value at our pixel is going to be a combination of the two colors lerp(color1, color2, x(d)), where x is some monotonic function of the minimum distance between the pixel center and the line, which will depend on the specific reconstruction filter we are using.

But as for the little square model: the linked article proposed that because it is being used right now, today, in many shipping vector graphics rasterizers, e.g. for fonts.

I agree with you that it yields suboptimal results, so I am proposing an alternative.

This is one of those threads that's going to be coopted as a way to flog arguments against either or both of the US or GitHub when the truth is almost certainly that it's just a mistake.

I'm aware of no US sanctions against Crimea. There are sanctions against Russia over the Crimean annexation, but those are targetted to specific industries (which certainly don't include some dude's open source game downloader) and in any case are not actually being enforced by the current administration for reasons that no one here wants to discuss.

They messed up. Or plausibly the author is actually not in Crimea or has some other undisclosed affiliation, I guess. But most likely they messed up and will fix it.
I'm sure HN will try throwing some shade here, but just about everyone has sanctioned Crimea, including Canada[1], the EU[2], and Ukraine itself. MasterCard, Visa, Discover, PayPal, etc., etc. also don't work in Crimea.

What are the obvious reasons? I'll presume you are referring to disclosure of the card number.

I had this discussion recently about 'security' with regard to X-Header versus ?query=param. Either it's http all plaintext on the network or it's http with tls all cyphertext on the network. Every bit in the http request and response is equivalent - verb, path, headers, body, etc - agree?

You could represent the card number as cyphertext in the request body, that's a good practice regardless of tls, but of course don't roll your own crypto. You could put that cyphertext in the path as well but if the cyphertext isn't stable that makes for a huge mess of paths.

You could make a case for trad 'combined' access logs situation with the path disclosed in log files. I can appreciate keeping uris 'clean' makes it safe to integrate a world of http monitoring tools, I would make this argument. In the case of the card represented in a stable cyphertext it's kinda cool to expose it safely to those tools.

Anything else?
