Hi friend,

Yes, do not try this in production yet.

Currently, this library works only on Repl.it for the exact reason.

This is why you see the headline with "an attempt". :)
A slight impediment to that is that ArXiv discards PDFs that have not been accessed in a while, and rebuilds them from TeX source if later accessed. The result may not have the same hash - I sometimes even see ArXiv PDFs with today's date in them despite being published a long time ago, because the author used the \today macro. So you would need reproducible builds for the hashes to be valid, or for ArXiv to no longer have the storage concerns thst lead them to this practice. Or you could hash the TeX I suppose.
Its a normal part of me looking up manifestos and videos that other media sites dance around when I want to know what happened.

I'll browse a twitter thread for a good 30 seconds after being made aware of a mass shooting, if everyone is congratulating each other for not saying someone's name and not posting the gopro video I'll just go straight to 4chan or 8chan.
These people know exactly what they are doing, they're the revolutionary fighters.
Aw thanks!
Mind that Bitkom claims to represent German IT companies, but its leading members are (among others) Google (Google Commerce Limited, Google Germany GmbH), Facebook Germany GmbH, Microsoft (Microsoft Deutschland GmbH, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, LinkedIn Germany GmbH)

Bitkom is know to promote weak privacy rules and big data analysis.
Do you have some sort of timeline for this “sucking of wealth from European nations”? What are some of the actions/consequences as you see them?

That innovation could be simply disallowing most of the data gathering/sharing outright.
> Innovation will never happen there

How does forbidding hostile user data harvesting means that innovation will never happen?
The journal version and the arxiv version will never hash to the same value because they are not bit-identical. But you want to link to the peer reviewed version, or one which is semantically identical to the peer reviewed version. So somebody needs to check that the arxiv version is semantically identical to the journal version.

"Hinting" is a combination of techniques. Subpixel placement hinting is done by the shaper, which would be HarfBuzz in this case. Metrics hinting (adjusting the glyph width) is done by a combination of the shaper and the renderer, which would be HarfBuzz and FreeType. Outline hinting (fitting outline to the grid by distoring shapes without) is done by FreeType.

Behdad Esfahboh, the author of HarfBuzz, has a great paper on the different choices and tradeoffs here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wpzgGMqXgit6FBVaO76epnnF...
You missed the whole point of the comment you replied to. You can detect the format of the SSN, but you can't reliably tell that it actually is a SSN, and not some other type of identifier.
> Given enough SSNs as training data, could someone make an ML model that churns our mostly valid SSNs?

Most SSNs are deterministically derived. Given a single valid SSN, you can often generate millions of valid preceding values.
I think it’s both
Many fields do peer review just fine without help from academic publishers.

All academic publishers contribute to the process is an early-2000s web interface.
I think 3 way redundancy would be about right for a massive, mission critical government cloud.

Apart from fail-over/redundancy benefits, it would avoid lock-in and drastically improve negotiating leverage that could force ongoing competitivenes and accountability.

The effort could be open sourced, which would have industry-wide economic benefits.
Even the most developed countries are very much quilty of the same. Just a week ago we had a thread about deforestation of the Pacific temperate rainforests.

Don't you need at least one other piece of identifying info to make that useful? Like, I could churn out mostly valid gmail passwords all day, but I have no idea which users have those passwords.
Is it maybe easier to capture the rain that falls from the sky instead?

The rain that falls from the sky is salt-free, right? It then becomes salty when it touches the ocean?
And what happens when the 2 computers disagree? I thought 3 was standard practice for this sort of thing.
Also the "without enhancing customer protection" is not correct. The mere act of loading a page with the like button causes data to go to fb

One solution would be to have a "turn on like" button, but the image solution that some comments point out seems like a good option as well

(Or fb could have data sent only when the person clicked the button, but that's unlikely to happen)
Marital status too...
Is the belief really that age is irrelevant to mental performance, or do we just want people to be able to continue being employed for moral reasons?
It be better if it were actually a native application rather than a web 'app' that uses a local webserver instead of headless chrome. They've traded security for ease of cross platform development. That's not a great choice for software that markets itself based on those traits.
The popovers are the result of government innovation. I'm skeptical whether it's actually possible to get people to read the privacy policy before using a website.
Considering the number of such stations, explosions are rather rare, although one did recently explode in the USA. It turns out to be difficult to get a decent explosion out of bulk liquid petrol. Even setting it on fire is not as easy as some think. Try it with liquid diesel, practically inert. What you really need for a good time is empty petrol tanks.
what's really missing in all this GDPR and privacy discussion is a technical way to enforce it. If you have a large multinational company with 50 TLD's you might have several hundred (including all the subdomains) that are Internet facing.

For a company on that scale to remain compliant to things like cookie law (mention every cookie and what it does for opt-in) there is no easy way to see if you're compliant. We need some standard (like security.txt) which defines how cookie data, impressum or other site specific links are expected which has to be machine readable. Right now every company creates it's own mess of html which is no fun scraping to figure out if the company is compliant or not. (yet scraping is what everyone in compliance expects to happen).

I wonder how these laws can be enforced without creating a huge administrative backlog.
Are you seriously entertaining the idea that Github should pour resources into developing a SSN detection pipeline?

Why don't they also flag repositories with lots of names, those are PII. Too many addresses? That's a red flag.

Why would you even for a second entertain this nonsense? Non-technical people who think this:

https://github.com/Hack-with-Github/Awesome-Hacking

is a smoking gun to prove Github as a company is supporting hackers are the ones putting forth this idea, no one with any technical knowledge should come close to supporting this.
>These twenty page privacy policies that I agree to with a flick of the scrollbar and a button click, or these equally boring popovers when I visit a site, are where the governmental innovation needs to happen next.

If the sites are relying on consent as their legal basis for processing personal data then hiding it in those policies is 100% a violation of the GDPR.

Enforcement action is unlikely to make headlines, though as it'd be such an open-and-shut case it won't even make a courtroom. The supervisory authorities will just impose administrative fines.
Tears of joy.
Good point. But "fairy low value" doesn't equal to "completely useless", an example would be the photographs on Flickr, it was the largest collection of photos available under the CC BY license, and at least Wikipedia was one of the largest project being benefited from it. Also, I could publish my work under the Sunset License before I permanently license a copyrighted book/research paper to a Big Publisher, because the license is non-revocable, the license can effectively prevent the publisher from locking it up forever, without some possible objections when using CC-BY or CC-0.
Yeah, that peer review thing is pretty unbiased. If you can change words in Mein Kampf, submit it to multiple journals, have it peer reviewed and published... it kind of tells you what their "academic" system is really about. Politics, not truth. Watch the youtube video :)

Low density is only a problem for high population density, high latitude Europe. But if Europe decides "no, we're going with nuclear" then how can they compete with low latitude solar that's going to be nearly an order of magnitude cheaper?

Renewables will be fine for Europe once all the heavy industry is gone.
Do facebook Like button really matter anymore? I mean my page has over 5000 likes but there's almost nil traffic on my blog through my page. I have removed like button from my website and nothing has been impacted
That changed in 2011. Now they are random. But it is still true for older numbers.

> "don't touch it except to add things, you have no idea what depends on that chunk of code"

To me that's just a symptom of a system that lacks good test coverage. Being able to remove things that you believe to be unused and seeing if it's safe or not is one of the biggest benefits of test coverage. That and, of course, knowing if your "fix" doesn't break things far away that depend on it.
Yes indeed, much easier. The problem is that the places where you need desalination tend to be the places without much rain.
Many European supervisory authorities are investigating these right now.

I'd expect the first enforcement action to come either this year or early next year.
I was part of a project that helped bring a usable Linux distribution on this line of palmtops -- JLime (you can find references on the net, but the main site has since gone dark). This includes the 620LX, 660LX, 680 and 690 (based on SH-3 processors), as well as the 710 and 720 (based on ARM processors).

I personally had the 690, which was suprisingly usable (and probably still is), even with its 133MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM. Finding and porting software was, even in ~2006, especially hard, given the hardware constraints and unique screen aspect ratio (640x240 resolution).

I still have the page for the distribution up here[0], and a software repository set up here[1], in case the author (if they see this) or anyone else that has any of these machines stashed away is feeling adventurous...

Compared to Apple News? It serves the same purpose but gives more control to publishers.
I just think coming at it from the angle that article did (re: the article title) is framing things the wrong way. The census report they used is more in line with what I think we're both saying here:

The founding principles of the USA prevent things like compulsory voting laws. It is illiberal, and contrary to the principles. I don't know what the founding principles of Australia are/ were, but I'm pretty sure it was a Commonwealth country until somewhat recently.

The unease from the industrial revolution, 2 world wars, and the Great Depression allowed much of the original American vision to be eroded for expediency. People who fail to understand history, are doomed to repeat it.

"Ask HN: Germans, how to work legally remote?"
My dad was part of this unit.

Back around 1994 we were talking about data and I was telling him about CD-ROMs and how you could buy libraries with public address and phone records. He was ecstatic at the prospect of finding his fellow veterans of the 23rd and the 3132. He would give me lists of names that I would look up for him with potential matching phone numbers. He ended up getting in contact with around 150 men and helped organize what became yearly reunions in the late 1990s because of our research. It was one of the best side research projects I ever did. This was all before Google and online phone search indexes.

My dad passed away in 2005 and I so wish he was here still to see how much attention and recognition the Ghost Army has received. I always felt that much of the attention and recognition the Ghost Army has finally received over the years were in part from my dad's efforts to reach out and help organize the reunions and reconnecting with so many of the veterans in this unit.
True. I do like aspects of the "duties > rights" mindset, though - it becomes clear that the person with a duty is responsible for the whole job, and not just the parts that line up with specific rights.

For example, in the U.S. there's a culture that if a government is not infringing on the rights of its citizens, it has done enough. For example, the secretary of state that runs my DMV does a good job of respecting the human rights of the disabled, and a good job of respecting the human rights of their employees, but I don't get the feeling they feel compelled to provide good service.

If they had a duty to be the best administrator of a DMV around, they would need to be focused on accessibility, their employees, and the level of service provided to their customers. An administrator who did not focus on providing great service could be chastised for that in a way I don't see happening (in my state, at least).

I’m all for improving Python, but as feedback on the minimal website, the impression this gives is you’re working on the npmification of Python libraries. (I don’t mean that as a good thing.)

Ask HN: Are “progressive” tech companies actually narcissistic?
In the past few years I've realized I was raised by narcissistic parents and since then I've started to wonder how much the tech companies we work at have in common with them.

For example, my parents made it seem like our family was very special, and I was lucky to be a part of it, because most other families suck and this one didn't. The reality is most families don't suck nearly to the extent my parents claim, and in fact our own family sucks way more than they claimed.

We say so often that traditional, boring industries are awful to work at. And that we're lucky to be working where we do. But in reality what I'm beginning to see is a bunch of CEOs/executive teams taking advantage of young adults who don't know (yet) what it means to have work-life balance and who are yearning to be a part of a community. So while the tech industry says "we don't hire old people because they're too far behind the times and we need to disrupt them", it's more like "we don't hire old people because they won't let their work-life boundaries get stomped on and they aren't going to enmesh their identity with their workplace".

Another example is my parents laid out expectations very poorly. I often had to second-guess what they said and try figure out what they really wanted, and it felt like I was walking on a minefield. A similar thing happens at these tech companies when they say flexible hours, flexible vacation, and flexible "you can choose what you want to work on".

So I propose this as a topic to debate: We think the tech industry is progressive and we have a lot to teach other industries but the industry is actually regressive and destroying traditions that benefit employees.
> since I dont have a degree in CS, I can't be selbständig in that field

Wtf? Is there a rationale for this rule or is it just German's super weird "degrees are everything" culture turned to law?

(I'm Dutch, were basically Germans who talk funny, but I'm very happy we don't have rules like these)

Hi friend,
This is a humble beginning. Now docs are in YAML-like format and soon they will be published in readable/interactive format on our new website.
For now, I just wanted to share it earlier and to involve other developers in the process.

Thanks for understanding. ;)
I can run MSpec to completion for language, core, and library specs. Thank you for the encouragement :D.

I've implemented a runner that can skip known things that cause the spec to hang (e.g. Mutex specs since Artichoke has a single-threaded implementation of Mutex that deadlocks during the specs).

$ pushd spec-runner/vendor/ruby/language
$ cargo run --bin spec-runner **/*.rb
Passed 1078, skipped 35, not implemented 2, failed 476 specs.
$ popd; pushd spec-runner/vendor/ruby/core
$ cargo run --bin spec-runner **/*.rb
Passed 5412, skipped 998, not implemented 201, failed 8629 specs.
$ popd; pushd spec-runner/vendor/ruby/library
$ cargo run --bin spec-runner **/*.rb
Passed 0, skipped 22, not implemented 16, failed 3276 specs.

The library specs pass number is a bug in my spec runner. All packages added to Artichoke pass ruby/spec. Those packages are : delegate, forwardable, json, monitor, ostruct, set, srscan, and uri.

Less innovation in user-hostile practices, of course!
While writing this blog post I've discovered that way more people have hearing problems than actually buy hearing aids.
The largest part is the expense, but another part is the stigma. No one wants to wear a hearing aid if they're under the age of forty or so.

It's a damn shame that years after this became a thing we are still waiting for a proper commercial product to hit the market at a reasonable price, I had a male relative with T1 diabetes and it was a complete burden on his life, We have the technology to improve peoples lives markedly (because we already did) but because of what the author mentioned in the article and the lack of "skin in the game" manufacturers are still dicking about and a lot of this only works because those manufacturers couldn't secure a blowjob in a brothel.

$8000 is just insane (yes I know FDA approval, testing all that jazz) but there ~1.3m Americans with Type 1 diabetes alone, there is a massive demand for a cost effective product at scale.

Like a few others here, the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000. I've been using it across Mac and Linux installs for years. It might be harder for some games, but it is the best keyboard I've tried. I think if they made a mechanical version, it might just be perfect.

I think cost is a large factor because retirees have fixed income. If insurance pays for a two thousand dollar hearing aid that lasts three years, you get it. If insurance doesn't pay, you become socially isolated.

Do you know of other hearing aid options cheap enough to not require being covered by insurance?
Reading this makes me want to find a good biography of Gates or the story of how Microsoft came to be. Any suggestions?
>You seem to be arguing against yourself.

No, you don't understand that the "you" that is the sum of your experience and history, and the "you" of a clone are different you's. If you die and clone lives on, you won't wake up the next day in the body of the clone, your history has come to an end. Your copy is only like you, but not you.

It doesn't matter if you're emulated, because the same would happen to the emulation, a fork of a emulation won't mean that the emulation would wake up in the body of the fork.
According to gunviolencearchive (https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/), there were 251 mass shootings in the USA since the beginning of 2019. I don't know if this number is correct, but I just can't understand why guns are still allowed in USA.

And like most retreating forces, they likely had leave-behinds and friendly locals reporting in. Since locals wouldn't be able to get close, "it sounded like a bunch of tanks!" and "it looked like some tanks!" would have worked pretty well.

I saw a scooter traveling in a bike lane, and it seems like encouraging that combined with more bike lanes could be great. Traveling by car or transit with a bike to go the last few miles in the bay area is common, and I am honked at and cut off and pulled over almost every day on my bike and it could be better, as there is no economical bike path even between big cities on the peninsula just 5-10 miles apart... scooters could be used all along my daily path and bikes would instantly fill the lanes. Maids and landscapers could also switch to utility bikes if we connected wealthy and poor areas.
