Does this mean Axis of Awesome will finally get paid for Four Chord Song?

Hi - I think it is a great idea.And I saw the list - it seems good value.

However, wanted to understand the real value. Would you be creating links, and this is useful for SEO? I am unable to understand the exact service.

I for an example work directly with entrepreneurs while interviewing them on my series - https://womenhustlers.com.

Do you think, a service like this could help me reach out to more people looking to build profitable businesses(like the one I publish)?
This has already been done and failed: http://decknetwork.net/
I'm not really familiar with either song, but I do think it could be a coincidence. From a Music Theory perspective, they both appear to be in the key C (suddenly we're down to eight notes) and both in 4/4 time. Unfortunately the changes (chord progressions) aren't there but if this rests on melodic similarities then it's not hard for there to be similarities.

I was picking up my mail at my apartment complex when an Amazon delivery dude asked if I would let him in (the apartment requires a key fob to open doors to get access to the building). I told him he can just leave his packages at the leasing office like the other carriers do. He said his instructions say to leave the packages at the apartment door, so I told him maybe the people at the leasing office could help him out.

Back at my apartment, as I'm about to be at my door, I see the guy again, he's hitched a ride up the elevator as someone else let him on, and he's asking me where apartment #### is, I pointed to the sign by the stairwell with a map of the building.

The dude didn't seem very good at his job, and the fact that Amazon is instructing their delivery people to circumvent building security to leave packages at people's door is concerning.
Good points!

1 - It does have TLS/SSL, just changed the referring link to https and redirecting all http to https

2 - That's a fair assessment, check out https://algodaily.com/challenges/validate-palindrome for a sense of how it differs: a) the step-through visualization button helps you know what's going on at each step, b) the trivia style questions help you "piece together" the solution before answering it fully, and c) each walkthrough walks you through the actual solution step by step, in plain English.

This is actually going to be pretty sick for us at BlazingSQL. We are freaking frothing at the chance to be able to scale beyond system and gpu memory without having to shove data through pipes that are no longer needed.

RDMA will be a necessary building block for most of us that are working on HPC solutions and the fact that now we can directly access fast persistent storage from a GPU is going to allow us to scale several orders of magnitude bigger than we currently can.

I agree. "Born out of racism" is too strong. I'm not even sure what it means exactly. Was racism rampant at the time? Yes. But the war on drugs still would've happened if there was no racism.
Those rugurgitated figures on black vs white drug use vs convictions misses the boat. Go to any city and recognize the color of people that control the drug market. The majority of them are not white. The police don't focus on users, they focus on dealers-- that's where the violent crime is. If you don't want to buy drugs in the city, go to a jamband show. A microcosm of this phenomenon is the nitrous scene. Who makes up the nitrous mafia? Black dudes in black hoodies. They sell to nearly all-white hippies. If you try to sell nitrous(compete with the mafia) you will be beaten up or killed. The nitrous mess is a blight on the otherwise positive, peaceful music scene. If you were to try to stop it, who would you go after? The peaceful users who are in actuality the root of the problem, or the violent dealers?

> you will eventually run out of water.

In the context of the GP comment, isn't that entirely dependent on how deep your holes are? By definition, if you dig holes "deep enough", then you won't run out of water. And they are providing a concrete example of somewhere that they do dig holes deep enough to not run out of water (though I'm not sure how constrained the population growth is there).
* shrug* Coq users have the choice between using tactics and writing proof terms like Agda users. 99.9% of Coq users choose tactics 99.9% of the time. They might know something you don't know, or you might know something they don't know. You decide.

I'm not going to argue about a paper written by someone whose proficiency in Coq I cannot judge with someone who doesn't seem to know anything about Coq except having read this one paper.

F* looks very good in this comparison, which is great. As you wrote above, we need better tools, and F* is getting there. Simple things can be tedious in Coq, and F* 's automation should help there.

This is a simple and for some (like me) maybe a non-obvious approach. An excellent idea.

Perhaps you have a different definition of what normal means?

Punk rock would be a minefield. And that's all only come out of the blues (skipping some historical points) which relies heavily on "standards".

So many of the compositions along that tract are made up of three to five notes in a limited variety of voicings and arrangements.

> It doesn't take much effort to find articles claiming to have the 'truth' about the relationship between immigrants or refugees and Swedish crime. Yet the real truth is that there is no up-to-date public data on the ethnic background of criminals in the country, with existing figures more than a decade old.

Do you have reputable citations for Oslo/Norway crime by ethnic background that demonstrate what you assert? Norway says overall rates are down, which would be weird if the influx of refugees was increasing crime: https://www.tnp.no/norway/panorama/crime-rates-decrease-norw...
My guess they got so many performance gains by conceding a bit of data integrity or search accuracy or replication accuracy or something. Not sure whether it was accidental or on purpose but it seems a persistent behaviour.

Running the same very low result count returning search queries in other parts of googles data sprawl sometimes returns different sized outputs. There's more than one reason they stopped telling you how many search results there were, my guess is consistent inconsistencies is another.

Does it spoof? If X calls Y and gets forwarded to Z, does caller ID at Z show X or Y? As a possibly naive user, showing X seems like the right thing to do, since that's the number Z will be connected to if someone answers.
It seems like you don't need to have a complicated hashing and sharing network for that. A braindead scoring algorithm would cut the scammers off at the ankles.
Attractive nuisance is a tort, not a crime. No one gets arrested for it, they get sued if someone gets injured.

Speeding is arguably not victimless. Someone pointed out the "shooting into a crowd without hitting anyone" analogy, which is apt. You're engaging in immediately threatening and dangerous behavior.

Public intoxication is also not victimless; that's the "disorderly" part of "drunk and disorderly" (whether it gets enforced correctly/equally is a different discussion.) This is actually a great example of my point: you can get as drunk as you want, and no one will care until you start disturbing the peace, being belligerent, damaging property, urinating in public spaces, etc. If you're drunk and sitting in a bar quietly, it's not a problem. We don't arrest you because you might drive drunk later, we wait until you actually drive drunk. We treat other drugs completely differently.
I recommend this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4MuhPqfIk4

The whole channel really. If you ever felt like taking something apart to see how it works, in some of his videos he does that with songs. I didn't know people had access to stems of popular songs. And then there's music theory. It's like neuroscience. You push some piano keys (or what have you) and certain feelings appear. It's like programming but your whole work is presented to the user and there are no security issues. Really fun stuff.

But wouldn't he then have run into the confirmation delay of his transaction with the bar, i.e. either he would have to stay behind after payment until confirmations rolled in, or the bar would have had to eat the transaction risk?
It’s unlikely that, in a region that gets such snowstorms, a self-driving system that can’t handle them reaches 50% market penetration. That seems more like a “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” scenario.

I used to know the person who ran the Teens website on the BBC around 15 years ago. She was at a conference about protecting children online and spoke to someone from the section of the police who dealt with tracking and apprehending paedophiles who met online. Even back then he had seen online meeting points for paedophiles where the fact that they could speak to each other openly about what they wanted to do normalised what they were talking about, and that had lead to real-world consequences. I think about this often when reflecting on how this kind of depersonalised (in the sense of not being present) hate speech seems to be growing and what it might lead to.
Apple Pay is authenticated and completely different from normal contactless payments which are unauthenticated.

I didn't know this, so I concede, somewhat. But my broader point remains. Availability bias makes the problem seem much much larger than it actually is.
I no longer think that `#lang racket` will be allowed to become a second-class citizen.

The reason is: I think it's become glaringly obvious, to everyone, that a large percentage of Racketeers (including some of the educators) have no interest in any non-sexp language. If it were forced, the community would fork, in some way.

Matthew Flatt, for example, is a really first-rate developer, and of goodwill, and has some understanding of this.

I speculate it could take a month before any new discussion. People on academic calendars might be getting in a little vacation after the summer conference schedule, and then ramping up the new school year in a few weeks.

I am not a coder nor a lawyer.
I’m seeing this sort of implicit dialogue in all of this that goes like: “How much moderation/censorship would have been required to have prevented the El Paso shooter? However much that is, is how much we need”. This line of reasoning ought to scare the hell out of people, since we don’t actually have the slightest clue what actually set him off (he was on 8chan?)
Even if I could bring myself to believe the underlying premise: that, if not for 8chan, this guy would have gone on to be an ordinary, law-abiding, productive member of society, but that 8chan itself brainwashed him into becoming a mass murderer, I would _still_ be opposed to shutting it down (and then shutting down the next thing that replaces it, and the next thing that replaces that…) because we’re losing everything else that goes along with it.
It even says in the article it's a small subset of people working 60 hours a week. And they're probably getting paid either in comp or options.
The user interface tends to be a relatively dynamic part of the application.

Most of this is no longer as relevant in C++, can't speak for Rust. Programming languages have been converging for quite some time, C++ of today is more dynamic and convenient than any version that came before.

That being said, you can't beat dynamic languages for some tasks. Runtime code generation/eval being the most obvious I can think of. Any kind of extension/plugin architecture has everything to win from going all in with a full scripting language from my experience.
Right, and he did not include her as a co-author of his paper. That's dirty pool in the academic world.

As for who typically gets credit, yes, I think you'd get a different result if you ask astronomers and astro-physicists who are over 50 years old, or anyone who hung around science museums and planetariums in the 1960's or 70's, or check out old popular science books and magazines, or the Journal for the History of Astronomy October 1983, which takes on the prevailing attitude. Perhaps it's changing, but that's only through the efforts of folks like you, who take the effort to set the record straight.
The world has gotten sicker. HN reflects it, but we survive. I think you can probably block that user's comments forever if you want. But it has a decent amount of karma. Have you attempted to walk in his moccasins?

/I'll table the unusual bit.
I'm going to quote a previous comment of mine here, because I think your rhetoric is shallow:

>Violence is usually too far removed from the relevant abstractions. It's not difficult to see violence behind everything, because rules don't mean much if they aren't enforced, and it's all too easy to conflate violence with a threat of violence, or a threat of force with a threat of violence, etc.

> But that's not a very useful perspective; a well-functioning society filters violence so that it is only applied when things go seriously awry, and most of us should only ever threatened by minor inconveniences. To focus on violence is to be reductive; it is like trying to talk about programming in terms of electromagnetic laws -- yes, computers ultimately run on electricity, and social powers are ultimately enforced through violence, but the abstractions we've built atop those facts are actually very relevant and useful.

Of the people trying to say this is a big deal in any way, I must say that so far you are the only one to make any reasonable points.

> So even if someone gets exec on your user files, you'd still prefer them to be limited to your user and not running at higher priv levels. Even if 90% of the damage is done with access to your personal files, it still adds more damage with higher privs.

This is debatable, since whatever other damage they could do is something I'm not likely to care very much about compared to all my work, the whole reason I have a computer in the first place, being held for ransom or otherwise lost to me.

> Plus this means user-level countermeasures like "run steam as a separate user" are useful; with escalation, that's not an effective defense.

I suppose this is true, however I don't think any competent authority will tell you that simply running a program you don't trust as another user should ever be relied upon as a sandboxing mechanism anyway.

> Also, if you've got multiple users on the computer, an attack that can't escalate privileges might ruin your day, but an attack that can escalate privileges might ruin your day and your spouse's day and anyone else in your family's day, so even in terms of "personal files" on a modern Windows system you can still be looking at more damage from an escalating attack.

That's a fair point.

Hey I'm one of the founders of Gem. Let me quickly explain the impetus for making this!

A little story: It’s 6 AM and I find myself compulsively scrolling through public outrage videos and dog photos. I’m scrolling through my twitter feed, finding punchy sentences on the latest trend and tragedy. I feel like my thoughts are becoming limited to what I can fit in 140 characters, and anxious comparing myself to other’s carefully tailored personas. With the feed’s algorithms working in opaque ways and beholden to maximizing advertising revenue, I found it difficult to find thoughtful articles on my interests. Unwilling to wait for the platforms to suddenly become altruistic, I decided to make an alternative. A healthier option to disseminate articles and essays that promote understanding, nuance, insight, and focus.

Here's two key features that make Gem stand out:

- Adjectives - Rating with adjectives help us better understand your taste. We scan the article to determine the adjectives you’d naturally use. These adjectives are derived from criteria like objectivity, importance, and convincingness. Above all, this keeps out sensationalism and improves quality.

- Control - For every feed we have settings which let you filter by type (e.g. tutorials, opinions, and news) or adjust the influence of factors like your viewing history and popularity.

Thanks so much for checking out Gem. We look forward to hearing your feedback! ️
quite clever and pretty powerful, you can even use it to come up with generic constraints/concepts/contracts in userland without language support. Something along the lines of:

// A generic Max function that only works for Float & Ints
fn Max(comptime T: type, a: T, b: T) T {
switch (@typeInfo(T)) {
.Float => {}, // all floats are ok
.Int => {}, // all ints are ok
else => {
@compileError("Max not allowed for type: " ++ @typeName(T));
},
}

return if (a > b) a else b;
}

I do agree there are troubling trends related to changing dynamics of ownership of digital media and how much of of regular consumer's consumption is of DRM'd digital media. However, I greatly disagree about relating RPGs like Neverwinter Nights to Ultima Online and other MMOs. When paying for an MMO, you're also paying for server hosting of extremely large realms with thousands of concurrent players at a time. This is fundamentally different from having fractured, isolated, differentiated small servers. The experience of these massive servers is a fundamental part of the experience these developers wanted to achieve, and are thus integral parts of the game.
