The key insight when writing a sudoku solver is that it is just depth first search. Once someone told me that it just sort of clicked. Just guess each possible number at each open square and if you ever get to an un-solvable state, just undo the last change you made and try the next one. I was extremely satisfied with myself after writing my first really clean solver with backtracking.

I'm sure there are other, more efficient, ways to write sudoku solvers, but the simplicity and clarity the DFS solver offers is pretty cool IMO.
I have written something to help build web apps faster - but it's not really a framework it's kind of like "WordPress for web apps". WordPress provides an interface for users and a CMS so you focus on your blog posts.

With my software all the user accounts, organizations, subscriptions, a complete Stripe Connect platform, all the stuff that accompanies a web app or SaaS is ready for your web app, which you can write in any stack and it's going to be much smaller without those things.

Here's something I don't understand - the overwhelming consensus among analysts, newspapers/websites, blogs, internet commenters etc. seems to be that this company is overvalued and not worth even close to what they want to IPO at. It is not close to profitability and may never be. Not to mention all the borderline scams and shady dealings the company and CEO is involved in.

Yet, we know that on IPO day both retail and institutional investors are going to ignore all these red flags and still buy, and the company is still going to be valued at $40-$50 billion. Why is that? Why doesn't everyone just stay away?

The thing with my SE isn't the 4" display but its form factor / physical size.

If Apple would simply take the iPhone 6/s/7/8 form factor then this is indeed NOT a SE successor!

However,
If they'll get the screen to body ratio and squeeze 4.7" for a similar form factor of current iPhone SE, I guess most SE owners would be happy campers.
Theoretically a summarisation algorithm (or neural network) should reduce sentences of similar content from different languages to similar sizes no?

The authors (and Apple) seem to be missing the point of the SE. With all due respect to Bill Clinton:

It's the size, stupid!

Not the price or lack of features. I don't mind giving up features if that means they can get thee size down to something reasonable, but dropping features and still being large is sort of an "anti-SE". Reminds me More of the 5C. Anyone remember that one? No? Exactly.

Unpacking digital book formats is pretty straightforward with Calibre and similar tools.

There is a very large number of freely-available books through Library Genesis and other sites, approaching 5 million. Some are newer, but I find this most useful for turning up old and hard-to-find books, generally published between 1925 and 2000.

More recent books are frequently available in ripped digital formats. Earlier can be found through the Internet Archive, WikiSource, and Project Gutenberg. A large number of the scanned-in books are actually very likely out of copyright due to failures to renew registration, but the fact cannot readily be determined.

There's a project that's taken machine-readable US Copyright Office records to find such works. The Internet Archive don't yet make use of this though per an email discussion a week or so back, that's in the works, though no announcement or dates have yet been made.

What's tremendously frustrating to me is the HathiTrust archive, which has access to scanned copies of library works, but won't make these generally available to either the general public or anything outside a small set of research libraries (your local public library, or even community college or small liberal arts school doesn't qualify). Again, frequently works that are out of copyright (known-public-domain works cannot be viewed or downloaded), hoarded for no reason.
"This guy" is prolific author Cory Doctorow. I suspect he's been made quite a few promises regarding DRM and distribution.

I remember a documentary years ago with a cool redemption story in it. They followed a primate troupe around for a couple of years.

One of their newest members was a young male that had been ousted from his birth troupe. He had trouble integrating but they let him be. Let's call him George.

Next year was a drought year. Food is getting scarce. Distress is building. One day, some of the troupe find George eating some fruit. Fruit that the troupe had never been observed eating. WTF George, you can eat those? So they watch him, and watch him, and nothing bad happens. Pretty soon the whole troupe is eating this new food source that has been under their noses the whole time.

Hypothesis: primates do not instinctively know what is edible any more than we do. It's learned behavior picked up from observation. If one social group eats a food it doesn't mean that all of them do, and in this case bringing in an outsider brought new ideas.
Being able to convey emotion with tone in speech likely adds a lot more "information".
For what it's worth: to me Svelte is, for the lack of a better word, "better" React. It's another evolutionary step in the same direction.

I wouldn't compare it to Angular.

Svelte is both easier to use (productivity) and generates faster code.

To me React is 2 things: components (reusable pieces that combine state with rendering logic in JavaScript / HTML / CSS) and reactivity (rebuilding UI from state).

Virtual DOM is an implementation detail that makes rebuilding UI from state fast enough in React.

Svelte also provides components and reactivity but with less typing (for me, the programmer).

While I know some people complain about more magic, my experience is opposite: Svelte maps more intuitively to the final JavaScript / HTML / CSS than React.

And it has CSS that is scoped by default to the component which removes the need for CSS-in-JS solutions.
I would prefer not to see tech companies trying to fix our society. We have seen numerous examples where this went really wrong and maybe we should stop that right now.

This is laughable. Nearly every single technological advancement affected society in some manner. Just because you have some narrow view of examples where they did something wrong, doesn't mean you should be militant in your view and try an weasel funding out of an organization that does 95% good. Much better than any private corporation in my opinion.

And restricted funding is based on donor request. You can't say restricted funds are used for X unless donor said for X.

Glad this paragraph was in the article, clears up their methodology. I wonder if it applies to writing too, or if skilled writers work faster.

The product I am working on has a social aspect. That said, nothing - particularly the data the GDPR defines as sensitive - would be collected without explicit consent from the users. Actually, nothing is really collected without their opt-in.

This is pretty much what everyone expected to Porsche to do, especially with how they've been pumping out Macan's, Cayenne's and Panamara's. It's a vehicle which will sell based on the perception that Porsche builds high quality performance vehicles, which is at least marginally true, although things like this continue to stray from that.

Really, I'm only surprised Porsche is letting their brand be diluted even further, when they could have had a car like this sold under the Audi label instead. That would also have allowed for a much more reasonable cost comparison between this and the Tesla S, since you can get one of those for well under 100k, and the Audi brand has a much wider price spread than the Porsche lineup.
Past works of significance, authors long dead, and copyright terms at the time of creation long expired, remain locked up, held most often not by the authors or their direct heirs, but by publishing monopolies which have snatched up rights.

Similarly for works created collaboratively as corporate works. The original creators never had an ownership interest, but simply saw wage compensation.

That’s why being a service company is always a win:

1. Find a market that has no way of shrinking and where small and big money is being made.

2. Launch an app that you can market as a product, but that makes money from providing a service to small and big money business.

3. Profit.

The next iphone SE should keep the same size but using all screen as a display (like the iphone X).
It's one of two things:

1) That the consensus is wrong and this is an amazing, misunderstood business. Stratechery has the most balanced view IMO of this possibility - https://stratechery.com/company/wework/ - in this case you will likely be able to value buy the stock and hold for long term gain.

2) That the bankers selling to retail & institutional investors have a giant, incumbent incentive tied to IPO fees, debt origination fees, and of course actual debt repayment. As a result they are going to sell the WeWork stock and because what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If this is the accurate case WeWork will likely achieve their IPO guidance and be a good long term short.

Bit is the unit usually used for describing entropy, information density, and channel capacity, regardless of whether computer systems are involved.

The field of Information theory effectively began with Claude Shannon. The same formalisms he developed are used outside computer science--linguistics, physics, microbiology, etc.

> If the active investors are all doing way better than the indexes, the indexes will just copy that and suddenly be doing as well.

Passive investors are copying the average of the active investors. Just as you would never have a situation where all active investors are outperforming passive investors, you would always expect there to be some active investors outperforming the average. The big question is the extent to which individual managers can keep it up over time (and as more AUM flows into their funds) and the magnitude of their out-performance.

And you're right - as active investors find new opportunities and make money out of them, they will improve the average and hence the performance of the passive investors.

You can add up the performance of all active funds and see how they are doing as a whole. My understanding is that at the moment, the sector as a whole is doing OK, but almost all of the returns are from the top performing funds, so an active fund chosen at random is likely to be destroying value. However, this could change as more mispricing opportunities arise in the market.
Considering Mozilla created a browser designed to do its best to not track people, and private companies don't do this, I can't see your point other than being bad faith.

I think it is a contract of some sort. I think these are personal seals, each group representing an individual. This might be some sort of guild or religious group where members were identified with a series of random symbols, akin to a social insurance or military service number.

Maybe people took home smaller representations so that in the future they could be identified as having been part of the group. If that is the case, this cannot be deciphered any more than one might decipher a list of phone numbers.
Santa Cruz Bicycles |Front End Developer or UI Developer | Salt Lake City, UT | Full Time | Onsite

Santa Cruz Bicycles, Juliana Bicycles, and Cervelo are looking for a front end developer or UI developer to join our new web development team in Salt Lake City, Utah. You’ll work with a small but mighty team to create great online experiences as we create new, and enhance existing rider facing and dealer facing platforms.

We can offer you great benefits that include 100% paid health, dental and vision insurance, 401K matching, monthly employee events and major discounts on bikes and bike gear. Those parts come with the industry. We can offer you a relaxed working environment, local singletrack, and the opportunity to work with a group of bike enthusiasts in a great place to live. Those parts come with the territory.

But what we really want is what you have to offer us. We want to attract job seekers that are looking for a brand that they can be an integral part of, and not just "a company to work for". It's the individual personalities, and the raw enthusiasm for the brand that makes this place special, and that comes directly from the employees of Santa Cruz Bicycles.

Since we are a small team you’ll need to wear many hats. You will need to have great design skills, the development skills to translate design to production code, and the pragmatism to prioritize getting things done vs pixel perfectness. You’ll be part of the team responsible for selecting and building the technologies to help us deliver the future of road and mountain biking for two of the world’s most respected cycling brands.

Requirements: HTML, CSS, JS, and 1 year of professional development experience. React is a nice bonus.

If you have a passion for bikes, design, and development, please apply at https://santacruzbicycles.applytojob.com/apply/ZmRvyoeHRa/Fr.... and be sure to reference hackernews in your cover letter.
It's probably not getting OS updates (ie. security patches) after iOS 13, though.
The way the team communicates with the community is sometimes frustrating. Also, a lot of the decision-making (especially around React/JSX typing) happens behind closed doors, with little to no explanation as to why they were made.

In my opinion source control history is much overrated. Instead of documenting your diffs, you should just document the code itself.

Every developer has some limited time budget for writing documentation. If you spend lots of time and frustration trying to get the git history correct, you have less time left over for actual code documentation.

But the vast majority of drivers don't drive on a race track; they use a car for general transportation. Mainly a tiny number of professionals require a very high end performance vehicle.

However, a sizable minority of photographers can use the extra features of a dedicated SLR camera with telephoto or microphoto lens. There's plenty of great photography that simply can't happen, or won't happen with nearly the quality, by using a smartphone.

That's not to say that smartphone cameras are bad; they're excellent today. I have always wanted to get a modern digital SLR, but now I'm thinking a high end phone is sufficient for 90% of what I would want to do, so should I really spend $1500 to $2000 to do that extra 10%? Since I'm neither a pro nor a passionate amateur, probably won't.
