Nominative, not normative. Nominative means "by name", i.e. you reference types by names. A structural type (aka anonymous type) does not have a name, so cannot be referenced.
Then the headline should read something like "Breakthrough points to new physics". This is just a clickbait title. When you read the article it becomes clear that there's a lot of wishful thinking involved. Others have pointed out that this is not likely to work.
If you have the computing power to brute force sha256 then there are few security precautions a user can take against you.

That opens up forging SSL certificates, signing Debian packages, and a whole slew of other things that you could pull off with more computing power than has existed in the whole of the universe.

That was one thing I liked about Go as well. I mention Go cause I remember how I felt when I realized I had all the docs available offline. That is a nice to have for Rust too. I wonder when if ever LangServ will support code documentation as part of autocomplete like C# does rather cleanly with Visual Studio. Or is that already the case? In any case I think its powerful to be able to see a summary of a method through the auto complete feature of editors.

I know Rust is working on their own LangServ as well. I hope LangServ matures enough to secretly turn supporting editors into lightweight IDEs.
Yup. As it is said "If a physicist says it's possible, then it's possible. If a physicist says it's impossible, then it's undecided."
What do you mean there's no citation? They interviewed one of the researchers who did the study.
The OSs that insisted upon scattering application files all over the hierarchy only have themselves to blame for this situation. At some point in the past 30 years thought could have been given to the idea that applications are separate from the platform they run on, but UNIX just doesn't think that way. Everything must be part of the same gigantic Goldberg-esq state so everything can catch fire and burn down at once as soon as there's a conflict of any kind.

Anyway, the fix is pretty obvious: put each application in its own namespace, thus its view of "/usr" isn't the same as the immutable OS "/usr" and it is free to write whatever it wants without causing any trouble.
Isn't the most useful model just the formla for the force of gravity? Sure there is lots of interest in understanding an underlying mechanism. But a useful model abstracts that away so you can predict behaviors.

Pretty far. Iranian pistachios are identical to Californian pistachios, just red in color. Commenter above probably is influenced by the red dye and in a blind taste would fail to distinguish between the two. Turkish/Armenian pistachios on the other hand are smaller, more elongated and if salted typically are packaged with coarser salt. I prefer the latter, although they can be more pain to peel.
First six paragraphs offer no facts, but are very heavy with very emotionally loaded statements. Even if the whole article after that is completely true, it's impossible not to perceive this writing style as manipulative propaganda.
Emissions are growing exponentially, and are accumulative. When you look at the CO₂ footprint graph, the damage done to the climate is essentially proportional to the area under the curve. What 30 years ago was just a concern of some scientists, today is becoming visible to people, and 30 years from now will be obvious (under current growth, between today and 30 years from now, we'll have emitted more CO₂ than we had between today and the dawn of mankind - a "neat" feature of exponential growth).

In the real world, exponents don't last forever. The economy will eventually give in, the question is how. 60 years ago the bet was that we'll run out of resources to burn. Today, the consensus is that we'll most likely destabilize the climate to the point of total civilizational collapse before we exhaust economically exploitable fossil fuel deposits.

As for the next years being critical in determining how the world will look like many decades from now, keep in mind that the damage CO₂ is causing is proportional to the integral of the yearly emissions curve, and also that feedback loops take time to settle at a new equilibrium. Models predicting average temperatures and sea levels take into account that even when we become completely net carbon neutral, the already accumulated CO₂ will still warm up the climate for decades. So it very much matters when we get to carbon neutrality, and the sooner we get there the (exponentially) better.
Ya know, any non-pervert can use those non-phone cameras for all of the use cases you mentioned too... Is taking pictures of your fancy dinner or jumpy pets really so hard to do with a superior and low cost dedicated camera? The results will be superior for a fraction of the price!

Here's the thing you refuse to acknowledge (or perhaps didn't think through before writing) -- when someone is holding a P+S camera or bigger, everyone knows they're taking a picture. But when someone is holding a smartphone, you assume they are not taking a picture because 99.9% of the time phones are not in camera mode.

The point wasn't to ensure that all cameras made noise, it was to ensure that a phone couldn't be used as a secret camera in public.

Seriously, I struggle to parse the logic here: Do you think that creepers are taking actual full size cameras into subways for creepshots? Or are you thinking they're using "Spy Camera" type devices? Because the people the law was meant to deter generally aren't that level of creeper, and their creepshots are a crime of convenience not a premeditated act of sexual assault.
Jobs are important. Also team sports. Any team sports at all.
Well if you're not using a 410 nm LED, this research probably isn't relevant.
There's cost-cutting, and there's risk-shifting.

Unfortunately, accounting methods and markets don't distinguish between these, especially where benefits (or profits) are immediately evident, but costs are occult and obfuscated. This is a situation which appears frequently, repeatedly, and notoriously in technological contexts. I'm seeing it increasingly as a fundamental conflict and paradox of market economics.

The issue can work in reverse as well: measures (practices, products, technologies, services) with immediately evident costs, but distant, obscure, or covert benefits, can be a very hard sell. Maintenance. Employee training. CO2 mitigation.

Ask HN: I'm 23 and already feeling stuck in life
Seeking advice from anyone who's beyond this stage and found a "solution. "

The following realizations have placed me in an emotional spiral.

1. My job is not a good fit for me. Been working here as a software engineer for 3 years and 90% of the time, I'm bored and uninspired. Part of the reason is that I prefer coding stuff for people and not for businesses. I think that if I start working for non-profits or B2C companies it might solve this issue.

2. I love making an impact and helping others, and I'm not doing that in any capacity. Again, my job involves business software, completely boring to me. And volunteering opportunities in my areas of interests (voter rights, race relations, modernization of civic government technology) seem more challenging to come by.

3. I don't understand passions. For awhile, I've been running a blog simply cause it got me extra money but not because I actually liked it. I recently decided to finally stop it and haven't found anything to fill the void. I got sucked into all the entrepreneur porn and turned every hobby and side project into something that'll make money. Well now all of that has back fired cause I'm left with nothing I truly want to do. Even thinking of doing a side project will leave me uncomfortable if I'm not monetizing it.

4. I just want to relax. I'm jealous of those people who are perfectly content with the daily routine of life. Why do I feel like I need to change something? Do something big? Build something to change society? Why can't I just live the typical life and accept that as success?

> Automating Poverty will run all week. If you have a story to tell about being on the receiving end of the new digital dystopia, email ed.pilkington@theguardian.com

This is dangourous journalism. The reporter has clearly taken a stance and is not attempting to open up a nuanced and careful discussion of the factors at play here but is instead insighting fear and mistrust of technical progress in the public sphere.

I can understand the fear and concern around the changing digital landscapes and the potential impact on different parts of society. What's needed is a public discourse about these things that doesn't conflate the issues into one single problem of a "digital dystopia". Are we really talking about a "flawed algorithm", for example, or simply the encoding of a badly designed government process?

Technology _is_ changing how poor people interact with the state and this is an important topic to discuss openly and broadly. We'll never have the quality of discussion that's needed while there are fear mongering reporters like this subverting that conversation to the level of luddism.

Even if there is, it will only be at the beginning. So you can circumvent the intent of the law (e.g. filming the police) by starting to film yourself, pretending to stop and then point the camera at the subject.

Even if that's the highest achievable, IQ tests designed to be usable for everyone tend to start getting really unreliable above 135 or so. Above that level, you're getting into the territory where test takers basically answer almost all of the reasonable questions right and where those few wrong answers necessarily start having much larger effects on the final score. Because of that, other issues start dominating the results. Random variance, sloppiness, mechanical issues in timed tests, how well you slept, whether there's slightly bad/ambiguous questions, whether you've seen that type of question before, whether you're good under pressure, cultural differences, etc.

For example, one serious official test I did included a timed test where you had to decode a string of symbols to text based on some key. I ended up being fast enough at decoding that I was effectively limited by how fast I could scribble down the decoded texts and turn the page back to the code, not by the mental calculations. I imagine others would have had similar issues, making this particular test at best capable of indicating a wide possible range of mental ability, a range which should be particularly inaccurate around the higher ranges as the ratio mentalTime/mechanicalTime decreases.

There also just aren't enough high IQ people to really effectively study the accuracy of these tests above those levels. There are no good baselines to compare these people and no real ways of checking whether the differences actually matter in any meaningful way.
That’s probably quite true, too. I personally found the idea of Mensa the organization unattractive at best, and haven’t much enjoyed the little time I spent with its members.

So, this article is 75% recap of the movie and then a handful of conclusions that prove the writer completely missed the point of the story. I'm not impressed.
Unfortunately I don't have time to read this right now, but I wrote a less dense article of a similar topic that was intended as an internal training document which ended up being good blog fodder at work:

https://www.a2hosting.com/blog/how-email-became-an-important...

I have a lot of respect for the authors of the linked article (not me, the OP!) because I know how much research my own article took. I can imagine theirs was a lot more.
Right. Maybe I should have said, "... keep changing a language..."
Yeah, I read the article. Doesn't change the fact that Quillete is an alt-reich propaganda outlet, and that "oikophobia" is a bogus charge right-wingers can use to summarily dismiss any criticism of Western society.
+1 for this. Now my browser experience is broken. Or is there a way to remap tab switching shortcut in firefox? Seems silly to do that though.

Actually, alt+tab seems to do nothing on my macOS. Why not use that? I'd actually have the same shortcuts as on windows, which I also use.

I'd also love to adjust the delay. Seems very slow now.

Otherwise, this is beautiful.
This idea makes great sense so long as the industry reaches agreement on implementation standards so as to mimimize the cost of exchanging old for new panels. What's needed post haste are standards like those used in the shipping/container industry where sizes, mounting hardware etc. are all standardized and fully interchangeable.

If thought out well—and barring any exceptional idea that comes out of left wing—then such standards should long outlive normal/evolutionary panel replacements.
I heard the real reason we need 5G is to sell more new phones. Thinner and bigger and better cameras isn’t enough anymore. However, mobile phones running 5G radios will deplete their battery far more rapidly than LTE, right? And that is assuming the 5G phone user is in a major metropolitan area where there is sufficient coverage to begin with.
I don't believe my position has shifted, I think I've only failed at communicating it.

I can't tell you how big a shock the economy will survive, only that it has to survive, so whatever shock we apply it must be less than the lethal dose. Killing the economy is literally the game over, because climate change isn't about climate for climate's sake, but about climate not killing our economies and civilization through the pressure of increasing uninhabitability.
I was thinking about this last night and how I'm glad I don't read so many books. It seems like it would be hard to internalize a lot of the story. I used to read a lot more, and can think fondly on many of the books I read but cannot recall most plot details etc. Taking time to read a book, a few weeks, gives you time to digest it and ponder some of what it's saying, and create some long term memories as well! Gorging yourself on hundreds of books a year is probably only marginally better than doing the same with TV shows.
Read the above post, this is the meal we're discussing:

> last year I have made a matpakke with 3 slices of bread

Which also aligns with what's said in the article. If you eat three of these in a meal, you're getting one more slice of bread than you'd get from a meal consisting of a single sandwich.
Yes; it isn't the same. Cmd+backtick swaps only within an application; Alt+Tab on Windows is between all windows of all applications.

Window's Alt+Tab also causes the Z-ordering of the windows to be most-recently-used. OS X's Cmd+Tab will surface all windows of a particular application to the top of the stack in their relative order, so if you have say, two browser windows, one you want and one that's been backgrounded with some long running train of thought, that (currently irrelevant) window is surface over the rest of whatever you're working on. Often I find this just gets in the way.

The Windows model more closely matches what I as a user want; when I'm switching, I have a particular window in mind, not any window, not all windows. Alt+Tab makes that more easily accomplished than Cmd+Tab/Cmd+`.

OS X's WM also seems to have an issue where, for whatever reason, when I Cmd+Tab to an application, it'll choose not the last active window, but one window in particular, even if that window is on a different, not focused workspace and there are windows from that application in this workspace. For whatever reason, it really likes my personal Chrome profile at work, at will switch to it at all costs, which is Grade A annoying during a presentation.
Have you considered exploring such avenues? Thanks for your time.
Yes, I meant nominative.
Thanks to all the people posting alternative / open source solutions!

What is often missed, though, is that Meetup provides more than the software. The real killer feature of Meetup is the audience.

I know of no other place where it is so easy to gather people. Just post a new event and people will notice and sign up.

If you switch to a self-hosted solution you will have to find an audience through other channels. Which, for many Meetups, is quite the challenge. Remember "build it and they will come"? Same applies to events. "Set a date and they will come" - doesn't work that way unless you have an existing audience.

Personally I don't mind paying 2$ to attend a meetup. The old/existing pricing model seemed much smarter for everyone involved though. Organizers pay to get access to the audience. The audience pays nothing so that the audience, the real value, can be maximized. I hope that they won't destroy their value with this move...

Not if they wanted to continue running the company.
Culture fit is just a way to get away with discriminating against otherwise-qualified candidates. When a hiring manager says it's "culture fit", look at the "culture". Chances are the real reason (age, race, sex, gender) would be legally actionable.
A lot of the people I saw in college who were CS majors didn't really seem to care about CS as a topic and only saw it as a lucrative career path. These same people would constantly struggle to understand the most basic concepts and not seem to care about understanding it beyond being able to finish their assignments.

It's sad because I feel like I and a handful of other people in the program were the only ones actually enjoying it. It probably also has a lot to do with older people telling so many kids as they were growing up that they're "so good with computers" because they showed them how to setup their email accounts and it gave them a false sense of skill that made them think they should do it for a living.
The way I read this is all of the cloud data submission to Microsoft will be turned on and users will be unable to turn it off on Home Edition now.

Good outcome for security, bad for privacy.

"When the feature is turned on, it prevents malware from disabling virus and threat protection, real-time and cloud-delivered protection, turning off behavior monitoring and removing security intelligence updates."
In the past I have frequently needed to merge several existing PDF's together. The idea is this: we have a list of objects Foo in a grid that is available to an end user. Each Foo item has a PDF that can be printed - some of our users really like to just look at the paper print out of everything.

So we created a "bulk print" option. They tick a bunch of checkboxes for the Foo items, then click the Print button.

Internally we merge all those PDF's together and send one print job to the printer's queue. We used DevExpress [1] to accomplish this, and it worked very well. The only problem: it's expensive.

Multi-billion dollar companies don't mind paying the price tag, but smaller shops sometimes think twice. If a free or near-free alternative existed, that would be fantastic.

Depends on the table, the digikey catalog is thousands of small tables, but most are around 20 rows. It's worth noting some header rows are multi line, which is part of the difficulty, the MIP encodes where to start in the ASCII representation where the header ends and the data starts.

> these problem instances are not pathological instances

With MIP, the solver churns when you get a lot of information suggesting that one path is likely to be the optimal but actually it's another path but you have been mislead by red herrings. One cause would be a subset of weak classifiers are configured incorrectly so they are actively misleading. Another cause might be that the table structure is very ambiguous and requires a lot of global deductive reasoning to figure it out.

However, given digikey is not maliciously trying to create difficult to read tables, I don't think these cases really come up. Misleading weak classifiers would be a bug, though its sometimes hard to spot if enough of the system still reaches the correct decision. There is probably some math to assign utility to certain classifiers though I never looked at it beyond case by case debugging of decision samples.

Also worth noting this never went into full production due to the surrounding business being broken for completely non-technical reasons. But I do think the MIP + MLE is a useful technique for a few different forms of problems where you want to integrate hard ontological constraints over a fuzzy reasoning system.
They can and should be. Today's journalists becoming activists is one of the fundamental reasons of public distrust in media.

I have to admit, the biggest selling point to me for podman is the removal of the central docker daemon. For my use case (personal workstation and home lab), it seems strange to me that I need essentially another service manager for these processes just because I want to slap them in a container. It definitely makes sense that there would still be some gaps though as it's a less mature product.

You've definitely convinced me to take a good look at LXC/LXD though. Thanks for the thorough response!
There was a MOOC on programming paradignms that used Oz for its material. I was taking and enjoying it but unfortunately it was one of those time-constrained MOOCS where content is only dribbled out on a weekly basis and I got busy with work partway through.

If not for the fact that Coursera and now even edX are gutted[1] for people not paying for their certifications, I'd give it another go.

1) The final straw was disabling automated graders. They basically took away the one really compelling feature MOOCs have for programming topics that YouTube videos don't.
