The JS ecosystem is plagued by this too.

The other day I opened a Vue project from 2-3 years ago and after installing deps with NPM it reported something like 50 critical vulnerabilities. Fine, I'll update dependencies. After doing that nothing worked anymore. The Webpack config didn't work, the Webpack loaders for Vue didn't work, etc. I had configured this project with an "old" version of Vue CLI and now everyone had moved on from that and changed their APIs.

I had a similar problem with an in-house Electron app from 3-4 years ago. A user reported a problem running the app on high Sierra. So I updated Electron to the latest version and compiled but then I got some new errors because Electron changed something and it broke Gulp. So I updated Gulp and turns out they changed their API too and I had to change the logic... I lost a day with this.

You can open an old jQuery project from 10 years ago change some stuff and everything just works, even after updating jQuery to the latest version.
In some interfaces (i forget where, maybe linux or the browsers) they try to annoy you by making the scroll bar so skinny it’s hard to select it.
When you look this up, you find more estimates than actuals. Wikipedia shows world offshore wind capacity at 18GW as of 1997. If that's nameplate capacity, average output is less, maybe half. There are at least 10 individual nuclear plants in the world with 4GW output or more.

Offshore wind is cheap, but you need dispatchable power or really big batteries somewhere. Tesla's big battery in Australia is about 129MWH. That's enough storage to replace a 12 hour wind lull for 5 large offshore turbines. The battery to wind turbine ratio needs to increase if wind power provides a large fraction of energy.
> The problem is that the only programming language I know of that tried to be its own language-language was APL and thoughts of coding in that give me nightmares.

Have you ever actually tried learning APL, or are you just trolling?
From a different perspective, the site sounds great but it's not something to be be guaranteed to be around forever. I understand steady employment, both from a security standpoint and from not having a gap in employment history.
Yes, it is off topic and I don't expect a full treatment of the pros and cons. However, it is certainly not the first time that people have commented on non content of a submission, e.g. bad color choice, hard to read, style, etc.

The thing is I felt the amount of swearing was distracting, and not using the actual word then made these swears stick out even more, distracting further from the content.

Maybe not relevant to you, but it's what I felt.
IGCT's can handle a few kV and 1000's of amps. Plus you can setries them and increase the blocking voltage. Same goes for IGBT's, SCR's.

An interesting article, which I think accurately describes my brief time at Microsoft during the Ballmer era (our startup was acquired after the bubble burst).

But his definition of "made men" seems very vague and very convenient. The people who Nadella appointed to higher positions were almost entirely people who had been at Microsoft for many years. Why are some "made men" and some are not? The definition seems primarily about whether or not the author liked them personally.
We rarely accelerate/decelerate to the limit of the car, and therefore should choose.

If just a few percent of drivers did as I suggest, stop and go disappears. In effect slowing in advance moves the congestion back earlier, reduces its size, and makes it easy to have it evaporate.

The reason that traffic jams happen is that freely moving traffic carries more cars per minute than stop and go. So there is a traffic volume where there are two states - everyone moving or traffic jam. But when everyone is moving, even minor slowdowns can cascade and switch states. And once switched, it is impossible to fix until traffic volume dies down and the hard stops are eliminated.

We can't easily fix traffic volume. But the strategy that I suggest eliminates hard stops without reducing cars per minute. And therefore causes the jams to go away faster.

When engagement is sold to advertisers, it's difficult to trust any changes to the UI.

The scrollbar should be sacred. Otherwise everything will wind up with sliding-window advertisements.
Conditional probability is fine. But you have to make the condition part of the question. You can't subtly omit certain results because it screws up the narrative.

This is a game where you start off with a certain layout, and then proceed forward. If you want conditions, they have to be conditions that you can apply before the game starts. You can't retroactively remove a significant chunk of samples.

If you added an actual outcome to him picking the winner, you could make a valid filter where the answer actually is 50:50. Perhaps they restart the game. Perhaps they never air the episode. And if you calculate only for finished/aired games then it's very clear then that you're solving a different math problem. You can't apply that answer to the original problem.
> I'm giving the player 15% of their health back at the end of each round.

Don't be stingy with health. The fun of this game is watching the opponents evolve. Keeping your health to stay alive is more of a chore, and isn't that fun IMO.

Giving players 100% of their health back will allow them to give more attention to the interesting aspect of the game, and less attention to the annoying chore of staying alive.

And personally, it was my assumption that I would recover my health every round, just like the AIs do. It took me a few rounds to realize that was not the case.
I don't think it has anything to do with resolution. I'm getting the same thing as the parent on my 1366x768.

Edit: It's actually the width that matters. After reducing it a bit it will show the hamburger menu.
This doesn't need manufacturer intervention... look at secure boot as it is on x86. You have the option of enrolling your own keys, or not doing it, and can lock down the BIOS. If using a TPM then you get okay assurance that the OS has not been tampered with.

Sure, there are exploits for these things, just as there are exploits for iOS.

Google works well when you are searching for things you don't know much about, your input is imprecise and it generally points you in the right direction.

However for the opposite case, when you are trying to find something highly specific, even down to an exact substring match I find the results to be very poor.
maybe I should add a timer to the rounds...

In practice if you barely know how to host a server that responds to requests, most solutions won’t work for you because they require writing code that assumes you know somewhat more about how it all works.

I would frankly recommend biting the bullet and doing some heavy reading and trial and error. All of the solutions I know only get you out of the business of storing/managing/checking passwords or MFA. They don’t get you out of anything else.

If you just need something quick and dirty and not "best practices", you could configure HTTP based authentication (over HTTPS) through a web server like Apache.
They want to increase the revenue from speeding tickets from 60 kUSD to 250 kUSD. That sounds promising, wasn't there a town in North Florida that got slapped with a consent decree because it relied on traffic fines as well for revenue and went completely overboard with speed traps?

Farming motorists for revenue really does wonders for the perception of law enforcement.

This is great. When German, English, French and Dutch go through a tumbler and no easy logic can be seen explaining the different uses and spellings. Motief, motive, motiv, motif.

So motif [Eng] is based on motive [Fr] for repetitive (something). And motive [Eng] is similar in meaning to motief [NL], motive [Fr] and motiv [De]. All based on the same root in Latin.

The improvements are likely for non-power users. As they make up the majority of users, it's understandable that Google optimizes for them. Still, it gives power users worse results because they know what they are looking for and they (often) use certain words for a reason. Google's default assumption ("the users have no clue what they are doing") leads them to a paternal "I think I know what you're going to ask ..." approach which often fails and leads to shit results.

The method to combat that is to start wrapping every word in quotes which is annoying. I'm sure intermediate users will catch on at some point, start doing it too and Google will drop the quote modifier. Let's keep it a secret so that happens later rather than sooner.

> How many iPhone users attentively watch WWDC or read each update's (often incomplete) release notes? 1%? 3%? 5% tops? Why roll out a feature when 95% of your users will need to discover it through trial and error?

I totally agree, but just want to point out that it may be 5% of developers who follow these. Of the general use base in total? I'd assume it's rather about 1/100 of one percent, or one in ten thousand people.
This is not a United States problem, this is a California problem.
Especially when it comes to "less acceptable" things. Suppose, for instance, one listened to a rap song and then googled "lean and sprite" (codeine cough syrup and soda, commonly referenced by rappers as a way to get high).

Instead of returning search results of relevant rap songs, you get a bunch of links on drug abuse, rehabilitation centers, etc. Thanks for assuming I'm a harrowed drug addict, Google, but really I was looking for music.
I'm wondering how many people would be outright afraid of installing and running a program in a language that they have no chance of reading. This is the rough equivalent that all non-programmers have to deal with everyday.
I did not understood. BERT it is not a similarity measure. For our use case we did use a simple cosine similarity to find the similar documents.
But we have to represent those documents in a vector space. From our test representing the document as a MEAN of BERT Embeddings we got some very good results. Much better than BoW, Glove or the Lucene "More like this"

Apparently I'm beyond the edit window of my original post. I mean the "world [in CS] is completely discrete[, in the context of mathematical modeling and abstraction.]"

I did not intend to imply that the world is discrete in the strictest sense. Just that, except for AI/ML, discrete math will prove much more helpful to understanding the concepts and material presented in a graduate CS curriculum.

The benefit studying continuous maths provides in the context of CS is the rigor and modeling skills one gains.

All of my thesis is rooted in Programming Languages, Compilers, and Type Theory. Continuous math is utterly useless in this context. It's all SAT/SMT, set theory, and graphs -- all of which are topics in discrete math.

...hot damn does it really bug me that HN has such a hard time with snark.

Yeah, I've noticed that when I get sarcastic or snarky, it's very often an invitation to being downvoted. I can't tell if it's because people don't get the sarcasm or snarkiness, get it but are offended that I'm using it at all (especially without an "/s"), or are offended that I'm being snarky about [insert sacred technolibertarian cow here]. :)
Not-a-PG&E-customer here: where's the animus against specifically catching up on infrastructure maintenance debt coming from?

Corollary: why was said animus not directed to PG&E at the time that maintenance was neglected?
No customer ever objected to my code with English variable / method / function names. Some don't care, others explicitly ask for English because maybe "one day we want to sell the company to somebody outside the country".
It's something I really miss about the height of Windows 8/Windows 8.1/Windows Phone 8 design: the grids were specifically chosen to really to push that incompleteness feel: a few pixels from the next column over or the next row down always peaking through; big parallax landscape backgrounds that give a sense of background space that there's more to pan.

That feeling that not everything fits perfectly on the screen and things were almost always incomplete bugged a few people about those design patterns, but it did create a lot of nice, simple cues that things were scrollable without needing scroll bars or other indicators.
I think most of us technologically inclined users are in the habit of using specific words to get search results as we have been doing that for years. But I think a large portion of newer users actually ask full questions so google is optimizing for it. For better search results we might need to actually start asking exactly what we are searching for instead.

There's a passage (page 123 in my edition) I really like about combining your mental model of something with the stimuli you get from your senses that I think has a lot to do with systems analysis and modelling.

You have to build up your mental model (and often your client's too) and, at the same time, evolve your interface to reflect this model and permit your client to do what he wants to do effectively.
woosh. thats the joke
Maybe I'm getting old, but I can't imagine a CS grad student not having taken a formal calculus class.

When I started my undergrad CS program in 1989 it required 4 semesters (2 full years) of calculus. This was in addition to 4 semesters of physics.

Maybe I'm just not up to date on what "Computer Science" is today.
Thing is I felt distracted by the amount of swearing, and the fake swears just exaggerated that. I don't care about the swearing in principle, it just felt misplaced in your article, in particular in this censored form.

Swearing helps convey frustration etc. and I guess that's what you were going for, but it doesn't actually work for me (as the reader) in all cases and in particular when it's "redacted".

Not that my opinion matters. I didn't intend this comment to be taken as serious discussion item and maybe I should have just not commented.

It sounds like their preferred method of financing city government (being a speed trap on I-35) goes back at least 50 years - here's an interesting article from 1974 about Selma, TX, which is on the other side of San Antonio, but also on I-35.

I found this an interesting and illuminating read, partially for how some of the basic concerns that we have for language tools like compilers were imagined into being and later internalised by us all, but also for the “fear and horror” around bounds checks.
Yea, but the problem was Clinton used them as a weapon and it was pretty clear that administrations couldn't trusted to not do that again.

It wasn't perfect, but you're talking millions of dollars that went into the 92/93/94 push. That's hard to come up with for narrative building when it's not tax payer money. Just look at the single source of gun control in the USA today, Michael Bloomberg, if he wasn't personally bankrolling it, things would look a lot different.
Just tried it and it looks like you can long-press then swipe down to dismiss.
One reason I like to force touch the keyboard rather than using spacebar is that, when you force touch, you can force touch again with the cursor active, and it will select an entire word. Dragging on keyboard now expands the selection a word at a time. Force touch again (while keeping your thumb on the screen) and it selects a whole paragraph. One more force touch and it switches back to a plain cursor.

It doesn’t seem possible to do this using the long-touch spacebar approach.
Clearly you dismiss other cultures as inferior to your own, though.
Yeah, kinda sounds like incel/puritan thinking where sex is the act of men taking from women instead of a mutual experience. Also, aren't men stereotypically the providers, if they're going go that route?

Seems like the HNers (presumably men) weighing in here against (other) men are really just unmasking their own poor experiences with getting along with women. Most of these negative comments come across as men narcing on themselves while confusing it for broad social commentary. Like that joke about the guy asserting that women don't like sex because his girlfriend goes straight to sleep when she gets in bed with him.
