There are other HN comments pointing out that the proposed solution still doesn't work correctly because of floating point operations. If the goal is to learn something about programming, yes, I agree with you. But if the goal is to write code with as few bugs as possible then I would take the "create a string and count chars" solution over every solution involving floating point math.

I think that is because not every IPv4 adress has the format x.x.x.x
There are short forms (i.e. 1.1 that gets expanded to 1.0.0.1, though not sure if that's in the original RFC) or decimal forms.
And then there's IPv6, which again has its rules.
Snap: a microkernel approach to host networking
Because the Governor actually had to be elected for one - the positions are apples and oranges.

Simply allowing people to be barred from office because of conviction past or present is dangerous as it gives a very abusable tool to disqualify political rivals. This isn't a theoretical thing - many dictatorships and sham-democracies use it regularly. Now politicians shouldn't have impunity but it is ultimately up to the voters to decide what does and doesn't disqualify someone from governorship. If the voters know of their record and decide to elect them anyway it is within their right. Mathew Lyon got re-elected after being jailed for violation of the Sedition act where his whole defense was 'this law is blatantly unconstitutional'.

Meanwhile a police position employeed is supposed to be subordinate to the laws and by the books. Demonstrating questionable judgement and keeping them on isn't fair to /everyone else/. Having every last police officer elected wouldn't be very logistically plausible nor would voters be as well equipped to evaluate candidates so having a 'bureaucratic' process makes sense for those sorts of roles.
Eh, who cares how it works? What matters to me is that I want to play games on Linux[0] and I can.

[0] Well, I say want to, but I literally do not own a Windows machine, so it's more that I only can play games that work, in any reasonable way, on *nix.
Thanks. That's a really interesting concept and probably good from a safety aspect too.

I've played rugby from age 12 to 35, in Australia, South Africa and England. I'd never heard of weight restricted teams.

Having said that, it's ten years since I retired, and I guess things move on. If such positive safety measures are being implemented, that has to be a good thing.
The whole dependency on phone line/number is staggering. You can't do anything nowadays without a number. Can't apply for a visa, buy anything online or do your taxes. All of this while phone calls are anti-feature - they are low quality, abused by scammers and (at least on iOS) - no way to disable entirely.

What's even more weird - if you happen not own a phone - there's no digital service/website where you can call 911 (or local equivalent). You can't even text 911 in most countries.
I just ran tests for a new project. JS is used for testing. It generates an HTML test report which requires... react!
Californian cops are basically mafia.

A few years ago I had posted something on Facebook about a crooked cop in California who had been cleared in two suspicious killings though they found he had planted guns on his victims, had been arrested for attacking another cop when he pulled him over for a DUI. The cop himself was never fired or sent to jail.

Anyways, I posted this on Facebook and accidentally made it public. 2 days later, this 60 year retired murderer was stalking me on facebook, linkedin, etc. A week later I was pulled over on a warrant for a speeding ticket I'd paid years before, and had to go through an incredible amount of hoops to get it cleared up (even though I still had proof I'd paid it).
As a Confluence user (not by choice) I must disagree, it's broken in several ways. The one I'm most frustrated by is their search -- we've got an internal page titled "Fizzbar 8" which does not appear in searches for "Fizzbar 8" despite also containing that string multiple times in the body text.
By “standard American accent” I think he meant Southern accent.
You're reminding me of reports that people had returned very expensive rented telephoto lenses destroyed by sunlight after the last total lunar eclipse.
Having replicated the fruit fly's brain, what are you going to do?

Replicate the rest of the fruit fly so that you can install the brain in it? And then replicate the world so that your software-simulated fruit fly has a natural context in which to operate?

Or just stimulate the brain with random inputs not associated with any real-world stimulus?
> One thing that is clear: Many of the officers on the state’s secret convictions list who are still working today likely wouldn’t be cops in other states.

That's not how it always works. The officers pled to misdemeanors because they knew they could keep their jobs with a misdemeanor. In other states they would plea to a non-criminal charge instead, or manage to not get convicted at all.

I don't think there's any problem here.

Nothing lives forever and YT is not PG&E, it may shutdown and never return. Similar things happened before, e.g., MSN Spaces, myspaces, etc.

It's actually a good thing to say this upfront.
I might be wrong, because it's been a while since I developed a Meteor app, but doesn't Meteor come with real time data sync from server to all its clients using web socket?

In such case, I wouldn't agree with recommending Meteor for a simple CRUD app because naturally there are lots of performance overhead and moving parts.
> Does anyone know or have theories why Valve is doing all of this work?

I believe the running theory has been that it's a defense against Microsoft being Microsoft. If MS tries to do something like force all NT apps through their own store and take a cut of every sale, or anything else that poses too much threat to Valve, then Valve has an escape hatch in the form of Linux support. "You want 30% of our sales? Screw you, we'll tell our users to switch to Linux!" is a bit extreme, but it just needs to be a deterrent.

Oh good another competitor haha. I really like the way you worded the scaling issue, couldn't agree more. When I release it I'm hoping you're still in a shouting mood.
Correct.

There is a way to remember your past lives, if you do a certain penance for 12 years - not impossible, not complex, very simple, but very hard - do not utter a lie for 12 years consecutively. There are no loopholes - if you are born dumb, or lose the ability to speak, that doesn't count. you must be able and willing to speak, but still not utter a lie.

Do it for 12 years without a single break continuously, and on year 13 day 1, you can remember your previous births. Some have done it (hence the claim), but not many in the western 'modern scientific' world care to verify it, and just pooh-pooh it. Of course, it's not a loss for those who made the claim. Whoever wants it can go after it.
Ummmmmm... not sure if this is hyperbole or not, darn Poe's law.

I've seen a civil engineer push the limits of excel for complex stress-strian models, a finance comproller quickly build out elegant reporting models, and an environmental engineer build out a complex watershed model; but sure, spreadsheets and Excel is only for business majors.
Interesting to think about where we'll be when this happens again in 2049.

It's a difference of only 30 years. 30 years ago was 1989. Yet life today compared to then is simply alien - technology has impacted the way everyone and every thing exists.

The first self-powered flight was in 1903. Man landed on the Moon just 66 years later. In one lifetime you went from being perpetually constrained to the surface to literally flying above the sky, transcending all known heights, and you wouldn't even have retired yet.

SpaceX was started in 2002, a mere 17 years ago. It is now, on this very day, on the verge of delivering hardware that can send people to Mars.

In 30 years from now, if the optimists are correct, we'll be living on the Moon and probably Mars. If the optimists are correct, we'll be able to take a shuttle from Mars to Mercury itself by the time this event happens again.

The optimists are probably wrong. But it doesn't hurt to dream.

Captum – Model Interpretability for PyTorch
A lot of the myths have built-in assumptions and I think this one is a minefield: c: (variations by spec, version); language: (variations on args to 'main', if there even is a 'main'); platform: (variations on whatever runtime implementation of 'main' you're working with).
Many of these reduce to the regulatory escape hatch in finance that 'past performance does not imply future returns'. Your experience with 'main' doesn't necessarily map directly to whatever 'main' you're working with right now.
My personal favorite is assuming that /31 IP subnets (255.255.255.254) are invalid (RFC 3021), but also, to quote wikipedia:

> IPv4 addresses may be represented in any notation expressing a 32-bit integer value. They are most often written in dot-decimal notation, which consists of four octets of the address expressed individually in decimal numbers and separated by periods.

> For example, the quad-dotted IP address 192.0.2.235 represents the 32-bit decimal number 3221226219, which in hexadecimal format is 0xC00002EB. This may also be expressed in dotted hex format as 0xC0.0x00.0x02.0xEB, or with octal byte values as 0300.0000.0002.0353.
It's not emulation; x86_64 processors are backwards compatible (to a fault, arguably...), so it's just a little bit of support that AFAIK everyone leaves enabled because why not.
It'd be really weird if we could keep expanding Moore's law and surpass the brain on a performance per watt ratio.

Any tips for picking up soccer? ie. do you have a tim ferris style 80/20 split of what you would work on in the first year?
I recently had an experience getting software translated to Japanese. Just to test things while the translators were working I ran the all the yml files through google translate and then when we got the proper translations back I had a look at some of the things that changed that I would not expect to.

One interesting one is we had translations for status indicators (Red, Amber, Green) The real translator had translated these to the Japanese versions of Red, Yellow and Green but google translated had picked the word for "fossilized resin" rather than the color.

Since google translate is not using any context it has no way to know if I meant the color or the material.

For what it's worth, the terms and conditions in other Google products such as Chrome, Chrome OS, and Android Studio already include similar language. I don't believe this clause was added specifically for YouTube.

A bit over my head, is this proposing a more flexible replacement for monads?

This is how I feel when I use Linux!

Windows is moving towards apps living only in their own little containers, nice little isolated folders that they can't write outside of, with the exception of their reserved folder in AppData.

In contrast, *nix bunches executables up en-masse into a handful of folders.

It likely comes down largely to what you are used to.

I agree that most want to be a good member of the library, but what do you do about a few bad actors?

(I haven't read the policy but I guess there must still be some restrictions to prevent abuse.)
They have the same sort of form feed, but usually with wider paper and green bars. iirc they print a whole line at a time, which is why they are so-named. It's easy to see how one would get confused, since there is `/dev/lp` and `lp` or `lpr`

yea, if I `man 4 lp` (manpage for the device) on Amazon Linux 2 it is telling me about "parallel line printers" -- (`man lp` (for the lp command) mentions "hardcopy device, such as a printer or microfilm recorder".)

Very cool nonetheless.
I wonder if the talk you heard was related to this[0]?

I find it true when you only consider the higher quality open source projects, e.g. say the top 10k open source projects.

How are you defining "top" here? The best quality open source projects are not the most widely used projects -- if anything, I find that the correlation tends to be negative.
I remember a world without the internet, without personal computers, without ATM machines. I am a member of the last generation (until the apocalypse) who will know what life was like without these things. Traveling was more of an adventure back then because you were pretty much cut off from home. Nowadays, being away is not so different from being at home.

We may be living on the moon in 2049. Whether that represents a net improvement in the human condition is another matter altogether.
Yeah, that's definitely concerning then.

I wonder what the calculations behind it is. Maybe its similar to the fudging they do that makes my wife pay 40% less in insurance for the same car than I would.

Any financial modellers here that can chip in?
So, Does this mean that the YouTube has a clause to ban your account if you are using ad blocker? I would say that a person with numerous subscriptions and watches YouTube daily (non ad block user) would be considered commercially viable.
Author here.

Different people expect different things, so the expectations in my post can't obviously be interpeted as universal.

> Many of the “reality” parts are not always true, too

Which is why they're phrased as "often" or "sometimes" or "can happen". Not "always happens". If I've forgotten to add such a qualifier somewhere, please let me know, and I'll fix it.
A DUI for someone who spends much of their work hours behind the wheel is a significant issue, IMO. 2 DUIs bans you for life from getting a CDL in California, and the BAC level to be considered a DUI is half that as someone without a CDL, even when not driving a commercial vehicle.
The big banks like this have their hands in everything and connections all over the place. They have their own VC funds, they have investment bankers who specialize in different areas of tech, and they often have their own tech bus dev people in Silicon Valley who are deeply networked with both company founders and VC firms. For a lot of startups, being able to put the JP Morgan/Chase logo on your website as a customer is huge. The founders and VCs know this.
It might be hard to boycott AI assistants just like it's hard to boycott facebook. If assistant is powerful enough, people would be willing to onboard.
Perhaps you've stumbled unwittingly into the real reason behind current gun control measures in California and some other states.

It's not about keeping people safer, nor about making it easier to track criminals...

It would be less offensive to just be transparent about these regulations. It's about making it more difficult for anyone to legally purchase or maintain a firearm.

I expect the title and tone reflects that Magic Leap had a history/reputation of being able to walk into a room and have money thrown at it for no reason at all, and now it can't do that.

It also shipped in 2018 and has yet to file an S-1 for a public offering.

Typically, once execution risk has been retired (i.e. you are shipping a product), and market risk (or fit) has been retired (i.e. you're getting more demand than you can fill) then you pour in money and grow the company.

So they have been shipping for a year and don't have enough sales to be operationally cash flow positive, and they don't have a good enough story to convince investors that they can get to market success, and they need cash to continue operations.

No, what this note/observation makes clear is that it's that time where either they figure out some problem where their technology has the most value, or they end up selling off the chairs and desks and try to return something to their investors after JP Morgan sells their IP to cover their last loan.

Odds are its about to follow DAQRI[1] into the bin.

Honestly, this is a bit of a relief. All of the AI nightmare scenarios (be they the Terminator kind, or the more realistic hyper-empowerment-of-a-few-elites kind) rely on that exponential growth continuing unimpeded. If there's no exponential growth, there's no runaway AI that swiftly outpaces human understanding.
An utopian escape hatch, store now also does Win32 and MSIX is the way forward.

Every year since XP I keep reading how PC gamers will switch in droves to Linux because of X, instead those of us that really enjoy gaming and high performance graphics are on Apple, Microsoft, Google, Sony and Nintendo platforms.
Here is where out views diverge: you think reducing volume of supply is important, I think controlling supply is important.

You think reducing volume means what little supply is available will be used against high value targets only. In reality, the smaller supply will focus more on high value exploits which will still be leveraged at the same scale. Even if that was not true, you still have no control over exploit sales and use.

Allowing places like NSO and Zerodium to thrive with some control and restrictions is the best outcome. But really, do we even have law makers that understand any of this or perhaps the NSA/CIA can control them. Normal security companies have intel community ties,I think that can be acheived here as well.
eeeeh, that sounds more like tribalism; there's plenty of good webapps written in Python... and Ruby, and Go, and PHP, and Perl, and any number of other languages, many of which might be unexpected but work well for the people using them.

The Manitoba legislature building offers guided tours in English and French at alternating times. Of course the French tour is probably empty >90% of the time, but it still has to be offered in equal frequency. It wouldn't be fair to offer the English tour every 30 minutes, but only do the French tour twice per day.

So it's not just an issue of access, but equal access. That's why I called it 'bending over backwards'. It feels like a lot of politically-correct posturing that ignores the reality that there are very few French speakers in Winnipeg.

Despite all of this, the French services probably still suck. It's likely that they are equal on paper, but not in reality.
Probably should talk with them. Take a couple of shooting classes in any state and you'll meet a lot of cops really quickly.
This boomer doesn't do Facebook (or WhatsApp, or Instagram for that matter).

Then again I'm not likely to by a "smart"-speaker anytime soon.
What difference does it make really. Running a program on linux as a regular user can access all of your files, record your screen, keylog you, grab your passwords from your browser, do basically anything. Run it with sudo and what more can it do? Mess up your grub config? If a malicious program was run as a regular user it could basically ruin everything you care about unless you happen to be sharing a computer with multiple people but even then it could just wait until you run something with sudo and keylog your password.
