I have volume 1 and I found it hard to get into. I think it presupposes a few concepts that my university skipped - eg, the correct way to approach writing a computer science proof (it comes up really early on in the exercises).

I often wonder what else comp sci students learned that us software engineering students did not. All I know for sure is that we did a ton more testing, architecture, hardware, math, and requirements. I think we did more applied programming too, based on trying to work with comp sci students who write custom sorting algorithms instead of thinking to type .sort(). We did not learn a ton of algorithms though
That link appears dead to me. Typo? I’d love to see it
> what we potentially lose with a system that relies on algorithmic counting.

I don't understand this argument. From my understanding the computers (I'm not using algorithmic counting because that's not a distinct enough word. By hand you're still doing an algorithm) are already counting and the paper is a backup. If we can still count up all the ballots after and have a verifiable method, then I don't see anything lost.
That seems like that would sacrifice A LOT of entropy, that doesn't sound worthwhile at all.
what do you even do? Are you a full stack developer? data science? product design? product manager?
I've done edx, Coursera, now mit ocw, khan academy, and plan on continued experimentation. The best tool overall I've found is Anki.

I've also tried to keep my learning carried with lots of reading. The most academic book of the year I had was"energy and civilization".

I would strongly recommend learning how to learn to help formulate a learning plan and making sure you get the right level of challenge.
It's orders of magnitude less. Where I live, in a very cheap part of the country, I could buy a failed restaurant with enough of the pieces in place to not have to build out (permitting is a nightmare in the food world) for let's say $50k. That'd be a bad place in a bad area with most of the appliances gone. But I'd still have a hood and sprinklers and plumbing, so I'd be able to sink another $50k in and have a kitchen running before too long. If I wanted a bad failed restaurant somewhere that might actually bring foot traffic, double that cost.

Or I can rent a commissary kitchen for $18/hr, plus $100-$200/mo or so in dry and refrigerated storage, and scale from there. I could get started in a week.

To most chefs, this is the difference between "I can afford this now" and "I will literally never in my entire life be able to afford this."
Japanese men are also 'fed up' in the exact same way, and becoming "herbivores". It's not about individuals ("fathers, husbands and boyfriends") treating their partners like crap, it's about the lack of enduring social capital in a formerly group-oriented yet increasingly hyper-competitive society. The Western world is due to experience the same dynamics, unless we can get our act together.
SF transit is a nightmare.
Any idea why UK was not chosen as the place to sue, I have read it's easier to win and the diver was English?
But that how will I reconcile the cnn propaganda that drumf is always wrong and democratic party is always right and they lost because drumf cheated and not because democratic party sells out to China?
> Browsers really have to be a lot more skeptical about the code they run.

I absolutely believe you, and wrote a document how to make improvement.

> Code from non-TLS pages should not be able to run at all.

Whether or not it is TLS is irrelevant. Either way the user may wish to put their own code, and either way the server operator can change things whether or not is what the user intends. (TLS does prevent spies from adding code, but not all unwanted code is from spies.)

> Instead of locking the web down, let's give users the freedom to put on or remove as many locks as they want to live with.

I agree. Furthermore, allow the user to override any behaviour they want to do, too.

Allow the user to examine and copy the script (possibly with modifications); if the script changes (whether due to MITM or due to the author altering it or due to some other company purchasing them), it no longer runs unless the user approves the new one, too. Extensions that only allow free software to run don't help either; just because it is free software does not necessarily mean it is a program the user wants their computer to execute. Or, maybe the user wants to execute a modified version instead!
I was hoping for more details as to what you have been doing and how it has been.
Learned manipulation of alpha wave synchrony: neurofeedback control of attention
Bitnami Application Catalog
The main app in the course is based off the original cats vs dogs example provided by Docker. It's a combination of a .NET, Node and Flask app all wrapped together in Compose. It's not a huge project, but it does touch a few different web frameworks.

Most of the people who take the course go off to Dockerize their own applications using whatever framework they use. Most of the people who have mentioned slowness were working with Laravel apps, but there were also a few using large Node apps too. In all cases they were using a Mac.

No one has mentioned slow volume performance issues on Windows that wasn't fixable with tweaking a Windows setting or 2. Most of the time it was Windows defender (or some other anti-virus tool) drastically slowing down I/O.
Well, I don't have all the data points, but it seems to me that snakeoiler should stand out as an anti-pattern. Maybe VCs see it differently. Maybe they'd inform me that the snakeoil CEOs are sometimes frauds, but the non-snakeoil CEOs always fail (not enough energy, not charismatic enough to attract talent, etc).

("Huckster"... that's the word I was looking for)
> They incentive click-bait titles

that's because in digital, google & FB are gobbling up the bulk of advertising budgets, leaving little money in display advertising to be shared by hundreds of media sites. it's not an inherent property of ads that they create clickbait, it's the need for increasingly more ad views.
Drowning to the top is a great way to learn, always work with people who are smarter than you. If you want to know how good you are, do volunteer teaching at an off hours coding program.
Why do they have to use self-signed certs? Ship the device with a valid cert for $last_three_octets_of_mac_address.$vendor.com to the device, and print it clearly on the setup instructions. Typing in something like d63d15.ui.com isn't onerous.

The CA/Browser Forum allows certs up to 27 months - do routers sit on store shelves for 27 months before being configured? Do they even sit for 12 months? (Once they're online, they can renew their cert, possibly with the help of the vendor who can track the private key or something.)
I think this is right. The barriers to entry are lower and they have time to perfect menus and recipes. That said, the delivery element changes the way a chef is going to think about food. I see this model as being super helpful for food trucks (that have already have a customer following) to extend their sales during the down months or bad weather days.
You can't imagine multiple client applications of different versions attempting to install, and then interact with, different versions of the same stored-proc API abstracting away (variously-polyfilled views + triggers upon) a single shared underlying dataset?

I.e. a world where "FooClient v1.1.0" wants to interact with "DB schema Core-1/FooClient-v1.1.0", while allowing "FooClient v1.0.0" to still see "DB schema Core-1/FooClient-v1.0.0", and "BarClient v1.0.0" to see an entirely separate "DB schema Core-1/BarClient-v1.0.0"?

(I mean, sure, you could have each client construct its "API layer" of sprocs et al in its own client-specific schema, or worse yet, as its own connection-specific temporary objects—but that's pretty dang inefficient when tons of different clients are sharing the same few API versions, and when the different API versions share identical copies of 99% of their sprocs.)
I was in a similar boat coming to Pittsburgh, but I will say this about the mixture of tech and sports here: I've watched it have the effect of getting people who didn't care about sports one way or the other at least surface interested. It's a city where you can find a great many sports nerds who can introduce a person to why these games are interesting from a statistical and story side, which is how I've come to interact with them.

There's something to be said for places that overlap multiple cultures.
I work at a 3d company that's starting to land some contracts for AR. I don't think you're going to see consumer reasons for a while; instead look to colleges and other training platforms. AR and VR are gonna be huge in the medical fields - learning from a 3d model is so much easier than a textbook image.
If a site/service is built to do this, the average person just shares footage. The "psycopaths" that own democracy can't get reelected if their activites are plotted on a map, their license plates tracked to show where they spend their time, high dpi cams from long distance being used to read their lips. Their associates being subject to the same level of scrutiny as well. Essentially, what I am saying is they don't care about the people so let's make them care about themselves
Ah, I see you've worked with SEO companies too.
"Rightsholders, unlike what the directive says, do not have to justify their initial requests to block content, but only have to respond once a user challenges the blocking of one of their uploads."

I wonder if the law will allow for any penalties or restrictions against a rightsholder who "mistakenly" claims that every piece of user-uploaded media on a website is infringing their copyright.

Presumably a rightsholder could be a company (or individual) based anywhere in the world, and therefore would face no legal risk in making such "mistakes". (A creative lawyer might attempt to use fraud or "hacking" laws against such a rightsholder, but might have difficulty bringing them to court).

Some of the rightsholder's claims may even be completely valid, meaning that the hosting website couldn't afford to just disregard all their claims.
Most ghost kitchens have that. I mean, you can't sit down and eat there, but they are more than happy to have you order it from them directly and skip the 30% fee Uber Eats charges. Most of them have something like ChowNow (which you can order from off of a Google search without ever even going to their website).

Also many of them are food trucks, so they're still people you know if you're into the local food scene.
It's certainly not what browser makers want, since the browser makers dropped native extensions and Flash and Java, and it's not what many web developers want, given the popularity of Content-Security-Policy.
You don't need it.

1. in the morning, the ballot box is shown to be empty and is then locked.

2. during the day, voters leave their paper ballots in the box.

3. in the evening, the box is opened, and all the ballots inside it are counted.

The entire process is public, and the ballot box never leaves the public eye. So you can verify that your vote went into the box, and that all votes in the box were counted.
SF transit is _amazingly_ bad. It’s like the worst case scenario for anywhere I’ve been that has transit.

This is basically whataboutism. If you agree with the principle you should be calling for the people in CA to be personally culpable (and their investors and customers, who knew full well what they were doing). If you disagree, make an argument as to why the principle is wrong.
It does beg the question about accountability in the case of poor quality food or foodborne illness.
Most food doesn't deliver well. It basically steams itself in the packaging. Anything that wasn't meant to be soft ends up that way. I get mad when I see fries even available for delivery, though I hear the big potato companies are hard at work on the solution.

I've debated doing a ghost kitchen based entirely on "what foods deliver well".
One step closer to Iain M. Banks’ neural lace.
I dare you to come up with something better that has more traction. It's far too easy on HN to put other's work down - they've done fantastically well and made the world a slightly better place IMO.
How about when Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib accused (on national TV) the President of having intercourse with his mother? She's in a powerful political position (more than Musk's).

She had no evidence, and faced no consequences.
Algebraically, my intuition is that the x^2 + bx part of x^2 + bx + c = 0 "looks" pretty close to the expansion of (x+b)^2. If you relabel b so this becomes x^2 + 2b, it's even clearer. So you can try to fiddle with the constant term to make the LHS exactly that square, and you get completing the square.

This is similar to how you solve a first order linear DE, y' + f(x) y = g(x). The idea is that the LHS "looks" like the derivative of a product, (hy)' = h y' + h' y, so you fiddle with an integration factor to make the LHS exactly that derivative.
Face it though: the vast majority of truck consumers never use a truck as a utility vehicle, they use it as a family car with occasional hauling. As much "size comparisons" go on between average Americans and their truck engines, very little of it matters beyond marketing and bragging rights.

American car companies seem to have been reluctant to put EV engines in trucks for exactly those same sorts of marketing and bragging rights. "Guys" know how to "compare sizes" when it comes to wacky ICE engine numbers and descriptors like V8 and "ultra boosted turbocharged", but no one is actually really paying attention to physics or day-to-day commute reality. To announce that they were finally going to build an electric F-150, Ford pulled a marketing stunt of "towing a train" with it, because they felt they needed some way to brag about how powerful it was that looked interesting for ads.

Meanwhile Rivian is the interesting EV truck company not enough people are currently paying attention to.

Tesla's truck looks as ridiculous as it does for its own reasons of wanting to look futuristic and gather PR attention. They could have picked a more "traditional" form factor if they wanted (look at Rivian's projects or Ford using a traditional F-150 look), but they as much wanted to do their own version of "we can tow a train with it", albeit in this case it was probably more "we remembered Blade Runner was set in 2019 and were sad there weren't enough dystopian looking futuristic car models on the road like we were all promised".
Agreed. A reasonable model is that there's a really cool AR app that runs on a smartphone that you could imagine being cool^2 if it ran using a pair of stylish glasses instead.

But that doesn't really exist. There are some AR-ish apps like Google Translate that IMO fall into the better than nothing/sometimes useful category but there's certainly nothing in the "How did I live before this !?" camp.
You'd have a legitimate claim against said lynch mob.
This may work for obvious bad actors but would probably penalize genuine new market entrants.
Lots of places have legal requirements to take low bid contracts. This was largely an anti-corruption measure as it was deemed easier to get work out of a low bid contractor than an accurate accounting out of a corrupt process.

But now there exist a whole class of contractor that exist purely to provide the lowest possible level of compliance with municipal contracts. They spend more on legal defense than construction in many cases.
The .NET CLR (VM) has had proper generics and value types since 2002. Java did not implement generics until 2004 and to this day does not have user-defined value types. There was an opportunity to do it right in 2004 before this became "baked in".

There is really no good excuse. Many developers have abandoned java due to the glacial progress with both the language and the VM. It is legacy now.

The main benefit (IMO) of Vahala would be for other JVM languages (such as Kotlin) to make the implementation of value types more efficient.

(I use both CLR and JVM in my work, but is clear to me that the CLR is superior on many fronts).
They are not the same, but ghost kitchens do operate out of a commissary. A commissary is a shared use kitchen. A ghost kitchen (which admittedly would probably be better called a ghost restaurant) is basically just a delivery/pickup-only restaurant. It may operate out of a commissary or its own space.

The Food Corridor is a (very terrible) piece of software that allows bookings for kitchen space, so they probably focus on the ones that work from public kitchens for that reason, but lots of them have dedicated kitchens or rent from a church hall or VFW.
Based on what I remember testing against the parameters, somewhere around 2013 - 2015.
Tls sadly won't make a difference.
>all financed by the companies that can afford to pay for the ads.

Actually you pay for the ads. There are no companies who "can afford to pay for the ads". Everything they spend on ads is directly included in the price of the product. If you aren't a customer then another customer paid to show you ads. Ads are not for the user they are to maximize profit. It's a trade off for a company they can spend some of the revenue on ads to generate more revenue thus making less profit per item but more overall.
They target the optimum which means that several percent of revenue is put in ads. For everyone else this has only negative effects like less competition because the large player dominate trough ads or more resource wasting because ads make people buy stuff they don't need.
That doesn't work with proportional representation though.
Most people can't just commit a violent crime, apologize, and then the matter is considered settled. Why is it so hard to get the law applied to these types of criminals? Prosecute them for sexual assault on a minor, and lock them away from society.

Internet outrage should not have to make up for a non-functioning criminal justice system! The law and order crowd should be generally all over this, as creating a second tier of society that generally acts with impunity erodes everyone's belief in the rule of law.
Honestly, that doesn't allay my concerns at all. It all reeks of a pump-and-dump scheme. (I'm not saying that Handshake is trying to execute this scheme, but that they remind me of other projects which have done so.)

The pattern for these projects is pretty predictable: Promise amazing things from a technical project associated with a cryptocurrency token. Premine a bunch of those tokens and give them to insiders, then airdrop the token to create a market. The insiders sell off their tokens, and the project is forgotten.
"What this does is shift the necessary owner competencies away from operations and more towards marketing."

But those are the hard parts of running a business. So is this for people who want to play business, or who are fooling themselves that this is a shortcut to getting rich?
What do you mean by native pay services?
It may indeed not be acceptable public discourse, but that does not make one entitled to money via the courts, any more than Trump was entitled to money from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for accusing him of having sex with his mother.

Possibly. I use Serverless as well but I prefer to keep my options open when playing with a new project, than trying to force everything into the same tool. If he is lean to learn something, Ansible might be good for setting some servers up, but there are some nice other suggestions in the thread if he doesn't want to.
Thanks for sharing. I've been perusing your blog posts and GitHub repositories for a week or so. Very useful stuff :)

Just switched jacobsparts.com over from ec2 to vultr. Cheaper by the hour than a 3yr reserved instance on aws, none of the nickel and dime billing and the cpu is sooooo much better, cutting ~250ms off the response time. Had an unplanned reboot today. Got an email from support and then it went down for about 20 seconds. Overall there is tremendous value in the smaller hosts, and I loved the article; though doubt some of the hosts reviewed will be around for long.
That's your particular opinion. Which you are free to have.

Other Americans have their particular opinions. Which they are free to have.

My primary concern, or my opinion, is that all Americans are able to exercise lawful rights in support of their opinions without governmental interference. I am as supportive of the Nazi as I am of the Feminist in this regard. And the good news, is that the Constitution is equally inclusive. It ensures that everyone gets the right to express themselves, or boycott, or associate with, or ignore, whatever or whomever they please.

You may not think so right now, but this is actually a good thing. It really does protect you.
A massively popular and powerful public figure calling a layman a pedo, doubling down several times, and pretending they have proof is not enough? No, you'd rather pretend that OP's imagined feelings are unreasonable, not this billionaire's temper tantrum. Shame on you.
The title is like a headline that I would expect from a professional left-wing publisher, though; it doesn't seem unreasonable at all, and I'm not sure what it could be changed to since the author is a politician and this is basically a political speech that focuses on the topics brought up by the title.

Hear hear!

They call you a consumer because your job is to shut up and buy the shit they shovel out and keep a grin on your face as you buy buy buy.
Promoters of GM crops always trot this out, but the overwhelming majority of GM developments are much less beneficial to humanity, some actively harmful, some just anti-competitive, some with unknown or unknowable consequences. They generate legitimate suspicion about the technology itself.

BT toxin is an essential tool of organic farmers, that in normal circumstances only ever appears on the surface of plants, and can be rinsed off. Some GM crops make the plant produce the toxin throughout, where it cannot be rinsed off. Nobody knows whether BT toxin is safe for humans to consume in such quantities, but in any case a very likely short-term outcome of widespread use of such crops is insects resistant to BT toxin, and farmers in need of a new alternative.

Most of the GM crops are less pernicious but no more defensible. Soybeans that are resistant to glyphosate are patented, so farmers have to buy new seed every year, and they drive increased use of glyphosate on farms.

How do we get yellow rice without getting all the crap? Nobody knows.
