The future of plagiarism is GANs.

Currently it's washing it through machine translation.

But to the actual topic, the fun of lynching Siraj Raval...I don't get it.

Is the course a scam? No one has really said it is. Seems to be ok.

Not sure I know of many programmers who cite their stackoverflow which they must. He has cited as required, hasn't he?

Wooooo he plagarised on a non peer reviewed site. I assume it's quality is crap anyway.

Why are we talking about this? I don't get it.
Google would have to become a remote management company for that to happen. But Google makes so much money that they're not really under pressure to do that.

Outsourcing is a strategy employed by companies who need software engineers on the cheap and are less concerned about the non-zero difficulty of remote work/management.
How to Start a Business with No Money. Is That Possible?
surely you are aware that countries such as yours that give people good money for not working are extremely rare and in the minority?

I feel like you are being intentionally daft, almost as a way of showing off how good you have it with your welfare state.
That's pretty surprising. I'd read their government wasn't happy about it but haven't heard much on it since.

Understanding JavaScript Date Instances
I started as a backend c++ dev, I am now a mobile dev. The transition was actually pretty easy, especially since I had some familiarity with java (mostly from the uni).

You already know java, learning Android should be pretty easy, whether you leverage kotlin or not.

That would be the obvious option number 1 to develop your app.

Whether you want to :

- do it in java or kotlin for Android

- start with ios instead learning swift

- use a crossplatform sdk. Caution, there is a reason why these sdks are still only marginally used. It is not because mobile devs are grumpy but because they come with some advantages and drawbacks and very often these drawbacks are too important.

- find somebody to code it for you.

will depend on what kind of app you are doing, and what you want to do with it.

e.g. some kind of social app should probably be on all platforms because you want to maximize network effects.

Photography apps are a bit easier to develop on iOS. As with everything dealing with low level, having a smaller surface of change helps.

It depends also on your market.
This sounds like two Point of Sale software companies I used to interact with.

PCAmerica sold themselves to a credit card processor that was then also acquired, and the POS software has been frozen in amber the last 5 years (with the same terrible bugs). Their market share has collapsed since then, as software support has been outsourced to India and they cobranded with Heartland Payments.

The other POS company is still struggling to survive, they have a couple large accounts but they are all using the legacy codebase built atop VB6, and their C#/Angular.js rewrite is still missing most of the features they had 15 years ago, despite 4 full time developers working on it since 2015.

Admittedly, the latter company seemed like a series of unfortunate events. They bet on Index Payments (Started by some Googlers, bought to be scrapped by Stripe which told grocers nationwide that they were going to brick their payments), did not chase large volume accounts that could have funded more developers & support, and inevitably missed the mark by rewriting a large application and halting forward progress.
Sure Reddit has more write activity but I don't see the number of replies being such a big factor. SO questions have answers, comments, tags, related questions, and many other secondary data to load. Reddit is slow due to poor architecture and a terrible frontend.
not true, although i'm sure there are one-off instances where there's no encryption. but in general there's lots of encryption on each of the different levels of secure government networks.

Ardour: 20th Birthday
Again, libraries have a finite supply of media: If a book isn't available, many library users trade money for time and buy a new copy. Indeed, new and popular books may have a wait time of months to get a copy.

The library model is very different from the unbounded-online-secondhand-store (UOSS). The library will typically scale the number of copies of a popular book, but with some limit and longterm lookahead. The UOSS will get new used copies of a book until saturated, and then have effectively infinite copies going forward, like a used bookstore that never has to worry about floorspace for inventory.

Now, it actually hurts my soul a bit to argue this side of things. I completely get, sympathize, and 99% of the time am on the side of making content available by any means necessary... It might be a good compromise would be something like limiting resale of a given copy to one per year. The concern is making sure content creators can get paid during periods of 'hotness' while still making things easily available during the cool (or deep-freeze) periods.

In any case, actual modeling is needed... 'It'll be ok, libraries exist' doesn't cut it.
Come on, are you serious? Tarot on HN? Is someone looking for a new gf or what? This is the antithesis to rational thinking.

the hardest part is to learn "modern android" and not to be bogged down by all the old ways to do things that you can find on the web.

e.g. lifecycles, we now have good tools to wrap them and don't really have to care about them.

The official doc is a good starting point.
I share a lot of your views but don't forget, this is only about the French market; in all likelihood Steam would either comply only locally (though other countries might follow suit, literally, especially in Europe) or pull out entirely from France (unlikely imho, it's still a rich market, but who knows how crazy things can get nowadays).
In my European country precent has no power. Does in Europe as a whole?

How an Alzheimer’s ‘cabal’ thwarted progress toward a cure
Didn't use to be. VIA/centaur was the first to add AES instructions, later picked up by Intel and AMD. Its not free, but not expensive.

A brilliant woman from, where, Slovenia? figured a way to use SSE instructions to encrypt just as fast as the built-in instructions, I think 2 cycles per byte.

I guess DJB's ciphers run much the same way, nowadays.
I created ZenJournal for this exact reason. I've used it continuously for the last year and a half, in contrast to all the dozen other apps I've tried. It was actually showcased here a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21876939

However, my focus is more manually inputted private thoughts, ideas, and todos, not an information dump with all my activities like what you described.

The app is essentially saving an array of logs with timestamps, so technically it should be easy to merge and blend it with your other automated logs from other devices, but currently, it's kept intentionally offline only with no syncing function.

I found the biggest thing for me is speed to log, ZenJournal accomplishes this with a super quick open and log interface, and also provides a Discreet Mode feature that will help you log in public spaces.

It's also very fast to search because you can simply type ? to start searching.

For those looking for a cross-platform alternative, I'd recommend a private Twitter account too:
- It supports most media types.
- It exports.
- There are many clients and ways to automate it.

It's unnecessarily online to me and the information density is too low with the redundant profile picture and revert-chronological timeline, which is not easiest to read (a private Slack channel or Telegram chat will fix this).
Yup it's the recovery phase that can be more deadly. I have been fighting with nurses that come into the room, not covering their face while coughing and clearly having a cold when caring for my immunocompromised father, among dropping medical implements and not changing gloves after touching soiled or germ laden objects then attending to my father for medications etc.

This stuff is frightening, if I wasn't here he would surely develop a life threatening infection in his immunocompromised state (he already did a course of antibiotics for something he picked up from the hospital environment.. pseudomonas?)
Was looking at building something similar on top of Lambda but I'm so happy that I found this!

Quickly browsed through the code and I don't think it supports local pages but might throw a PR your way to add support if you don't mind. Thanks!

usually solo professionals like yourself will start a side business selling coaching, tools, lessons, guides etc to other practitioners. certainly have a huge base of developers out there who need help going out on their own and could use some coaching on the business and sales sides.
On the contrary, divination can actually be helpful (in some circumstances) by providing controlled sources of randomness to get our brains out of their ruts. It’s not a mystical property of the cards; they just provide a structure. It’s essentially rubber duck debugging + randomness.

It's fantastic. I charge it once a month, and can't imagine using a watch that needs to be charged every night.

But I'm worried about the data it sends back.
the fps filter (which gets auto-inserted with -r)

Which ffmpeg version are you using? This hasn't been the case since 2012. Both input and output -r are effected through fftools and not libs.
I've worked at BigCo. It's resume padding with the fear of looking like an idiot for not knowing about the new tech.

We were going to go all in on Snowflake with everyone on the team being for it. I sat down, read the original whitepaper, wrote a simulation of what the costs would look like with the current read/write statistics and tested a small batch of data on it to double check.

Turns out we would have paid between x500 to x10,000 what we were currently paying for using Postgres. I moved on three months ago, and last I heard they were trying to use Snowflake again.
If you're using anything Hadoop related you're not optimizing programmers.

I wouldn't say everything else is fluff.

Having them feel heard helps. Actually solving some of the issues they raise helps a lot more.

I inherited a small department from another (over-committed) manager. Productivity and satisfaction has skyrocketed and I lay most of that purely on the fact that when we do one-on-one meetings, I'm realistic with people about what we can accomplish but whatever we agree is realistic actually gets followed up on. We're not just setting goals for them, but for me too, and I hold myself just as accountable to those goals as I hold them to their goals.

Someone who listens is a manager. Someone who listens and holds themselves accountable to making their employees able to be productive is a leader.
At my work we just file a bug and make sure it gets prioritized as a must-fix... The code might contain a bug number and remark too for redundancy, but the bug itself generally spells out the bits of code that need to be changed/removed/whatever.

Using code comments really seems like the wrong place to prioritize changes. Even on personal projects.
I believe it would be an interesting exercise if you let the system decide everything, like how often the data is sampled, what information is shared and with whom, etc. Information it might share could be time of day, location, all sorts of routing data, data hashes, # of connections and host throughput rates, and so on. I just did a very quick search on arxiv about leveraging ML algorithms in software defined networking. My guess is that the starting state assumptions that are most important are whether it's a centralized (homogenous) or distributed (heterogenous) network. A fun problem.
Monday: The Structure of Daniel
Right, they didn't want us encrypting what they were going to encrypt in their routers anyway. "Trusted" is a technical term.

So they started using Aspera to send video from the UAVs over Iraq etc. to the Pentagon. Before that, they were literally flying boxes of videotapes (or CDs? Tapes seem hard to believe, except this was govt.) to a warehouse, where analysts could check them out, like from your neighborhood library.

Probably now it's all realtime. But they have to stream it, somehow, so it is likely still going via Aspera to Nevada or wherever they work the remote pilots.

I have the impression when we read stories like this that it's not that the leading researchers in the field are hostile to other ideas, as such, but that they are not very well versed in economics and thus think that scarce research funding should flow their way because giving any to other possibly-wrong approaches would be wasteful, and likewise abandoning or discounting the predominant theory would be a terrible mistake because of all the money that has already gone into it (a sunk cost fallacy). Over and over we see that expertise in one field - even a very rigorous scientific one - doesn't immunize one from fallacious thinking in other contexts.

Plus, if it works, who cares?

It's a bit strange to have an objection to a thing based on the idea that it's impossible.

I once objected to the idea that colors look fundamentally different in darkness than in light. When put like that, it's kind of silly to imagine that one could object to it. But my objection was mostly to do with the way it was presented: Someone told me to stare at a picture and let my brain "buy into it." I was younger and practically laughed it off. But sure enough, after actually doing it, the picture looked much more vivid.

One possibility presents itself as to why Tarot debugging might be effective: Perhaps it gets you to try more things than you otherwise would have.

The post begins:

envision the product or service you are trying to understand more about. Think of the plans that went into it, the users of the service, how this understanding will help them, and where the missing part of knowledge fits into the larger whole. Write this all out if it helps, the more detail the better.

So, user stories. Right?

From further down:

draw The Action. This card will help you decide what action you need to take. This could be restarting a server, fixing a communication pattern (or lack thereof), or even just doing nothing and waiting a few minutes. Sometimes it means that you need to stop what you are doing and try to do the read again later. It’s okay for that to happen, though that should only be a very rare occurrence.

This sounds pretty similar to ad-hoc debugging techniques I've seen.

I'm not saying it's a great idea to, y'know, restart a production service based on a card telling you. But on the other hand, have you tried restarting it to see if that helps? Who among us hasn't tried that, honestly? And being told to do it just to see what happens seems like it has a decent chance of being effective.

I kind of want to go the other direction and make a deck of cards for debugging. You shuffle the deck, draw a few cards, and see if you've tried all the techniques it mentions. You could even have decks for designing systems, refactoring code, etc.

It seems like there's a deeper disconnect here: We want to believe so badly that programming is scientific work. But it's craftsmanship. Are these rituals really so much stranger than the rituals of Japanese swordsmiths? Why engrave a sword with such embellishment when it serves no functional purpose? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_swordsmithing#/media/...

Not the same kind of noise, but this reminds me of a college project from college when I was studying electrical engineering.

We were building an MP3 player using an Atmel AVR dev board with off board circuitry for the MP3 decoding and DAC for output. We couldnt get the MP3 decoder working, despite us appearing to be sending all the right signals/data. Everything looked fine in the logic analyzer. We werent running at super high frequencies, either. Maybe just a few MHz.

We didnt find the problem until someone bumped the frequency scaling, so we were looking at the signal in much higher frequencies. Thats when we saw all of the noise in the signal. We had all sorts of jitter from signal bounce. Our external board was connected to the dev board via an 18" ribbon cable and we had forgotten to properly terminate the bus.

It was really embarassing as we had just taken travelling waves the semester before and should have thought about it. But, hey, we were students, and undergrads at that, so definitely a learning experience and reinforced a class we were required to take and thought was useless at the time. Lesson learned.

For anyone curious why we would build a hardware MP3 player, this was back when the only HW portable players were the early Diamond Rio's (think they only had a 32MB and 64MB model available at the time).

Edit: typo MGHz->MHz
in LA (and surrounding cities), we have an amazing system of recreational/community/senior centers that are used by all classes of people. sure, the (wealthier) west side has fancier activites (e.g., tennis) and generally larger/nicer facilies, but everyone has equal access to all of them. i've both played rec basketball (for a fee) and volunteered as a youth basketball coach at them.

the centers are run almost entrepreneurially, with a blend of public funding (based on service metrics) and direct revenue (by charging for activities). it works great.
Thank you for saying this as I'm sitting here bedside with my dad 2 months post intracranial hemorrhagic stroke and watching his care team make mistake after mistake, giving him aspirin, ibuprofen (blood thinners for a hemorrhagic stroke patient is not good!), not covering their face when visibly having a cold and coughing while he is in an immunocompromised state (can get deadly infection complications quick), not attending to his needs when he soils himself so he can be in bed for hours in agony and is not able to alert them (he is ESL and has stroke induced aphasia so can't speak much, right side paralysis so he can't really press the nurse call light let alone remember to).

To them he is just another patient and a number in the system. I've seen them cut corners and get frustrated doing their job (having to change him etc) and talking behind our backs in the hallways when I'm getting on their case to get his BP meds ASAP and notify doctor (high blood pressure >160 systolic is BAD for hemorrhagic stroke patients).

Anyone have any tips or resources for how I'm supposed to be optimizing his recovery and shield him from mistakes of his care team? Thanks, this is really taking a toll on me and I'm trying my best everyday to make sure he gets out of the hospital setting and on the road to recovery. I've been by his side every night switching with another family member for 24/7 coverage for months now.
>It’s essentially rubber duck debugging + randomness.

I think it's the emphasis on the source of the randomness that rubs people (myself included) the wrong way. People attribute some kind mystical supernatural influence as the reason why those cards were chosen, and the culture of people who are into tarot does not minimize those interpretations.
Years ago I arrived at roughly this conclusion, that randomness could be a source of creativity (which then has to be evaluated rationally). But from the first paragraph of the OP:

"They act to your soul like iron filings do to a magnet. When you shuffle the cards, the Universe (via entropy) examines all of those myriad inputs and helpfully orders them so you get exactly the message you need most."

Uh... this isn't a rational approach to tarot at all.
I've yet to find a programmable watch that is competitive, but...

I've been working on a DIY smartwatch firmware that uses the OLED version of the DSTIKE ESP32 watch development kit. This kit is less than $40 and is basically a small ESP32 dev board with a few LEDs and a mono OLED screen.

It has the following features of use for a developer:
2.4ghz wifi, BLE, 2 cores and an interesting ULP core that can actually do a fair amount of logic (such as detect buttons) while still drawing microamps, A modestly accurate RTC that survives deepsleep, An internal white LED, which as packaged can be used as a reading light, A neopixel on the front, a square wave driven buzzer on the front, and a 600mah LIPO battery, and power management with discharge protection and .

It is not by ANY means waterproof, but with some work (3d printing an enclosure and using a sealing spray) it can be modestly water resistant. At its price, you can actually buy more than 1 as backup in the event of serious water damage though.

The predecessor to this was an ESP8266-based system (a much less capable chip) for mass wifi deauth attacks.

It's a very interesting project writing a smartwatch firmwatch from scratch. Currently I'm trying to get to where I can use Rust (which I don't really know yet, so: learning opportunity) to write the core event loops I need. I won't be able to use Rust for the ULP cores (that has to be done in assembler) or OLED drivers, but I'm fairly sure the normal Rust binding generators will work fine.

I highly recommend trying something like this if you have the time and inclination. It's very fun to incrementally add features to the watch.
