I bought a tank of water and sand once from a sketchy looking gas station. You bet ever since I definitely buy gas from stations that look clean and in good repair.
think about it like this:

with a 10 minutes training the neural network takes about 8 shots to hit the target, so as the player, you have 8 shots to hit it before it hits you.

after 20 minutes of training the nn would take about 4 shots to hit you... so on and so forth.

the original idea was to have several levels of difficulty and distribute them across the game levels.

levels 1-10 poorly trained nn
levels 2-20 better trained nn
levels 30 and above you got one shot before the nn hits you.

anyway, it was just an idea

The article does not talk about the possibility of an ultralight frozen cloud. It only mentions one kind of "solar sail" structure.
Yeah, that is when I switched focus back into Mac/Windows as my main platforms and IDEs.

Thanks for the hint.
There's no such 'clear line' and this is not a 'story' it's a patent application - things that are themselves notoriously easy to misinterpret and misrepresent. If there is something important about the application, someone could have written a better-titled story about it or, again, left a comment. You're basically asking for made-up titles because you don't like what happened to this submission. The solution to this problem is better submissions, not made-up titles.
capture-pane has -p so you can pipe its output rather than letting it create a buffer you have to delete.
Yep! I think we should be able to publish a JSON schema definition that editors like vscode can use to provide autocomplete etc.

Incase you didn't see the other comment.

They take 5% + $0.50 for each transaction. Seems pretty high to me, guessing that is why they're effectively hiding this information. Interesting conversion technique.
Australia here. About 20 years ago I asked my Japanese[0] girlfriend why I saw a lot of (i.e. white) Australian guys with Japanese girlfriends, but hardly any Japanese guys with Australian girlfriends. She said with a huge laugh that Japanese guys are really afraid of Australian girls! hehe.

I thought I understood that's because Aussie girls generally would seem loud, opinionated, immodest, over-assertive, disrespectful, compared with the Japanese feminine ideal, or even the masculine ideal. And Japanese males are often..more sensitive, artistic, considerate, reflective etc - not traditional Australian male virtues!

No, it's a new standard where the site securely negotiates the login with the browser. What happens after that is the browser's job, all the site cares about is that it sees a correct credential.

Eg your password manager could implement this so all you'd have to do is click "log in" and you'd be in, without usernames or passwords to remember or steal.

It's not democratic, so what? It doesn't mean it's not necessary. Democracy doesn't always work for the public interest.

> seen as an alarming development in a country's history.

What do you mean? How would "an alarming development" be problematic? Democracy or not, action is required, and despite knowledge of the problem, I don't see any progress. I have nothing against democracy.

> and any political attempt to make them will be met with a huge amount of backlash and instability.

I think there is enough support for drastic measures, I don't think instability is a big risk. And if there is not enough support today, there will be more at each new heatwave and forest fire.

Not necessarily: the WebAuthn spec mentions two other types of authenticators in the introduction section (https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-1/#intro):
"Broadly, compliant authenticators protect public key credentials, and interact with user agents to implement the Web Authentication API. Implementing compliant authenticators is possible in software executing (a) on a general-purpose computing device, (b) on an on-device Secure Execution Environment, Trusted Platform Module (TPM), or a Secure Element (SE), or (c) off device."

> There does not seem to be a way to have privately generated software keys

A specification is something different than an implementation. On https://github.com/herrjemand/awesome-webauthn you'll find (at the time of writing) two software implementations. https://krypt.co/ can be a third if you want to consider a U2F implementation as well.

That's a homepage though, I'd argue that questions pages are more like landing pages for SO.
Indeed, I just doubt it could handle the Quake sized web pages, hence my point about being updated for the Web.
If you haven't had a single query bring down a service at least once, you just don't have enough industry experience with services.

It's surprisingly easy to bring down complete complex services system with a unlucky degenerate case.
I hate the ecosystem. That being said, you can’t go wrong by having JS under your belt. Because of its ubiquity and path dependency, it’s not going anywhere.

Besides it’s the one language that can be used for any front end development - web, mobile, and desktop.

Typescript makes it a lot less painful as a language but the ecosystem is still a mess.
Pathetic men supporting this, even when the money doesn’t go to charity. Everywhere you turn on social media there’s a naked woman asking for money, and she’s often receiving plenty.
You can just implement the client in software and use it if you want, the protocol doesn't care. Firefox already ships with that functionality and you can enable it.

No. Profit sharing gives you money based on the overall profitability of the company. However, even if your contribution is enormous, it's unlikely to make more than a barely perceptible change to the overall profitability of the company, meaning the impact on your own pay will be tiny.

Profit sharing works by trying to make employees feel connected to the success of the business, but they don't make sense based on any kind of effort/impact/reward calculus.
It’s almost like the designers thought - we are so damn close to killing the password, but, nah, why bother.
> An Android phone itself can be used as a bluetooth hardware token, with Chrome on your laptop.

If you're referring to the caBLE (cloud-assisted Bluetooth LE) transport: this is still being worked on (https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/909 but the actual discussion in the FIDO Alliance is non-public) and at the time of writing only works on Google properties.

To add: https://github.com/herrjemand/awesome-webauthn also mentions implementations completely in software. Whether those are a good idea depends on your taste, but for playing around you don't need any kind of hardware.

The paper talks about this option (well, burying the output of this process).

It's carbon negative to use it as a soil additive, but you don't get to burn the bio-coal for energy, so it's slightly less profitable.

I guess you could do a bit of both and be exactly carbon neutral.
It seems like a status or marketing play
Reserving CPUs for your application definitely qualifies as "extreme measures".

In general you should expect userspace code to be scheduled out at any time and use locking primitives that the kernel knows about.
I am really excited about WebAuthn finally being the end of usernames/passwords and credential leaks/thefts, so much so that I've implemented a Django library for usernameless authentication with WebAuthn:

So leave the password field empty if you want to use SSO, but keep it for standard Google accounts, so at least people using those don’t have to deal with the madness?
There are a lot of nonfiction books where I expect the data would show me as having abandoned it, but really I think the books are just too long. Popularizations of scientific research fit this category very well -- halfway into most of them I'm pretty convinced I've gotten everything out of them already.

It sends me into morbid down spirals. I'm almost angry and don't see the point of this. Why not ask for a Nobel Prize in theoretical physics. Two actually.
Adding to that, it's important to keep in mind that goroutines are not OS threads but coroutines, which are more lightweight. Providing a "go" function that starts a thread may be a footgun if someone assumes that it can be used as extensively as it is possible in Go.
Without waxing too poetic about it, its like .. are you deliberately not hitting the nail on the head? ;)

> Perhaps there's a relationship between the perceived need for a scientific sounding explanation and compatibility with traditional medicine for a particular idea.

I think there is a chemical reward system in play in order to even want to seek information, of any quality. Even in its most utterly click-baity, priori, emotionally contrived or pseudo-scientific form...(needing something "science.")

It isn't as deep of a reward system as the one engaged where you are totally in awe of natures order and discover the capacity to produce information and thus direct some control over it through planning...(demonstrable compatibility.)(its too bad the click-bait people aren't selling better dope.)

That biology produces complex molecules which are even 'compatible between organisms in plant and animal is pretty awe inspiring. And, that the control of human intention has any control over nature, electrochemically or otherwise, likewise so.

Thank you for posting what I found to be an unbiased and helpful response, alangpierce.

I know it's easy for equality to feel like oppression to people who've never known life without whatever priviledges they may enjoy (race, gender, looks, height, etc.). To combat that, I flip it and see if I feel the same way.

In this case, if "gentlewoman's agreement" were the dominant idiom, I'd probably feel excluded no matter how many women assured me that the phrase wasn't biased.
I have to agree. I agonised over the design of our landing page but eventually came to the same conclusion.

Plain text that gets as many selling points into the eyes of the visitor above the fold is what I believe is the most sensible route if you're debating bit to design your landing page.
Yep. I don't pay any attention to ratings, though I do go through and read reviews. Mostly the middle range ones (2-4 stars), because they're usually the people who can see some good and bad and comment on it more fairly than just those who leave 5 star or 1 star reviews. It's also nice to read reviews of people I follow and to see what they think of it.

Otherwise, I use it mainly to track what I've read and what I think of it. I wrote reviews for a while, and might start getting back to that this year, but it's really good for tracking my personal star rating of a book and to see what I think of stuff. It can also be useful for getting recommendations as well, based on their recommendation algorithms as well as similar books and ones people mention in reviews.
As someone who enjoys all 4 of those things, hello.
I felt that way the first time I tackled it, but then trying again years later I really got into the flow of it. Something just clicks. It's like music that way; sometimes what's initially abrasive sounds good on revisit. Which isn't to suggest everyone can enjoy it, it is still very much an acquired taste. I still don't understand Joyce, for instance.
I was amazed when I could point parcel to a html file that imported a typescript file and it worked. Only downside was that I was importing the script as a module and then half of the typescript imports stopped working. Had to bundle everything as one big typescript file to work around it.

I think they fixed this in Parcel 2 but didn't try yet.
The Deleted Passage of the Declaration of Independence
> When I ask people at trendy big tech companies why algorithms quizzes are mandatory, the most common answer I get is something like "we have so much scale, we can't afford to have someone accidentally write an O(n^2) algorithm and bring the site down".

I think people who say this just don't get what's really going on here. If you look at these types of interviews, a big part of what they select for is:
1) Some sort of problem-solving skill that's a mix of raw intelligence and/or ability to solve problems by pattern-matching to things you've seen before.
2) Ability/commitment to work on something that may not be that intrinsically motivating, in the context of getting/maintaining a certain type of job.

These interviews select exactly for that. To pass, you usually have some mix of:
- raw intelligence.
- ability to pattern match to similar problems you've seen before.
- ability and motivation to spend time preparing for these types of interviews, even if they're not really what you care about doing.

That's really what they're trying to capture. It's not a perfect filter (you will still have some false positives and plenty, plenty of false negatives), but it works "well enough".

You really only need one Dan Luu per like 10 or 100 engineers at a FAANG. Most people aren't going to be optimizing at the level he is, they're going to be doing work that's mostly a mix of problem-solving by pattern matching, and ideally, they're motivated enough to have that job for as long as possible.
And how do you enroll the second device?

It would have to be something like;

1) Login on primary device

2) Generate a one-time code or link

3) Enter one-time code or click link on 2nd device

4) Click an “Enroll” button on the 2nd device which would generate a second enrollment saved in the account.

You would have to do this for each and every service so that seems like a total non-starter.

Alternatively, a way to share the private keys securely between the devices. But I’m not sure if there are site-specific salts as part of the WebAuthN signing process which would require additional state be sync’d between the devices in order to authenticate to a new service on both devices?
Playdate site is awful. It appears to be designed for people sitting 2 meters away from their 8K screens.
It needs to have some form of hysteresis.
> To me, it is completely reasonable that the original author might have made a mistake like this. After all, when he shared his findings it seemed like he had found something interesting to me! Many people on this very site commented positively on his efforts. There is nothing "garbage" about the code that he wrote, it just doesn't quite do exactly what he thought it did.

It was blogged about, so carries some authority on the topic, and was convincing to readers, but the code did nothing close -- not just "not quite exactly" -- to what it was portrayed to be doing in the benchmarks or article. It is garbage; useless; should be binned. I tried to come up with better adjectives -- "dangerous", "useless", etc -- but they came up short, in subtle ways. Who cares; Linus explains what he means better than the one, concise word.

I'm not following this logic, we don't know what the direct cause of diabetes Type 2 is, but there's evidence it's linked to sugar.

What this means is that you can't authoritatively state that sugar is the cause of diabetes. It does not mean that sugar has been proven to not be the cause.
This is an awesome implementation and so much fun to play. Congrats an that.
But I had a few times were two players picked the same set at the same time and both got that added to their points. Is that intended behaviour?

> Perens, in a phone interview with The Register, explained that the OSI has existed for 21 years and has been approving software licenses during that time. There are more than 100 such licenses, he said, and having that many is harmful to the community because when you combine software with multiple licenses, that creates a legal burden.

It's funny how one of the people who helped create this mess, says licenses such as the GPL give people freedoms but also create a legal burden. Pick one, will ya?!

Couple hours ago and before I read this statement of his I said these these supposedly freedom-granting licenses don't increase freedom because they create obligations and come with restrictions (my comment regarding his blog post about the proliferation of the ethical licenses), and was heavily downvoted.
Riot Communications Lead on Announcing Risky/Controversial Video Games
Pynchon and DFW were convinced that that zaniness was the right direction for new fiction, led by John Barth (Giles Goat-Boy) and Donald Barthelme (Sixty Stories.) The stuff is ... not a lot of fun.

I think folks like Martin Amis did it a lot more entertainingly, though the self-aware sophistication is (sigh) a lot to bear.

Where DFW embodies the virtues you admire is his non-fiction -- Consider the Lobster and A Supposedly Fun Thing I think are fascinating expositions into just how far down you have to dig to get at the emotionally authentic.

As for his fiction, I don't think he lived long enough to get all his sophomoric ideas out and get to material that actually mattered to him.
Rails is like Django, it's boring because it's predictable, well documented, safe and stable. All of which, for me, is a huge plus. Version 6 was released recently, it's always being updated and it's stunningly easy to use.

I really hope that by separating Web Bundles from signed exchanges that Firefox will get on board. And I really hope that Firefox retains and gains relevance somehow.
In the essay¹ he literally says he doesn't want to remove women's vote:

> It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better.

I don't expect what he actually said will change anyone's mind about what they think he's said though...

Pretty funny, but it looks like macOS Mojave does this already - there's a "Turn on Do Not Disturb when mirroring to TVs and projectors" setting in System Preferences > Notifications > Do Not Disturb - which might explain that development seemed to stop more than a year ago: https://muzzleapp.com/updates/ Unless there's something else that it does which isn't covered by that preference setting?
What I meant was, the recording is half dial tone and half music, because they're overlaid with each other.

Subtract the dial tone and the music part is "half" the total copyrighted work (which includes the dial tone).

But the music part is still 100% copyrighted. Same way that if you publish a book with 200 pages, pages 1-100 are still 100% copyrighted even though they make up only half of it.
> In other news, the famous interview question "what would you say is your greatest weakness" reveals that most people's greatest weakness is actually not very bad, and could even be spun as a positive.

I think that question survives not because it plumbs the candidate's greatest weakness but because it shows how gracefully they can walk a tightrope. Same for the Thiel question.
I'm not even sure where to start here.

I'll just reiterate that every tool I mentioned is prevalent across corporate America. Industries like Oil and Gas, Healthcare, Banks, Telecoms, Airlines, Shipping Companies, Food Products, etc.

It is often described on the surface level as a zany espionage novel, thematically about psychology and paranoia, over the backdrop of the war. Confusion I suspect is part of the experience, but you gain a clearer picture of it as you go on (maybe). Anyway, not for everyone.
The concept of correctness by proof, rather than by spraying tests at the code and hoping, is a shift of perspective, but it doesn't have to be brutally hard and doesn't require going all the way to direct application of formal methods (which is often impractical). I encourage people to go partway in the right direction. Instead of telling me your test coverage, tell me how you can prove that the core algorithm of your product is correct. Or how you can prove that it is secure. This kind of thinking is the only thing I've ever seen lead to quality code.
