skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
It's basically a similar problem to Github's arbitrary filetype web preview notion. If you can preview the repo state visually, you can animate it over time. The issue is that n-dimensional datasets (including PCB traces) do not have a standard 2D visualisation, which requires tradeoffs, which means one size does not fit all, which means hassle factor works against mass uptake.
I got nerd sniped on a chan board one time by a fork bomb that looked like this:

eval $(echo "I<RA('1E<W3t`rYWdl&r()(Y29j&r{,3Rl7Ig}&r{,T31wo});r`26<F]F;==" | uudecode)

Classic stuff. So I'll just remove the eval and subshell and let echo through to uudecode so I can see what this mess will do.. aaaaaaaand there goes my system.

I'd neglected to see the backquoted strings in the mess. This one had some layers!

We can get more transistors by going 3D, but what about the heat? The real tragedy has been the degradation (although not yet death) in Dennard Scaling.

And even then Landauer's limit will begin to rear it's head around 10,000-100,000X lower power. Reversible computing is an option, but does not cover I/O and will furthermore set us back in performance and transistor efficiency.
I think leftism has a particular appeal for culture types because it's traditionally been the case (until 1980 or so) that capitalism didn't really have much of a place for culture - which was traditionally a poor product, and the better it was as culture, the worse it sold.

There's also the traditional aristocratic looking-down-upon-the-bourgeois for their grubby and banal mindsets, which has got sort of subsumed into leftism because there aren't many aristocrats left. Adorno is a kind of good exposition of this sort of thing.

Lastly, it's very traditional. The French revolution, at least in the early stages, was basically bankrolled and sheltered by L Phillipe de Orlean, the first prince of the blood.
And this is also likely very illegal...

I don't agree with this at all - 'delaying the inevitable' is 90% of security; it's the basic assumption when practicing defense in depth.

You scan for and patch known vulnerabilities, and assume that some unknown ones still remain. You deploy WAF to block some of the unknowns or at least make them harder to exploit. You harden the host and segregate the network to make it harder for the attacker to move laterally when they manage to exploit something anyway. You use SIEM or just regular log review to hopefully catch attackers that have been delayed by your defensive measures.

Putting your service on a non-default port is a perfectly valid measure as part of a larger defensive strategy. It has its pros and cons, you've got to be aware of what threats it mitigates and what it doesn't, but it can be useful.

- Script is done and takes around 30 seconds to run

- Boss neglected to tell me script was schedule to run once a minute

- As load increased, script started to take more than 60 seconds to run

- Since we are running script every 60 seconds, we start having multiple copies of the script

- Server goes down

> You can pick any modern best of breed tool, and I can point in history when that tool had to be snuck in to prove itself and gain acceptance.

I don't like the idea of "snuck in".

Working with management and having buy in that there's going to be a risk involved in taking something up that's new and unknown is OK.

That way we have a plan and action in place if things go other than expected.

That is exactly why I left a BIG5 firm and now work at startups because I can run these by the CEO and have a discussion.

The place where I work does not exist for my amusement.

Many people's livelihood including those of close friends and their families depend on the decisions I make.

If I am at a VC funded startup I am playing with the retirement of millions of people.

I owe it to them to be in the know of any risky decisions I take that I judge to be risky enough to affect them negatively.

Anything that's new and relatively unknown is risky.

That does not mean we don't try it.

It does mean we need to have a plan and action in place if things go other than expected.

Thats just good engineering and business because people depend on me.

Otherwise it's just a hobby and pastime.
You don't necessarily need to know someone personally to feel a sense of loss. You can feel a "bond" with with someone based on all sorts of things: being members of a common community, sharing a common occupation, etc., etc.

To illustrate one case that hits close to home for me... when I think about the 343 firefighters who were killed on 9/11, I find it difficult not to tear up at times. Even though I never met any of them, and couldn't tell you any of their names. But we shared a common bond, by virtue of being firefighters. My sense of loss at their death is rooted in how deeply I admire all of them for the bravery and courage they displayed on that day, putting their lives on the line in the name of saving others. Do I feel that as strongly as if I had been the literal biological sibling of one them? Possibly not, but they were still my brothers, and the sense of loss is still real.
If you can't grasp the difference between 'casual sex hookups' and 'dating' then I'm sorry for you, there's no point in my commenting on that.

As for the app, I agree, it doesn't seem to be poignantly focused on 'casual sex' rather, it's directly focused on 'open relationships' - which is definitely different, but an often overlapping category.

For a regular corporate policy, it's basically 'right on the line', but it's definitely within the rights of Facebook or any company with a very large audience to not have this included.

Facebook has a global audience, and the vast majority of people in the world are not going to go for something like this, and probably a plurality of people within the Western World.

FYI the app Apple dumped was 'Seeking' (Sugar Daddy) and I'm not aware if it's a scam or not, but it surely lies within the same category of 'consent, but something many people would find somewhere in the range of offensive'.

If the FCC or some agency were taking down their web-site, I would be up in arms, that would be a huge line crossed, but apparently this crosses FB's specific guidelines (and probably those of many others) for ads, which is very well within reason.

So, you can do almost what you like 'in the world' (i.e. the net), but on private domains, the rules are going to be more specific, welcome to reality.

Yes. I discovered Montgomery Multiplication from the book Hacker's Delight. Potentially very useful for me.

Yesterday I looked at the wiki page for that, followed the link to Peter Montgomery's wiki page, and thought I'd send him a little thank-you just for that (I had no idea of his crypto work, none at all). Then I noticed he had died that very day, yesterday, Feb 18th 2020, age 72. I wish I'd just been able to send him that little thank-you. I missed that window by a few hours.

That's correct, and exhaustively enumerating derived classes at compile-time is usually a bad design either via RTTI type-switching or pattern matching (which is really just syntactic sugar for the former). It prevents for example having derived types injected at run-time in a plugin setting.
Explicitly matching a subset of well-known derived types otoh is a practical compromise in many cases.
That would be interesting!

And that third gives Trump something like a 90% approval rating. My base assumption is that in order to win them over, you'd have to significantly match up with their world view. A significant part of their world view seems to be that "Democrat = bad" so that's kind of a non-starter, and I'm not sure I'd want someone elected who has compromised their platform, morals, principles, etc enough to be liked by people who still support Trump.
I think Google might have better ways to track people. Fonts are also cached by CDNs and the local browser so I’m not sure if they provide good tracking data (they get loaded only for the first page visit for example and popular fonts like Open Sans are probably already in your cache when you open a page).

If you’re concerned about tracking as a website operator you can simply load the fonts from your own server, most of them can be found on Github and have liberal licenses (I think all fonts on fonts.google.com)

It's a matter of degree, and you aren't only concerned with the engines. Aircraft frequently pump fuel around to other tanks for trim purposes. Debris that can manage to get passed filters into the pumps/lines can cause premature pump failure. Lose too many, and you have a plane out of service.

Given that most MTBF are calculated assuming the absence of debris except that which may come in with the fuel, there is really no excuse for not cleaning out your tanks.
It's not on you exclusively, but, as a consumer, you have purchasing power. If you don't like the coffee your local shop serves you, you stop going there, right?

Only Assange knows where he got the data. Why is it so easy for you to trust entities that were not involved in the leak so easily, yet disregard Assange's own agency over knowing/understanding where he got the data?

Is it because you maybe just don't like Assange as a person?

I mean, not vetting documents is one thing. But, actively engaging in election interference all over the world is another thing. Assange did the former - your beloved intelligence agency, are currently doing the latter. Its reasonable to assume that US Intelligence agencies are lying, utterly, to give themselves yet more budget for nefarious deeds - i.e. the "Ma' Russkies" narrative, which serves only to foment more hatred...

What? The specifications document what browsers already do. Have you seen the HTML5 spec? It's mostly formalization of error-recovery, showing how to interpret previously technically-broken documents in the way modern browsers have converged on. It's not what anyone would design, but there's no one driving.

Trump wanted to tack hard away from the center and to tear down the Republican establishment and rebuild it with a more populist vision. Bloomberg is running to stop the Democrats from tacking away from the center and to 'protect' the party from those threatening to tear it down and rebuild it with a more populist image.

Trump ran as an outsider populist, Bloomberg as an insider technocrat.
Bloomberg was elected two times as mayor on the Republican ticket. Trump was never elected as a Democrat.

Not really. So far the biggest fundraiser in the Democratic primary has been Bernie Sanders and he has raised most of his money from small money donors.

So it's absolutely possible to raise money without using one's own money or taking bribes.

And even if a candidate raises money from a 100 billionaires, that's better than one billionaire. The more people you raise money from the more likely it is that those people have conflicts with one another that can then balance one another out.

A single billionaire financing their own campaign is just too much centralized power for my tastes, even if I trust that billionaire and generally like his policies.

Power corrupts.

Most banking systems are cobbled together from third-party components and libraries. Low-level languages aren't really needed. Many banks use Python, which is orders of magnitude slower than Haskell.

Actually I have a background in distributed computing, where functional programming abstractions have made processing large amounts of data much easier (MapReduce, Spark).

This is a strawman. I can write inefficient code in any language. C++ code can be littered with pointer indirection and memory barriers.

There is a HUGE difference:

- not all sites use CDN, even if using the same font

- not all sites use the same CDN

- users clear the cache (clearing history does that on firefox)

- incognito mode is a thing

- first load matters a lot

- browser have a limit of the disk space they use for cache, and they evict older entries when they reach it. Given sites are now bloated, this fills up fast.

- this repeats for each browser. I have 5 on my laptop, 3 on my mobile, 2 on my tablet.
Ok but I'm saying even with these rules wealthy people will have an advantage in many ways.

I'll chime in as I was previously an "air frame structure tech". Basically I did everything on the airplane other than mess with engines or electronics. Worked on the Navy P3 Orion fleet (remove and replace wings), the Airforce C-17 fleet (worked various tech bulletins as well as air frame inspection checks), and a brief stent on the the 747 'Sofia' project (cut a really giant hole for a telescope)

Anyway, I was most intimate with the P-3 orion fuel tanks (which is the entire wing) as we regularly pulled the wings on those planes, replaced various spars, ribs, etc and then reinstalled the wings. Then we'd have to fill the entire wings up with the 'anti explosion foam' which is in several hundred cube shapes, all with painted on numbers (yes they all go back in order), ranging from 6" to 18" in size. After that was done, plane was refueled and tested. Normally after a few weeks of checks, the fuel filters and intake strainers would be checked. They commonly had rags in them, but always had tons of metal shavings and wads of human hair (probably hair from your legs).

So yes, 'FOD' is always in the tanks after any construction or maintenance. There would be no tools in the tanks as normally your employee number or social security number was etched on everything you owned.
heh, yes. Admittedly, immediately after posting, I did change it from 'rm', which would not be a good idea to run, to 'sl', which ... well, try it (or `man sl`), it's fun.
What is healthy, is that an American spent his money how he liked, the American media is free enough to have reported on it, American citizens are now well-informed enough to know that some of the folks they talk to online are paid, and the American election will be based on the interactions of a free people.

He's not purchasing anything - as long as Americans care enough to be informed, he's blowing hot air that no one will believe.
