What exactly is the UNIX philosophy?

As far as I can see, it's roughly "Data structures are hard, so let's pretend everything is ACSII text. Now we can use a really difficult systems programming language (C) to build functions with weird calling conventions ("tools") and glue them together with an awful scripting language (sh)."

'awk' fits into this framework awkwardly. It implements a restricted pattern (go line-by-line, match actions to lines), it doesn't want to be a full programming language, even though it really is.

But 'perl' is a programming language, and it wants to be one. Once you have 'perl', what is the point of using a reasonable scripting language (perl) to build functions with weird calling conventions and gluing them together with an awful scripting language? You're better off writing functions(!) with normal calling conventions (a library) and gluing them together using the good scripting language.

That logic taken taken to its conclusion replaces the shell with a clean language, encourages libraries instead of "tools", and embeds the 'awk' pattern into said language instead of relegating it to an incomplete secondary scripting language. In one word: 'scsh'.
Apparently that camera is compatible with v4l2 ("video for Linux 2") so it should work just fine on the RPi 4 provided you have the right cable. Here's a thread where some people discuss using it and similar cameras on the ODroid (which would use the same Linux subsystem): https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=6259

> Wages paid are deductible business expenses already.

Up to how much? I can't imagine wages paid are 100% deductible. Otherwise nothing's stopping people from starting businesses and paying wages to friends to reduce tax burdens...
Early nhost user here! Elitan's platform is a great way to get started quickly with Hasura, and he was also fantastic with helping me out on some then-undocumented components. Always grateful when a developer takes time to do a 1:1 call.

Thanks again!
First let me say HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now that I have that out of the way...

don't sell them on version control, they obviously don't care. Sell them on oversite in project management tools that are coupled with the code versioning system. Then bate n' switch them.
Oh that's right, I meant post-millennials, who got a fresh start in MM.
Very much appreciate the comment. The sequencing is done at a lab in Maryland.
I was being somewhat tongue in cheek. I’m not actually saying that “expensive food” should be a goal.

I was simply trying to point out that it’s ridiculous to complain about food waste without doing anything to change a system that incentivises massive overproduction.
In the 1970s, NYC Dabbled in Carpeted Subway Trains
“It can be rented long term at a cost of €19.99 (including VAT) per month with an initial payment of €2,644 (including VAT). The Ami can be rented through a car-sharing service for up to a day at a rate of €0.26 per min...”

Looks like it costs €2,644 initial payment + €19.99 a month.
Somehow missed by Project Zero.
> Building a large list of potential suspects and/or getting some direction for further study based on a face match sounds very useful, but sending a swat team to someone's house and ruining their lives based on a terrible match on a crappy picture is a whole other side of the scale.

How do we know they were inputting pictures of suspects?

Could have inputted people they have a beef with, ex-girlfriends/boyfriends, ex-spouses, online dating profiles, annoying non-criminal activists, citizens/politicians that threaten police budgets, etc.
Some people can't sacrifice food they like to avoid their own personal suffering.
Clearview encouraged customers and potential customers to abuse their access. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/clearview-ai-co... "Clearview has also previously instructed police to act in direct violation of the company's code of conduct, which was outlined in a blog post on Monday."
> Are there any examples so far around gross mis-use of this data?

To flip the question: how many databases like this haven't been abused?

When a corporation or government claims new powers over citizens/customers, the burden of proof falls on them to show how they can't/won't abuse it, rather than on the little people to show that it's been abused.
If that's the case, make sure you make the coffee / drinks / etc for as many decision makers as possible so they get the gunk from the glass.
https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

That's Reddit's content policy, and it's not precise at all. Pretty much anything can be deemed to fall under "threatens, harasses, or bullies" if it speaks against any group or opinion whatsoever. And the enforcement has been entirely selective and biased, targeting conservative subreddits and supporters, while "eat the rich" type posts are celebrated.

Right, Reddit is a private platform and can choose to host or not any content it wants. I don't think anyone is disputing that. We can still wish Reddit would choose to act in favor of free speech and openness rather than choosing to deplatform opinions that fall on the unpopular side.
Why is it so expensive? Is there required courses? I can understand that in cities, a DL might not be a huge deal but I can't imagine that rural France would be happy with that.
Does it run under OpenGL 2.1? My laptop is a bit... obsolete.
I doubt it's not classified as a motor vehicle - it's just not classified as a car, but a light quadricycle (L6e).

Similar ICE-powered vehicles are rather popular with younger folks and some of the elderly, at least in countries where a full license is only available at 18. These vehicles are not without drawbacks, though, as they have poor crashworthiness (even in the kind of accidents they may very well get to).
Yes.

you should avoid the r/coronavirus subreddit, a pro-china mod has taken over and is actively suppressing China-related news and signal-boosting news on other countries. The head mod recently started an AMA with the stated purpose of banning "troublemakers". It's effectively a pro-china messaging operation at this point.

China is very worried about this, it represents a potentially existential threat to CCP's political control of the country. That's why they were jailing doctors who reported the outbreak and so on. Maintaining media control of the narrative is important and in 2020 that of course includes social media like Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannedfromcoronavirus/comments/f3uv...

Or, read it if you want, but be aware that it's going to be downplaying the China situation and playing up the situation in other countries to make China look better. Treat it like reading RT or something.

(and on a more general note, Reddit's system for choosing moderation is terrible. They just give control to whoever is first to register some obvious brand-name or whatever, and there's really no system to appeal it, unless you want to try and start your own subreddit using some different name. And like domain names, there's really only so many reasonable permutations of a given name.)
If you have a breaking change in a new version of the code with lots of changes, or don't discover the break until several revisions later, git can help find the responsible code with git bisect.

The idea is to manage and track change to your code base so that you can answer questions about the code base efficiently when there are problems.
We're trying to raise structured behavioral information about what is happening in a session to the cluster administrator.

That means we don't just provide information about what's executing, but also what files are being opened and TCP connections being established. Other avenues of expansion you may see this feature venture into: how were files changed, support for other protocols, support for other events (bind, listen, accept).

However we are not claiming this approach is not subvertable, but we do want to raise the bar for attackers and make it easier for cluster administrators to understand what is happening within their system.

Ok, we've added €2,644 to the cost above.
That's rather inexpensive. I think in Germany you'll have to pay at least 1500 € nowadays.
the purpose of a metal straw is not to be used once then thrown away. sure, if people began throwing away their metal straws after a single use it would be as bad as plastic straws, but that's not why people use metal straws.
You're absolutely right. There are also plenty of streets I wouldn't want to ride my motorbike down or drive a semi truck.

In fact, even the F-150 is virtually impossible to drive on tiny streets.

Vehicles all have different uses. This is very cheap, and while it's not ideal for every possible use-case it certainly will be very good at others.
I disagree in that it sounds like the OP's organization is staffing to the limitations of their technology. It reminds me of working in subversion where people would never collaborate for fear of commit collisions. This super bad from a knowledge perspective in that people don't cross train and instead become reclusive experts that they use to justify their existence and continued value.

For me, personally, the biggest win of git is ease of branching allowing for rapid and easily disposable experimentation in the source code.
Ask HK: What are the benefits of listening to alpha waves?
Hi HN! It's my first post here so please let me know if this has already been discussed before.

I sometimes listen to alpha waves (via Spotify) while working as I find it helps me focus. I have a pretty short attention span so tend to stick to something if it helps. Similarly, things like Gregorian chants and other simple, ambient sounds garner the same effect.

My question is, are there any benefits to listening to alpha waves beyond aiding productivity?

Thanks!

I like the concept. I don’t really like that a lot of EVs are moving in the direction of bigger , heavier and more power. For cities these super small cars are the future hopefully and not 2 ton tanks.
I can confirm that this dataset is indeed part of the AWS Public Dataset Program. We were finalizing some details, but this dataset is now listed in the Registry of Open Data:

I'm running a full production algorithmic trading platform, and our frontend interactions are handled by Hasura. For me, the appeal was in writing all the business logic as Postgresql triggers, which (provided they're written as true SQL and not plpgsql), scale beautifully with load. Hasura has a real appeal when you're keen to do your important logic in SQL.

Coronavirus Exposed America's Heavy Reliance on China for Medicines
why on earth was this downvoted? did I incorrectly report something? I'm actually confused. was the observation that the case represents a sample of a complicated and interesting legal landscape in the United States of America incorrect, insulting, or what?

This more like a two person Sinclair C5 with a roof than an actual car. It won't be allowed to go on the highway and you may have to ride it on bike paths in some countries next to national roads between towns, which is a real nuisance for the people on actual bicycles.
It was a long time ago. I was advertising on Adwords and my ad was getting hit every few seconds. Whomever it was would go to the linked page from the ad and hit a few more pages within just a few seconds and then leave without spending enough time to even see those pages. The clicks were coming from more than just one IP address but it was same thing from all of them.

I suspected it was a competitor paying some bogus group or bot network to run up my clicks and asked Google to look into it. They asked for my log files, which I sent them, but then told me "no problem found".

It cost me several thousand dollars before I realized what was going on. I shut the ad down for a few months and then turned it back on but the same thing happened again right away. I tried again to get them to look into it but got the same response. I refused to pay for those ads and they buried my site in their rankings afterwards.
This category of vehicles has existed for ages in France. This one won't change the law.
God, I hope so.... that would be hilarious.
The problem I think will be how it will fit in the streets. Bicycles that are slower than regular traffic are easy to overtake. But this probably not as easy. At the same time, I would not want to share bicycle lanes with this vehicle if I am cycling.
1. You can predict multiple values, but it still has to be trained on target values for those features. So, you could predict "D", "P", and "Z", but not any at random - you'd have to design it that way. Look into "multidimensional regression"

2. That seems logical -- supplying a "confidence level" with the training data itself -- but I haven't heard of it, and can't seem to find anything on the search engines.
In most cases I've seen, the model lives on its own, with only very surface-level connections with your system. It can't "look up" stuff it needs, such as the query you mention.

There are graph-based systems but I think they're more interested in understanding relationships in the graph itself - grouping like things together, predicting relationships and distances, etc., rather than attributes of the nodes.

I assume you want the system to learn something like "if parent A is type O, and grandparent of parent B is B+, child is more likely to be tall" or similar. I don't think the network can learn things like that in terms of understanding the linkages to predict numbers. It might be able to predict it simply by being given enough examples after "flattening," though, so the functional result is similar.

I've found Reddit's MLQuestions [0] group to be interesting and sometimes accessible for a non-academic ML enthusiast. Some Youtube content can be useful too, but most are just repeating the content of papers. I'm still seeking a real commoner-level message board to discuss this kind of stuff without dumbshaming.

What I've learned most from is downloading example code and actually using it, reading parts of it, and trying to apply it. It's easy to dip your toes into stuff on Google Colab notebooks.

Uber Ludwig [2] is an interesting all-in-one low-code system that lets you try out different ideas quickly. At least in theory. They give an example cases for all the different types of networks they support along with matching YAML to specify the model details. So you can sorta just throw some data in there and build a command line to try ideas, rather than learning a lot about Pytorch, Keras, etc., and potentially introducing subtle bugs.

Not if the browser has been specifically given the cert. It is typical on corporate networks send all HTTP traffic to a router that acts on behalf of the outside world. If your browser (and browsers these days relying on OS installed certs) has a cert validating the router, it will be legitimate: you have a valid cert for the router you're talking to.

The trick is to use a piece of software that doesn't use your system's certs but has it's own built in, like run Linux in a VM and use that browser. That way, you'll see the MitM attack.
Take the precautions either way.

Because they actually want their drivers to be reasonably good. What goes for a driving exam in some countries is not up to standards in others. 50-60 hours of instruction isn't rare at all where I live.
I would say all Europe has the same concept, or at least France, Spain and Italy for sure. For gasoline vehicles they just need to be less then 50cc and max speed less then 50km/h. They've been existing for years.

It's quite possible I've missed some crucial piece of information about why this wouldn't work. So far though, I've seen no reasonable explanation as to why we need specially approved kits at this point. These are standard reagents and standard techniques; the lack of widespread rapid testing in the US is bureaucratic in nature, not technical.
prison isn't designed for reintegrating back into society!

If you look at this recent paper[1] by the lancet on "The psychological impact of quarantine and how to reduce it: rapid review of the evidence" (coincidentally it's about the corona virus) then you might notice that the effects of isolation are exactly what prisons are designed to do[2]. For quarantines it's a huge dilemma ofc.

Do you use store bought lard or do you render it yourself? I picked up store bought lard one time and felt it was as bland as Crisco.

That is not in fact what I'm doing. Refusing to serve, say, black people is illegal because of the pernicious societal harm caused by discrimination. A web site refusing to run ads against some corporation's videos does not have that track record of harm.
Social Engineering for Intrusion Testing
OSCP has too high of a fail rate to only demonstrate very basic skills, it's a bit more than that (if so, that puts CISSP, CEH, etc. way futher down yet you see those as job requirements all the time). There are plenty of people without it and employed still doing pentesting. This was my reality, I don't know how actually going through that situation qualifies it as anything but reality.

This is another thing: people value those certs really differently and it's almost worth not doing them at all, again going back to: just learn to code. And to your point: more communicating badly.

There's not a single more valuable qualifier than experience and yet that's the hardest thing to get when it really shouldn't be. Med students assist with surgeries but they aren't put in charge, I don't see why pentesting can't be the same.

I think you've taken the rare, good, working parts of the industry and believe that to be a baseline, and I don't think it's realistic.

you are looking at a primary sequence-

there are structural conformations that are not indicated-

you must exploit a biological system that will create a functional virion-

before you do that , if you understand genodynamics of the sequence you can start making good guesses about where to change the sequence in what way-

this can be because you want attenuation of the virus with an extreme degree of control-

this is how you make a recombinant product that is not as damaging to the host and produces a strong antigenic signal to the immune system this means you have a vaccine-

of course this is also a dualpotential technology so it could be used for evil and weaponized, so we want to have some inspection regarding who has these opportunities
