Well, I have to say:

(1) This looks interesting. I had no idea any of this existed.

(2) For the level of awesome, this is the worst-documented ecosystem I've stepped into in a long while. I hope some random user volunteers to make really nice documentation at some point. This could go from awesome to a lot awesomer.

The best courses I took in Computer Science (3 years ago) were:

- Computer Systems: Building a computer system from scratch (virtually) logic gates to applications https://www.nand2tetris.org/book

- Computer Networks and Applications: An overview of network protocols and layers, basically how the internet works.

- Event-Driven Computing: How to make GUI's, state-machines, event-driven systems are used everywhere.

- Computer Graphics: Understanding how graphics pipelines and OpenGL shaders work. Building a game from scratch in C.

They might not be interesting to everyone, but I felt these were the most fun and practical in learning how computers work and how to build software.
Gitea seems much faster. There are plenty of CI platforms that integrate nicely into Git as well without all the bloat.
Why does that demonstrate it's foolish? I think the only thing it demonstrates objectively is that Google's business listings restrictions don't satisfy 100% of people, but there is no configuration of this service that would please 100% of people, including the configuration where there are no restrictions at all. This is a useful service because it organizes data, and enforces some data quality restrictions (no duplicates, no keyword-stuffing), not in spite of it.

This doesn't prove that people are having to contort themselves for software any more than that would be proved by Amazon not letting me list a ceiling fan in the video games category.
> “Tear gas is considered a riot control agent because the effects dissipate a short time after exposure,’’ said Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association. “But even though the effects of tear gas wear off, its symptoms are harsh and terrifying, including severe eye irritations and difficulty breathing.

> “The United States may justify firing tear gas [...] as legal, but the decision to use an indiscriminate, psychologically terrifying toxic chemical was excessive and certainly immoral."

Computer Science is about writing software in the way that Astronomy is about telescopes.

Another way to put it is that Computer Science is a Mathematics field that is about the study of computation. You can do significant amounts of computation without a computer, and you can study pretty much every topic about computation with nothing more than a pencil and paper.

Programming is simply a convenient way to use these great devices we have to assist us in better understanding computation, and a good CS program will go very deep in how modern computers work, what they can and cannot compute, and so on. You'll likely have changes to study computational complexity, queuing theory, grammars and regular languages, and so on.

For all this you need a really strong foundation in mathematics. For an undergrad, you should be able to handle just about anything in single and multi-variate Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, and be able to build proofs and if you really want to push as an undergrad more advanced classes. If you can't hang with this coursework, you can't do CS.

It's okay, you might be better suited to a Software Engineering degree or and Information Systems degree where programming and engineering practices are favored. To be honest, these degrees are far more practical for the regular old software developer than is CS. Most programming jobs aren't trying to invent an algorithm, or determine the runtime efficiency of some system.

I remember reading somewhere where an author realized all that lint they collected from their dryer was a result of their clothes literally falling apart fiber by fiber. In other words all the mass of the lint didn't just spontaneously form breaking some conservation of mass law but came from the clothes shedding and abrading against each other.
Just had a look at my default xterm width. My 'open an xterm' script defines an xterm with 115 characters wide and 58 lines high.

I have several programs that request the standard 80x25 window, and find those almost too annoyingly constrictive to be useful.

Even the 115 character lines are often too narrow which then entails an expansion to about 140.

I have two issues with this article:

1. The author uses Zapier as an example of how to "make up" for CoL salary adjustments. However, Glassdoor tells me that Zapier pays WAY under market compared to FAANG and others. They also have a high recruiting bar, which tells me that they are good at getting their engineers on the cheap.

2. Facebook will still likely pay higher to much higher than the local market since they use RSUs as the bulk of their total comp.
Kton Explosion over Bering Sea Was Asteroid Breaking Up. Hardly Anybody Noticed
Unless I am not understanding something, this appears to have multiple incorrect statements in it, for instance:

> It first identifies the k points in the training data that are closest to the test value and calculates the distance between all those categories. The test value will belong to the category whose distance is the least.

There is no distance measure in deciding a category. The distance measure is used to find the N nearest neighbors. Once those neighbors are found, the class of the new data point is assigned based on the relative number of entities of each class in the N neighbor set (always taken as the most common class in the neighbor set, as far as I am aware).
Did Flux really bring one way data flow? Because that's a pretty essential part of React. Even if React adopted it later, it's a core part of React's appeal.

Do you legitimately see no difference in websites from 2012 and 2020? I'm honestly baffled if that's true. Payments are a massive difference that I've noticed. Every decent ecommerce site these days uses quite a lot of slick tricks to make the purchase flow really easy. Whether it's autocomplete based on Google Maps address data or being able to do everything without any obvious page refreshes, payments are significantly slicker. React definitely facilitates this.

> There is no 'round trip' for server render

Uhh there is a round trip. You click on a link, the new page does a request, loads new HTML, new CSS and paints the new page. Sure, an SPA takes longer to load up front, but you can now ensure that everything past that point is seamless. On a site like Facebook where the initial load won't kill conversions (because people are already addicted), you can take a 500ms hit so that stuff like infinite scroll and seamless notifications keep people on the site.
The problem with that is that impacts those who may have no influence on the situation (retirees receiving benefits from the pension plan).

Alternatively, you could require insurance, similar to medical malpractice insurance, that pays out for law enforcement malfeasance. If you’re uninsurable due to your actions (egregious and/or chronic), you’re no longer a cop. The cost to your colleagues (premiums) also goes up because of your behavior.

This takes the financial burden off taxpayers, but still uses economic incentives to encourage the behavior we expect from public servants.

A lot of people justifying not paying for news by saying that they don't like ads.

Question then: do you never read the news? Because if you do, you are consuming the product. So clearly, you are not against the ads. You just don't want to pay for it (even though the median income on HN is high enough that it would be a rounding error for most).
It looks like this is more like "k3s up" to bootstrap k3s, which I just learned is purportedly a lightweight Kubernetes [1]. They named it K3s because:

> We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms of memory footprint. Kubernetes is a 10-letter word stylized as K8s. So something half as big as Kubernetes would be a 5-letter word stylized as K3s. There is no long form of K3s and no official pronunciation.

A bit of commentary on age discrimination in IT.

Of course, it exists. If you are over 40 and go on an interview where the interviewer is a 20 something kid you know what I mean.

My approach to age discrimination can be summed up this way.

Screw them. I have more experience and knowledge in the field than 99% of the people working in it, especially the managers. And I project that in an interview. I don't give a crap what they think of my age and I make sure they know that. I have what they need and they would be better off recognizing that.

Does that attitude work every time? Of course not. But I will be dammed if I will be submissive and put up with age discrimination. To hell with them. If they don't give me a job, some with better sense will.

The key is NEVER GIVE UP.
You can continue that and pay for the publications. Those two work together.
Traditional art and architecture never went away. Some people have continued to follow traditional styles in every form of art, regardless of what the current vogue is. Sometimes people’s estimation of the impact of modernism is very distorted, as when some claim that classical music in the 20th century became all dissonance and ugliness, but if you actually add up composers around the world in the 20th century, you find that most of them were writing traditional tonal music, and modernists were a minority that in many places could hardly get any performances.

Usually organizations that call for a "return to traditional art" are ostensibly simply seeking to boost the visibility of traditional styles. But if you engage with those organizations’ ideologues, it often doesn't take long for the mask to come off, and for the person to admit that he/she wishes for non-traditional art to disappear entirely. That seems very rude to that set of people out there (however small or large) who do enjoy avant-garde or modernist art, and who feel their lives would be poorer without it.
> This is assuming that you are not doing anything illegal.

Unfortunately, you are rarely the one who decides what is legal and what is not. I remember Edward Snowden mentioning this in some AMA on Reddit as one of the reasons why for a society it's a bad idea to strive for zero crime rates: After all, this most likely means that it's impossible to commit a crime and, thus, rebel against or, if need be, even overthrow the system.

Light from the sun -> sharp shadows.
Light from Earth -> blurry shadows.

That's because the sun is almost a 'point' light source because it's far away, and Earth is 'area' light source because it's close by. Also it depends how far the shadow source is from the shadow target.

That guy is legit.
You could add those same DRMs to a USB-C connection and 'manufacturer required' power supply.

Barrel connectors are not proprietary just because someone implemented theirs in some specific way to harm consumers.

In fact USB-C connectors are more likely to implement a DRM, given that the connector comes 'batteries-included' with a data channel that won't need to be re-imagined.

Barrel jacks offer no such boot-straps to would-be DRMers. That isn't to say it's impossible (as HP/Dell/Fujitsu have proven), but a 2 prong barrel jack is going to require a bit more effort.

If you are using proprietary to mean 'consumer-hostile', use a better phrase. Proprietary has specific context to IP/copyright/design.
Wow, that guy is lucky he didn't accidently flag a cop with his bow; they would have beat him with truncheons, pepper sprayed him, then killed him with a blood choke!
This is very cool, well done!

I wonder how far we are away from the following:

1. Being able to use a GAN to be able to give a synth an input sound (i.e. a reece sound from a dnb track) and have it generate a patch that matches it.

2. Being able to do 1 but apply it to a whole Ableton project. The interesting thing about Ableton is that they're actually XML files under the covers.

Even if you couldn't get close, it would be fascinating to see how an AI would design synth patches for subtractive synths.
Notably, there are a crapload of software synths emulating DX7—as exemplified by the two mentioned on the page—and at least some of them accept patches in its native format, so apparently there's an ‘ecosystem’ of sorts of these patches floating around.
Those are all classes I think I'd find very interesting. Recently I've tried to naively write my own game engine and OS and failed pretty miserably.
I don't get it. If I check for a password I used before, presumably I want to keep using it if it's safe. Otherwise what's the point?
In this pattern of cases, the system is the perpetrator of extra-judicial violence. We've had plenty of time for the system to correct itself, and it hasn't. Now a precinct gets burned down, a cop gets charges the next day, and I'm like, okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that seemed to work. It's not about revenge, it's about fixing the system by any means necessary. Fire works, protest signs haven't been.
People like us are tempted to take intro classes on pure ego. It doesn’t get you as far as you think. Rule of thumb: study for two hours per credit-hour in class.
My brain works fine. My body - not so much. I tire more easily than I did 20 years ago but so what. I get up at 4:30 AM every day and work at something until about 8 PM and then am in bed by 8:30.

The absolute worst thing you can do is retire. That is the beginning of the end. I will work until they plant me.
We used it for “hard realtime” embedded system didn’t even use virtual memory. Used to have pretty archaic toolchain (diab and some clunky eclipse setup). The os itself seemed pretty meh too (we had license and hence all the sources). Not sure how you would even get to try it without some trial agreement with their rep? Maybe try Qnx instead? It implements Posix so at least you’ll have easier time moving to linux. Also hard realtime and actually is a micro kernel arch which is nice
The idiom that I mentioned is still true, whether you discuss circumstantial or direct evidence. Lack of Evidence isn't Evidence of Lack.

Presumably nothing! But I imagine it was might have been impractical, given lockstep method is kind of predicated on "Do it because you can't afford to only compute and transmit from a central node."

In the era it was used, server chips weren't really a thing. So it was really just "the current decent CPU."
I have the same theory, I noticed some intuitiveness when dealing when troubleshooting any kind of issue and even if I can explain ex-facto the rationality behind some approaches, I struggle to explain why I made that decision in the heat of the moment.

I noticed the same struggle when I talk to more extroverted people abouth the problems when approaching people.
I only have weakly held opinions and many questions to understand better.

I believe you are the one to avoid conversing with, to go so far as to make this comment I am replying to.

Is the view that much better that from your moral pedestal?

The point is to get you to think with a more open mind. Sometimes that takes ruffling a few feathers. I mean you no ill will. It is quite the opposite, if you learn to love without prejudice. This is a very difficult thing that few ever master. I am most definitely not among those who have.

You will feel differently and better in time though. How long depends on your reaction, because that is all we can do, react. I cannot make you angry, only you can.

This is not victim blaming, this is straight from the Dali Llama's mouth. I experience emotions, and later visit them without attachment and letting them control my condition again. I am a much happier person when I do this well, regardless of the original emotion, and equal treatment for both good and bad emotions. Getting overly enthusiastic is as bad as depression.

Again, the only person you can ever hope to control is yourself.
Definitely not normal.
I wish the site contained more than just the video recordings and presented further information like time & date / location / background story / names / official police report / related news reports etc.

Right now I could simply dress up as police officer and stage such a video. I'm not at all saying this is happening, I'm just saying it'd be possible to do that. With fake news as well claims of things being fake news being very common these days, we should all be a bit more careful and thorough.
I think that is the idea. If people can be convicted for breaking laws they don't know about, then cops can be convicted for enforcing laws that don't exist.
FYI, some municipalities have democratically driven regulations; this seems like a much better course if you’re not trying to make a homogenous neighborhood.
Functions can be given semantic names (I.e. have meaning); block statements cannot.

If writing a function that can take an array or slice of any type of data requires providing a generic argument (I.e. so you can specify that the function returns a slice of the same type of data as it was given), then you can name it "reverse" if it reverses the array, write it only once, and every timr you use it, you read "reverse" and know what it does.

For loops dont have those names, and so have to be rewritten every time you use them. As such, every time you see a for loop, you have to read and parse every statement to see what it is doing, and if it has any unexpected side effects or bugs introduced via copy-paste or what not.

The concept of egalitarian isn't really tied to pay, except maybe as equal pay for equal work, at least within the same "all else being equal" framework. Egalitarian definition: relating to or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.
A lot of people agree with you. He had an exhibit in central park a while ago and most people I knew thought it was a pure waste of time and resources. Only a few who were in art school at the time cared about it. They even volunteered to help build it.

Since then, I haven't heard another mention of christo, the central park exhibit or anything related to that by anyone. So makes me wonder what the point of it was. But if it made some happy then so be it.
Accessible to nation state actors, and order-able off Alibaba, are 2 different levels of "available.

You would be surprised, that most acts of aggression do not have months of planning and 1M+ engineering budgets. Remember the most "special" tooling the 9/11 terrorists had was some cash plus basic flight training.
But once you all agree on your demands, methods and victims it's no longer mayhem, just organized terrorism.

If they don't get convicted, will you be terrorizing only the jury, or do you plan on victimizing other innocent people too?

I sure hope you don't, but if you do get your wish please remember to have everyone print and sign their names on the petition/ransom note/demand letter. When choosing targets for arson just be aware it will take longer to comply if you burn down the courthouse(s).
