Do nerds or hackers bake sourdough regularly?
I enjoyed a thread about how hacker and nerdy cooks [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8356489]. For me as developer and designer, cooking and baking it is therapeutic.

Here I shot and edited a short video about Feeding a sourdough starter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlxmP3n4SQs

ML Driven Epidemiological Model to Forecast COVID19 Progression by Quantifying
That was my very basic understanding of it. At which point you have to wonder when a market driven economy actually becomes a planned economy.
Probably interesting in this context is ROCA, Resource-oriented Client Architecture. The basic idea is to deliver HTML and beeing RESTful, while using JavaScript only to enhance user experience ("Progressive Enhancement").

However, one practical problem with this approach is that HTML forms currently only support POST and GET, although PUT and DELETE were needed in many scenarios. Without JavaScript the only solutions are using POST for everything or using POST + hidden form field with the desired HTTP method and rewriting the request on the server side.

Very true. Not to discount MD training or doctors, but it's less about connecting disparate dots or learning how to solve problems and more about working out the brain like a muscle.
I can't access the link because it's paywalled, but I assume you're talking about this clip: https://youtu.be/kGsqg5vtahA . EDIT: Found the free button :). Yeah, I guessed right.

I can't see how you can classify this as an abuse. Yeah, the cops should have apprehended him instead of pushing him after he started scanning their equipment, or whatever he was doing, but it's very clear from the clip the officers had no intention of harming the man. You even have some guys in green checking on him at the tail end of the video. The officer which pushes him also appears to try to help immediately after the incident - even if it's not exactly clear what he was trying to do -, before he is pushed back in formation.

Did any officer resign in solidarity with George Floyd's murderer? Or in some other incident which we can all agree is an abuse?
That isn't going to happen in the US because all those loopholes represent some politician flexing his power. No, I'm not exaggerating.

I think in some of the Nordic countries they've done harmonization, but that can only occur when a technical solution is possible, and US politician want to retain political control of funding.

Don't get me started about AMT. About a decade ago there was a poll of House members. All of them said they couldn't do their own taxes because of AMT, except one who was basically poor.

For non-US readers, the US federal tax code consists of 2 parallel rules, regular and Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). AMT was originally supposed to catch high-income earners, but after decades of inflation, catches basically anybody with a 6-figure salary, depending on the tax year.

If you want your head to explode, read this:

Anyway, no. No good programmer needs to make things more complicated on purpose, to earn a living. The bugfilled world of IT is complicated enough as it is and always was like this.
> "has entered Phase II of its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) USAF project with a renewed mandate to investigate blockchain’s military supply chain value propositions."

I think the title of the article is imprecise because it is suggesting they will build something, but that budget is just for investigating the value proposition.

Working for many years on startups, normally we need to find the value proposition before.

The existential 'antipattern' is the only way to get close to a good notion of subtyping. In my experience it also tends to be faster.
> I think the point is that it has to excel over the iPhone/Android/laptop classes in some, significant, manner, or else it just gets sniffed at. This is an important thing to recognise in the quest for platform adoption.

If you see mainstream domination as the goal, e.g. to surpass Android or iOS, you'll probably be disappointed. I see it as giving those of us that care about privacy, security and openness a way to opt out of the Apple/Google almost-duopoly, just as Linux distributions do for the Apple/Microsoft one on the desktop.

For me, it only needs to be just about good enough to use as a daily driver, for now. I know I will be buying the shit out of one when these are available in July.
Isn't that a prerequisite to begin with by now?

One way is that it can handle functions like return : Monad m => a -> m a where m occurs only in the outputs. There's no input arg you could hang a vtable off of.
The opposite of "purely academic" is not being in the hands of average consumers and/or enthusiasts, nor is it that everything works and is usable.

Case in point: postmarketOS and UBPorts, as well-established and very serious projects with plenty of traction, are not in the hands of the average enthusiast, and still has ways to go to handle even the Pinephone properly.
The only regression that seemed widespread was the joycon drift on pro controller (which was bad, but fixed within a week).

Otherwise heavy Splatoon players might be hit more than others, but the stability improvements seemed real. At some point the Switch had to be rebooted every other day, nowadays it's something not needed in weeks perhaps.

For QOL the last big update allowing to remap buttons was a big deal. I haven't tried moving data between to the SD card but it would also be a big deal for people with more than 10 ~ 20 games, as space becomes scarce pretty fast.
Pyrrhic Victory
Lot of people have plenty of time to waste.

I'm slight against the change 'cause I have 24 hours a day and there are more pressing issues IMO to address inequalities around the world. However, if others want to tackle that in their time, they are welcome.

But wasting so much time / bandwidth / space for a thing that you shouldn't care about, just wow: what if, instead of creating such repo/issue you spend some time to improve humanity? There are so many causes out there that need some advertisement and supporters, please join one.

The government only cares if you're developing something that will make more money, which presumably selling via the internet will.

It doesn't have to change the world, as long as it moves the needle.
very interesting! I would like to know more about the voice assistant technology and the cobot logic.
I don't know of a single language that has a vtable per object. What would even be the point?

Edit: Assuming we're talking about objects that can be grouped into some sort of 'classes'.
Isn’t this the norm? I complained that sales were “demoing new features” to customers before the back-end dev team had even heard of these features. I was basically told to stay in my lane. A property developer making design mockups of new highrises doesn’t run it past the bricklayers first, so why should product/sales talk to us digital bricklayers...

In one sense, great, I don’t want to bother about what a customer’s priorities are. But it turns out that only works if you TRUST the product team.
As albertyezer’s comment noted, this was definitely a very influential project for film and art in general.

On the other hand, to understand the significance of the story, you have to notice the subtle “identity” of Tokyo. The city is described as “Neo-” Tokyo, and we hear the characters discuss that the transformation from Tokyo -> Neo-Tokyo occurred after a big explosion. And the film itself ends on a big explosion destroying the city.

In some ways, all these events are subtle references to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the firebombings of Tokyo. At the end, we see the city’s natural state restore itself (with floods of water and sunlight) in an oddly meditative moment. I think for the Japanese population in particular, Akira portrayed an underlying message of hope, trust and humanity, something very important for a recovering nation.

The message is probably much harder for us to relate to, given our time dilation from such historical events.
A Chrome extension that provides automation for operations
DynamoDB costs you nothing when its not in use. It only charges based on actual reads and writes performed. As opposed to a traditional Relational database that always has to be on and has to be scaled up vertically to the maximum anticipated load permanently and with a read replica if you really want redundancy.

DynamoDB gives you redundancy out of the box (your tables are replicated across the three availability zones in a region), the scale is available to you if you have sudden traffic in on demand mode or you can set a limit if you wish to manage costs; your queries may receive errors about being throttled at some point if you approach those limits.

For OLTP workloads, DynamoDB (and a lot of other NoSQL-style, cluster based databases) cannot be beat for performance, capacity, scalability and costs. Which is exactly what you want on the front line of a workload that can receive large amounts of traffic.

For OLAP workloads with unknown query patterns across a variable set of data that can change over time and large table scans, a relational database is king because the actual volume of traffic is low but the size of queries are a lot larger usually.
32/64 isn’t a good analogy because the only reason Apple supported 32 for so long was because Intel missed their deadline for core two duo which led cause the first generation core duos to be 32 only.
> then perhaps the right pricing plan and offering for you is something like a guaranteed cell phone line, which comes with the promise that it will not be over-subscribed

Something like that does exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationwide_Wireless_Priority_S... Mostly cops only. Fun fact: satellite phones had terrible reliability during Katrina, because so many FEMA people showed up and tried using them at the same time that they saturated the Iridium network.
Oh? So the moment you no longer have people who know which are relevant the AI works?
> They are not bad people.

Very few people are "bad" people but the way you're describing it makes it pretty clear that they're making unethical choices, and they're doing so consciously. Actions speak louder than words.

Somehow I hadn't really thought about whether the discrimination in university admissions against Asian Americans in general affects all sub-groups, like Japanese Americans for example. Is this the case?
Many year ago, I worked on a project providing training simulations for the Reactor Shutdown Safety Sequencing Equipment (RSSE) of a UK AGR power station - the project manager had been involved in the construction of the plant and explained that the equipment involved actually used mechanical sequencing essentially based on clockwork as it was designed using technology that was really trusted when the AGR plants were first designed in the 1960s - which basically meant 1940s level technology.

Edit: Pretty sure I have the words in RSSSE correct though perhaps not in the right order.

From Engadget coverage [1], I feel a bit of context is missing in TFA.

Autoscaling is monstrously good on DynamoDB. You can turn on on demand mode so that it will scale up to the sheer limits of DynamoDB itself, but you pay per usage. So if you do want to set some kind of limit based on affordability you can set limits as to how much the tables scale.

As to how that autoscaling performs, its instant and always available so you have nothing to worry about there. Rather spend your time focussed on optimisation of queries than managing the scalability of your datastore which is as it should be.

Nim or Rust?

Some Rust syntax seems overly confusing. But Nim doesn’t really have strong corporate support backing it.

But, both are still new, and missing a lot of libraries.

Rust is annoying, where there aren’t standardized libraries for common functions. Just some guy’s tweet to use some random cargo crate from someone.
Cue lots of self congratulatory facebook posts.
Universal approximation doesn't seem that strong a claim at all, you could use simple polynomials to achieve just that (to some extent RELUs are polynomials as well, provided you use 0/1 or integer weights, but that's probably besides the point).

It would be much weirder for a function with lots of parameters to not have universal approximation in some sense, as it would imply that you lose some degrees of freedom somewhere.

I am struck dumb with awe in the presence of such eminent authority as your friend :P

I have a serious question for someone with your friend's expertise, though. I always thought that LSD "blotters" have a use-by date after which they lose their potency. Word was that they evaporate or some such.

Is that true, or is it just an urban legend? I don't reckon any of the people I've had this kind of conversation with would have kept any LSD blotters around for long enough to really find out.

Obviously, having heard this rumour I was surprised by the article. Friends I read it to also thought the LSD should have expired by then.

Air France Ramps Up Flight Schedule as Restrictions Ease

What option do they have though? If they throw all the old out and replace it people freak out.

If anything slowly rendering the older stuff obsolete and moving settings into the new unified settings system makes the most sense to move forward without people freaking out.

Your only options, for windows users is to do things very slowly or just don't move forward or innovate at all and as of today there is very little reason to dig into the older versions apart from very esoteric settings.

I thought it was 35.

But the most efficient way to drive a gas car is to speed up, then turn the engine off and coast down to a slower speed, then engine on for quickly moving up to a fast speed again.

Of course, the only way you'd want to drive like that is if you are alone in the desert and need to get to a gas station.
Do you think it's wasting time to push back against something if you believe it is not useful or legitimate?

That seems hyperbolic to me. If you rely on UUID for security, it seems, to me, something is wrong in your architecture and the security flaw lies there.

When would you, legitimate, rely on GUID/UUID for security?

Theoretically this is a good idea and the collection of data is handled with utmost care without central device or user information. I don't know how generic bluetooth interfaces in smartphones have evolved, but I think its reliability would be the greatest weakness.

Honestly, aside from some demonstrations, when you look at how people behave, I think the tracing is almost a moot point again. Maybe it can be put to use when the next wave or pandemic hits, but currently everyone is behaving like normal again without using any app.
Remember in the SV costs are astronomical, so there's a kind of buy-in threshold necessary which won't make sense for most companies.

Shopify is a perfect company for Canada - they are not making 'tech for other techies' and don't require all the best devs in the world. It took a while to get going, so costs needed to be lower. They can make some income early on, thus 'proving the model'.

There is a reason that the nations top social network started at Harvard, which has an elite status among young people. There's a reason that Snap was started by an attractive young man from Cali, from a the top school in Cali. Glossier, a 'makeup company' is actually, truly a 'social network', and there's a reason it was founded by an ex-model/reality TV star with deep connections in LA/NYC.

On the technical side, there's a reason that certain companies really need to be in the Valley as well.

So if your business needs to be in the Valley, it might make sense to do that, but if it's a 2cnd-tier kind of thing, not something the FAANGS would ever look at, and doesn't require the best technical talent in the world, than you can do it other places.

Montreal a tier 2 cities, Ottawa/Vancouver, not really tier 2, Toronto is probably a solid tier 2. FYI that is actually not bad considering tons of American cities are not tier 2 either. Chicago, Toronto's 'twin' really might not even be Tier 2, there is a weird lack of entrepreneurial activity there for its relative size and power.

Montreal has cheap prices, decent AI grads, stable economy, supportive government, weak VC but the top could of firms are fine places to go for smaller up to round A, and if your business fits well into Quebec's strategy, following rounds can be supported by Desjardins and nationalist players.

Also, Porn.
Sadly, this story continues to have a modern day version in the form of poor government support for domestic firms. Canadian education and talent is incredible and arguably world class but with greater opportunity in the south, many choose to leave. Perhaps some may have come back with the US politics but I doubt there's a mass migration back to Canada.

>the resize area for a window is seemingly 1 pixel wide. You used to be able to specify a width and all windows would be bordered with it. I get that Win10 looks sleeker but did they really have to take that control away

It's really a bit of a mistake, maybe a limitation(?) of the Windows UI system.

I mean the border on OS X is 1px too but the resize area is about 8 pixels.

Would love it if MS could do another spin on the deep details and just make it all work nice.

The core question is: what should a "correct" ethnical distribution be on campus?

Should it roughly match the composition of the general population?

Should it be biased towards ethnicities historically suppressed?

Should it be totally independent of ethnicity and only focus on highschool exam results?

In the end this is a political question. The naive answer would be option #3 which has the downside though that it does not account for prior discrimination in primary/secondary schools that all too often favor students of white middle-class parents due to a combination of factors, so the modern approach is more or less option #2.

That’s not an instruction on how to read the code aloud, but a way of describing a certain fact about the function.

If you were actually reading it aloud, I would strongly avoid that use of the word “where”, because it’ll be confused with a where clause:

fn print<T>(v: T) where T: ToString

The two are semantically identical, but they put the constraint in different places, so using the word “where” will confuse things, especially when it leads to you repeating the “T” in a way that where clauses do but the first form doesn’t.

For myself, I would probably read the original line of code as “function print, generic over type tee implementing to string, taking parameter vee of type tee”.

The where clause version I’d read as “function print, generic over type tee, taking parameter vee of type tee, where tee implements to string”.
