The cookie laws have done quite literally nothing to aid privacy. As a top level comment states, browsers are much more apt to handling this than forcing websites to. Furthermore it is singularly more painful to consider that most websites do not exist within the EU.

Like most of the laws sponsored by these lawmakers they are technically useless and act as little more than a hook to allow various governments to arbitrarily penalise companies they don't like.

Literally no one voted for an MEP hoping for regulation of cookies on their browsing.
The idea of UNICODE was to avoid that.

While I am looking forward to their upcoming new service, you can't call it "to start a rebellion" when your protocol/approach is closed: To use Hey! you need to use the web client or their own apps.

If other providers would follow that rebellion, we would have many many additional walled gardens.

I see your example of the extreme end a lot, and while I understand why people arrive at it, I think it's useful to question some of the underlying premises.

Oftentimes, I think people say things like "I don't think a few bad police officers ruin policing just like I don't think BLM is evil because of a few violent actors" because they have empathy for police officers who don't do horrible things, and it's sort of a knee jerk reaction against broadly characterizing people.

The problem, however, is that the two groups aren't equivalent. If we granted every person who identified with the BLM movement the same authority as we do police officers, the presence of violent actors inside BLM protests would be an issue. But we don't.

Police officers are given the utmost authority and deterrence in America. They have particular legal protections, they are authorized by the government to give legally enforceable orders to other citizens, etc. Even if the bad acts are a "drop in the bucket," would that be acceptable? And isn't the fact that these bad acts are persistent—regardless of frequency relative to good acts—at the very least suggestive of systemic issues?

In other words, consistent bad acts—even if infrequent—are a bigger deal when the actor is in such a position of authority. Protest groups are clearly not in such a position—hence their protests.

No, and APTs refer to Advanced Persistent Threat (can be an organization, a malware, but with non-friendly or unintended intent).

"...not terribly useful but still interesting enough to share.

Say you want to give somebody a copy of a web page that you’ve previously retrieved, and you want to convince them that what you’re giving them really did come from the original web server at some point."

Au contraire.

Solving this fixes journalism and "fake news". Mostly.

Not GP but I've found medication is the difference between "adulting" okayish and not adulting at all (bills slip by, staying focused on work is excruciating, house looks like a tornado hit).

I've also found I'm a hyper-metabolizer. Ritalin lasts about 90 minutes before crash, amphetamine about 6h, and straterra just makes me derp. There's a hysteresis effect to the crashes - topping off with more IR isn't the same as preventing a crash.

Current protocol is 15 mg Vyvanse (yes the dexamph prodrug that's supposed to last all day) when I get up around 9, another 15mg around 1300. And actually thinking about switching to 3x. All in an effort to get a really stable blood plasma. Otherwise, I turn into a zombie and can't make dinner.

Still a struggle, and side effects abound, but well worth it.
$99/yr for email is steep, but I understand that most people don't want to bother setting this stuff up and have no qualms paying for it, especially at a price point that is only slightly above G Suite.
"match", in fact, can mean "similar", not necessarily "exactly equal".
In code I control, I agree.

I’m disappointed in Hey so far.

It’s a closed system (no IMAP).

They are charging a premium price for it over Fastmail or Google Gsuite.

There is no calendar.

No ability to import old emails into it.

Seems like they could have just released a mail app sitting on top of Fastmail and had more/better features from day one.
Author here. I mention in the article that this deviates a bit from Agile/Scrum best practices. No guarantees on estimation quality (impossible to do for software) but it helps to provide a rough order-of-magnitude guide for innovative/never-been-done-before projects.

This method is more accurate for types of software projects that have already been built (web stores, etc.) since it's easier to know the difficulty of the components of those projects.

Chris Lattner:

Bitcode is not a magic solution, though. You can’t take a 32-bit app, for example, and run it on a 64-bit device. That kind of portability isn’t something that Bitcode can give you, notably because that is something that’s visible in C. As you’re writing C code, you can write #ifdef pointer size equals 32, and that’s something that Bitcode can’t abstract over. It’s useful for very specific, low-level kinds of enhancements, but it isn’t a panacea that makes everything magically portable.

Hi Daniel. Thanks a lot for the comment. This makes sense. We all should choose right tools for the right job and architect our solutions according to the requirements and restrictions we have.

One of my original goals was to make the financial entry-barrier as low as possible. Another — to provide educational context for covering a full-stack IoT development from firmware to backend to frontend. This means using cheap hardware and open-source software. In fact, I spent around 9$ on everything that was needed for this project.

I wouldn't say that this project is over-engineered with cool tech. I tried to keep the setup as minimal as possible, sticking to industry-standard data exchange protocols and frameworks.

Of course, all of the software part could be written using ANSI C or C++, but from my point of view, it wouldn't make the project simpler, because there are more specialized tools that are better suited for the particular task, be it backend, frontend or firmware (Rust, HTML5+JS and C in case of this project). I have outlined rationalization behind this particular technology stack under the "Choosing the technology stack" heading.

You are right that in a commercial setting, there might be myriad more inputs that constrain the technology choice like team experience, your company's recommended technology stack and etc. Of course, we can't take into consideration all these hypothetical requirements, as they depend on the environment you are working in and the commercial goals of the project.

To make your comment complete, could you share your ideas on how to architect this alternatively to get the same result with less than ten bucks, maybe an hour or two, and just a handful of code, if any? If it is a viable alternative I'll consider adding it into the post as an alternative tech stack, so people reading it will see more alternative options on how to build this project.

“Restaurants” are not a single institution with centralized authority. If you saw a 100 videos of the systematic malpractice in a single restaurant chain, you can bet that company would be shut down.

Police don't have a centralized authority. And it really depends on how big the chain restaurant is if 100 videos would have it shut down.

The better argument is that each one of those restaurants would be exposed and either they would put in enough effort to show they have improved or people would stop eating there. You can't boycott your local police.
There's some evidence that gamification helps motivate people. That can be a double edged sword, because repeated failures to live up to some measurement can be so discouraging that a person gives up entirely and quits measuring (and acting).
I didn't downvote you and I agree with many of your points.

However personally speaking I would (and do) in fact discount a reading where even two sentences are highly suspect; it makes it not worth spending the time to read the rest of it.

As another example, I work primarily in data analytics. If I produce a report where even a single number is wrong, it almost immediately calls into question all of the other reporting I produced (did they use the same unreliable source? what transformations did they apply? was any sanity checking performed?). And, as it should.

Accuracy is incredibly important to making things appear legitimate.
Thanks. I'm aware it's not related to the package manager, just wanted to check.
The legal norms obviously originate from socio-political norms and moreover law is literally political, so the scare quotes are quite unnecessary.

Very frankly, most people who think they "just picked up" things up did not picked things those things up from nothing. They were in environment that provided enough information and idea about there are things to be picked up from.

That is guidance. And looking at kids now, there is pretty often one kid who is shown basics by parent or video who then show part of those basics to other kids - when it comes to things they are interested in like minecraft. Then they bootstrap, but this is not like the first kid would divine minecraft servers exists. There was that information somewhere.

Same applies to useful skills, except they are less likely to find fun stuff about writing documents or filesystem.

No-one gambles to increase risk. Waging a bet against a payout is only superficially different from waging a premium against a catastrophe.

I don’t think that’s quite the right definition. I know I’m going to die. I bought whole life insurance. I have not committed fraud.
>> One thing that's not obvious to me from TFA is why an incandescent bulb is called out specifically.

Because they produce light continuously. An led, CFL, or other will actually flicker at 120Hz.

An incandescent bulb still has 120Hz power going in, but because it depends on heating to produce light and the filament has some thermal capacity, this is largely smoothed out.

They don't. I've lost ability to deploy GitHub pages to domains I own because of this, when a repo went out of my control with CNAME set... Now I cannot change the CNAME there, and cannot verify a new repo with that name.

So far GitLab seems to be the best one I've run into, they do validation, and as long as you keep control of the domain, you keep control of your pages.
I built something similar based on node, chartjs, mqtt and dynatable: https://github.com/sinnfeinn/featherweatherstation
That article seems to say that this technique works better with LED lamps vs. incandescent bulbs.

I wonder if they're talking about direct line of sight to the LED chip. Most of the LED "bulbs" in my house use a frosted plastic housing around the LED chip, which I would guess to interfere with the sound recovery.
> I think companies are just looking for ways to help, and this is what Github came up with.

Help how exactly?

This to me seems like a PR preemptive measure not to be caught in some zealous virtue signalling.

> So calling it "master" never really made sense to me. It seems like "primary," "main," "central" or a similar word fits better.

That was always me feeling too.
It is basically the same. Briefing is a bit more modern and has a few more features. As I mentioned in the help text on https://brie.fi/ng#help I started the project as a spin off of a virtual classroom project https://peer.school/ Sources https://github.com/holtwick/peer2school

How come the police get to be on edge but not the people? You’d probably be on edge too after centuries of oppression in every aspect of society.
I think, at least personally, it would be difficult to reduce my inner self to a clickbait headline. I am constantly on a journey of self discovery and exploration. The necessities of ego and projecting certain outward appearances in furtherance of my external goals only obscure my inner self, not just from the world, but my own awareness. I’ve been increasingly disturbed by how out of touch I am with myself. I would probably also be disturbed if someone else tried to judge and reduce me to a Buzzfeed headline.

Regardless I think your idea is interesting and, for personal use, would aid my introspective process.

Ask HN: How to make sure that my explanation is being understood?
I feel like lot of times when I am explaining bit more complicated concept, the audience or the interviewer isn't grasping it.
I would either start explaining too much or start rambling. How do you make sure your explanation is concise and clear without being either too superficial or quite elaborate? Also what would be the way to have some kind of implicit feedback when I am explaining it to someone so that I feel like they are understanding what I am talking about?
A fun (i thought) fact i heard the other day is that both Nintendo (founded 1889) and Coca-Cola (founded 1886) predate Dracula (published 1897). So it would be entirely euchronistic for an adaption to feature Dracula lounging about, drinking Coke and playing Nintendo.
Holy moly! As a big user of midi (I'm trying to make music for embedded platforms) the sequencer is a KILLER feature.

I've used LMMS in the past as I still find it much easier to compose with a sequencer than an actual music sheet but the major flaw is it's midi export not exporting the instruments meaning I have to touch it up in Aria Maestosa.

Ps. The musescore soundfont is probably the highest quality open source one out there, not a single instrument sounds wrong. It's my goto soundfont for composing
That's what I say about drug dealers, aren't they just like pharmacists without all the flim-flam? And if people decide to make poor decisions with drugs, why stop them?
What's the point here?

Mine is there's endless propaganda depicting corporate America as bright shiny perfect perfection and government as slow clunky incompetence and I'm really really tired of the bullshit.

It's not academic, it's not scholarly, it's mindless partisan cheerleading, some kind of religious orthodoxy, a blind adherence to something that's obviously nonsense.

It's just endless streams of nonstop crap from places line heritage, hoover, heartland, aei, cato, they're overflowing bullshit factories. Enough of that nonsense already.

Governments do incorporated things and corporations do governance - they are different structures of cultural institutions that interact with each other all the time.

I don't think they will be going for 'full DAW' functionality, rather taking the same path that Dorico [1] has taken - in allowing DAW-like features to produce better audio output from the scoring application, while still remaining in that same app.

I've found that Dorico has allowed me to control things that otherwise I would have needed to put into a DAW to do (such as alter played note lengths to my satisfaction while retaining the notation I think is appropriate) - something which was previously difficult or impossible to do.

In addition, being able to have DAW-like control of a mix removes the need to transfer the project (or stems) to a DAW, which can be great, particularly when you want to quickly create something for someone's assessment; yes, in the final version you may well need everything that a DAW offers, but often you'll just need a bit of control to spruce things up a bit and take it in the right direction, and having greater control over this (via VST Instruments and hopefully effects) will allow this all to happen in-app rather than having the (sometimes long-winded) transfer to a DAW. Which can then need to be done again when there's a significant enough change to the music to mean a re-import.

To be pedantic the RDP was the rasterizer (fixed function) which was fed by the RSP processor. The RSP ran the display-list commands from the cpu/memory (very similar to a Vulkan command list) and did vertex transforms/clipping before feeding its output to the RDP.

Most games used one of a few Nintendo provided RSP programs although later in the machine's lifetime they opened up the RSP compiler and tools to developers.
Exception that proves the rule, there. The insurance company knows you'll die too.
Get what done?

Heroku replaced their wildcard certificate in plenty of time but many customers do not anticipate anything changing ever and will fiercely resist this simple fact, so for those customers stuff blew up.

Remember the Y2K problem is the result of software written not in 1901 or even just 1981 but even well into the 1990s with the calm certainty that all years begin 19xx.

Heroku can try brown out policies, but this sort of customer intransigence is very difficult to defeat. The customer is quite certain they're right, who ever heard of "change" anyway? Everyone knows that the world is a flat plane, fixed in space, eternal and unchanging, this pinning rule I wrote in 2019 worked then, therefore it is still correct now.
I know the best art is created by embracing constraints.
Not impossible, we are a long way from computronium but I'll believe it when I see it in independent benchmarks.
Both voice recognition had first working research machines in the 1950s. Of course present models are way better than these, but fundamentally these are the same as those in the '50s, "just" with tremendously better hardware and algorithms. But there is zero intelligence in these, the models have no internal concept of language or the world around them.

This will certainly produce many great specific solutions for specific problems, but generic problems like driving a car are most probably not solvable without an internal world model.

I'm one of the naysayers and have a background in educational science, I'm constantly baffled why AI research seemingly never looks at theories of human learning (though it may very well be that I haven't looked closely enough!). What essentially all AI approaches do is modelling associative learning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning#Associative_learning), but employing more and more processing power for training. This is akin to having a fruit fly brain and copy-pasting that over and over again, in the hope somehow a higher order will organize from that by itself. But most things humans reason about are not learned this way, but rather by infering meaning from things and situations, i.e. one learns how a steering wheel works not through hundreds and hundreds of trial and error cases, but through single Aha! moments in which ad-hoc generated mental models (concepts) are validated in the environment. And GPT-3 has no knowledge organized in a hierarchical system of concepts, just as ELIZA didn't have one.
