I mentioned Coursera in another comment but I think it's exactly what you are looking for.

The intro video for linear regression of one variable is free (I think the whole course is free) and gives a good taste of what's in the course:

The CCP is leveraging this historical narrative to harness the power of 1.4 billion people. They are creating a nationalistic fusion to grab power.

Up until the past 2-3 years, most Americans did not care about China as a whole. Just another country we do business with.
It is a consideration in the field of political economy or development economics. Development economists rarely get invited to talk about domestic politics in OECD countries though so the focus is all on developing ones.
The difference is cost. Only states can afford R9Xs, and the costs will never come down significantly.

Private individuals will soon be able to afford automated drone swarms. Set it and forget it.
Yes, I do several times a month on behalf of my clients. You can call them, chat with them, they call you back. They aren't perfect, but far from "you're on your own".
HTML hyperlinks as they are - unidirectional - are a very long standing design decision the last futile revision of which was in 1099 or so with XLink. You probably have it seen in action with SVG-in-HTML (and SVG fragment inclusion in SVG itself) where it kindof rears its ugly head in that, for the longest time, you had to use xlink:href (with xlink bound to the XLink XML namespace). XLink itself is based on SGML/HyTime concepts from 1990s. I believe Sun back then patent-encumbered XPointer (which is the part of XLink for addressing fragments), and especially claimed IP rights on its representation of range addressing, which didn't help to make it popular I guess.

Before changing HTML link semantics though, HTML should really consider allowing placing href on any element rather than using the dedicated <a href=...> element though (with the expectation that this acts equivalently to an anchor link), like MathML does.

In general, I'm not sure hosting discussions on third-party aggregators such as discus.com is really a win for privacy, though.
"Protect herself" sounds funny when they're invading neighbours left and right.
That's a fair opinion, but he was sufficiently out of his head I could see how he might have tased someone else. If it's between him getting shot and him tasing someone else, it's not a happy choice, but better the guy gets shot than some innocent bystander gets hurt. It's pretty hard to predict what that person would do next. He did try non-lethal force several times. At this point I'm figuring I'll wait until the results of the investigation come in, but I can definitely see the policeman's point of view.

I agree with your insinuation that there is utility in having a language for describing the brain processes or their functions in humans that is different from the other living beings.

One way that I like to think about it is that there's a spectrum of "sophistication". Even within the human population, there's gradation: not everyone is great at critical thinking, forecasting, imagining, reasoning, meta cognition, etc.

When I look to the stars, I wonder what levels exist above the human mind.

Looking "downward", are there "thinking processes" that we could assimilate through technology into our own minds?
I pay $2200/month mortgage to live in the burbs of a major southeastern city. - 5 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath, 3100 square feet. It was a brand new build in 2016.

I just went to https://paycheckcity.com and did a gross up calculator. At first I thought you were underestimating how much more I would have to make to make the move worthwhile - with downsizing.

But if we were willing to downsize, I would need to make about $70K - $80K more than the average senior software engineer makes in my area.

I was off. $220K - $240K is about the average range for engineer with 3-5 years of experience in $BigTech so $6500/month is not unreasonable.
To quote the inventor of that himself:

The problem is I’m older now, I’m 40 years old, and this stuff doesn’t change the world. It really doesn’t.

That’s going to break people’s hearts.

I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much – if at all.

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that. But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light – that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important.

Lincoln did not have a Web site at the log cabin where his parents home-schooled him, and he turned out pretty interesting. Historical precedent shows that we can turn out amazing human beings without technology. Precedent also shows that we can turn out very uninteresting human beings with technology.
I LOVE the idea of a search engine that lowers the rank of results with ads. This might be the key to success in finding projects of love rather than commercial click holes.
I feel like the debate between the microservices evangelists and the contrarians are "Microservices are a best practice you should almost always use" and "Microservices are a tool for primarily splitting up development teams when they get too large to manage, i.e. a technical solution to an organization problem".

) If I'm an indie developer with no negotiating power, is that a 70/30?

That rate is under nda. What I can say is I've never heard of big studios getting a better rate in the first place.

As in real estate you can get upfront money, marketing commitments, or guarantees, but landlords/platforms are loath to give out better rates.
>A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.

I don't think that term applies to short sellers or investigative reporters. When they win, they profit. John Carreyrou's career and reputation have surely seen a boost from his work on Theranos, no?
It turns out everything has got something to do with the price of rice in China, to paraphrase a saying my mom used to say. No disrespect meant to China or Chinese people, just an observation about how interconnected our inputs and outputs are, and how little slack there is in the system. Perhaps more slack than we give ourselves credit for, but less slack for some than any of us deserve.

I feel for those who are struggling right now, everywhere. Help those you can, near and far. That’s the best diplomacy, living your ideals in a predictable, consistent way. I think that was the genius and perhaps criminal aspect of Kissinger. He was duplicitous, in my opinion, but he told the truth using a lie, as an artist does.
I'm very much not a fan of this introduction.

You use gradient descent, but do not introduce the normal equations. This is problematic for at least two reasons.

Case 1: Design matrix has full rank

Omitting the normal equations obfuscates what is really going on. You are inverting a matrix to solve the first order condition of a strictly convex objective, which therefore has a unique optimum.

Case 2: Design matrix does not have full rank

Omitting the normal equations hides the fact that there are multiple solutions to the first order condition. Gradient descent will find one of them, but you need a principled method for selecting among them. The Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse method gives you the solution with the smallest L2 norm.

Omitting these details is setting learners up for failure.
What you say sounds interesting but could you give an example of "think in contracts" compared to and example of "knowing the runtime state in your head".

Personally I have never really seen the advantage of staticaly typed languages over say Python, but I do rely on the strict typing supplied by a database instead.
It's created by Basecamp which makes Turbolinks [0], Turbolink iOS [1], and Turbolinks Android (deprecated) [2], so there's a good chance that snappiness you're seeing is due to those awesome tools! (In fact, this Github issue comment [3] seems to confirm that HEY uses Turbolinks.)

On a related note, really wish things had gone this direction. Instead, it feels like React, Angular, etc. re-created the backend in the frontend, so now for most apps you essentially have two backends plus one frontend to maintain. I think as soon as our frontends started requiring controllers and routes to work we should have been like, "Hey, wait a minute..." But I guess design folks tend to know JS, so I can see how that combo won.

My $0.02 from 5+ years in the industry is that you probably don't need React, but Godspeed if you think you do - just maintain extreme discipline or you'll end up with spaghetti code (esp. if contractors are involved) faster than you can blink.

Long-term, I hope things move back to sanity. React and company work OK for some problems, but 95% of websites/webapps can probably get by with either straight HTML/JS/CSS or server-side rendering/templating.

oh you should definitely checkout some of the more serious "hobby" rockets and launches. All it would need is some extra kick and some guidance. Hezbollah builds and launches even more basic missiles all the time, and hurts Israel all the time.
> It’s kind of funny the worship of the sun, which a) actually exists; and b) is responsible for life on earth (not to mention stars generally are responsible for the elements that make up life) is cult status...but if you worship a “God” that is entirely faith based and more akin to a invisible friend, that is a sacred religion.

It is funny. But then again, almost everything in society relies on storytelling like that. The mainstream narrative is always flawed or biased, but everybody pretends it isn't.
I think that's the second point in the list:

> A big part of the contact tracing protocol (which was originally the DP3T protocol) is implemented by Apple-Google in a part of the system called GAEN. This part has no available source code although the law requires disclosure of the source code of all components of the system.

Since the first point is separate from that, it must be referring to something else?!
this is something different, does army have any more such guides?
I recommend "Processing". It presents as a constrained form of javascript with easy to use graphics primatives. KahnAcademy uses it.

Nice and simple examples here: https://processing.org/examples/

If your cousin happens to be "into" Robolx you might also look a "Lua". Robolox (and many other games) uses it for scripting.
Maven is IMO the best choice for Java and Kotlin, but even maven is stupidly complex. It's sort of maddening that all JVM languages seem to suffer from clunky build tooling, though I'm certainly glad that they work as well as they do.

> The race car in this instance would be the paper, it is well presented and assuming it survives scrutiny, eternal.

The parent is pointing out how the code is the only approachable version of the paper for many people. Making it read like mathematics renders it useless - since it only speaks to the audience that can already understand the paper.

I fall into this category. If the code had reasonable variable names and comments I could probably figure out how it works. But since it reads like the wall of LaTeX on the linked page - I can't pierce it without learning a lot of mathematics. I think that says a lot about mathematic notation.

>They are more or less holding in the chemical-weapons area,

Tactical inconveniences that limit utility are what's preventing chemical weapon usage. Nobody uses chemical weapons because we have better, more effective ways to kill each other making them not really useful except in limited circumstances like terrorizing civilians (a static target that probably doesn't have gas masks) in areas where you have air superiority (e.g. Syria now, Iraq decades ago, etc.). Chemical weapons were mostly abandoned after WW1 because they just didn't work well enough for the effort and resources required to use them.

Human losses could be prevented if all parties in a conflict have access to this tech. Then there's also the matter of trust. You stopping work on it doesn't mean your adversary has stopped work on it.
Yes, if you need an immediate response. It also helps you push through "level 1" support much faster than a traditional ticketing/email system.
Corporate lawyers often say “no policy at all is better than a policy you don’t enforce or follow.” Amazon set a policy not to sell or facilitate the sale of that type of product and then didn’t follow/enforce it. Failing a test of your own design is failing to meet a preposterously low bar.
I don't get what Troy Hunt has done to his tool. You used to be able to type in an email address and learn all the times your credentials have been in a leak/breach. Now he wants you to enter your password. What security minded person would reveal their password to a site like this? It would be trivial to associate your password to your IP address.

The collective trauma experienced on 9/11 largely made anti war movements DOA. Combined with the sheer volume of conflicts and proxy wars were involved in, were probably too far gone.
Ask HN: How do you monitor data integrity?
I'm finding little if none literature on this topic; all resources about monitoring are heavily focused on capturing and analyzing run-time traces: app logs, http statuses, etc. Database constraints and unit tests do exist, but so do bugs. As it is almost impossible anyway to prevent bad data from being saved sooner or later, do you have a strategy to monitor your data integrity?
I'm here to tell you that comprehension in this form is not everyone's thing. Scala's comprehension is more generic and it's actually monad binding. Comprehension as seen in python is only readable for simple computation, so you end up having to use map reduce sometime. That makes 2 ways to do the same thing and the "zen of python" a lie in this instance.

That's exactly how you'd do it, and the functionality definitely exists - all handled on the server side. See: learning spam from ham by dragging to/from the spam folder.

Micromorts feature a fair amount on Tim Harford's excellent More or Less¹ show. It strikes me that people who like the micromort as a topic would probably find the podcast generally interesting too.

I would be willing to bet a non-zero amount of money that, much like the average Hacker News reader would woefully under-estimate how much .Net code is out there being written today, so to would we woefully underestimate how much usage the Microsoft Store gets.
Thank you for the correction, but my point still stands.
Not sure if you have experience the unskippable ad but it was egregious. I force quit edge from task manager before it finished but I cannot uninstall Edge from the add or remove programs.

I'm with you, launch a guide on how to use edge as soon as they click on the Internet Explorer icon. Please do not unset my preference of default browser, please do not make me crash your program to avoid your ad... in general why does my start bar get worse every time it changes as it lurches towards an ad display vector.
Thanks for this!!!!
You are right. This is way more scary.
Never used Lisp, but this sounds like a case of offering you loads of cool stuff when writing new code, which in turn will make debugging the code an absolute nightmare. This is based on my experience with mixed metaphor languages like Python. You can do some clever stuff like generating functions dynamically and passing them around, but when you need to debug these bits of code they can be a nightmare. Does Lisp improve on this in any way?
well, on Mac Safari comes pre-installed, so it's not like there's a good alternative out there. You should remember it's in their interest to shove their own browsers down your throat.

Funny enough, I guess they would get less criticism if Edge just came preinstalled like Mac does with safari.
Try using Gmail from Edge and you'll understand why they do this. Google is even more aggressive pushing Chrome than they are with pushing Edge. https://twitter.com/ocdtrekkie/status/1045133702962040832?s=...
just watched it last week. hence increased curiosity about this thread..
I was recently brought onto a project to add a couple of simple screens to an app. Any other react project it would have taken a couple of days so I was surprised the previous estimate was for weeks of development effort. Opened up the hood to find saga, and quickly discovered why it would was weeks of effort.
I've used Hypothesis for years. Very good blog support (plugin for WordPress) and built with WC3 in mind. Very fast support. Great tool.

This is a separate tool, HIBP is still up and running.
The Windows app store also isn't very popular. I'd attribute that less to a sense of fairness and more to a way to drive adoption.

Microsoft has deployed all sorts of carrots and sticks to try to drive more adoption. In the early Windows 10 days, you could secure $500k-$2.5M in services investment even for internal apps at a not so huge scale.

Show HN: A QEMU port for iOS that you can sideload
By that logic, the EU should invade Turkey.
I just quickly downloaded and tried it. It seems like Pharo Smalltalk with a notebook interface, basically a new UI, but Pharo is still there.

If I had time today I would take my old natural language processing Pharo class library and move it over to GT. There are many other great UI’s and visualization frameworks built in Pharo.
I don't see this. I go to https://haveibeenpwned.com and it works just as before (email address only). I am slightly bothered that I can enter anyone's email address and learn something about them tho.
While may be controversial but are legal tools to purchase and own. Regardless of a company specific policy.
You might have seen the preview few months ago. I’ve ported QEMU to iOS complete with JIT support and it can run Windows XP, ArchLinux, etc pretty well on latest Apple hardware (no jailbreak needed!).

Since then we’ve added a console mode, suspend/resume, multitasking, a variety of input options including Magic Keyboard support and a whole lot more. It’s finally stable enough for general use.

Sadly, with current Apple policies regarding code emulation, this will likely never be accepted into the App Store. That is why so many people are wishing for official sideloading support in future iOS releases. Until then, we are distributing UTM with https://altstore.io/, an unofficial sideloading solution for jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices alike. Please share your feedback!
Is this not the tool (in some form) that's integrated with 1password? That one is indeed designed to check password hashes for matches in leaks.
Age and heath is a huge factor in people’s perceived and actual risks. A fit and healthy 25 year old going to the gym regularly is at something like 1% the risk of the average 90 year old. On top the tendency of young people to think themselves invincible and you get wildly different responses from different age groups.

PS: Over 33% of US deaths are from people over 85, 1% are from people under 35.
so it's a hat-calendar. Why is that religious?
umm, that feature is still there. This is for checking if the password you are using has been in any breach or not.

Also, the password doesn't go to the server but its hash goes.

I am sure they left many out. Check Point Software for one.
You're confusing pwned passwords wtih https://haveibeenpwned.com/

As for pwned passwords, it doesn't send the password. The way it works is that you submit the first 5 characters of a hash, and get back a list of all hashes.

You then locally compare the complete hash to see if it is there.

This is cheap. To say "we shouldn't blindly trust this side" doesn't mean "we should blindly trust that side" at all. It just means we shouldn't blindly trust this side. It may well be that we shouldn't trust either side, because both have reasons to lie.
