Nice! I see the whimsical part indeed. I like the owl character (especially its prevalence in https://blog.readme.com/)! Has way more personality than [Alegria](https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/dont-worry-these-gangley-armed-...).

Tell your designers for me to bank on that visual language and stay away from "corporate clip-art". <smallrant>It's funny to me how even start-ups (who claim "personal touch" as an edge in their service) utilize the blandness of Alegria.</smallrant>
Yep, and I know that UARTS still have built in break detection but keyboards don’t have a BREAK key, or any rainbow book style “secure key to signal the computer” function any more. Even the power switches on Mac laptops (and I assume others), phones etc are soft functions.

I haven’t designed an embedded device or serial protocol that used break since, well, ever. That’s why I was tickled to see this.

Edit: just saw your uname — my use of the term “tickled” was coincidental

I'm surprised at how you're handling this. DDG is supposed to be friendly to privacy-aware users. You're dismissing people's valid points and asking them to trust you, just like any other privacy-non-friendly service would do.

Edit: I'm speculating here. But specifically because of the way you've replied here and on Github, my actual level of trust in DDG team went down.
I wonder what they do if you flash a badge at them.
MicroPython is addressing a different problem though: Minimalism wrt. libraries -- opposed to being more "static" in some aspects... In contrast, the author seems to be looking for an "acceptable" core that would still run most libraries -- but omitting some of the more dynamic aspects that are hard to emulate in WebASM....
As someone who has seen way too many robots.txt files that's exactly how you do it.
I hate SUVs with passion. Here in Europe, for long time we basically didn't have any (unless you really go to rough terrain, which 95% of SUVs here never do). Apart from football stars, eastern mafia guys and soccer moms.

It became kind of fashion thingie for those who don't understand cars, or basic physics. Soccer moms love them, since they often don't have good driving skills, it puts them higher so they have better overview of the road (while blocking any view of those behind). Pollution, higher maintenance costs, much higher danger of car rolling during accident (and break your neck) be damned.

Then there is category of these tiny 'SUV' (I think proper term is crossover), which are just bigger shopping carts, being a higher above ground. So from driving perspective, the worst combination - small, badly maneuverable car.

We still have big wagons for those who are numerous / carry around a lot of things. These I prefer - they drive well, trunk space is enormous. Compared to most SUV which look big on the outside, but not so much inside.

You don't seem to understand what the term rent means. It's the act of giving someone temporary access to something and charging based on the amount of time it has been used. That's a pretty useful service if you don't have enough money to outright own your house or apartment.

RPython is relevant. He does mention PyPy, which uses RPython, but I am surprised that he does not mention RPython itself -- a restricted subset of the Python language used for similar purposes to the ones that he describes.

Yeah, and Tesla is not Amazon. Not in any way, shape or form. Amazon is a unique success because it is unique. Tesla is a 15 year unprofitable car maker that has never met its projections or expectations on future profit or revenue.
I like the idea too but, alas, with this many people on the planet it is just not possible to have each family with their own personal aircraft carrier. Also cars are just not built to last. They are consumables and maintaining one for any length of time is significantly more difficult than a building.
Which is not far off the mark. In China there is a pervasive feeling that the reason it is behind in development is due to the Imperialism in the 1800s and the domination of Western powers over China. This developed into some sort of inferiority complex. With economic development they claim that China is no longer the 'sick man of Asia', the shaking off of which imbues them some sort of pride. That pride is the source of support for the CCP, not any inherent properties of the system.
For those who don’t specialize in security, this is not an accepted practice. OWASP is a wiki that anyone with an idea can edit, and there are some bad ones on there.

Fond memories of Novell Netware's BROADCAST command... I discovered it as I was exploring the (then unknown to me) Netware client on Microsoft Windows 3.x, I tried something like BROADCAST "Nuclear strike inbound". Then, in the university's computer lab, I saw some puzzled heads rise and some look askingly at their neighbor... The command had performed as designed: Netware had beautifully, and to my horrified stupefaction, sent the message to the whole network of a large university, with a pop-up on each workstation... I grabbed my bag and got the hell out of there - in the hallway I crossed a sysadmin running in the opposite direction... For a few weeks I made myself very discreet and avoided the computer labs - the sysadmin of course knew and asked me if I had done or noticed anything unusual, which I stupidly denied but he was kind enough to let it pass.

You do realize that when Tesla was valued at $300 in 2017, the projections for its revenue for 2020 were $38 billion and profit of $5 billion? They aren’t even going to reach a light year from that, yet the stock is supposedly now $1000.

2048 neurons per layer isn't really an accurate description, what he means is 2048 dimensional embeddings at each layer. The actual multihead attention layers in a transformer are not just feed forward 2048*2048, but actually have many more parameters. That's why there's 600B total.
What works for me: it's not a problem with tools, but with tactics of communication. Make one person from every company you work with responsible with keeping you in the loop (that doesn't mean to CC you on every mail) and answering your calls when you have doubts; only those two things - not asking for much, right? Make wrap-ups often. Don't read Slack BS, jizz. It's neither pleasant nor valuable. One can spend an entire life in an endless loop of "communication". Slack isn't communication. Real comms has to do with: agreements, negotiation, partnerships (even if temporary ones), taking responsibility. That last one might be the most important one.

And don't attend meetings that aren't absolutely mandatory for you.

Make someone else from the companies you work with to mark your progress on their internal systems however they like to use them, purely based on your to-the-point (calls, mails) communication.

With that approach you can take 5 more customers ;) All of the above sounds kinda crazy, but it's been tested in the battlefield for more than 10 years. Being as pissed as you are, @Op, is the best time to make those changes. Howk!

PS: If someone from you costomers' side isn't OK with that approach - fire the bullshitter. Take one that is going to comply. World is full of morons doing mostly virtue signaling, endless meetings, etc, instead of getting to the point.

> It seems like downloads from Sci-Hub and citations could have a common cause, for example, being interesting to scientists. If Sci-Hub downloads are a good proxy for interest and they happen first, then they could usefully be used to predict citations

So far so good.

> , without necessarily being a cause.

The logic has fallen apart. In order for the downloads not to be a cause, the same citations would have to occur in their counterfactual absence. You're claiming that anyone who downloads a paper from Sci-Hub would, in the absence of Sci-Hub, obtain that paper by other means.

Compare the currently higher-positioned thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23710896 ), where this paper is getting slammed for concluding that limiting the availability of a paper may prevent the research described in that paper from "achieving its full impact". On your analysis, where Sci-Hub downloads are driven by interest from scientists and that explains the entire more-downloads-means-more-citations effect, that conclusion is 100% correct.

The article is saying it's just an option. Don't bother.

If you use a sufficient salt, and a decent hashing algorithm (bcrypt/argon2id), cracking those passwords are impractical for the attacker. If they can do this extremely expensive computational task, an extra pepper reused in all passwords isn't going to add meaningful computational difficulty because the attacker just needs to brute force the secret pepper.

Ok. But going back to the issue. I live in Munich and know at least two big companies who use D in production and organize meetups. I have yet to see a single company that uses Nim.
Even though Rust has manual memory management, I'd say it can be pretty high level due to its functional programming features that are nearly equivalent to Haskell or OCaml.

Well, I just wanted to say that it is definitely possible for native-compiled languages to do things like that, mostly by just bundling up the compiler itself. (Not sure about wasm, but looks like the article is a bit more generic than just about wasm.)

One great example is SBCL, a Common Lisp implementation which only has an compiler, but provides REPL, `eval`, and `compile` functions as per the CL spec.

For the question about the core of Python, I would consider that everything not tied to the external environment as Python. So `locals`, `eval`, `compile` must be provided to be called as a full-fledged Python. On the other hand, I won't include all of the stdlib functions in the definition of Python, like handling the file system or environment variables.

Think about node and the web browser - both are JS runtimes and they share the core language (like `this` or `with`, which provides similar capabilities of `locals`, and `eval`), but provide different stdlibs based on the environment. (Node provides web servers, file server interactions, etc... and the web browser provides APIs to manipulate the DOM, attach event handlers, etc...)
C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate?
The whole point of Roberts Rules of Order is that the membership is in charge. Motions, after being discussed and amended, eventually come down to a vote of the group. That's the basic mechanism of democracy.

Most nonprofit membership organizations in the US were run that way at one time. But since the 1960s, there are more self-perpetuating boards and other schemes for taking control away from the members. So people don't get practice at running a democracy. Which is a problem.

>Find the abstract elsewhere and then use the DOI to find it on Sci-Hub?

That's pretty much it. Suppose you want to read a paper on memes, so you search scholar.google.com for "memes". Then let's say you find https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/etc.10... (I just chose one at random).

Going to the link gives you just the abstract. This one happens to have a full text link, but suppose it didn't. Then you'd go to your favorite sci-hub site (e.g. sci-hub.tw) and paste the URL into the "enter URL..." field, and the paper shows up.
Your "Security harden your mac" guide has a bunch of amazon affiliate links, it would be good to call that out when piggybacking on a post about privacy at least.
Some people buy land to live on indefinitely, with no plans to rent or resell. How would you decide who gets to live in North Beach and who has to commute from San Bruno, if not price?
What do you mean? This response is fine. It’s honest feedback, and it isn’t a personal swipe to say it’s above someone’s pay grade to be responding to a PR crisis as an honest engineer.

I was once an honest engineer too, publicly. Being honest in private is enough for me now. It’s a lesson worth learning.

That said, it’s not like a single HN comment will make or break a company, so if they’re really just a rank-and-file engineer, I hope the company won’t come down on them too hard. A simple “don’t do that” would suffice.
Doubling down is fairly ridiculous when one has to imagine the original reason for doing this was to save on time and engineering for the app by leveraging what DDG had already built, but a mindful response would be that you are aware of the downsides of this approach and you'll be working to change it.

Besides, how do you handle Intranet, VPN sites, and auth-only sites where DDG's god-tier favicon parser in the cloud couldn't fetch the URL anyway?

Wasn't expecting to see Khan revisionism here, but I suppose for every mass murderer there are people who like defending them.
I think this is a great idea and economists have been looking at this for nearly a century now, for example, there is Knut Wicksell's "Pure Credit Economy" from 1919 but not much progress has been made.

There's a nice paper you can read called "money is memory" which argues that keeping track of past transactions is actually a more effective way of allocating resources than using money/tokens. I've been figuring out how such a system would work in practice.

I believe that when we can more effectively and fairly manage reputation in the context of transactions (I'm not advocating some horrid "social credit" system that the Chinese government foisted on the country), then we won't need money anymore. That means no central banks as monopoly issuer of currency and I think the World will be a better place because of it.

Yes, but these things happen. In the 1950s-1970s many young people (at least in America) were obsessed with cars and as soon as they could afford it, they got a car and spent huge amounts of time improving them, rebuilding their engines, etc. When I was a teenager in the 1980s, cars weren't really things to get excited about, but rack-based stereo systems were. We spent hours reading about which turntable, speakers, and amplifier to buy and were constantly in the process of improving their system. By the late 1990s, that had become passe and people either had non-modular stereos or just listened to music on their Walkman (and then iPod, then phone) and didn't have a stereo system at all.
Datawaves doesn't compete with those services. It is used if you want to add analytics for your users. Say your site enables users to create podcasts, Datawaves would enable you to provide those users with charts about the listens over time for example.
I can tell you, you are rather an exception in this mindset.

There are tons of drawbacks in reality compared to romantic idea of 'dragging your whole home with you'. Financially it doesn't make sense. You become a slave of your motor home. It drives like shit.

But far worst for me is, you create your own bubble. You travel, yet want to keep your cozy 'home'. That's completely opposite to why I travel - experience unique, vastly different, exotic places, interact with strangers, other cultures, eat local food etc. Dive deep into the place. This is much more interesting goal of traveling compared to just 'seeing places and staying comfortable'.

You might think we're comparing uncomparable - cruising around rather homogeneous US vs traveling i say South east Asia. Not at all - here in Europe we have such a diversity of cultures that those 'exotic' experiences can be had quite easily with few hundred kms of drive. South is nothing like north, east vs west the same. Every country is pretty unique.
You also shouldn't be transphobic and assume their gender if some of 'them' are also transgender themselves for the sake of absolute 'inclusivity'. /s
