Everything is easy and obvious in retrospect. If you wonder how they missed something as simple as PK size.

As part of maturity model, every product should have periodic milestones base on their scale where engineers should reassessment their infrastructure and the choices they made earlier. But, you can always overlook things unless you have a checklist for everything.
No, that's not what I suggest. Nobody other than you is talking about nazis here.
From the pdf:

As the ASAP has pointed out previously, SpaceX and Boeing have very different philosophies in terms of how they develop hardware. SpaceX focuses on rapidly iterating through a build-test-learn approach that drives modifications toward design maturity. Boeing utilizes a well-established sys- tems engineering methodology targeted at an initial investment in engineering studies and analysis to mature the system design prior to building and testing the hardware. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages.

Basically this is a big win for "Agile" (which is about as losely defined as possible now)
Long ago, I played around with a simple Newtonian gravity simulator, because playing billiards with a solar system is fun, etc. And I noticed that orbits precessed proportionally to the size of the time step.

I was momentarily like "I wonder if this means quantization of time could be an alternative explanation for the precession of Mercury" before it became clear that it just wasn't a very good algorithm, and the amount of precession vs. time step was way too large to be consistent with reality.

I wonder though, if you can take the hypothetical minimum time as in the article and come up with a precession figure that would be potentially measurable on some natural object.
Sounds like a very fundamental work!
New drivers and much more likely to crash then experienced ones.

Doing these is realiable only if it is matter of habit and you do them automatically, without thinking about it. If you have to focus on it, you will forget about it.

Same with evaluating who goes first on intersection without lights. You should not go through the whole "wait he is from right, but the other is turning ..." you should look at it and know.

It doesn’t make sense that they could tweet from people’s accounts and get away with it for hours from a moderation panel like that. I don’t buy it.
So it’s peer-to-peer but running through a relay?

If it is we do something similar for https://dotbigbang.com although it still requires careful game design and engineering to work with worst case latency.

You can see this in action with our swarm game Straits of Danger where random viewers from chat and Day[9] streaming are hooked together through our regular infrastructure.

I spent some time trying Snorkel (the open source version) and its predecessor DeepDive.

It was extremely complicated to get it to do anything beyond the demos, and I was never successful to get it to do anything useful.

I ended up implementing some of the ideas myself, but I can't say I had any great success.

Valuable Benefits of a Back Office Automation System
Not an expert here, but this is what I do and enjoy: you need just 4 exercises: push, pull, legs, abs.

Push: work towards 1 arm, 1 leg pushups

Pull: pullups on a bar (not chinups) Some people can do a 1 arm pullup but I'm far from that.

Legs: work towards pistol ups (=1 leg squads)

Abs: ab roller and/or leg ups with feet touching top of bar

The first 3 are the top of their class. For abs you can choose from a lot of different ones (dragon flag etc.)

I'm getting older (41), so I shifted from 3 times a week going all out, to every day training while not pushing myself to the extreme.
If I had to guess, it was an internal job from a disgruntled employee with access to hijack users’ email address. Change their email address, reset password, open the email and then you can login. They might also need access to change the 2FA phone number if it was set.
It would surprise me if a lot of Twitter support people had access to tools that allowed them to post tweets as another user. That's not functionality that should be available to a Twitter support person.
Feedback about writing quality has been hard for me to address. This video clearly explains the difference between the way students learn to write and the way we should write in the "real world". The ideas are easy to apply and, in hindsight, embarrassingly obvious.

But nobody in Nevada thinks that it is a country. And there is no pretence that its government is free to negotiate international matters (let alone run an army, have its own language, or even hold a referendum on abortion).

Yes, I think the degree to which this thing is a super-state (or at least claims to be one) not a trade club is not fully appreciated. Not least by the voters in whose name it was created. It's in some gray area between a federal state and a treaty, and cases like this are illuminating as to precisely what shade of gray.
It's quite satisfying to see that the rule of law is alive and well in the EU.
In theory there is EU regulation so all EU banks should expose this. I'm not sure where it went in practice though.
I worked on EVE at the time this was done, although not on Time Dilation itself. It’s really even more interesting because EVE is written with Stackless Python. The team also outs out a lot of technical blogs about the features including TiDi so rather than explain it I can let the guy who wrote it do so from the past.

Having access to some is not the same as having access to all. Rate limiting , or restricting to ones I am managing and approval processes are pretty easy . It does not like Twitter is doing any of that .
It's really strange to claim it was "simultaneous" account hacking instead of Twitter being hacked. I guess all journalism today has 50% opinion in the middle.
The debate is low carbon vs high carbon (if we all agree that climate change is the number #1 pbm).
And, never took pills. I think he said he didn’t take his first aspirin till he was thirty.
Maybe Trump was protected, his tweets can certainly move markets. And while it's possible to track investments in smaller stocks, someone buying futures or ETFs on large indices to profit from that would likely be able to stay anonymous. There are way too many trades in S&P500 on a given day to find the one that sticks out.

I'm sure at some point the TP pipeline got reworked to shift away from commercial production and towards consumer sized rolls.
I used to smoke, about 4 years ago gave up almost completely. I never smoke (or drink) 99% of the time, but when I'm on holiday I always buy a pack of cigarettes and also I'll generally have a smoke and chat with my brother when he's over.

Of course it's better if I never smoke, but I don't personally have a problem with having cigarettes occasionally. I'm lucky in that I can smoke for a week and then get home from holiday and not be interested in smoking at all.
Regarding #1, my thinking was this is China or their allied nations (North Korea, Iran etc). The US has taken extremely forceful steps on China in the last couple of days. This could be their response; discrediting a huge piece of the American crown jewels (big tech companies) and making it a laughing stock.

Just the massive blast radius of the hack reminded me of the NK Sony hack and release of documents. Big up yours to Hollywood from Kim Jong.
no you're right. The idea doesn't work at all.
Of course, the states take so many taxes from its citizens that most of them cannot afford private education or healthcare, they are forced to the monopolistic public services, which are usually more expensive than their private counterparts. I'm not arguing that the states don't give us anything in return for the massive taxes they force upon us, but that what the society as a whole gets in return is much less than what they would get if the state let them had their money instead to spend as they saw fit.

There is another poison pill hidden in the public services: because they look free to the economically untrained eye people tend to overuse and overconsume them. That's why you see so many college graduates in careers that end up having no work use, thus becoming wasted human capital. If people had to pay for their education they would see the costs up front and be more efficient with their decisions.
On an average day?

Mode: On a typical day <<-- most common meaning for average in day to day conversation

Mean: On a day that is in the calculated middle (for some variance) <<-- most common meaning when we think the question is about math

Median: On a day that is the middle for all the possible days <<-- nobody thinks of this, but they think this is what the mean is.
Social engineering could be very easy from within the US, e.g. if you're the neighbour of a Twitter rep working from home and can talk them into handing you their phone for a few minutes. From outside the US it's much harder, esp since an accent could make social engineering via phone less effective.

If Twitter uses the same 2FA internally as they do for customers it'd be pretty easy to take over a support account if you know of the location of an employee.
Google maps in the browser should work, no?
So the infamous "shadow ban" actually does exist on Twitter, based on this screenshot. I remember them actively denying this two years ago when a wave of shadow ban incidents hit German news.
We have a pretty solid roadmap to fusion power plants. ITER and DEMO don't have tremendous risks attached to them. But funding has been insufficient for fast progress. Funding is also insufficient for fast parallel exploration of non-tokamak designs.

The real question is whether fusion will ever be economically competitive with renewables+storage.

Because for all we know , it is not them posting this tweet and is the attackers . How can you trust it is them when the attack clearly showed any account can be manipulated.

This kind of compromised messaging is not unknown while being attacked , when browserstack got hacked few years back, the attackers send official email to all customers whose emails they got in the leak saying the company was shutting down.
It doesn’t make sense that they’d let it go on like that and play whack-a-mole with the tweets for hours. I don’t buy it.
If past cases are any indication they're just super proud it works and at some point will want to tell someone to get validation. That's when they'll get caught.

I don't get that 1 based indexing debate in regard to LUA and Julia. Both came up recently on hackernews.

In LUA you can use the metatable functionality to implement 0 based indexes.

In Julia you can overload the array access operation too. There a packages which allow zero based indexing. Or even StarWars based indexing including the machete viewing order. https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl
Julia's array interface has has functionality what the first/last index is, so you can use it in other peoples code. If they haer coded 1 as first index just make a pull request to fix it.

Doing many repetitions with light weights will elicit a different physiological adaptation than doing few repetitions with heavy weights. In particular, your body will become better at lifting light weights for many reps, but you won't get necessarily stronger. If your goal is to get stronger, you want to train by lifting increasingly heavier weights (progressive overload). Any other training strategy, is less efficient, for the purpose of getting stronger, or simply ineffective.
I don't really see a hard distinction between meat memory and silicone memory, so I've never bothered to memorize stuff that I could simply lookup. To me, it seems almost ridiculously inefficient to carry around large amounts of indepth data in your brain, which is limited, costs constant energy to maintain, and isn't even particularly good when it comes to fidelity of recollection and searchability.

It's much more efficient to remember the general shape of problems, to remember where you can find further information (books, chapters, etc). Remembering that something is a well-studied problem, and where to find a solution, is straight-up more efficient than remembering that solution.

Dijkstra once remarked that trying to make a computer act like a human brain was far less interesting than seeing what the limits are of a computer as something that is unlike a human brain. It seems the reverse observation is also true - human brains, once freed from rote memorization and computation (that's literally what programming does to us), can tackle much larger, more interesting, and more complex problems.
What's causing it is clear: the community is divided and people have different opinions. This has been the case for a long time, so it's no sudden inrush. There's natural fluctuation, so it sometimes can feel that way.

I posted about this a lot in the last couple of days. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23835613 and the subthread underneath it (which you'll have to uncollapse). You can find other explanations at:

The evidence is extremely clear, by the way. If we'd found any undue influence, we'd say so, but the private data confirms what's already clear from the public record (if you look at other users' commenting histories): people just disagree. The voting patterns don't show anything that the commenting patterns don't.
The last one is really funny to me in a slapstick way and anti-flapping sounds like a really appropriate term.
The same guy used to use his connection/social engineering to overtake "nice" twitter handles and resell them for money. He just got too greedy.

I don't think there is something super nefarious involved. Probably some unpaid intern in a third world country where Twitter outsources tech support.
Thing is, end-exclusive ranges go hand-in-hand with zero-based indexing. I don’t think I need to link the EWD article.
I think we are in agreement that skipping over large chunks of input is rarely a good idea. In Section 7 ("Using error recovery in practice") we show how you can make fine-grained decisions about what to do when recovery has happened in our Rust parsing system. The more fine-grained you go, the more code you have to write, but it allows you to do exactly the sorts of things that rustc does with structs if you want. https://softdevteam.github.io/grmtools/master/book/errorreco... is a more approachable version of the same stuff.
It is not required for them to send , people could have sent to them sensitive stuff.

There is a bit of romanticism about hacking here, things are way more boring than you would think. Likely that some process on the authentication process at twitter was broken and someone took advantage to have a laugh.

Hijacked the authentication cookies and injected into the app that skips validation for performance. Likely nobody got access to the accounts themselves but just allow them to tweet some jokes.

When in Rome....
In February this year I had a flue with complications,which was followed by a bacterial infection. It was so bad that every time I was caughing, I thought my ribcage will explode and my head will pop. I was caughing so much that for a few days I was going through a box of tissues each night. It took 2 weeks to pull out of it. Then I thought for myself that next time I may not be that lucky with my lungs and stopped smoking immediately. I feel so much better now.
It's the only difference in ingredients.

But the difference is a world apart.

The best example is rye bread, which won't develop a crumb without sour dough.

Concerning the fodmaps, it is the usually longer fermentation that reduces those.
I've set up systems where I chose 32bit int because I could've never imagined to need more than 4 billion values. AT some points I did (related to deletes) but changing the datatype when you have >1bn records can be next to impossible for 24/7 operations, especially for primary keys.
I describe this as known-unknown vs unknown-unknown (credit to Donald Rumsfeld)

Unknown unknowns:
The things that you don't know are possible and thus don't even know how to start solving. You will accidentally reinvent the wheel, most likely very badly. Or give up right away.

Known unknowns:
An experienced developer most likely unconsciously knows (has read on HN/Reddit/Book/Blog some time in the last 20 years) that a thing they encounter has been solved already, at least partially.

This allows them to start searching for the answer with a few key words, because they know it's possible but don't know how it can be done.

Same comes with having a network of people who know different things, I know the bare minimum about professional pentesting, but I know a few people who I are absolute pros in the field.

What confuses me is that CPU starvation caused crashes. Sure, too few CPU ressources should cause a slow down but the database process itself shouldn't crash as a result. I haven't dealt with MySQL that much but at least for Postgres, I've never seen 100% load to cause a node to fail.

What does it actually do? I know "label data" but anything can do that.

Is it just a pipeline system with some helpers for running a couple of ML related functions?

Is it UI based?

Where do you run it?

I know these areas well and got nearly nothing from reading the splash page on the site.
It's actually an error I've seen multiple times in the past, and I'm not even working with databases full time. I do think it's surprising that no one had thought of implementing at least checks for these conditions.
That's another downside of the system: learning that is too much effort, unless they land in your team. But knowing how we hire only obviously overqualified people, I trust he did well.
The nature of Open Source means that any interested party contributes to the project the features it is interested in.

Apple is interested in running Swift on OSX and iOS.
Goolge is interested in running Swift on Linux servers to do to Machine Learning.

Windows support has to come from whomever is interested in it. Neither Apple nor Google have a big interest in that.

Same with other stuff. I, for example, am interested in using Swift with GTK+. I don't expect Apple or Google to work on that.
