>And would the US still being able to say "national security" if it was fully owned by German business running on servers in some Swiss mountain?

I suppose they could. But I am fairly confident that if tiktok was a German company, this would not be happening. China is reaping what they sew here. On top of getting a taste of their own medicine.

It is unfortunate for the Chinese owners though that they have to pay the price for their government's actions.

I get these sunstars (I hadn't heard that name before) in my normal vision at night. I see them on all the street lights and car headlights.

Is that normal or does it indicate some sort of problem?

If I were to ask an optician about it, what words should I use to explain the problem? Would they know what a "sunstar" is? Is it different to "lens flare"?
> I don’t like this and I want to tell someone.

I'm sure this is meant to come across as maybe slightly tongue-in-cheek, and is also meant to provide users an outlet they feel they can vent in productively, but... it reads as dismissive, and leaves me with the impression that they don't actually care to hear any feedback.

The idea is not to test model code at all - the blog post explicitly mentions that this as an anti-pattern.

The tests aren't concerned with the technical details at all - they should test whether the models work, not how.

MVP “Geolocalized Open Data”, done Now, time to improve it with your suggestions
It's easy to forget that grad school is the start of a career rather than the summit, so the work just has to be publishable, not earth-shattering.

Most nobel/turing/fields level work doesn't happen while the researcher is still in graduate school, because a) it usually benefits from additional experience, knowledge, and resources and b) it can sometimes take years to complete.

It also might not be obvious to a dissertation committee (or anyone else) how field-changing certain work actually is until many years have passed, and they might dismiss it early on. Consider Tim Berners-Lee, who was actually a Physicist but received the Turing award because the web (and HTTP/HTML) turned out to have much greater impact than predecessors like FTP, NNTP, PLATO, HyperCard, Director, Xanadu, Intermedia, Gopher, AOL, etc..

Another reason that more mundane research tends to work better is that groundbreaking work is often hard to publish (and get support/funding for), particularly if it isn't completely solid and seems to contradict or supersede established theory or practice.

However, if you are choosing between multiple projects that all seem doable within the allotted time frame, picking the one with higher positive impact on the field (and/or elsewhere) may be a good approach.
I understood the it more as a call for a test-first methodology than detailed instructions.

A blog series on the details would be great, though!
I looked into JUCE a while back when I was keen to find a good cross-platform UI solution but was put off by the licensing aspects that seemed more complex/onerous than even Qt's. YMMV.
Side Hustle- You can do it
I didn't get into blogging for a "Side Hustle" at all. I simply started to write posts for my own personal benefit. I initially started writing to create a wiki like online Kb for myself. When I first started it was strictly technical. I got a kick out of people from time to time emailing me on how they were stuck and how my blog helped them.

Then I started writing random bits on IT Consulting and the industry. I noticed that those posts had a ton more views. I continued to randomly post about the IT industry as a whole. I had a post about IT Sales meetings and how you should never take them for granted.

A couple days after this I was contacted by MSP 360/Cloudberry. They found my blog as I posted it to a subreddit for MSP's. They asked me if I wanted to create and write content for their blog. I negotiated a price and have been producing content for them every month.

Since June 2020 I've created 3 Blog Posts, 1 Whitepaper, 1 Content pack- 2 Blog posts, PowerPoint Presentation, 2 email templates, and a Brochure. I'm currently working on more posts for them and will continue to do so.

How can you do this? If this is something you are interested in, start a blog, write articles, and put yourself out there on social media. This doesn't mean just simply spam out links, etc. Whenever I send a link in Reddit or LinkedIn, I always do a small write up on what the article/post is and how it provides some value to those who might be reading it.

Another piece of advice I have is to check out some vendors you'd like to work with and see if you can connect with their social media marketing director. Most of these vendors are looking for people who can write blogs and produce content.

My current project is Making IT Happen. It's a guide that helps people get into IT and succeed long term. Check it out and feel free to engage with me on Twitter or through my site.

Good luck!

Compsci education is more focused on theory. Your prof is more likely to come from old-school corporate dev or 90s startups and probably has jaded views towards much of this new stuff like a lot of the passionate "designers and tinkerers" do nowadays

I'd bet this doctrine is probably being promulgated by the non-academics at trade schools and boot camps
Fun historical fact, it's from this aphorism that the proverb "measure twice cut once" comes from, because confusion can be supplanted by repetition.

> Linus can reject that same driver from being merged to the upstream master copy if he wants.

You really missed the point. Yes, anybody can maintain a fork, but Linus still has to make the judgement on whether to add such a driver to Linux. And making such a call is a big deal, it means he and the kernel developers are committing to maintaining it (to some degree) and makes it easier for North Korea to keep it up to date and functioning. And Linus's tree is the tree people get their Linux Kernel from, just because forks exist does not mean he doesn't need to think about what he adds to his. Linus is a "moral gatekeeper" whether he wants to be one or not, and in some cases he has to answer such questions, the only relevant part is how he chooses to answer them.

> Software that is morally gatekept by its creator is not free (as in freedom) software. I value freedom more than I value "preventing harm" or whatever you're worried about. The whole world is trending toward less freedom (of speech, etc.) in the name of "preventing harm" which I think is a big mistake.

These are two completely different things. There's a big difference between "I'm not going to prevent you from writing X" and "Here's X, it's only used by you and I wrote it or I'm keeping it up to date for you". That was the whole point of the example questions I gave. At some point it's not just some theoretical boogeyman, at some point you are aiding those who are doing things you don't consider OK. Just because they can fork Linux doesn't mean Linus has no responsibility for what he puts into his fork and develops.

> I value freedom more than I value "preventing harm" or whatever you're worried about.

And what's your point? Refusing to develop software or maintain software for someone is expressing freedom, I would argue that very thing is what will protect freedom from various nefarious actors. Or do you suggest such people (like Linus) should just blindly develop whatever they're told without any concern for what the results may be?

The real irony here is that some of the software I'm talking about is software that is currently restricting the freedom of people across the world. And I can guarantee you that some of the people who go on Hacker News help develop it, and justify it via "It's not my responsibility, it's just code and I get paid to do it" - and that shouldn't be acceptable to them or us. My whole point is that they should have a higher standard and realization of the affect the code they write has on other people, and I think we're actually in agreement on this part.
How to Roll Half a Dice
No you've missed the distinction. In all cases the domain and range are R (you can fill in a value at 0, it doesn't matter which). See the MathWorld page which leaves the definition intentionally ambiguous:

"A function or curve is piecewise continuous if it is continuous on all but a finite number of points at which certain matching conditions are sometimes required."

Emphasis added.

It's shown up in Vista and some other Windows versions since that. I though they used it fairly tastefully, but I'm not a Windows user so haven't spent much time looking at it. Apple currently has the blur radius so high they have to exaggerate the saturation to make the effect noticeable, which looks OK but I prefer a more optically realistic level of blur.
They've absolutely crippled 1password to make local vaults as difficult to buy and use as possible. They don't roll out updated versions as often, many versions don't get support for local vaults for years, they make it nearly impossible to buy the non-subscription version, and you can no longer upgrade older licenses to use new versions.

Their entire business model is really sleazy and they've gone out of their way to alienate people who don't want to pay for a subscription and hosting service for something as simple and secure as locally encrypting passwords. I was a loyal customer for a long time but after a few years of them jerking non-subscribers around, I got tired of it and tell any friends and family to stay away from it.

Every company that has moved to a subscription and cloud-based product has essentially traded a one time $30-50 license to getting that (or more) every year, and the product is usually inferior from my experience.
Simply compare with nitter.net to see how the exact same content can easily be presented in a simple, lean, fast way.
Absolutely, I do think it is an overestimate. The angle of the video makes it hard to accurately estimate the size of the ball, and as you rightly pointed out an epsilon difference in size gives epsilon^5 differences in energy, so size estimates are extremely important.

Their new iPad Pro took a big step in that direction with the keyboard, but it still doesn't have macos and mac apps.

Not sure whether they'd position it more as a "Macbook Touch" or "iPad Mac"...
So sad to see this blatant money-grabbing behavior. It's not even a new story. It's so calculated and transparent, the way they toyed with the release date and now have pulled this from nowhere.

Those of us who have been paying monthly to stream Star Wars surely deserve a break here, Disney? Aren't we gotten already?
> Even crypto exchanges allow recovery if you lose all traditional recovery

Yes, and Crypto exchanges are a paid product so they would be able to provide this additional support.
It has, and I use, the mono version. Also, ive seen decent arguments in support of non monospace, as it makes typos of text that should be the same, but isn't, more aparrent when on adjacent lines. But I've been using mono for a while and never had an reason to try non-mono
To be fair, as someone who doesn't know what it is, I clicked "Watch Video" on Spark website and that video did not show me what it is and how to use the product but rather some nonsense-story. Story creator website showed me exactly how the app looks like and how to use it right away without having me to click anything. Awesome work, bookmarking it for future use!

Jiu Jitsu Kids What You Should Know

President Trump(And other world leaders) commented about 3 hours ago on this issue.

So the fact it's now made a headline is I guess your horse not mine.

And authorities do know what exploded, and have made statements. The initial fire is still uncertain.

This story was also on HN earlier and Flagged, because of complicated reasons, but it still probably shouldn't have been.
Motion Array is great. I followed some of your video tutorials. Lets talk.
If it returns "probably a match", you can just look up with HN directly, like it does now.
I think it might be more accurate to say that some people have more trouble distinguishing mild curiosity from "I should do that thing."

And I don't mean that in a demeaning way at all. If anything, such folks have found a middle path in life. At opposite extremes, you have folks who actually have to go do all those things versus those who can squelch their own interest in nearly anything by merely thinking about it for a few moments...
As somebody down on the ground on this: it's true. The backend on CalREDIE is a message passing system common in HIEs called Rhapsody. It's essentially a capacity problem, and there is no real redundancy for messages that got dropped, so the issue was probably always present but didn't really become noticeable until the recent surge. The state has escalated the problem to the vendor, since a large number of California counties rely on it.
You might have astigmatism. A simple examination will tell you. When I put on my first pair of prescription glasses in my early 20s, I was astonished at how different everything looked, and how so many weird optical effects like starbursts/sunstars slowly crept up on me such that I didn't realize my vision had changed so drastically. (The period between my last eye examine in adolescence and when I sought help for night driving was also the period I discovered computers and Linux and long nights hacking.)
This looks like a page that people would find after they lose access to their account permanently. There's a lot of CYA language here. Maybe they should have this at signup for MFA or force people to read next time they login.
Sure, but all of those could be addressed by allowing setting available-for criteria rather than browse-and-select.

Or they could just not display tips in advance; since tips can be altered after delivery, it's misleading to treat them as part of the bargain of accepting a delivery anyway, advance entry should be viewed as a convenience for the orderer to enter a default amount based one expected service, not an inducement.

If the tips aren't visible in advance, bots can't snatch “lucrative” orders, because they can't find them.
Wow saw that video, maybe someone got into their API?

What if someone from a non-USA location started selling access to the best batches in prime USA locations e.g. SF/LA/SEA/NYC/DC then we could start trading and packaging up those batches and trading on them in crypto exchanges, maybe even make a new coin?

Also having someone put in a SSN is not any kind of verification if you’re trying to subcontract out to people not in the country legally/documented. The ssn algorithm is known and it is easy to generate, it just don’t get fixed because politics.

The policy here in New Zealand is that ALL travelers must quarantine in a managed facility for 14 days after arrival.

COVID tests on day 3 and day 12.

Reports have indicated that a fair number of people appear symptom free, but then test positive on day 3.

Of the people that test negative on day 3, some then later test positive on day 12. I'd imagine this percentage would be even higher if they did the first test on day 1

Goes to show that if we just did a single test we'd be allowing enough COVID positive people through the gates to re-ignite the pandemic. You need multiple tests over a time period

Totally agree. I don't like it when the responses are "they should rot in prison" because so many people have done less and been in prison forever. We need to severely reduce sentencing in this country - across the board - for everyone, especially the minorities and impoverished that have borne the brunt of our ridiculous school to prison pipeline.
I generally support not resetting MFA credentials, and understand where Gitlab is coming from, but wish there were an easier way for the average user. I think that easier way is getting two FIDO2 keys (they're pretty cheap and will get cheaper), and have one on your keychain and one at home, as a backup.
The latest versions of 1Password still support locally stored vaults. They only sell the cloud service subscription these days, but you can still use local/Dropbox vaults on every platform. (except for Linux it seems)
I'd argue if you take data and misuse it for profit, you should get a higher danger than a slap on the wrist.

Difficult to a newskool kiddos fresh out of bootcamp that can't wrap their heads around complexity, maybe.

In my experience it's the frontend frameworks that make for worse code. Callback soup is downright simple and easy-to-follow compared to some of the atrocities that React et al have wrought.

I'm wrapping up a long sabbatical and am hunting for interesting projects. To be clear, my skillset is a mashup of product, accounts/sales, operations, and coding. I'm competent around memory & CPU architectures - to a point.

So... not your typical hire. I'm one of those people you plug into an org's gaps between the silos. The ideal situation is being the "red team" when you need somebody to peck your operations until it hurts. :-)
