I don't know if such things are used on passenger aircraft, but I've heard that fighter jets use time domain reflectometry to detect potential faults in wires, and how far along the wire the fault lies. Even a small nick in the insulation is supposed to change the impedance enough to create a detectable reflection.

At least some gigabit ethernet interfaces have built in weaker TDR that measures the length of each twisted pair, but I've only ever had one computer that showed that info in the BIOS/UEFI.

So, maybe if TDR is used for inspection, we can rest assured.

Yeah, I saw (pre-covid) it all the time at the gym, at amateur sports leagues, and at health food stores. It's also worth noting that my zipcode also has a significantly lower obesity rate than the national average. If I were to go to an Alabama Walmart the fit & muscular people people would be much more uncommon.

Most pardons involve process though. Felons apply for a pardon, there's a small board to review applications, most are rejected -- that sort of thing. But the President can pardon anyone, at any time, for any Federal crime they have been charged with, before during or after trial (if convicted).
In what ways will you say Go is simpler than Nim? I did try out Go but found it a bit difficult. Maybe would need to spend some more time.
That is a good first approximation, but the situation described in one of your siblings is a good example of a "local" action that moderators are not in charge of, so the split isn't that exact.

You’re going to fail so don’t stress so much about finding the perfect thing first. If you want to make a business to replace your job you’ll need to learn how to run a business. So do anything first that you can motivate yourself to do.

Set aside a couple grand for business expenses (hosting, compute, marketing, and freelance costs for work you outsource). Follow the first idea that you would want to succeed even if you find no one else wants it.

The Boring Company And Musk said they’d be willing to make Subway tunnels, too.

Turns out Teslas are cheaper per passenger seat than a subway car plus have less requirement for specialized infrastructure (rails, etc). So if TBC is gonna be doing the whole project, they intend to use Teslas. It’s not a bad engineering choice. With automation (not hard in a tunnel), can achieve similar throughput as a Subway.
We ran on AppEngine from launch to exit, great experience. Never had to worry about configurations, environments, maintenance, reliability, scalability etc. We just focused on building our product.

For monetization - maybe start with ads and add a https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ link or similar? I'm not convinced subscriptions would work, since I imagine that a lot of people need a gradient once and that's it, but you can always ask people.

In terms of feature suggestions:

- I like the edit colors feature - but can you make it global? i.e. I have my colors in mind, and want to see with various gradients.

- Can you convert this to code for non-CSS apps? For example, Flutter has a LinearGradient class that it seems like most of these should translate to in a straightforward way.
Yes, seems I didn’t catch an autocorrect. Thank you.
Great points. The bits of cython I've used are solid.
Having any infrastructure controlled by a publicly traded corporation has enormous historical precedent to lead to the dissolution of that infrastructure for shareholder profit.

Once Google feels comfortable with doing so not allowing arbitrary routing in Chrome will be on the table to control what websites people visit. The only things stopping that is a feeble threat of state intervention or the threat of competition in the browser space reclaiming market share as a result.

They can, and probably will, take Chrome wholly proprietary at some point. Microsoft kowtowing to their engine is in their favor for now, but long term its in their business interests that Microsoft not have a browser anymore. That they present Chrome as the only option to users.

We can mire in the details of what a browser is, but for 99% of people Chrome is a program you run that shows you the stuff you want. The http, html, etc underpinnings are totally irrelevant. Chrome could be doing anything as long as it were showing the content the user of it expects. Google has already done this in the past with things like SPDY. I'm sure standards realize this - its why http/2 was a thing after all - that at this point if Google creates a new protocol it is de-facto required to become a standard because that is the only way for alternative browsers to keep pace with Chrome.

As such Google gets to dictate the future of hypertext. Not the users of the platform, not standards bodies formed to collaborate, the board of directors of a publicly traded US company.
Is there a list of software/services supporting this somewhere? (It's an easy mistake to make, but I find that difficult with many "standards" websites - how do I judge if this is actually in practical use, and if yes in what fields?)
They will care only if the users complain, which is my point. It's probably easier for them to care about a handful of users than for google.
I disagree, and judging by relative popularity so do most people. I guess the onus is on you to prove that it's not even close.
@toast0, @lazulicurio, both of your points seem to illustrate the complexities of the languages, not "...that Unicode is a flawed idea" as the original poster said. AFAIKS this is intrinsic complexity showing itself and does not make any indication of how it should be done correctly, or better.
Not really. Most likely the artist is responsible for doing their own paperwork and taxes.
They can also remove that integration any moment they like, by revoking an app ID. Very likely they'll be able to find a paragraph in their developer program T&C they can claim was violated by GP.
Show HN: Popcorn GIF Search
I built Popcorn GIF Search website as well as the Chrome, Firefox and Edge extensions few years ago with the primary goal of making it easier to put GIFs in Github comments/PRs (using the "copy markdown" feature). I've shared with co-workers people also use it to drag GIFs directly into emails. I've built it to be as fast as possible, a clean UX, and no ads.

I recently rewrote the entire project in React so I could publish the website version and make it easier to update/add features: popcorngifsearch.com but the extension is the best way to use it - it's way easier to drag from the popup into emails and it can be opened using Ctrl+G.

I'd love feedback, feature requests, and ideas on how to get more users.

- Register allocation choices

- Instruction ordering choices

The products I see with a plea like this tend to be difficult to set up or use for some reason or other. I always assumed that they have a higher than usual return rate and are trying to reduce that by asking people to call them for support.
Bing integrates with AMP and serves pages from their own AMP cache as well. Maybe DuckDuckGo doesn't, but that's on them. Your content is absolutely not at the mercy of the one search engine unless you decide G is the only search engine that exists.

The search engine does serve your page from a CDN (for free, by the way) that they own, but don't forget it's their perogative to even rank you at all. They are a private company, not a public utility.
Could you tell us how you use it?

Yes, I remember A86 documentation saying it did that to every program it assembled, to watermark that A86 was used to assemble it.

Honestly, I'm confused as to why Amazon -- or any retailer -- is responsible for injury from defects in the products they sell in the first place.

Why is it the retailer's responsibility, rather than the manufacturer's responsibility?

No store has the expertise to independently conduct safety testing of every item they sell. That would be ludicrous, whether you're a mom & pop store with 1,000's of items or Amazon itself with 1,000,000's of items. Plus it would be incredibly redundant.

What is the justification for this law at all?

(And if you say it's for international products, then the onus should be on the importer who takes responsibility on behalf of the manufacturer.)

EDIT: virtually every comment that has replied so far is talking about defects, warranty, etc. But that's not with this article is about -- it's about liability for INJURY which is a very different thing. It makes total sense that if a product doesn't work, you return it to the store and not the manufacturer. But if a product is dangerous I still fail to see how it makes any sense to make retailers liable rather than manufacturers. If you get a batch of improperly made baby formula that makes your baby sick... shouldn't the onus be 100% on the manufacturer? In what universe is a retailer expected to be liable for that? How would they ever know? If Nestle makes a bad batch... what good is it to go around suing Amazon, FreshDirect and 1,000 other local supermarkets? Shouldn't there just be a class-action suit against Nestle?
This software is a piece of magic...

I've seen this info in the Realtek NIC diagnostic tool for windows (on one machine, anyway), and I've got a couple of semi-managed switches that show a line length estimate which I assume is based on similar measurements.

There's a cultural difference and a technological difference. The cultural difference is that TikTok is a more aspirational platform. It isn't just for short gags. People use TikTok hoping to get famous for their singalongs or whatever else they use the platform for. Even if they don't really believe they'll become famous, there's something thrilling about the performance to them (this enhances the voyeuristic experience for the target audience). Vine was not as performative. It was like a short format America's Funniest Home Videos.

The technological difference, which may be underappreciated, is the AI/ML enabled discovery feed. TikTok learns what you like very quickly as you mindlessly scroll through infinite reels of content.
You are probably right. I forgot about the whole power of two thing for ffts. That would definitely irritate the same part of my brain that would be put off by interpolating discrete samples even if they're inaudible. Same vein as how 7 is more random than 6.
Einstein Summation in Deep Learning (2018)
I love Reddit, it’s one of the sites I spend hours a day on.

Out of curiosity I went to an on-site interview there, because it would be fun to work at a site I felt so strongly about. I was never more turned off from working at place as I was when I went. They weren’t horrible at all, but there was this level of arrogance that I didn’t enjoy, plus a level of complete unreadiness. Some of the teams I talked to were completely understaffed and the “old timers” felt detached. It seemed like they aren’t solving the problems that users want solved, and are driven by this alternate goal of “increasing engagement” even though they are one of the top sites on the Internet. Instead of making subreddits easier for moderators to manage and make better, they are taking an orthogonal route that benefits them but doesn’t help the real content creators on Reddit. It was very disappointing.

I got an offer but it was a “take it or leave it” one, so I left it.
Thanks for the clarification. I notice that "brew cask install osquery" installs a package. It would be helpful to get some instructions on what to do next.

It's neat but (a) it's not a reproducive example as it mostly about the stack and not the computations, (b) you would probably just use Numba for any serious one-liner speeding up in Python (at least for scientific-like computations) and gain cffi, simd, vectorization, interoperatiblity with numpy, typed containers, etc.

For anyone following this, here I am 12 hours later after having dined on a relatively low-carb meal with some sweet potatoes and a couple of small bites of the wife's dessert of crème brûlée. I've yet to have breakfast and did some low to moderate intensity cycling this morning. My BHB is 1.6 mmol/dL, definitive signs of nutritional ketosis with very little effort on my part.
By that same token, we should never discuss your pet issue (legally guaranteed job protections) nor other issues (racial inequality, political polarization, etc) and every conversation about it should immediately digress to the worst problems: genocide, disease, starvation, mass poverty, child soldiers, sexual slavery, etc etc. Of course, this is nonsense and it violates HN guidelines about staying on topic. Further, it prevents us from making any progress on issues that are relatively easily remedied (repealing the problematic Title IX guidance) until these huge issues are resolved. So please, let's stay on topic and recognize that there is no inherent conflict between staying on topic and prioritizing problems appropriately.

With both Rust and Python you have "access" to C FFI. (Not the C++ out of the box but there's some projects out there that make it work)
I remember that one assembler claimed to do something similar to sort of watermark the binaries. From what I remember it did it only in the otherwise fully functional unregistered version to encourage people to pay for it. From my memory it was NASM but I cannot find anything about it ever being paid for. Does anyone remember a shareware assembler from mid nineties that did this?

EDIT: Another comment already mentioned A86. Probably that was the one.
To me the benefit of static types is more about providing help as I type. Anything that can make the error appear as early as possible as well as provide suggestions that makes sense makes me so much more efficient.

I agree and for these reasons won't be the one to try it.

It's funny (in a sad way) but even for my friends who own restaurants, where I'd be more than happy to give them free hosting or help them upload stuff or whatever, they don't see anything other than FB as worth the effort even to just keep track of.

Obviously that's not universally true, plenty of places (especially higher-end ones, and ones with significant delivery business) have dedicated web sites that are kept up to date.
Yeah, he really did, that wasn't awesome.
My main gripe with Nim is that documentation (even for the standard library!) is in absolute shambles. Not to mention the lack of an ecosystem.

I think that authors of Nim libraries get so tied up in their superiority over having types and being compiled that they forget that most devs don’t really care about these things on their own. It’s only when these things are combined with good documentation and tooling (see Rust for example) that they become useful.
Well when I said reliably I wasn't really thinking about something as difficult as security in a system as complex as an OS...
Serious? People love crackpots and bullshit. At least until shit hits the fan, then they all need fucking scientists to get their precious vaccines. No amount of bullshit is going to produce working science.

All of the above. Though the coroutine library looks out of date. Most network libraries use async. Threads are possible, but weave looks promising: https://github.com/mratsim/weave
Yeah it really is a hidden gem. You can use it as a bash replacement, and with the new compiler API you can embed the entire interpreter in your program. My only complaint is that the interpreter aborts the process when the nimscript code has an error, so you can't really use it for hot code reloading right now. I hope they fix that eventually.
I had an opposite experience: solr was rock solid and didn’t require too much maintenance.
Halide (a language for fast, portable computation on images and tensors)
OK, let's have a go.

We are looking for set of three numbers that are "equally spaced". So {4, 7, 10} are equally spaced, differing by 3 each time. Another set might be {20, 30, 40}, this time differing by 10. We'll call such a set "Equally Spaced Triples", or "EST" for short.

If you have the positive even integers - 2, 4, 6, 8, ... - then clearly you can find infinitely many ESTs. You have {2,4,6}, {6,10,14}, and so on. However, we can show that if you take the powers of 2 - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ... - then we cannot find an EST.

So, when can we do this? When can we be guaranteed always to find infinitely many ESTs? Suppose you have a set of numbers - n0, n1, n2, n3, n4, ... - is there a test to see if we are guaranteed to have infinitely many ESTs?

The answer is yes, and that's the result that has been proved. The result says this:

Take any set of positive integers, take their inverses, and add them all together. If the result has an upper bound, then the set might not have infintely many ESTs. However, if the sum grows without bound, then you are guaranteed to have infinitely many ESTs.

Unpacking that with our examples, taking the inverses of the powers of two and adding them up we get 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ... and we can show that the total never exceeds 2. In fact, the total never reaches 2. So since the total is bounded, we do not have infinitely many ESTs.

Now look at the primes. There is a standard result that says that the sum 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/11 + 1/13 + 1/17 + ... is unbounded above. You give me a desired total, and I can tell you how many terms you need to take to exceed that number. So the sum of the inverses is unbounded, and hence the primes will have infinitely many ESTs.

So, in summary, if a set of positive integers is dense enough - if there are enough of them in some technical sense - then there are infinitely many ESTs. The test for density is to ask that the sum of the reciprocals (inverses) is unbounded.

Does that help?

I don't care about proving anything. You are looking at absolute numbers as opposed to things like growth or experience of people who switched.

Even something like inverting a random 4x4 matrix is just so much simpler. In julia it's just "inv(rand(4,4))". In python, you'll have to install numpy first and then writing it out is like 4 times as many characters.
I made a twitter account once. I followed maybe 4 people basically as a way to subscribe to whatever they were saying, then liked a few posts.

I got banned the same day and told that I had violated their tos in an undefined way and that attempts to contact support would be ignored. My only tweet was to say that I had finally made a dumb twitter account.

Maybe the assumption was that every human on earth must already have a twitter account, so any new account must be a bot?

These platforms are just ridiculous and we shouldn’t use them.
