FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system

"The 996 working hour system is a work schedule commonly practiced by some companies in the People's Republic of China. It derives its name from its requirement that employees work from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week"
Latency and throughput are not the same thing. A CPU can process multiple instructions per clock cycle yet instructions take longer than a clock cycle.
I built this as something I needed for my portfolio, and to challenge myself as a developer with only 3 and a half years of experience. I know the code is kinda bad, but I also know I'm not a horrible dev, so I really wanted to learn as much as I could during this project.

I'm using auth0 for oauth, SSL, and express in my node middleware. I'm using Material UI and react-router for my frontend.

If anyone noticed I left client secrets, or finds a bunch of bugs, or just has general suggestions, I'd really appreciate getting sent them to admin@thinkfloat.net.
>Whether lies should be more expensive or not, lies cannot be made expensive.

But they can. Defamation laws make false claims expensive. Accounts can be revoked. Costs can be imposed if society has the will to do so.
A86 reportedly did something similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A86_(software)
Looks more like tech interview culture.
The point is, there was no recognized & respected brand that sells a high quality product. Just a bunch of fly-by-night operations.
We need neutral corporations that don't pick a stance against/for ethinic groups.

Why do right-wingers (and left-wingers) want corporations to pick sides? They should just operate within the law, hire truthfully regardless of race and only based on credentials, treat everyone equally and do their thing. I don't understand why Chick-fil-A openly wants to promote and donate anti-LGBT groups. What's that to do with their core business? It brings no benefit.

I've seen businesses in Berkeley, CA like this one: https://www.shopwomenmade.com/

I find this deeply offensive and probably illegal depending on how they hire their workers.

Companies and corporations should be absolutely neutral and operate within the bounds of law. The focus of everyone should be in changing laws if they're against it.

Are there other semantic duals in the instruction sets? If so, when combined with cryptography, it would offer some additional level of plausible deniability over which of the possible messages (due to parameter selection) is the cryptotext.
This is arguably a dupe, since Nim has been discussed on here in the last 12 months.
Which is precisely the strength of such a system. People often complain about voting being slow — but being slow is a feature not a bug in this case. Better slow and right than fast and wrong.
I haven't had trouble with Newegg, but I think the last thing I bought there was a RAID controller, and that's been a year or two ago now. Mostly I prefer Micro Center these days, and mostly that's just because they opened a local store so I can just go there. That said, I've never had problems with gray market or counterfeit stuff ordering from Micro Center online, so if you're uncomfortable with Newegg and Micro Center can ship to where you are, they're who I would first recommend.
This is bull. You can be one of the people who does the counting or you can watch it take place. There should be no electronic voting machines involved, that's the whole point of having a manual system. That allows basically anyone who wants to, including a hypothetical five year old, to verify that the system is working as intended. Your system relies on me going out and getting a PhD in cryptography to verify that the system is working as intended. Your system requires basically everyone to rely on trust, a well designed manual system requires basically no one to rely on trust. I know which one I'd prefer.

It's also used as a tape. Very, very handy to hold down parts & wires when soldering, since you can get it right next to the iron and not have any melting/burning issues (with most electronics solders).

A lot of my friends are already putting money down on houses and are making hundreds of thousands in options trading on principal that I _don't have_. I'm falling behind permanently and even maxing out my 401k (which I didn't do last year because I don't anticipate living to 65 but decided to this year) won't get me closer with a low principal.

Have we actually had much in the way of mental challenges on an evolutionary timescale? It would appear to be a reasonably recent phenomenon. I think I heard Jordan Peterson comment that a couple of hundred years ago, most people were piss poor working in fields, so a high IQ didn't actually gain you very much.

Good luck on deprecating Objective-C and the C++ toolchain.

As an example core of Unity is written with C++ with Objective-C bindings for APIs such as Metal.

If Apple would mandate Swift then things like Unity would just cross compile into swift, causing perf regressions for users, all for no benefit for Apple.
I believe it is a heuristic that looks at text length, element type and class name.

Calling a request to focus on the substance of the article instead of related issues elsewhere seems a far cry from gatekeeping. Especially given there's no enforcement behind the request.
YouTube is a _much bigger_ purveyor of misinformation than Facebook IMX. When I scroll down my Facebook feed, its automated suggestions are "maybe you might know this friend-of-a-friend" or "maybe you might want to join this group about choral singing". When I watch a YouTube video, the automated "watch next" suggestions are "Watch Jacob Rees-Mogg DESTROY liberals with one sentence!".
Second that, I find Nim fun to program. Not sure exactly why.. Perhaps, it‘a a bit of the feel of the old Python 2 days, but with better package management, less OO, and static binaries. Or it has more advanced abilities that solve annoying points with static languages like C++ via proper macros.

Crystal looks nice too, but I want code that compiles to C/C++, not llvm for embedded work.

Not sure about Crystal, but I’ve been able to find all the packages I needed for embedded and even some ML work. That Nim can wrap C/C++ libraries really helps there, otherwise it’d be a pain. For example I wanted to load PNG images, well someone wrapped a C library [1]. Or to create Elixir NIFs (with exception safety!) [2]. Generally if there’s a C/C++ package it only takes a few hours to wrap and use.

Nim has some annoying parts, like understanding the ref/var distinction and lack of examples. The documentation is fairly complete otherwise.

Other than having superficially similar syntax, is Nim really Python-like?

Also, Nim seems to be targeting a different niche from Python. As Nim is statically-typed and AOT-compiled, its closest competitor is probably Go. The difference is that Go deliberately tries to be a simple language, while Nim is much more complex.
You're trusting that all the ballots are present, that no fake ballots have been added, and none have been tampered with, that the officials are all acting in good faith, aren't making mistakes, haven't been bribed, etc.

Do you really think paper ballots have not been used to rig elections? Because that's absurd given the current situation in Belarus and the long history of ballot tampering going back thousands of years.

Paper ballot counting is security theater. A system based on math and software could be provably secure.
It's about the extent to which you want to allow a very small number of very rich people to control your life and your voice. If the open web dies, if FB is all that is left, then effectively no one will be able to say anything in the public sphere without Mark Zuckerberg's permission, and no one will be able to even participate in daily life without paying Mark Zuckerberg for the privilege, even if only indirectly. Is that really the world you want to live in?
Sprite sheets work fine with pixi, at least in my very rudimentary project of around 20 different sprites, did you encounter any problem in that space?
Yes the homeless need to be in long term health facilities. Many of these people were essentially kicked out of these facilities due to budget issues. The federal government turns a blind eye, while individual cities take turns buying bus or plane fares to make them another city’s problem. This issue has its origins from a combination of the Reagan Administration and heavy lobbying by the Kennedy family.
Dont these issues also apply to the docker-compose alternative? I'm recommending make as "the one tool" to use for all of your teams apps. No matter what app they work on, everything is setup with `make bootstrap` and everything is run with `make up`. Everything is deployed with `make deploy`. They dont need to understand the _how_, only the _what_.
Yes, it is effectively like operating an "adaptive" site alongside your (probably) responsive main site
Every Chick-Fil-A employee I have known (3) has been somewhere from depressed to suicidal, and all of them hated their job.

This is only true because other people wrote the hot parts in other languages and exposed a python library. That’s fine but isn’t really fair in a battle of languages
This is outside of my area of expertise, but I wonder whether it'd be possible to train machine learning models to identify divergent threads of conversation.

Tangential conversation can be useful and constructive sometimes; but other times it'd be nice to apply a contextual overlay to a conversation which emboldens the on-topic discussion items and de-prioritizes side discussions.

It's possible to argue that that's what the HN community itself should do naturally via upvote/downvote behaviour -- but in practice there are various (often valid) reasons why an unrelated thread of commentary can become more popular than on-topic discussion.
I'm not sure then what urgent problem you're trying to solve that warrants the cost of errors introduced by the manual counting of huge amounts of paper ballots. It would also be a logistical nightmare getting reams of paper to voters and getting them back and tracking them; at my polling place, we have to make sure that the number of ballots we issued out equals the number reported by the scanner (plus the number of spoiled ballots voters returned to us for disposal). I'm just pointing out that cost.

If you don't trust the tabulating machines, we have mechanisms to check them at scale. Basically, randomly sample the paper ballots and check them against the machine results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-limiting_audit

If you don't trust the people running elections, you should know that polling places in the US are run by community volunteers. Literally anyone who's a registered voter can participate and see how the sausage is made. In fact, there's a shortage of these folks, so boards of election are thrilled to get more people participating.
Sounds like a variation of the Texas joke.

That said, California (like Texas) is a large enough state that you can find pretty much any community you feel comfortable with here. You can also find any climate you feel comfortable with (except for Arctic), and you can find a house at any price you may want to pay, but you may not be able to find a union of the choices.

As such, generalizations rarely achieve the goal intended unless that goal is to inflame.

An alternative would be establishing a similar legal notion of strict liability in the jurisdiction where you happen to reside. This requires that you give up none of the features of your current residence, rather it involves becoming more active in its governance which, frankly, is something I wish more people would do.
Probably there is some very minimal latency when using a USB midi device to trigger sounds on a laptop that takes away from the feel of playing a live instrument.
No one said superior.

On your second point, I don't believe that is true. Not the 100% part. I am sure they play a big part, but a Kenyan Olympic runner doesn't win (only) because of environmental factors.
This is sqlite, you typically don't have a server.
The version I know goes like this:

A physicist, a mathematician and a logician are taking the train to Scotland. As the train crosses the border they see a black sheep on a hillside. The physicist remarks, "Oh look all the sheep in Scotland are black." The mathematician replies, "Oh you can't quite conclude that, the most you can say is at least one sheep in Scotland is black." Then the logician says, "Well really the most you can say is that at least one sheep in Scotland is black on one side."

Not doubting, I just hadn't heard that before. It's interesting that timbre, even between a a low E string an and A string, is enough to do that.

> 12 notes system of western music is very "mathematically natural"

It's mathematically coincidental, or maybe log12 is just the base where several notes happen to approximate small fractions like 3/4 and 2/3

This is an interesting visualization of ratios compared to equal temperament scales with different numbers of notes:

I'm going to assume this is not a gotcha question.

Debbie Hayton is trans exclusionary feminist, while being trans. She also writes on transgender topics for RT. I have no idea what her motivations are, she doesn't usually talk about them and in fact blocks people on twitter when they ask.

Blair White is a transmedicalist, who is so concerned about her own validity as a trans person that she insists on narrow diagnostic critera that just about include her. This makes her popular with a certain crowd. Her take on trans people that aren't exactly like her has been inconsistent. For a critical discussion with her and someone confronting her with said inconsistencies, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o_yuAuzl6Q

Buck Angel is similarly a transmedicalist, but more by virtue of transitioning at a time where only extremely few trans people were allowed to transition. Buck is a bit of a special case as one of the first trans men to transition, but he heavily relates to the Harry Benjamin Standards of Care, about which you can read some fun things here: https://twitter.com/orclesbian/status/1190481639501160449

I'm not really opposed to either of these people being on JRE, but their views on trans people have already been represented on the show a few times, whereas I haven't really seen any more inclusive advocates discuss this issue with Rogan.

This is part of a wider issue with the JRE guest selection, but that'd go too far for a HN comment already way too long.

For small apps and projects that continuous delivery is not required I would start with lxd. I think it's the easiest way to containerize an app.

Once that feels too little, I would start looking at docker, and only when docker feels again too little, to kubernetes.

So in essence, for 95% of the apps/people, the answer is no.
Common way to monetize sites like yours is ads via Carbon, eg https://colors.lol/

Not only that, but the formula has been disabled for security/lack of mainteance reason. The recommended way is currently `brew cask install osquery`.
Many reasons come to mind. Here is one:

When one entity controls the web and you run a web based business, then you have to live in constant fear that they will destroy it. By accident or by malice.

One example how this is already happening is AMP. Google says "Give us your content or we will send people interested in it to your competitors instead". And they get away with it.
If you have different physics, use it to make predictions, show those predictions are different from what the current physics says, and then do experiments to show your predictions are correct. Otherwise, you have nothing to say.

The article describes numerous crashes associated with Kapton, beginning with a story about a passenger plane where hundreds perished. It also mentioned a short circuit on the launch of the Columbia Space Shuttle, and military planes.

When used as an insulator where it can rub or be exposed to moisture: you’re going to have a failure at some point. What’s alarming then, was the conclusion:

> Still, hundreds of planes take off and land every day with Kapton insulated wires routed through every nook and cranny, some almost impossible to reach for inspection. And even when wire bundles are accessible, inspection comes down to a flashlight and a Mark I eyeball, looking for that cracks that might be lurking.

AMP is a subset of HTML and JavaScript which can be safely rendered server-side and runs fast on mobile phones. I find it ironic that the pro-Mozilla neckbeards who typically complain about bloated JavaScript websites also complain about AMP, for no reason other than it was developed by G. AMP is actually good for users.

I suspect it may relate to the way it accesses other executable file directories - it scans for the RCT2 data files, which are in another executables folder structure, so rather than just sticking to the install folder and the shared documents area, it's looking at other files, which could reasonably trigger a virus scanner looking for "weird" behaviour.

Sensationalism pays
I've always seen the story like this:

It all started with Ruby. Ruby's syntactic sugar inspired the "syntactic sugar" of tooling, primarily Bundler and Rspec. Tooling, for what felt like the first time, became a first class citizen. Ruby's tooling made Heroku possible: ie, reproducible builds across; dev, testing, staging and production environments. Heroku's success was based on the primitives of the Twelve-Factor App[1]. The 12 factors (and therefore Heroku) were fundamentally designed around the already-old lightweight virtualisation technology of LXC. The success of Heroku paved the way for Docker. The success of Docker created the world in which Kubernetes makes sense.

To be blunt: if you don't understand the relevance of Kubernetes, or whether it's relevant to you, you don't understand the benefits of the 12 factors in their broadest sense. The 12 factors are much, much more than just "How To Deploy On Heroku".

Copypasting the 12 factors:

I. Codebase
One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
II. Dependencies
Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
III. Config
Store config in the environment
IV. Backing services
Treat backing services as attached resources
V. Build, release, run
Strictly separate build and run stages
VI. Processes
Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
VII. Port binding
Export services via port binding
VIII. Concurrency
Scale out via the process model
IX. Disposability
Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
X. Dev/prod parity
Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible
XI. Logs
Treat logs as event streams
XII. Admin processes
Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes

I pretty much do this with any language I use, including C++ or even Java and Kotlin. I just use vim for everything, it makes it easy to switch around between languages without dealing with a new IDE, and I haven't used any autocompletion in any language in probably 10 years -- that aspect is over-rated.
