Few people care if ipv6 breaks so it doesn't make headlines
I worked for a big multinational bank and was reasonably comfortable but sometimes not very busy and most of the usual online distractions was blocked except for hacker news. I spent so much time reading hacker news that it was probably a big influence in me deciding to quit my job to join a bootstrapped startup as a CTO. Also probably the biggest mistake of my life. In the aftermath I ended up working as a contractor in a remote office for a tech company to recover my finances. During that time I used to spend my afternoon coffee break reading a newsletter from Matt Levine and I think that's probably one of the primary influences that made me end up working in finance again.

Show HN: Made an app to generate professional emails from one-liners with GPT-3
You were repeating a suspicion as if it was yours, as if it was a shared view in that thread, it wasn't, i'm not a network engineer but I read the thread too, nobody needs people spreading misinformation in a crisis just to sound smart, its not useful and usually harmful.

No superiority here.

I'd wager I'm not spreading disinforming because of said disclaimer and links to emails, but whatatever floats your boat.
Also the rules for this are different between C and C++. In C `while(1){}` cannot be removed, while in C++ it can.

Hey everyone!

According to a McKinsey analysis, the average professional spends 28% of the workday reading and answering email. Imagine if you could get that time back!

That’s why I built Magic Email

Magic Email is an AI Email assistant that uses GPT-3 to let you:

1. summarize long emails into short, readable summaries

2. generate professional emails from one-line descriptions

3. generate contextual replies from one-liners or key points

4. auto-correct grammatical errors in your email

Join the beta here: https://magicemail.io

We’d love to get your feedback and look forward to answering any questions!
He also mentioned in the article that, he too, was a broke college student at one point and used to ask people for discounts while juggling multiple jobs trying to get by. Does he not see the hypocrisy in that?
I am quite happy with buying things I didn't need. I work to buy luxury(and I say this as a nomad who lives out of a single luggage with 6 t-shirts). Most of what we buy today were not available a couple of centuries ago and yet quite a large population would swear that they are "needs".

There are too many ads but it is possible to avoid a great percentage of them if inclined. My interaction with ads is pretty minimal and when presented often enjoyable.
Using uBlock Origin I don't see ads on most sites.
Youtube premium means no ads there as well.
Spotify premium, so no ads for music. Video streaming services like netflix don't have ads.

My only ad interaction left is reddit(which offers premium) and podcasts or youtube video in-content ads where they are narrated by the creators whose content I am happy to support and in some cases I find the way they switch to ads quite funny.
and... they keep changing, somewhat. it's incremental year to year - most 2015-2016 changes weren't noticeable. But comparing a 2000 to a 2014, for example, you'll notice a lot of differences. most of my used car purchases have been 'newish' (like... 3-4 years old), and I had them for a few years. I got 2004 (new) and had it for 13 years - a lot changed in that time period! As you say, safety, fuel economy, gadgets (rear camera, etc).
Can you cite the 25K/year number? How long does that last?

At that rate you could make quite a living after having created a dozen course.
What are the benefits to doing this? From the article I got two, "wine can get the kernel to do case insensitive path stuff instead of emulating it itself", and "users don't need special userspace magic to treat their filenames as strings, not bytes".

I have never seen anyone at all mope over lack of the latter, and the former seems quite specific to get such a big feature landed over. What other use-cases are there that benefit from this being in the FS?
A few countries put educational institutions behind a .edu. second level domain, the vast majority don't, their student emails are behind [universityname].tld without any .edu. involved.

Are there diminishing returns for an image sensor, given so many of your features are going to be waaaaaay bigger, given so much of the chip will be taken up by photosites, which have to be an order of magnitude larger for sensing the visible spectrum?

I don't know. The parts of the chip that are shuffling the data off the sensor obviously benefit from having the latest process node (minimizing rolling shutter is a huge deal), and reducing heat is also a big benefit (see Canon's R5 overheating problems), but maybe the design is gated by the photosite size?
Have you ever considered working in government? The pay isn't the best, but the work can be satisfying. I'm specifically thinking about the US Digital Service.
> You were repeating a suspicion as if it was yours

That is a misrepresentation.

I wrote:

"Not a network engineer, but based on the comments there". I prefaced the insecure speculation part with "possibly". It was obvious to any reader this was a summary of the emails there.

You are overreacting.
> When you subsidize something, you get more of it. ... That leads to the question of what educational discounts subsidize. In effect, they subsidize going to very expensive universities.

I’m not sure I am following the point here. Are you suggesting people are signing up to a 4 year university, taking out tens of thousands of dollars in loans (as you mentioned) in order to get a student discount?

All professional chess games have a time limit for each player (if you've ever heard of "chess clocks" -- that's what they're used for). In "slow chess" each player has a 2-hour limit and all of the other time control schemes (such as rapid and blitz) are much shorter.
Originality Level 1: Review current options; do any of them solve your problem?

Originality Level 2: Can any of the existing options be modified in a way that solves your problem?

Originality Level 3: Solve the problem yourself.
It means leave the high templar to write any code that has confidentiality, integrity, or availability requirements.
It’s not that the JIT gets confused, it’s that the C APIs for these languages can do almost anything - even stuff that you can’t normally do in the language. So you are faced with a giant optimization boundary.

However a call to a shared library that isn’t linked against your language API is not very expensive as you have a much better handle on the values that are escaping and can make much better optimization choices.

In the Truffle project we are using an LLVM bitcode interpreter that allows us to JIT right through that language boundary and still link to native shared libraries. This means people shouldn’t have to rewrite their C extensions and we can hopefully still run the combination of high level language and C extension faster.
I have experience with salt. Imperative vs declarative - it depends. Some stuff is simple (and the tutorials and introductions always are), other stuff is complex.
For example I ended up writing imperative state in salt in a declarative manner. Was not easy. The solution I've found was to make one state predepend on another. The chain in the end was 8 items long if my memory serves me correctly.

On the other hand, in imperative world you have other difficulties, because you have to check the current state first and decide what to do in different edge cases.
Not sure which one in the would be more complex.
> continue where they left off

The games are timed and this pause gives a lot of thinking time. If they're allowed to talk with others during the pause, then also consulting time.

> why don't they start over

That would be unfair to the player who was ahead.

That said, both players might still be fine with a clean rematch, because being the undisputed winner feels better. I wonder if they were asked (anonymously to prevent public hate) whether they would be fine with a rematch.

I thought Cloudflare was having issues again, since I use their DNS servers, so I started by changing that. Then I tried restarting everything, modem/router/computer. Wasn't until I connected to a VM that a friend hosts that I was finally able to access HN, and thus saw this thread.

Hopefully this will get fixed within a reasonable timespan.

Chris Adams made an exasperated comment[0] in the heat of the moment of dealing with an outage. You posting it here and positing it as a possibly valid information is the very definition of spreading misinformation and you did it for what gain? Maybe if multiple folks were saying it or at least agreeing with Chris, it might be different.

Long story short, admit you’re wrong and just move on.

I like that the author brings up all the different roles in a company and explains succinctly what each one does with the door.

This could be a good way to explain an industry or the roles within a company to newcomers.
On the other hand, this article took me 6 months of having a thought I couldn’t put into words until it clicked earlier this week and the Feynman anecdote is just a stylistic choice for structuring the article.

And you can summarize anything in 1 sentence if you don’t care about readers getting it, are trying to be funny, or are cynical enough. The world is not so complex after all. Everything’s just about increasing or decreasing entropy.
In my specific case, the subsidy would be very, very small. In aggregate, discounts, special offers, easier credit, grants, loans and a social affordances add up.

At the margins, subsidies lead more people to spend four (or often five to six) years of their life getting a credential. If you're interested in this topic, I highly recommend Bryan Caplan's book: https://www.amazon.com/Case-against-Education-System-Waste-e...

So, I'm a bit rusty on haskell but I have some notes on a similar concept. Essentially, fmap with a twist - instead of applying the same function to a list of values, you have a list of functions that you want to evaluate on the same value. "fpam". In this case, we're dealing with a list of size 2

fpam :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
fpam fns v = fns <*> pure v

after that then fold the list with boolean &&

foo :: (a -> Bool) -> (a -> Bool) -> a -> Bool
foo f g x = foldr1 (&&) ( fpam [f,g] x)

or alternatively with no helper functions

foo2 :: (a -> Bool) -> (a -> Bool) -> a -> Bool
foo2 f g x = foldr1 (&&) ( [f,g] <*> pure x)

for example

Prelude> foldr1 (&&) ( [ (==3), (==4) ] <*> pure 3 )
False

Alternate implementations:

import Data.List
import Data.Function
import Control.Monad.State
import Data.Foldable
import Control.Arrow((>>>))
import Control.Monad.Reader
import Control.Monad.List

applyList :: [(a -> a)] -> a -> a
applyList list = execState $ for_ list modify

applyList2 :: [(a -> a)] -> a -> a
applyList2 = foldr1 (>>>)

fpam :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
fpam fns v = fns <*> pure v

fpam2 :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
fpam2 fns = runReader $ forM fns reader

fpam3 :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
fpam3 fns v = fmap (\f -> f v) fns

fpam4 :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
fpam4 fns = runReaderT $ do
fn <- lift fns
reader fn

> Fix. This. Shit.

Not trying to defend the bullies but people shit talking on Internet is pretty common thing. If you decide to share your photos and lifestyle, that is if you open the gate to your private space, you have to account for consequences. People mocked other people before the dawn of Internet and unless there's verifiable harm being done I think this should fall under freedom of speech. It was her decision to go public with her private life. I don't see any way to fix this except being tied into mind rewriting program like in Clockwork Orange. If people mock you behind your back, that's life. You may as well ignore them.
Just curious as a Non developer who knows a bit of programming, is DevOps always this complicated?
Widely disputed.

If this really did prevent ad blocking no one would expect it to ship. Inside the bundle are the same resources as without a bundle.

The real question is how good the backbone is that feeds the country. If large numbers of people move there and start doing video calls, streaming Netflix, etc then it could use a ton of bandwidth.
This is a neat idea but the screaming bird sounds on the page, however possibly relevant to the service name, made me instantly close the site. It's loud and unpleasant.
I wouldn't call it just DevOps. It's computers. We can all do what we do, we can write our `print "Hello World"` because we leverage millions upon millions of lines of code that other people have written to abstract away the other complications to getting code shipped.

It's both amazing and terrifying to think about.
The Clathrate Gun hypothesis is not plausible. Recent research basically disproves it.
This is great. Now, there's quite a bit new to learn here.

I use Markdown notes files with quoted commands and outputs as first exploratory documentation and before it goes into Ansible/Dockerfile/Packer/Whatever. I can add links, images etc and anybody can easily follow and edit/PR since well, it's Markdown.

Seems to me what I'm doing is basically the same idea as this, with total flexibility (no schema), nothing new to learn only I can't run the .md file (how hard would it be to parse a md file and ignore everything except the triple ticks and execute that, in say Bash?).
It's a good option if you're on a Windows machine.
I’m sorry your comment has been downvoted. I can’t imagine why. Thanks for writing an interesting article.

I realise this was a minor observation on your part, and I was remarking on it in that spirit. I’m sorry not to have made that clearer. I’ve found it rather dispiriting when writing of mine has been posted here, and the comments have seemed like nitpicking criticism, so I regret having given you that impression. One has to remind oneself that people who enjoy the article and have nothing to add will usually not leave comments, and so the comments give a misleading impression of how people felt about it.

The message you quote above appears to be a warning, rather than an error.
There is some magical thinking in this proposal as relates to key creation and transmission — I do not think it’s as easy as the author proposes to get enough entropy for a one-time pad from QR codes, for instance. A giant QR code gives only 406 bytes, and the ones phones trade are usually smaller. Also, it is easy to scan a QR code automatically by its nature.

That said, I reinterpret this idea slightly and think it’s brilliant — to Shamir split a message between different channels is a really good idea. To split them in such a way that different nation-state actors will each encounter significant expense is pretty brilliant.

Ultimately, (and I think this is acknowledged), for this to be usable you’re going to need a device that you don’t think is compromised to read and send; In the crypto world, the canonical device would be a formatted flashed older phone that you never turn on data for; it would then use the camera to scan and incorporate the QR codes sent through each channel and recombine them.

If that’s the best usability Horcruxes provide, they are going to be used only for ultra-high-value short communication — private keys, passwords, GPS locations of very high value.

TL;DR The proposal provides some improved messaging security but at high usability cost. I think it’s probably better than not using it if you use it as an app on your “main” phone, but it doesn’t give full benefits in that mode.

I know Conway was slightly resentful that game of life overshadowed some of his other work in the public's imagination, but I've always been entranced by it.

I remember as a child the first computer my family had was a dual boot of Microsoft DOS and Windows 3.1 (or something like that?). On the Windows 3.1 side was a version of Conway's Game of Life which was preinstalled, and I'd spend hours messing around with it. You could place two different colors of cells, and I'd set patterns up and then let the simulation go to see which one would "win", or outlast the other.

Conway's Game of Life was also one of the first meaningful things I'd programmed, and even today I like to reimplement game of life when learning a new langauge. Typically I like to let the user assign different colors to the grid, and have new cells born be a blend of all of their neighboring colors as a kind of simulation of natural selection. Right now I'm learning network programming for game development, and I'm finishing up a networked implementation of game of life so multiple people can join and manipulate a running simulation. In general I think it's a good project to use when playing around with learning something new.

I just really like cellular automatons, and game of life in particular.
Really liked the separation between slack and laziness!

> Typically, one takes justifiable pride for accomplishments that stand up to external scrutiny. That usually comes in the form of the accomplishment having an element of sacrifice, of pain and difficulty

I think this is where a lot of people might lose themselves, and I might be misinterpreting you here, but: I think an important distinction is that people should take pride in providing value for their community, not having it be approved by them. Otherwise we might end up acting contrary to our beliefs, and feeling a hollow sense of achievement in the end.

Also, by your definition of hard work being pride-worthy, many gamers might meet that criteria, especially the professionals (?). Games can often be more competitive and demanding than anything I've experienced in real life. I've only teetered on the edge of competitive levels, so in a sense I wasted a lot of my time, since it all wasn't deliberate, but parts of it were definitely hard work, filled with passion.
I'll have to look at that. Right now, government work is profoundly unattractive to me. It seems that every single branch has become a political weapon. My father was in the CIA, and became quite disillusioned, for exactly that reason.

I’m just now teaching myself QM (20 years after school). I can tell you that in QM, seemingly innocuous phrases like “locality” have highly unintuitive, nonstandard meanings. I’m just now getting a glimpse at how amazingly fucking awful pop-sci QM articles are.

If you’re interested in QM, read “The Theoretical Minimum”; the second book gets into QM. There are video lectures of the same material that complement the series, we’ll.
I was doing a big release over the evening. I was working fine up until about 6 hours ago, when I signed off. Our network monitors show an outage started about half an hour later (at about 4:05am CST). Service restored a few minutes ago, at about 9:44am CST. I don't know if our problem is the same as this problem, but we are on CenturyLink.
I switched from g-assist to Alexa because at least in my experience I found that while google was way better at random trivia, Alexa was way better at understanding the narrow set of commands she supports.

I think this is both a mic quality issue and a nlp issue. All the online comparisons compare random trivia but I almost never ask trivia because the failure rate on both is too high (that domain is way too open ended for assistants right now I think).

No worries, you don't sound dismissive, though let me address your points:

First of all, Etebase is not "a whole SaaS", since it's open-source you can self host it, so the SaaS is optional.

As for what the GP was asking, I disagree. I think it's exactly what he was asking for. He was lamenting the lack of complete solutions, and having to figure out things on your own. Without the server part and network protocol, Etebase is essentially just libsodium, which GP already mentioned.
