I’ve never used this piece of software (and their web site is remarkably uninformative about what it does, besides transform my enterprise), but from the comments it looks like some kind of search engine. It wouldn’t be too surprising to have a bunch of heuristics that try to extract meaning from unlabeled strings. Indeed, while viewing that very page, my iPad turned several of the epoch timestamps into telephone numbers.

So I don’t know if this is what actually happened, but this is a plausible reason for having such a regex that does not depend on stupidity: a “guess what this number could mean” routine written around 2015 might make include finding Unix timestamp-ish values not more than a few years into the future.

I’d still be pretty unhappy with the hard coded magic number approach and wish to see the specific requirements documented, along with some sort of tunable parameter for the range, as well as a test that verifies it works for the given requirements. Which gets into a fun and potentially philosophical exercise as well, since a test that passed yesterday should pass today, but this might be one case where “doesn’t fail with dates less than 5 years into the future” is a reasonable request.
It’s a fantastic question this stuff isn’t intuitive.

Consider this model: the Earth is like a puzzle. Its crust is made up of a bunch of pieces that all fit together. But those pieces aren’t unchanging. They all sit on top of a huge soft sludgey core called the mantle. And they want to slowly (slooooooowly) slide around.

At each boundary between pieces one of three things can happen:

- they slide against each other

- they diverge from each other

- they press into each other, often one going under the other, sometimes one pushing the other.

A continent can move, oh so slowly, over millions of years through a combination of shifting along with other plates, or having one side of its plate grow (move away and have the new gap filled with the molten plasticy goo underneath), while the other side pushes away a plate or disappears underneath the other plate.

The map I linked shows a massive stretch mark of the Earth in the Atlantic Ocean. This is one striking piece of evidence that the above effects have been happening over a long long time. It’s basically the boundary between a few plates. And it shows all this brand new ocean floor that came flowing up from under the crust (then cooled and got hard) when a gap was created because they separated apart.
I agree. Your point that "assumptions hang in thin air" removes the need for the universe to supply us with axioms, including moral axioms, which is an idea the author leans on heavily.

We have many thoughts and ideas about life. For example, a person might think, "The ideal life is infinitely long and involves no pain." This probably comes from a logical part of the mind, similar to where statements like "two plus two equals four" are validated and appreciated, but that doesn't mean it's equally objective. We are animals, and staying alive and avoiding pain are strong drives.
YouTube is an engagement engine, their KPI is how much time you waste. People make their living gaming it, so you will not be successful for any length of time curating YouTube to recommend useful things.

You need to look from outside the platform in an in-scope forum. Look for climbers on Twitter or on some forums, etc. I’ve found in a new area that if look at a good book, use the author as a jump point to find Twitter people with useful info. Publishers force authors to tweet and there is good material there.

There’s also hints you can use to assess content. If you see the wide eyed YouTuber face, skip, for example.

>> Because you want randos on the Internet but not big companies with lawyers who make their engineers actually read licenses to use your software

I don't understand this sentiment of just sticking it to big companies because they're big and employ lawyers. The problem is the opposite: when a company has no excuse to do scummy things because they can afford lawyers, but they do scummy things regardless. I'd love it if big companies embraced the GPL more. But if they just ignored it that would be terrible, and sometimes they do.

Sometimes hospitals have (on paper) a policy to ensure patients have been informed of and understood their rights, so they have you sign a form acknowledging this. That's a good thing! But in practice they often get an image of your signature from you and then add it to the form knowing full well you haven't seen it.

I feel like the attitude of this license is that it's cooler for randos to do the latter than for big companies to do the former. It's backwards if you actually care about the rule of law and equity.
The post I responded to was the opposite: about turning "signed" code (which you declare is undefined) into "unsigned" code (which you declare is fully defined).

Given this thread of subargument, making the difference between 32-bit unsigned numbers is MORE DEFINED than using signed integers.

-------

IE: If your code was correct with "int timestamp", it will be more correct with "unsigned int timestamp".

In any case, "int" or "unsigned int" based timestamp manipulation wouldn't be like the code you suggested, but instead "int difference = x - y".

In the signed integer case, "difference" is (conceptually) negative, while in the unsigned integer case, "difference" is guaranteed to have overflow. Both cases are conceptually correct with regards to the difference of timestamps.

I don't think there's too much to learn there; it's not really a different model at all.

You're still writing your CSS in your text editor like normal.

1. Via the debugger you can tweak styles and see feedback in real time. It's just a much faster feedback loop than refreshing the page every time. Then you cut and paste (or save as...) to get the changes back into your source code.

2. You can debug styles. If you are wondering why a particular bit of text is green and bold, it will show you what line of CSS it's inheriting each property from. (And which styles have been overridden)

Assuming you're guy (and company) behind Octopus Deploy, I get it - I've marketed a DevOps-oriented tool, and it's more challenging than most. Developers generally want to be left alone with the product, and while things like events can sometimes work, they're more about brand awareness than sales. I would guess that content marketing is you best channel - with your documentation possibly being a great source. Thanks for the comment and glad it helped someone! :)
Google and Microsoft do a lot of interesting research. Waymo is a good example.

I'm not sure what Apple does.

My issue with big tech is not lack of innovation or research, but rather that it's all private. We're driving people out orgs that share their research with the world and into ones that lock it away.
I think there is a huge difference between the “business” taught at university and the “business” skills you need to launch a new venture.

In my experience, formal education tends to be very corporate-operations focused because that’s where most grads go. Most courses presuppose that the company has already found product-market fit - using these same behaviours in a new venture context could be dangerous.

Ideally, you’d find someone who recognises this difference and works to learn the differences between the environments, and brings the best of both worlds to the venture.

Is there something preventing Firefox or Edge from adopting this API? This is how browser APIs have worked for many years. If someone doesn’t like that their browser doesn’t support speech recognition, isn’t the main party under fire the browser vendor who hasn’t prioritized the work?
Being unable to afford a lawyer is still a thing even if the original contractor did all the work themselves. Selling a mortgage to another bank is not an instance of subcontracting. None of the things you're complaining about have anything to do with subcontracting.

Turning stuff off isn't easy when there are so many different sources for them. I want to have important notifications that I write down myself, but turning off all the other notifications has broken that for me. I get a 50-50 whether a given notification that I wrote myself will actually work for me. And all because I tried turning off notifications for things that I don't ever want to see a notification from.
They do hunt great white sharks for their livers though.
> Let's say you hate Chase Bank, they foreclosed on your parents home years ago, and are your sworn enemy.

I don’t know if hatred and ‘sworn enemies’ and bearing a grudge is a great reason to be arguing for anything.

But anyway your issue is with selling debt, not subcontracting, as the same issues would arrive if they sold the debt to Chase without subcontracting.

Again, with simple subcontracting you only have to deal with the original contractor.
> What on earth is 'immoral, unethical, or irresponsible' about that?

I cannot comment on construction, but lets talk about big companies. Big offices contract out to cleaning companies in part in order to avoid having to take responsibility for pay and conditions. e.g.

"We pay all of our staff the London living wage".

"What about your cleaning staff?"

"Those are employees of our subcontractors, so we cannot comment"

There are reams of scholarship about how the bomb wasn’t necessary to end the war in the Pacific Theater. This was, in fact, the conclusion at the time of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey:

Americans have invented this popular narrative about Hiroshima solely because it undergirds the fragile notion of “heroism” that country still clings to. Unnecessarily nuking a city that was at that point primarily women, children, and old people is anathema to the story we tell about ourselves, so we’ve simply decided it wasn’t so.

China and most Asian countries are ethonostates.

In America, if you suggest that we should be an ethnostate you would not only be called a white supremecist, you'd likely lose your job. In fact, today to even suggest reducing immigration (like Trump) you get called a white supremecist. That is just a reality.

So to say that China is less Xenophobic seems crazy to me. If China had the same immigration levels that America did, I'm 100% sure you'd see the same backlash you see in America (and likely much worse).

In fact China is putting their muslim population in camps as we speak. It's easy to pooh-pooh on the racist rednecks - it's a lot harder to actually open your borders.
Those all seem to be higher in the UK (except healthcare), that makes it even worse. Taxes are higher to boot. Hopefully they’ve got council housing.
I don't think the comparison to Theranos is accurate. Nikola may be overvalued, but they do have (billions?) loads of pre-orders for hydrogen trucks. Manufacturing the vehicles isn't rocket science - lots of companies are manufacturing hydrogen buses that are in use in EU for example. The tech definitely exists, the same way battery tech existed before Tesla. Hydrogen makes more sense for trucks as it's lighter, and by outsourcing manufacturing most of the risk is removed.

PS Email me if you are interested in building a hydrogen powered flying vehicle.
>Being public means that Americans can be upset our taxes are going to a billionaire.

The fact that some contractor somewhere makes a buck based on government spending seems like an odd thing to be upset about. The alternatives to SpaceX, BTW, are a different set of contractors who are also managed by very wealthy individuals. So anyone who is 'upset' by Musk getting paid would, presumably, be upset anyway.

The difference is that SpaceX has actually innovated and driven down prices, while the alternatives are charging 10x more for 60 year old disposable(!) tech.

The only caveat is you can't lose from someone else's announcement. You can choose to ignore that house rule if you like... but you should think more about what The Game is and why/how you're participating if that's the case.

Edit: I'm aware of a gray area involving https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(rapper); I once was watching a preview or credits or something (can't remember) and at one point it was a black screen with just "THE GAME" in white letters... I thought that was unfair but I can't come up with a consistent policy to exclude that loss.

Also the sales material harps on and on about how the phone has the snake game. Witch it has. But it also has a real licensed Tetris game

You just gave a laundry list of things to do, including buying a device that's worth as much as a used iPod. And to make matters worse, this is something you have to constantly keep on top of any time you install new apps. Otherwise those will throw notifications at you and you cab accidentally end up blocking notifications you do want.

Isn't this why we have initiation? Since we don't ever have complete knowledge, our brain has to predict/guess at some sort of probability curve for an event happening all the time.

So much of our political rhetoric is just basic one dimensional math. "have and have nots", "wage gap", and so on.

Last week, I did some philosophy: I dived into the discussions of Debian-legal of what constitutes open source and licenses apply or not to deep learning model. It was some real philosophy, applied philosophy, on complicated matters, touching technical, legal and moral aspects.

How to tell browsers that your site supports color-schemes
Hi HN, a few months ago I started building a suite of knowledge management tools to for my own needs. It's been a long iterative process of noticing patterns (and inefficiencies) in my workflow, building simple tools to improve it, and evolving the UX over time.

One of the tools I have been using daily is a web clipper that captures not just the current page, but can automatically extract key information from it. You can also do a quick lookup of your existing notes regardless which web page you are on.

Prior to this, I had been using web clipper extensions by Evernote, OneNote, and Notion, and all of them had something missing that would significantly slow me down. Wanted to share what I have built to address this. The code is integrated with the [Rumin](https://getrumin.com) backend (the other tools I built), but you can easily swap out the API calls to point to local storage or some other endpoint.

Check it out. Would love to hear feedback from the community :)

"Rocío Espada works with the marine biology laboratory at the University of Seville and has observed this migratory population of orca in the Gibraltar Straits for years. She was astonished. “For killer whales to take out a piece of a fibreglass rudder is crazy,” she says. “I’ve seen these orcas grow from babies, I know their life stories, I’ve never seen or heard of attacks.”"

I'm just picturing something like Superman's crystal cave https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c9/d5/a4/c9d5a448c3c0eb98014e8be0d... with a bunch of computer modules plugged into an Infiniband connection system. It could be a collection of manycore ARM processor modules as well as Nvidia GPU and AI modules. You just keep plugging more of them in to build up your home supercomputer.

Then you use your Neuralink brain-computer interface (communicating with the home supercomputer cluster with an ultra-compact WiGig module) to "program" it by talking to an AI avatar that pops up in the middle of your living room (or whatever simulation you are replacing it with currently). The cluster runs the AI and the simulation.

$20/hour is great if that’s a flat contracting rate. If I have to hire them on at full time, pay payroll taxes, give them health insurance, etc...it might make more sense to just do the sweeping myself.
Orcas are picky eaters, especially the ones that feed on fish like the Gibraltar orcas. There have been an enormous number of human-orca interactions both in the wild and in captivity, and even in the only known attacks on humans- the Sea World attacks- no orca has ever eaten a human. The likelihood that the fish-eating Gibraltar orcas are attempting to eat people is extremely low, IMO. It's much more likely an attempt to simply kill due to stress, like the Sea World orca attacks.
What do you consider a huge lapse in basic knowledge?

Knowledge is usually the easiest problem to fix. It’s a google search away. All the bad hires I’ve seen have had masters or phds and the problem has been poor work ethic, focus, and practical application of knowledge towards solving business problems. Interviews, in my opinion, can easily test for basic dev knowledge but should focus more on the way the candidate will conduct themself as an employee.
You should look at getting a folding bike. I got a Brompton recently, using a company cycle-to-work scheme and it's been brilliant. I can cycle 3-4 miles in 20 mins to my favourite coffee shop, fold up my bike in 20 seconds and stash it under my table.

I’m not stupid. It’s the gamification of attention I’m done with. The iPod predates that, it returns control to me without ads between curated song lists, “app wants to send you notifications”, you could get premium for just $2 a month!
