I always thought to myself, what if I take the test and pass it? Then what?

If I fail, that's easy. I lick my wounds and go home.

But if I pass? The shape of the distribution -- basically slicing off one end of a bell curve -- means that in all likelihood, I would be at the lower end of the IQ scale within the group, even if at the upper end within the overall population.

So I'd be taking a test and paying money for the privilege of being the dumbest person in the room. It hardly seemed attractive to me.

Working great now. I do appreciate the uncluttered default look, and the discovery feed is interesting. Looks like HN has bombed your site before :) https://herman.bearblog.dev/the-hacker-news-hug/
Are you saying that because white privilege is less acknowledged, it's harder to grasp for those within and without it? Or that it's existence is dubious?
You're right, Leonard has it worse: he doesn't just reset his day, he keeps resetting his last few minutes! Sorry I was unclear.

That scene you describe is brilliant, I still remember the monologue: "I don't... feel drunk".
Please give this a rest and please stop excusing Brendan Eich's homophobia. As a gay man in tech, it is _exhausting_, and this entire tirade reads as a rightwing talking point by someone who is upset that they aren't allowed to have distasteful opinions anymore.
It's a dare!
> how do you overcome the perception that you have nothing new to add to the discourse?

Perhaps make a tutorial? There are various neat tools (and combinations of tools) that lack approachable documentation. Won't be ground-breaking, but might be helpful and worth reading.
Oh, so you have the distinction between `function foo() { return; }` and `function bar() {}`. From the languages I'm accustomed to, yes, second syntax is first syntax under the hood.

Thanks for the explanation!
what the heck are you talking about lol
As a veteran WoW player now playing classic, I hope this play works out. There was a ~40 min youtube video released a couple months ago that details the many ways contemporary Blizzard has lost their soul:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G6oRuu9tLg

The short version is Blizzard is a shell of their former glory, and they are making decisions based on cash and appeasement of the Chinese govt. Most of you probably remember the Diablo: Immortal reception (Chinese mobile game presented as a keynote at the American, PC-playing blizzcon fan convention).

I deeply hope Morhaime is able to recapture the lightning in a bottle that existed at old Blizzard, and this doesn't end up as another Hellgate: London fiasco.
This looks great, well done. I see you mentioned the product does its own indexing and crawling. I'm not surprised that was necessary, there doesn't seem to be an easy (free) way to poll major news sources for content.

Does anyone know of a major unbiased news outlet you can do that with? I checked about a year ago. I wasn't able to find such a source that would let you poll their stories for free and with realistic rate limits. I just needed a title and excerpt and was fine linking to the original content for users.

Thank you for sharing! Your experience definitely resonates with me and I am similarly divorced. I especially relate to your comment about setting the bar high and it becoming expected instead of being appreciated that you’re going above and beyond. I have struggled with that at interpersonal and work relationships especially. Thanks again!
I don't understand how #1 is possible. How do you statically compile the code once & have it automatically choose the right vector width that's available on the CPU at run time? Does the compiler just emit an instruction saying "ideal width at this point is 256bits" & the CPU will automatically optimize that however needed?

I've been unable to find any meaningful description of how this actually works.
> I agree with your general point (why send humans when robots will do?)

That's not my general point, actually. I'm generally supportive of sending humans on exploration missions, but blimps on Venus seems off. It's like a manned mission down into the lava pool of an active volcano. Sure, maybe you could actually do it, but there's little point to do so except for the bragging rights.

If humans wanted to visit the atmosphere of Venus, it seems a lot safer and more practical to do it in a supersonic rocket plane. Then you don't have to worry about launching a manned return rocket from a dirigible.
Yep, the difference being that at least we might get a chance of influencing the governments approach; where as in Europe.. good luck.
> Why are you so sure that a) Eich would do the job for less, or that b) he'd be able to single-handedly defeat Google on a budget.

a) Eich publicly called out Mozilla's current CEO compensation. b) well the current CEO isn't doing that either.

> Just because someone opposes gay marriage for religious reasons doesn't make them a superhero or saint. Is Brave browser doing better than Firefox with his miraculous help?

Exactly, it had nothing to do with anything but people who wanted Eich's head. The same people that are now sinking Mozilla because they have no vision for the company, just virtue signalling.
Did you use the memory palace technique to remember the populations? How so? Can you give a small example?
Non-peer reviewed paper tied to Steve Bannon. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/report-resurrects-baseless...

Comparing that to two times peer-reviewed paper made by NASA is insulting, and your captatio benevolentiae will not trick the user into considering them to be on the same level or tied to similar fundamental issues.
I love that idea, it formalizes the board taking responsibility for the continued performance of the CEO, and it may also warn a CEO that the board that hired them is about to flip before it is too late.
If you could connect a long hose between the two planets, you could use it as a siphon :)
I think arguing that Brendan Eich was a great CEO is massively overstating things.

A great CEO would have been able to handle the issues he was confronted with.

Just because somebody was ousted in a way you feel was unfair, doesn't make them a great leader.
So I did create a strawman, I'm sorry for that.

Really no such thing as risk mitigation. Avoid it, accept it, or make it someone else's responsibility. Do you really want identity management to be the responsibility of the guy delivering pizza? The decision should be simple. What's an authoritative request?
I really just want to say that your comments have been hopeful and refreshing. Thank you.
because i worked in both cultures and also with very strong women who regurarily topped men.
its a culture thing, not a gender thing.

putting it on the sex takes responsibilty away and creates a victim role which is not necessary.

heck my last cfo was a wonder women. sharp as a knife and she pushed the company more than all other male leaders combined. and she was rude af which probably helped as everyone was alpha there

Another good project is to run a liveatc.net feed. Check the site to see if your local airport has a feed, they're all run by volunteers. You can use an RTL-SDR dongle (with https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband) or an audio input source such as a USB audio input dongle or https://fe-pi.com/products/fe-pi-audio-z-v2 (when they're back in stock). To find the frequencies to program in, you can use https://www.airnav.com/airports/. Older Raspberry Pi's will handle the compression + streaming just fine and streamer clients never connect directly to your pi.

This is extremely frustrating. Every time I try to discuss big issues with my dad, his side consists basically of "its too difficult". This man witnessed the transition room sized memory to 1TB SD cards, the growth of the internet infrastructure, the development of international flight - all things which would have been considered magical miracles just a few decades before he was born, but now everything is just too difficult to bother implementing. I don't understand how he can have that attitude after everything he witnessed being built and even participated in building.

People have strong preferences for one candidate over another. Approval voting takes that preference from voters, which instinctually seems like a very unattractive system.

E.g., let’s say I’m a “moderate” in the US in 2008. I would like either Obama or McCain to win but I have a strong preference for Obama and I do not like any of the third parties. Approval voting doesn’t allow me to express this very common preference.
I've seen other devs open source their games and simply release it in a non-functional state with statements clarifying what's not included, why, and what it would take to get things up and running. Just about anyone looking to build a modern game from this sort of source release is going to know what they are getting into with or without these assets and may still get value out of the release even if it doesn't provide all the necessary bits to create an executable.

> That's part and parcel the strategy of the left, shifting the Overton Window of what you're allowed to support publicly until anything representing traditional conservative values is safely out of range.

I strongly disagree: political polarization is not limited to the left. The right has used similar polarizarion and smear campaigns for decades in order to turn out single-issue voters: any politicians who is remotely pro-choice becomes anathema, regardless of the rest of their platform. Hillary Clinton was so effectively smeared, in 2016 a lot of voters disliked her, but couldn't articulate why. Since Reagan, the political Overton window in the US is has been sliding rightwards - not left.

Also, I am on the left.
Ask HN: Are there RoR courses for experienced developers?
I really want to deepen my knowledge of RoR, but I've gotten so tired of wading through videos on what a variable is because hidden somewhere in there are key helper methods I'd like to know about. Are there any courses (in general or specifically on RoR) that cater to experienced developers, who don't want to sit through beginner material?
Back when I was playing competitive Pokemon, I'd remember the top 100 most used pokemon in competitions, their top 5 or 6 builds, the obscure moves that they'd use (Hidden power targets), the common stats that people would build towards (102 speed Jolly Garchomp will outrun a 110 speed Modest Gengar. +50% Dragondanced Jolly Gyarados will outrun a 130 Timid Tapu Koko), as well as OHKO targets of each pokemon (+50% boosted Jolly Gyarados will not OHKO Tapu Koko with Waterfall and is therefore forced to switch).

Because items were hidden information: it was important to memorize these details to know what items your opponent was using. A Gengar will do 30% against my Tank, but some items may increase the damage to say, 45%. If I saw that Gengar did 45% damage with Shadow Ball instead of the expected 30% damage, I knew that Gengar was equipped with Choice-Specs, and that Gengar was now locked-in on Shadow Ball (Choice-Specs gives +50% damage but forces the Pokemon to use the same move-over-and-over, meaning Gengar only has two options: use Shadow Ball again, or switch out. I can therefore better plan around the opponent, despite taking extra damage I wasn't expecting)

I'd also memorize common "cores": Celebi is commonly paired with Heatran back in Gen4 (Diamond / Pearl), because their types perfectly complement each other (especially in Gen4 when Steel was a Dark and Ghost resist). So if you saw that one player has a Celebi, it almost guarantees that they also have a Heatran on their team (Pokemon back then was a game of hidden information: you didn't know what was on the opponent's team until they threw a Pokemon out). Modern Pokemon games reveal the teams these days, so this kind of memorization is no longer needed.

-----------

The overall metagame evolved month-to-month, requiring a new effort to memorize the newest strategies, cores, and builds to keep up with your opponents.

I'm sure there are many other games of partial-information that become memorization heavy. Magic the Gathering is probably another one (which I also played, but never "competitively").

Ex: seeing a few Human cards in Innistrad is an indicator that the player might have a Angel of Glory's Rise in their deck (resurrect all Humans, destroy all Zombies). Figuring out the opponent's "bomb card" before they play it is hugely important.

-----------

Anyone playing a "team-building" or "deck-building" competitive game is almost surely a memorization king. I placed all of this effort into the game mostly because I knew my opponents placed that effort into the game, and that I'd need to push a similar level of effort to "keep up" with them.
I can't speak to your tablet use-case but as a general statement Atom is absolutely fine, even great under linux.

Intel actually has long had some of the better Linux support in the market in general, especially when compared to the early Zen hardware which needed a few years to build up critical mass (and of course it dumps all over the ARM-based experience, having a non-x86 processor is several notches upwards in complexity/difficulty of the experience). In particular they were an early mover on the open-source graphics driver thing (several years ahead of AMD), and their Linux driver has been the gold standard for stability/specs compliance for a long time. The chips underneath them aren't the fastest but the driver is clean and sensible.
Yeah, in current stable Rust `-> !` is just a syntactic construct. But it is being reified into a proper first-class type [1], indeed in nightly you've been able to use it in most type positions for a while already (I actually forgot that the "basic" implementation is not yet stable!)

That part was absolutely heartbreaking.
While I love that Python bolted on a type system, I wish it could do this. I need recursive types about twice a month, and Python just isn't doing it for me. (And while I'm complaining, the replace function for dataclasses is totally kneecapped by not being able to type check its field assignments.)
LOL whos paying for that?

That's one thing I'm glad I splurged on... I don't print very regularly, and with ink jets, the print heads invariably have dried up on me... for a while now, just been using HP color laser printers with wired networking (they have wireless, but it doesn't work well). Pretty much every device detects it on the network and sets up without issue.

Now if only google could put printing options back into Android.
I don't think you are, since some organizations have indeed fixed their mask shortage by authorizing KN95s. Others, it seems, prefer to stay in conservation mode so their procurement departments don't have to deal with an extra K on the forms.

The article makes some vague reference to problems which forced health organizations to abandon KN95s, but this is the first I'm hearing of it and there's not enough information to look up what they're talking about.
You aren't (or shouldn't be) put under general anesthesia for a colonoscopy. They use "conscious sedation", in the USA typically achieved with intravenous propofol. You are technically conscious, but very sleepy and unable to form memories while sedated.

But yes, general anesthesia is really wild stuff. Even more wild when you learn that we don't know how they actually work, other than that they work.
Oh no no i didn't mean that it's happening because of/for the immigration.

Ask HN: Multiple Websites in One Tab to create personal and business dashboard

I feel like you could say that about any discipline that any Master's student would embark on just because the state of the art is extremely advanced, no? For example, if you're a chemical engineer focusing on batteries, you could say simple experiments are out of reach too because "simple" has advanced to a point that's extremely complex & expensive. I haven't done a Master's so I don't actually know.
Great question. My blog is to help people answer questions they Google. I'm the top result for searches like "spark partitionby". The content isn't anything new. They're just useful posts for people that are busy and Googling for answers.

One thing that has worked quite well for me is to listen to podcasts that are interesting but concerning topics that I don’t need to act upon. Hence no urge to take notes. E.g. macroeconomics and stuff like that.
It depends on what you mean by "big deal". The ICIJ published a series of damning articles in relatively-big-deal papers as late as yesterday. (1)

Aguably, the news is shadowed by other, more immediate topics - it would be interesting to see how it would have been received in a non-2020-ish year.

(I remember Panama Papers where a bigger deal, for example, probably because you could name famous people while in headlines.)

Also dragging in a second library also means you are pulling in their issues too. Sometimes a quick little function is all you need. Sometimes though it is so wildly better than what you have it is worth doing. It is about time and cost. One project I wrote a whole subsystem to do a particular thing. On a revision of the OS they had the same thing but way better. Tossed out every line of code I had written and used that. But without writing that thing I would not have know if it was worth it or not.
Next desktop CPU family is Rocket Lake. It is rumored to be released at the end of 2020 or first half of 2021. It'll use 14nm process. After that it'll be Alder Lake. It is expected to be launched in the second half of 2021 and will use 10nm process.

Considering all the delays and overall state of the world, I wouldn't be surprised to see further delays.

On the flip side, that's how projects like Spring, Spark, jQuery, Angular, React, Kafka, Cassandra and Mongo came to be: somebody did something that somebody else was always doing, but a little bit better, and ended up making a career out of it.
They're all identical keyboards -- AFAIK, literally -- so if you like it on one (or don't like it on one!), it'll apply to the rest. I have a 2020 MacBook Air and think it's one of the best laptop keyboards I've used in a long time. (And it makes me really hate going back to the butterfly keyboard on my work laptop, even though I found it okay to type on previously. I actually never had any dead keys on it, or on a previous work laptop with butterfly keys, or on a personal MBP 13" that the Air replaced.)

It’s pretty easy though. You open a Python file, it asks if you want Python plug-in installed. Then you’re pretty much done except specifying your virtualenv. If you have linter settings it will ask if you want the linter installed.

Imagine you were me in 2005 with an HTC 8125 that had a sliding keyboard with actual QWERTY keys, and I wake up to find that all “smart” phones are black slabs of glass that I’m suppose to poke at with my paws like some kind of animal.

I’ve since come to terms with the glass keyboard of my iPhone, but I maintain that it was not progress. Besides, the person in the story was only two years out from seeing an iPhone for the first time, like everyone else at the time.
