These were very very rare. The US would justify sending a cruise missile into the middle east to kill one target that MAY accidentally harm bystanders but they would never conduct such action on American soil to destroy a terrorist cell that MAY harm american citizens.

Extreme precautions were taken to make sure that all killings involved middle easterners. Were the precautions perfect? No. But obviously the killings were kept exclusive to a race.
What an incredible story. Is this what Carl Jung would call "synchronicity"?
That doesn’t sound like a typical business argument. We could more efficiently get the money in the government treasury by skipping the corporate middleman and taxing it.

I mean, XPO is one of the largest 3pl’s in the world so it’s hardly surprising they might win this contract.

Although there could be foul play, I don’t think it’s too outlandish to think that XPO would win this on merit, particularly considering XPO generally prices contracts more aggressively than other 3PL’s with similar market share.
IIRC, There was a deleted twitter thread where tankies was going through social media exposing affiliation of popular Uyghur atrocity propagandist and yours truly had links to ETIM on facebook. Omir provided some of the earlier testimonials against the camps, he's a propaganda circuit regular but his testimony has been pretty consistent, and his treatment is about what I'd expect China would reserve for ETIM and ETIM associates aka Chinese Gitmo.
I mean i could say the same thing about most of the subject matter of this page. Most consumer oriented financial products are fairly simple, and yet people seem confused by them.
Living month to month from cash reserves is the general way to describe this mindset, and is is the reason the nation sees a significant increase in purchases of durable goods when tax returns roll in each spring.

Your idea of daily payouts is a very clever hack on the system and deserves a practical trial. It would be most interesting to see if it encourages inceased savings on this scale.

Presumably animals don't have souls, maybe in some wordy sense they do, but functionally they don't so we can eat them or step on them. If bacteria has a soul we are in trouble.

As for the comprehensiveness of the Bible yeah what your saying is logically correct, but seems a bit disingenuous. Why not include the Quran and Book of Mormon in the holy scriptures as well if the Bible isn't the "end-all"? For God to only be concerned with terrestrial matters in the Bible is very strange if ET Intelligent life exists. Any religion that acknowledges ET life prior to their discovery would seem to be more plausible... though obviously that seems kind of ridiculous in practice.

> The social elevator can take 2 generations. And that is ok.

It is not. You don't choose your parents, just the same way as you don't get to choose your sex/gender, race/ethnicity or caste. If you take "equal chances for everyone" seriously, it is a primary concern for a society to allow children to prosper freely without being impeded by the misfortune or failings of their parents.

> Sadly inheritance is looked down upon

We're totally not on the same page. Not even close.

> destroy a millenium of wisdom at their generation by not transmitting all the accumulated knowledge, generally due to some ideological dream (« my ancestors were all wrong! THIS is how you do it! I shall be free to roam! »)

I think it doesn't take a millennium of wisdom to understand what's needed to raise sane, mentally healthy children. Besides, this chain of knowledge-transfer gets interrupted constantly anyway, often due to war, accidents or addictions.

> But the failed child is free to start again, marry, work a lot, study success, and he can give his child an excellent life, and his grandson can be CEO of a large company.

Why the grandson? Why not the son? (Or daughter, for what it's worth.)

Yeah, it really demonstrates how these lists live in a cultural context. Several of them have counter examples from my daily life.

On the other hand, some of them come from not appreciating that a timezone is a cultural and legal construct of a region. Even if it were true that every extant timezone was a multiple of an hour off of utc, it would still be wrong to think that was always going to be the case.
How do you argue that based on technical choices alone? Seems quite reductive.
>That's no longer possible thanks to nuclear weapons

its in the post you replied to, c'mon man
This is a ridiculous statement. I bet you can't find even one source for it.
The padding character =, used to pad the base64 string to be a multiple of 4, is technically optional as well since they can be inferred from the length, though different decoders can be more strict than others. So virtually all ascii words are valid base64

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

(I got burned by this a few months ago where Chrome can produce HAR files that have base64 encoded bodies without padding characters, and .NETs built in decoder expects them)
You missed the parents points, where he argues that it took half of the world in a military alliance and years of wars to accomplish the goals.

Doing that against a nuclear state is impossible, as such military action is out of the picture. That leaves only economic action.
Why do you say this is "orthoganal to my claims"? It seems pretty supportive of my claims. Looks like swedes moved around less which means that they changed their behavior due to covid which resulted in less non-covid deaths than previous years.
100x more potent just means you will give 1/100 the dose for the same effect.
Around here, fentanyl is used in ambulances. Biggest side effect is it can stop your breath if it’s more than the dose given in lollipops (field-style first aid thing), so you have to keep an eye on the patient.
Thanks for letting me know! I've updated the diagram with the right version.

Yes, the transistor is a current sink. Since the gate is wired to Vdd, the transistor is stuck on so it provides a fixed current limited by its size. Transistors are much smaller than resistors on an IC so they used transistors instead of resistors.
Seems level headed...didn't sue anyone because it was his fault. Amazing.

If you xor the hashes together, it may be as weak as the weaker of the two functions, though it probably depends on their structure.

Getting much stronger hashing with double compute time is easy. Double the number of round - most alorithms have about 30-60% security margins. It would probably avoid any breaks of the hash (so 80 bits for SHA1), though it can't be enough if the hash is simply too small (64 bit security for MD5/4/2).

Inheritance is valuable and gets a bad wrap, IMO. I just think about Django's `Model` class and how much time that's saved me and probably tens of thousands of other people. It doesn't even really seem to have any foot guns to speak of, it's just a great use of the abstraction to build up database models without mucking about in the stuff you wish was already written.

The downside to them is that there is that the base class in the inheritance chain (BaseModel -> Model -> YourModel) has some magic that is difficult to reason about (the upside being the other side of that same token!). Thankfully, it's reliable and there's rare occasion to dive in.

Maybe this is a me problem. I don't know how to make a nice abstraction layer like that without inheritance, so I think inheritance is sometimes the answer.
These types of HN posts are so valuable to me.

I'm writing my own knowledge base / SRS system and i'd like to start from a mostly fresh dog-food-esque approach. I want to try and record information in such a way that it has the meat of that byte of memory, but pair it with something that could be used to trigger that memory-byte - like your image example.

In the end i'm sure it won't be a revolution, but nevertheless i'm hoping to find ways to bridge knowledge store & retention (ala SRS/etc).

I'm also quite interested in areas of learning. Eg i expect/desire to store far more information than i can retain. So i want a system that can help me move areas of knowledge based on my ability (or time availability) to retain.
This can be a theoretical argumentation, but I'd still think it is crazy. I'd love have an open source being used to improve the lives of other citizens.
What makes you think such actions are likely to quell terrorism. If anything I would think that this would radicalise the targeted population. The US response to 9/11 was stupid for exactly the same reasons.
Please don't post snarky or unsubstantive comments to Hacker News. It makes the threads worse and evokes worse still from others. Thoughtful critique, on the other hand, is welcome.

I left the house today, the store I intended to go to was closed. I went to another one.

Honestly if I'm with my child I frequently leave my phone at home. We can both concentrate on each other that way, and there's rarely anything more important than that. My wife has sometimes suggested I should take a phone with me one particular day, in case she wants to change (working) plans at the last minute, but otherwise we're happy without.

Some of us hate the stuff that our industry produces. The sentiment isn't uncommon in other industries either.
At least in all of the discussions I have seen, the difference between statements and expressions is whether they return a value, not whether they have side-effects. So (def x b) is an expression, because it returns a value. {} in C is a statement, even though it has no side effects.

Now, there are some statements in CL as far as I remember - I believe (declaim x integer) is a kind of statement, at least in the sense above.

But you can write a CL program that doesn't use a single statement.
Proofs (at least when they are written "the usual" way) are human-to-human communication, not human-to-machine encoding.
A proof depending on AC is a more interesting fact than it depending on, say, the axiom schema of specification, so it makes sense that the author might want to say "hey, pay attention to that".
I think part of the issue is that rampant innumeracy makes half-assed attempts at being data-driven actually worse than nothing. The reason is that without clean data we fall back to the old standard: gut feel + pet theories. Which of course is often not great, but then again almost always has more than zero correlation with reality than random. Poorly executed data collection and analysis on the other hand, I think drives many teams at full speed right off a cliff. All the randomness of flying blind with the confidence of feeling certain.
ØMQ promises being "socket on steroids" but I used it quite a bit and it's not so beneficial.

It hides the scalability problem of having many TCP sockets without solving it (e.g. pub-sub over TCP).

It does not solve the ahead-of-line blocking issue.

It requires reading a lot of documentation and doing experiments to find out what is the right combination of " fan-out, pub-sub, task distribution, and request-reply" that you have to use.

e.g. https://zguide.zeromq.org/docs/chapter4/ https://zguide.zeromq.org/docs/chapter5/ https://zguide.zeromq.org/docs/chapter3/

Plus a lot of "magic" happening in the library involves queues that you have no control over. You get applications that hang and fill buffers instead of failing early.

I suspect this is the reason why it never became a new layer in the TCP/IP stack
I've been using Google Keep for years, but I have some gripes with it:

1. No history/undo within a note - I've accidentally deleted parts of notes numerous times
2. Limit on size of each note (I don't hit this often, but it's annoying when I do)
3. Lists only support 2 levels
4. No access to the underlying data
5. General anxiety about Google discontinuing it

I came across GitJournal and have been using it for a grand total of 24h, but I'm really happy with it so far!

As the name suggests, it syncs your notes to Git, and I have it syncing to a private GitHub repo from the Android app. Setup was a doddle.

It supports markdown, lists and journal-style notes, with attachments and images. I'd like the ability to change to a monospace font though (Keep doesn't have that either, mind).

The only 2 notable things Keep has in it's favour are the ability to add collaborators, and notifications. My wife isn't going to install GitJournal though, so I'm happy to keep using Keep for shopping lists and the odd thing I want to collaboratively edit with her.

Everything is OSS, but the official build in the Play Store hides some features behind a paywall - you are free to build the app yourself if you really want. It's a very interesting monetisation model that I think works well for Android and iOS apps. Pretty sure I'll end up paying for the extra features, as I'll get plenty value out of it.

Interested to hear if other HN'rs have tried this, or similar note-taking apps?

This duct type is the Python native extension api (not python ctypes) which allows creating native code modules (aka libraries) in C or C++ and creating wrappers to existing C or C++ libraries. This escape hatch that enables offloading cpu-intensive computations to high performance libraries written in C, C++ or Fortran. Another benefit of python modules written in C or C++ is that they are not affected by the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) problem, thus they can take advantage of multi-core and SIMD instructions and achieve higher performance.

For the former, md5 isnt secure (although its not really an attack you can pull off after the fact). For the latter, i guess so, but it'd be hilarious if whatever attacker is causing you to do forensics made all the hard drives have the same hash to make your life more complicated.

There's a whole market for that. Roller coasters, haunted houses/corn maze etc. They get people as close to the edge of that feeling as possible. They won't get that full effect though because people know they are safe. If you wanted to get the full effect you need to break the illusion that customers signed up for midway through. Convince riders that the roller coaster is broken while they're still going full speed. While in line for the corn maze have a sociable "couple" (staff) go before you. While you're going through have one of them start screaming running back past you - you continue and find the other "dead", background music turns off, bright lights, "exit the maze immediately" over a loud speaker... cue chainsaw man.
That's basically on par with the casualties resulting from 9/11. Blaming Chernobyl on inherent dangers of nuclear power feels a lot like blaming 9/11 on skyscrapers. The USSR was absurdly reckless and incompetent. It wasn't just some freak chance that everything went wrong, even the designers of the RBMK reactor knew that operating it in the way the operators did would be catastrophic. Any competent reactor operator should have understood why the power level dropped so much at Chernobyl and should have understood why just removing the control rods was such a terrible idea to "fix" it.
1. Yeah i understand. Something more free/libre would have been a better choice. On the other hand I also like that it's quite "complete" so i don't have a lot of chances of screwing it up

2. Yeah, I only use DS Photo for backup / browsing on my phone. And Drive to replace Dropbox.

3. Not entirely sure about DS moments, as i use Photostation. In there it's basically each folder is an album (or sub/album).
Of course it can be awkward as it is very specific and opinionated paradigm. It may help to solve some problems while being totally unsuitable to solve others in a sane manner. There are no silver bullets in life.

I really got into these retro handhelds recently and I love them, but I would like to suggest some more options as Odroid has stock issues a lot of the time (do go for them if they're in stock, though, the shipping times are much better than other retro handhelds.)

For cheap, I'd suggest the Pocket Go, [1] but for my favourite I love the RG350P, [2] which is a little more expensive but has a community with a lot of homebrew behind it and it can run pretty much anything from PS1 downwards. There is also the RK2020 [3] with a little more oomph than the RG350P, the RK2020 is a pretty brazen Odroid-Go Advance clone, so if Odroid has the Go Advance in stock, get that instead, but they rarely do.

If you find these just a touch too expensive, they can be found on Banggood for small to hefty discounts. I got my RG350 (not RG350P, the RG350P is a minor improvement over the RG350 but at around the same price) for $60 on Banggood. Also, expect 1-2 month shipping on these consoles, but in my opinion it's so worth it.

Ask HN: What side project made you money?
I am curious to learn what type of side project made you money? How did you identify problem and how did you get first customers?

We hear a lot about cool startups and their stories but there is a lot of marketing touch to it. As someone mostly unknown, it’s an uphill battle for the common man.

Curious to see how others overcame the hurdle. Cheers.
Turkey's interest in Uighurs is far smaller than Turkey's interest in its own economy, and China is spending a lot of money to prop Turkey up - they're buying influence. Needless to say that making an enemy of a security council veto power while you're allied with the remnants of ISIS, annexing parts of neighboring countries etc isn't a wise choice.

Ask HN: Where to learn real-time scheduler architecture?
Hi hackers, I'm working on some real time code in a music context, and am looking resources on writing low level soft-real time scheduler engines in C or C++: patterns, data structures, tradeoffs of different approaches, etc. As in, engines for managing events in time, where the application may be doing a lot of manipulation of both the events, and the timeline. If anyone know of good books, sites, open source code to look at, or really any other resource that gets into this topic deeply, I'd love to hear of them. I'm having a hard time finding books that get into this deeply, I have a feeling I don't know where to look. thanks.
