It wouldn't really be practical to use paper, compass, and straight edge to construct a slide rule. There are a great marks and they must be quite accurate. The are not spaced evenly; they are spaced logarithmically.

To build a cardboard slide rule get a table of logarithms accurate to around 3 digits and layout a "ruler" with marks for the values from 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, ... 10.0. These marks however are placed on the "ruler" at the location corresponding to the log of the values: 1.0 is placed at the start of the ruler since log(1.0) == 0 and 10.0 is placed at the end of the ruler since log(10.0) == 1. In between the over values are placed where their log says they should go, so for example log(5.0) == 0.699 so the 5.0 should appear on the ruler 69.9 percent of the way from the 1.0 mark to the 10.0 mark.

Two of strips of cardboard labeled in this fashion will give you a very basic slide rule. Placing them next to each other it is very easy to position the slides so that you are "adding" the logs of two numbers. This is how multiplication is done using a slide rule.

Warning. The SCP wiki is a memetic attentional infohazard designed by [REDACTED] to destabilise and capture the productivity of curious and/or creative individuals and channel it towards a currently unknown goal. Visitors are reminded to monitor their usage carefully. Early warning signs of contamination by the SCP wiki include: procrastination with regard to less interesting work; signing up for an account in order to "write a fun log entry" (particularly in respect of SCPs 914 and 682); difficulty sleeping "because you're not sure if this should be Euclid or Keter"; referring to the Doctor but qualifying this as "Gears or Kondraki. Not the British one"; sketching humanoid statues composed of rebar, concrete and Krylon spray paint. If more than ten (10) tabs containing pages of the SCP wiki are open simultaneously then the browser should be closed immediately by any available third party, the victim removed from the vicinity of all networked computing devices, and instructed to get back to work before the acute fascination leads to a loss of executive function, livelihood, marriage etc.

Add to this that DoorDash, Uber, etc have given authority over wages and performance evaluations directly to the customers. (Through the practice of delegating tips and ratings to the end user.)

There's a clear imbalance of power there -- it costs the customer nothing to not tip or to leave a one star review. But those things could absolutely impact someone's earning potential as a worker.

Consider how many people seemingly enjoy being petty tyrants when given the opportunity, and the story gets worse and worse for the worker.

I always recommend that people always give five stars and a generous tip (until we outlaw typing). It's not my job to narc on your workers, Uber.

Launched Lifetime Evergreen Deal on AppSumo
AppSumo chose us because they saw the high level of detail, hard work, and impeccable quality of our innovative 3D Chatbot product. Our stunning website that's fully automated with more than 40 plugins was also a good attention-getter.

Even though their acceptance rate is less than 2 percent (worse than Harvard) that didn't stop us from knocking on their door. We learned that through constant and relentless perseverance and meticulousness anything is possible until proven impossible!

Always make sure your "isss" are dotted and "tsss" are crossed because you never know who's watching your online business.

It's only really in the last year, maybe two, that I've become comfortable with this being my role. I'm a jack of all trades, so I fill in the gaps within my team.

About as much of my job is about ensuring everyone else on the team is able to be their most productive, as it is applying my skills and experience to a project of my own. Sometimes that means working with engineers in my team directly on stuff, or acting as a sounding board. Other times that's getting involved in certain meetings to be able to present a more detailed technical response, and potentially head things off at the pass. As I've learned to take a step back from things, I can see just how much my influence has effect within the group.

I do still love getting my hands dirty, I love solving problems. I've no intention of ever stepping away from that kind of work. I don't really have to, either, even with the seniority.
The way they do it is to bake DRM mechanisms into platforms. Intel ME, AMD PSP, Apple T2 chip/SE, those secondary computers bear the DRM hardware features, so end product manufacturers don’t have to handle it.

Unfortunately I'm not understanding what makes vim special here

I can do this in any editor I've ever used

> Another example is when I’m “cleaning” a large csv file. Most times, I can record my movements cleaning a single line, and then replay those actions N times.

I can do this in most editors I used (VSC being an exception). I use recordable macros all the time to clean up lines in emas or slickedit or any other editor that has recordable macros

> A final, simpler one: I have <Leader>f mapped to fd piped into fzf piped into open. Other editors probably have fuzzy file finders. Some of them maybe even use fzf internally.

Can do this in every editor I've ever used too.

It's a pain to integrate into a normal build system, especially if you have to make a change after you get started.
I agree with you. It is a bit too early for this kind of analysis. Let's just hope the new infection surge is mitigated before the death charts have time to follow.

The most interesting stat to me though that I only see mentioned briefly in this post is the fact that over 90% of the deaths was over 60 years old. I think that gives us very clear signs of how to focus the prevention of further deaths.

It is not easy to do something 'lifetime' obviously. I set out to create a service 'for life'[0], it is 15 years old next year, it has loyal clients and it's getting an update (rewrite, modern skin, app, modern features, launching 1/1/'21) for it's 15th birthday. But although I promise never to sell (out; no ads, no data sales etc) and have the entire product (source etc) in escrow, anyone can break their word + contract obviously. I keep promising lifetime anyway and hope that others who do do not break their word easily either.

The seductive power of OOP has little to do with the technical merits. As you mention data oriented programming leads to better programs. Even when using OOP technology, programs usually tend to become data oriented (hello protos), and 'objects' become glorified pure functions.

The big OOP idea is the subject-verb-object interface, confusingly named object-method-arguments. The SVO structure matches the cognitive linguistic bias of the human brain, thus feels obviously right to most humans. Even if better programming alternatives exist. The endless litany of new Verber(args0).verb(args1) is here to stay.
Basically no startup is by definition last forever. Either bought (and sometimes killed by kind of 'google' then) or more or less silently dies of lack of money. 1 in 100 (probably a very wrong number) can become a real company. So basically all the startups are candidates into the list you've mentioned.

It's better to go with something like a $150 Intel NUC running pfsense (free) to connect to the VPN because the vast majority of Wi-Fi routers don't have enough CPU to decipher 256bit AES encryption in real-time. Once you fire up the VPN on even a top-tier router, you're likely to see your overall connection speed drop to 15 mbit/sec or less. A cheap NUC has no problem doing 256bit AES at 200+ mbit/sec.

Few days ago there was a discussion about hex editors.

I will confess I use one written by the author of radare2; in fact, it was apparently the precursor to radare.

It is called ired and I keep a copy of it as a single .c file. Compiles quickly on BSD/Linux. Works well with large binary files.

Infomaniak is a well known Swiss hosting company that existed for over 20 years. I'm a bit surprised to see this name here in hacker news. I would be surprised if this wasn't a long-term move. Simply because claiming "free for life" and back down would be disastrous for their reputations.

I think this consensus has more to do with presuppositions than logic considering the potential implications of Godel's theorem.

> You can allow a user to sort by likes, retweets or time. Anything else is considered publishing.

I think this is also editorial in nature. That's what I think Obama was referring too when he said "even without algorithms".

Because even likes and retweets are a way to editorialize what people are most likely to see. It promotes what is popular, and that's often click bait sensational things (which are often inaccurate or worded in misleading ways). And it also makes them a target for abuse, in that you can create bot campaigns or use human farms to push things to the top by having them artificially retweeted and liked. Or to hide things if there are downvotes as well.

Think about Hackernews, even it still needs moderation even though it only has upvotes/downvotes.

Now I think they are more tame compared to algorithms and machine learning models, but you can still argue they are a form of editorialization.

Sorted by date isn't editorial. Same for search by keyword. Filtered by category or tag or user or date and all those are not editorial in nature.

And if you think back to Google, the big breakthrough for search was to consider the number of backlinks to some content. I think that be a great way to replace sort by likes and retweets. Basically, force a user to post something new that talks about another post and links to it. And then you could have a sort be "number of reference". As long as you force the new post to not only be a link to another one, like require some additional content to be there as well, so someone adds to the conversation, even if it's just: "This is a great read: link".

I feel that create a much higher quality content.

Edit: Okay, re-reading this, I'm thinking my last idea is a lot similar to retweet, since it's basically a new post that back links to some existing one. So most retweeted might be fine. And I'm thinking why that is. I think it's because by retweeting, you're not promoting existing content above others, you're creating more copies of the same content. In a way, it is very transparent as to how many people have the same voice about something. So it makes it clear that it is users who are being vocal about some topic, and not the platform using some metric to promote one thing over others. Where as with likes, it's not clear if it's a user trying to push something to the top, thus editorializing, or if they are just trying to also say the same thing. I don't know, need to think about it some more probably.
So my wife is Chinese and from Shantou, a pretty big city in the South. First time I went, of course we stay at her parents house and I tell them that it's required we get registered at the police station.

Her uncle, my wife, and I went to four police stations. All refused to register my stay and told me to go the next place. The final one told me that they require to see our marriage certificate (which we didn't have as I never read once that it was needed), so we gave up.

I've been many times now, and I've never had a problem although it's a city that foreigners probably do not travel to as much as say Shanghai or Beijing.

I think the multipliers also conceal another issue. A lot of programmers have a net negative impact on your code base. They may be "productive" in the sense that they produce a lot of code, but then that code is riddled with bugs that drag down the whole team's velocity.

If you're 10x of a negative impact then you just produce bugs faster.
I rather refrain from speculating as I truly have no idea! As I describe in my blog post, I just got an email saying "someone" had logged into my account from a new device and then I was kicked out (as that user then changed password and email presumably).

That's an odd and rather insulting term for a problem that cost about $300 billion, globally, to address and prevent.

I spent two years working on Y2K remediation and that was just within one department of one Fortune 100 company. We were still mopping-up a few missed patches of code throughout 2000 as they generated bugs.

This entails converting all Windows user into macOS users. This is not realistic, in my opinion.

In the end, the question should be what makes the most money: keeping Apple silicon exclusive to Apple (and thus selling more Apple devices) or selling Apple CPUs to competitors (and thus adding a new income stream).

I think option number two would make Apple more money, and therefore shareholders should prefer this approach.
My point is that it does work. I tested with Python 2.7 and Python 3.6+.
Uber essentially insisting you give everyone 5 stars just makes the railings meaningless. It’s much better for customers to defect from that game.

It’s the same issue with tipping. The larger the standard tip the more power you give to people that defect and tip nothing. Essentially, high tips simply subsidize freeloaders, it’s much better for society to avoid restaurants or services that use tips.

This separation was never a hard requirement. For example `std::map` implements `lower_bound` and `upper_bound` as member functions because they can be implemented more efficiently than the general `std::lower_bound` and `std::upper_bound`, at least at the time.

The paper itself discusses the member function vs. free function problem: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/p167...

We wanted to optimise for human engagement so we went to real people :) TTS is fine for some things but very few people actually want to listen to a robot reading to them.
hmmm, if I apply that logic in other places it doesn't seem to work.

* if you can't cook with just a knife then it your food should be redesigned to need only a knife.

* if you can't film in with a camera then you should rewrite your movie (no CG).

* if you can't send it by paper then it should be re-written (no animation, no interactive diagrams, no apps)

To put it another way, I'd much rather use Final Cut Pro or Davinci Resolve to edit a video than FFMpeg. If someone became an expert in editing snippets into movies with ffmpeg from the command line and then told me that writing movies that require lots of editing is just bad writing and that it would be better if I wrote my movies so they required as little editing as possible I'd look at them funny.

Isn't it possible building up the system is a force multiplier in the same way that all the examples above the false restrictions prevent lots of progress?
Yes, we work with real narrators who really care about delivering the best possible reading. TTS is fine but it's never going be able to engage an audience in the same way a real voice can.
Not for a holiday though, only when you're planning on living here - which does makes sense.

The punch card was brought about because it was more reliable than a pen and paper where marks are routinely inconsistent. This isn't a UI team where people are just changing the format willy nilly, they are making these changes for legitimate reasons. Sometimes the "simpler" solution isn't as simple and reliable as one would think from just guessing. They actually test this stuff and seek more reliable solutions. Sure, it is slow to implement the new solutions, but that doesn't mean it is less reliable than the previous one. So please stop just guessing.
Suggestions I don't mind, but this is not suggestions, it is ads.

> Your choice is between 3% and 0.15% - not 95% and 97%.

I would put it differently: if we become covid carriers, we become spreaders. Those 3% are, thus, applied to a large population comprised of everyone we interact ina daily basis.

Thus even if at most the likelihood that we die of covid is only 3% tops, the likelihood that at least one person that catches covid from us does is proportional to the number of people we infect.

With a 3% fatality rate, the likelihood that at least one person we infect will die can reach 80% if we spread it to over 50 people.

If we infect someone over 60, the likelihood that they will die from covid grows from that 3% to about 20%.

So unless you are infected while living in a bubble, the real risk is far higher.

To me, this is the key claim of the article:

This is not a genuine partnership, it’s extractive.

Is DoorDash extracting money from its users, the restaurants and the delivery drivers? Or is it actually providing something of value?

To me, the delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats just work a lot better than calling up restaurants for delivery did in the pre-app era. Maybe the drivers are underpaid, maybe the restaurants are underpaid, maybe the food costs too much, but even if they end up charging more money, are they really going to go away like Groupon did? I don't think so, the underlying product is just too valuable. So, I don't agree with this claim. There's a real partnership here. It just hasn't settled down.

As long as the business space is real, DoorDash and Uber Eats and the others are just going to fight tooth and claw to win it. That means discounting the real price, that means raising money at whatever valuation they can get, that means turning the screws on all partners to squeeze out more money. All of this seems like craziness, and it is, but it's craziness in pursuit of winning a prize that really does exist.

Some industries, like the music industry, once they settle down it turns out that one of the players has very little pricing power. I think that might happen here for drivers and for the sort of restaurant that isn't differentiated. But like music, it won't just go away, it'll be a new business structure that perhaps dominates the industry.
