> I think it's a great idea... if you already know regex

It's actually a bad idea in this case because regex is mostly the same in every modern language, so if you know it, you know it everywhere. What you don't know is this.

I agree with the common complaint that regex is effectively write-only, but this is only half due to its terse syntax. A pattern can be pretty complex on its own, and complex things are hard to understand. Imagine what code matching behavior of a complex regex would look like.
Again, I would be happy with tax increases with the rich. My grip is this quote:

"The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes..."

It's blatantly untrue, as are most things comedians say, but Carlin somehow is treated like a scholar. The spamming of his quotes only adds fuel to the culture war.

Consumerism is completely orthogonal to polarization. Video games and Netflix promote consumerism and keep the lower classes "distracted" from change. There's no need to intentionally stir conflict. See how much corporations were willing to spend against Trump on the last 2 elections.
Russian hostility only really began in 2008, prior to that Russia really tried to have good relations with the U.S. They even wanted to join NATO and offered to help in Iraq. It's the U.S. that soured the relations, not Russia.

EDIT: I am distinguishing Russia from the Soviet Union here.
Ughh, he claims to have been scammed by AWS because their services are having an outage, and I'm missing the point?

This stupid hyperboles need to be shot down. I'm sick and tired of the victim mentality and hyperboles. Every time something inconvenient happens, people scream and shout at the top of their lungs like the world has wronged them.

NO, YOU DID NOT GET SCAMMED BY AMAZON BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SERVICE OUTAGE.

Simple as that. People need to calm down and stop acting like the world owes them something. Unforeseen events happen. Take a breath, no one scammed you. If you have an SLA and contract, follow the steps and process to get reimbursed. Anything more is just worthless bickering and victim mentality complaining.
Your talking the web of 1990-2010, fact is most websites today are heavily reliant on - or even exclusively created in - javascript.

Even if most websites wouldn't use the interactivity of JS, there is no reason for there to be three different standards. All those plain-text websites can be created in JSON just as well. The argument is, there is no need for plain HTML at this point, so why is this the base standard?
> I betcha there are more people in China who watch CNN, Fox News etc. than there are people in America who watch CGTN etc.

Likely true, but irrelevant.

(FWIW, there are more English speakers in China than America.
Also, historically, at one time there were more Christians in Asia than in Europe. There was a Bishop of Beijing. I read up on the history of the old Silk Road a while back.)

The point is that you don't get thrown in jail if the authorities notice you watching the other fellow's broadcasts.

No one in the West is going to jail for watching TikTok, eh?
> Everything profitable is ethical?

I never made this claim, as ethics in this case is subjective: some things are ethical in some eyes and unethical in others, and profitability is the mechanism of reaching consensus between these views.

Your point about transparency is valid, I have to admit. However, I don't think that it applies in the case of food production: most meat and animal products consumers are well-aware that in order to get meat, you need to kill someone, and if you want to keep milk and eggs as cheap as possible, you can't afford to treat the animals well.

I don't know if it is included in your Google takeout.

98% of users enable that option. The fact that whatsapp is e2ee is a complete lie.

Use Signal for true e2ee, or if you don't like it, Telegram. Telegram stores everything in the cloud tho. (they haven't disclosed any private messages, and are much more trustworthy than Whatsapp). They just wanted to back up messages without giving it to Google/Apple
Kinda shocking that this comment is allowed to stand. Is this really what this site is about?
There's no way to sell eggs and turn a profit without killing hens. Their production wanes as they get older and they are killed to make way for the new generation. This has nothing to do with demand for meat. Your parent comment is right; these are not "no-kill". At best, they're "less-kill".
> Because as a currency it's good

Bitcoin is seeing essentially no use as currency (in the sense of medium of exchange, rather than speculative good).

> Unable to be manipulated [...] governments [...] will print trillions on a whim.

Bitcoin do not get printed on a whim, it's true. But this year, Tether volume has increased from $4B to $18B, and the timing of those Tether backed Bitcoin purchases has certainly been awfully convenient for the Bitcoin price.

> I can send thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin

"worth" is doing a lot of work in your sentence. You can convert your dollars into cryptocurrencies quickly. You can transfer the cryptocurrencies at a reasonable speed. But converting the cryptocurrency back into regular money, and the exchange rate at which you will be able to do so, are entirely different questions, and not necessarily ones with favorable answers for the customer.

> Large sums of bitcoin I can securely hold

Unless you have the misfortune to live in an active war zone, I find it hard to think of a LESS safe way to hold large amounts of money than cryptocurrency.

> This entire system is out in the open for inspection.

Yeah, right! The typical crypto company was funded by an Estonian teenager, backed by a consortium of Colombian drug lords, and two years into the operation, it turns out that the only copy of the password to the cold wallet was lost in a botched Visual Basic upgrade, and now the CFO is missing, presumed dead after a luging accident in the Cayman Islands.
> probably biased to go against ML solutions for preconceived reasons.

Wow. Nice ad hominem. Thanks a lot for that.

> Just reduction of operating costs alone is usually a reason to favor ML solutions

I have yet to see one solution in the industries I work in and the clients I work with, were a ML solution beats simpler systems in development and operation costs (given the current real world environemnt there).

And believe me I try to sell these projects to clients, as I strongly believe that in the long run they could gain something from that.

But that would also mean getting rid of a clusterfuck of different systems, different data definitions from department a to department b as well as market x to market y. Politically motivated data mangling (we do not want "central" to know everything so we do not send all data or data in the necessary format).

When you see that markets use technically the same CRM system for example, but they rename tables, drop columns, use same dimension names for different things and so on integrating one market into a central data lake becomes a daunting task, let alone 130 markets. And this is just CRM. Not sales. Not - given automotive - the data from retailer systems.

But this would nonetheless be the data you need for ML systems to learn from. And then there are legal issues. car dealerships are separate legal entities. They are not allowed to "just" send PII date to the central brand (at least not with European GDPR). There is also a lot of stuff central just isn't legally allowed to know like discounts given - just to name one example.

After you get all of this entagneld and cleaned up (and changing all necessary business processes that depend on said structures I strongly believe ML would probably be cheaper. And leading to better results.

Don't think that I am telling my clients otherwise.
That article is only looking at if the CPU is fast enough to keep up with an import. Basically a toy benchmark. You're going to be butting up against the memory limit in no time once you start actually editing.
how can one validate that the cached version is indeed bit equal to the one stored within ipfs?
I think it would be great for both products if they were integrated tightly. The chat features in quip are barely used because they’re so anemic, and Slack is missing a document catalog UI, and, in a way, has gone to war with document catalogs because it wants chat to be the “center” of work. But this is often a mismatch for customers who view both as equally important.
I mean, we're talking about an industry where at least one company fudged with their publishing algorithm to see if they could make people sad. (Spoiler: they could.)

> If I build a compiler and test a thousand constants for default configuration options and choose the ones that perform the best

What if that was automated in the build? I had assumed the quote meant that it would be, not that they'd manually run a few random cases and manually pick the best. I thought it be automated, like given a new course, you'd run some training routine where the machine would play the course say 100 times each time choosing random coefficients and at the end, it'll take the ones from the pass that resulted in the quickest playthrough, and those would say go in some config file and become the coefficient used by the AI CPU race cars for that course.

To me this is machine learning. Especially if you crank up that 100 to 1 million or 1 billion. At that point, it's still something that only a machine could do, I couldn't realistically try 1 billion random coefficients for the ones that result in the fastest playthrough.

So in effect, I see the machine is learning which coefficients perform better for a given course. If it tried 1 billion, it learned that out of 1 billion different possible coefficients, some particular set was the best.

> there's no feedback loop, the machine doesn't "learn" anything

So that's interesting, because if my prior statement is not to be considered machine learning. My next question is what's the criteria to go from the above to machine learning proper? So it seems that it could be the learning has to be a feedback loop. So each attempt at learning must take something away from the previous.

I'd be okay with this definition. And now I'm thinking what's the most minimal modification I can make to meet this new definition.

What if as it tried random coefficients, it remembered the ones it tried prior? And what if it made sure that no new attempt at a random set of coefficients had already been attempted before? This isn't super refined, no heuristic to what are the best coefficients to try next given the ones tried prior like say what linear regression would accomplish. But it still meets the definition. It starts random on the first round, and the next round is no longer truly random, since it can't pick the previous's round coefficients again. So at least it's descending along the set of possible coefficients through a path that will eventually try all combinations.

Would this be enough to be considered machine learning?

I'm also thinking this can start to sound a lot like Evolutionary Computation. Oh boy, in all honesty, I've always been confused about differences between stochastic, metaheuristc, and machine learning optimization techniques.
What you're suggesting is that Congress could potentially pass new bills. And my point, going up to the top of the thread, is that Congress -- and not the Biden administration -- would be the one making this decision. You can get a flavor of what they might do by looking at their past decisions.

What you're doing instead is hypothesizing without evidence that they'll do something that they have demonstrably not opted to do -- and also implying cynically that the partisan makeup and/or public pressure on Congress will not change the outcome. This despite the fact that we have months of Congressional action from both parties to examine, and none of it bears out your predictions.

Probably it's not necessary to check for revocation that often though. It could even be argued that it's only needed when the binary is updated.

And it's absolutely not normal to fail if that revocation check doesn't succeed anyway.

to see how legendary this man was, you just have to watch Maradona, the HBO documentary. which is also arguably one of the best sports documentaries. He was a polarizing figure no doubt, but this man won Argentina the world cup single-handed. ahh see the pun. he also made napoli a backwater team into the powerhouse it is today. n remember most of the matches he won, he was high on coke i.e not playing at his full potential.
It's iconic because it was controversial but he got away with it, also because he was anyway a truly exceptional player. First thing that comes to mind being his other goal in the same match.

But otherwise using the hand to score a goal in football is not that much different from using a cheat device installed in a race car, taking an illegal shortcut in a marathon, or even performance enhancing drugs. Without drug testing many iconic wins wouldn't have been reviewed and dismissed.
Many avid readers I know are happy with physical books but also happy to use an e-reader for purely pragmatic reasons (easier to carry, custom font settings).

As for piracy if the places I see libgen and it's kind referenced are any indication then this isn't about just any readers but about students, professors etc. who want to access scientific publications.

It would be interesting if Apple treated their off-chip RAM as a RAM disk. Could make for some intriguing possibilities. So you'd "swap" from the hot/ on chip RAM into slower GDDR RAM instead of to the SSD.

A lot of IT is the parsing and mapping of one kind of language (whether markup, DSL, Turing complete) on to another.

Looks pretty nice, but for many you'd be better off with:
- AMD 5600x or 5700x (saving $500 or $400)
- Samsung 970 pro 2TB for $229 (twice the space for the same price)
- rtx 3060 (in a few weeks)

You'll save a fair bit of $600, run quite a bit cooler, it will be much easier to be quieter, and have twice the disk space. Or buy 2x2TB NVMe (motherboards with 2x m.2 are common these days).

Sure the 5600x/5700x isn't as fast in throughput, but how often do you max more then 6/8 cores? Per core performance is near identical and with more memory bandwidth per core you run into less bottlenecks.

I bet over a few years more people would notice double the disk than the missing extra cores.

I'm sorry to say that you have 32bit CPU (ARMv7), and I only build for 64bit versions. There are quite a few libraries I need to compile myself to build the app, and supporting several architectures is too much work for me at the moment. If you leave your email at the website I will notify you when the 32-bit build is ready.

Thank you for your interest and feedback, it means a lot to me!
What is misleading about it?

I included ' can read when you report'.
I source option data from a combination of some paid APIs, some free sources. You can find a lot of data sitting around the internet if you're careful about it and respect robots.txt... Some people even pay for XIgnite and other crazy expensive data sources, but then have not secured their own endpoints (some SaaS operators have done this) so I scoop that data up too.

but as @marketgod suggests, you can definitely just use broker APIs, thats going to be the best bet for the most part and if you're price sensitive.

It doesn’t even compare. Pele played in a primitive era of the sport where the existing rules (or lack of them) helped him thrive.

Maradona played in an era that is more akin to modern football with stricter rules.

Don’t get me wrong. Pele was great, but I doubt he would have been that great in modern football.

In the earlier HN thread when the server was offline, it was said that Apple only cached OCSP results for 5 minutes. Is that not true? If it is true, I don't think that's what GP is asking for as far as local caching.
Not GP, but: although I'm not currently doing this consistently (I don't have the resources to set up build servers and there aren't many build servers for my distro yet) the distro I use does make it pretty straightforward to do this: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-chall...

The difference, though, is that using Linux or even LibreOffice is or can be an individual decision, so it's much easier to casually and gradually adopt.

> I love your country but you have some very deep seated problems and having a three day duel for this piece of shit shows them very well.

Couldn't agree more.
This is backwards thinking. Why require customers to file a claim for what are obvious outages? Instead, AWS should automatically apply credits to those accounts that have paid for guaranteed uptime without requiring this whole silly claims process.

The mechanism can be really simple. If AWS themselves posts an outage to their status page and/or some third-party service posts an outage then credits are immediately applied to the services where there are outages for those that paid for high level uptime guarantees without requiring any claims process. It can easily be done if they want to do it that way.

Of course from a business perspective I understand why they're doing it the way that they are. If they can make customers jump through hoops, then only those who really care will follow through. Meanwhile the uptime guarantee can continue as an empty promise.
