Depends on the frequency range being continuously monitored. If it's above the usual signals intelligence range there's a good chance it wouldn't have been recorded.

And we wouldn't know if it had. Holding on to what you can detect and attribute carries advantages too.
"Sharing hard truths" without credible backup should be flagged when it's personal information like that. Gossip and tawdry accusations don't have a place in a community devoted to responsible discourse, especially because lies spread faster than the truth.

Conditionals are so simple it’s basically the first thing anyone learns. Anyone can understand the first approach. The latter requires knowledge that is specific to lower level languages,concepts that are certainly not taught universally.

The latter approach is definitely not the easiest to understand. It is, however, what Linus considers «good taste in coding.»

Been programming since 1965. Strongly object to #2.

I respect the cleverness of Linus' solution. However, it really has no place in production code where not all journeymen are at the same lofty level.

The fact that it requires a detailed explanation exposes its impracticality.
The way I've always understood it is that Bell's theorem eliminates theories with local hidden variables, but Bohmian mechanics has explicitly non-local hidden variables.
Does that mean in theory we can uncover an underlying model, a theorem effectively, that the model is effectively approximating and so remove some of the uncertainty?

You could probably do something analogous for any business that satisfies these conditions:

1. The workers at the business only interact in person with other workers. Members of the general public are not present.

2. The business conducts frequent testing, which should include tests that give a rapid answer.

3. The workers agree to take steps outside of work to limit their risk, such as not going places where they can't maintain social distancing or where mask wearing is not near universal.

You could probably even open that up a little, relaxing #1 to:

1'. There are only a small number of members of the general public present throughout the day, only one or two at a time.

This relaxed rule would allow for things like dentists offices, barbers, salons, and similar as long as they kept the number of simultaneous customers down.
> One of the stunning things for me about "blockchain" revolutionary hype is how long it has gone on without significant accomplishment.

I think that there is a lot more money in the world right now than 20 years ago and definitely than 400 years ago.

A lot of it is just dumb (people inheriting money or getting it for other reasons than intelligence or financial acumen: singers, athletes, etc.) and some it is exploratory/inherently risky (VC) or both. So a bubble can last much, much longer and be much, much bigger.

We're probably going to see more of these.

I guess at this point I should probably just say that I regret not being smart/connected enough to be at the collecting end of one of these hype trains :-)))
Only in this case the second solution is clearer, and not clever in the "old school Perl" way...
In most cases clarity should win out over succinctness. (Sometimes succinct is more clear).

I absolutely prefer the first one in almost all cases, and would probably reject the second one on a code review.

Unless we're dealing with such a core, hyper-sensitive part of the system wherein the compiler would not find rough equivalence anyhow, and the material gains from supposedly 'fewer instructions' would be better.

i.e. a pragmatic performance optimization that was realized in the real world, due to the pervasive utilization of the code ... this would be acceptable.

But for the vast majority of what we do, this won't be the case.

Double-pointers are like flame throwers - they are very 'cool' to some, and technically, they do 'burn things faster', but are just excessively dangerous and almost assuredly not the right too. Unless, they actually are, wherein you get to be the dude who uses the flamethrower, but again, that's rare.

> My laptop “failed” again for the 4th time today. The first 2 motherboard replacements seemed odd, but I was given a completely new laptop from Apple on the 3rd failure.

Ah that's useful, thank you.
Kensington council are certainly partly responsible for the loss of life. In particular, they set a low budget for the renovation - then rejected all the bidders who weren't using the cheap flammable materials for being too expensive.

But the council's intention in starting the project was insulate poor people's homes free of charge, while making the area look nicer. I don't see anything wrong with the intention - it's the budget and implementation where they screwed up.

I also got the same kind of class, I think php was a 2 week class (less than the Java courses or SQL courses, same as the ASM courses).

a 2/3 of my career was python, I 2~3 years of PHP around 2011-2014, and now I'm using it back as I'm finally doing my own company.

And the best part of it ? It's right where I left it, even thought it went from 5.4 to 8 , and from symfony 2 to 5. It feels like leaving your old band from college to find out you all have the same habits, just everyone improved along the road.

Regardless how much I like python, to have been the one needing to own the "python2 to 3 migration" projects of 3 companies, it was not pretty.

Show HN: A collaboration and communication tool for scientists
I'm not sure if the scientists reading HN have an ELN that they LOVE, but it's probably not Benchling or SciNote or LabStep. I've tried these myself, and found them difficult to use for the kind of work I actually do.

We built a tool that integrates easily into the life of scientists www.presearch.co

Unlike competitor ELNs, we work directly with pen and paper, using QR codes and OCR, to digitize, transcribe, and categorize paper lab notes.
You can continue to take notes the way you're used to, then seamlessly transition online to collaborate with your team and other labs.

Would love to hear what y'all think. I'll be here to answer all of your questions and requests directly
What the Church Meant for James Baldwin
>Conditionals are so simple it’s basically the first thing anyone learns.

That's neither here, nor there though.

The simplicity of a concept does not directly translate to how hard it makes the code (assembly is simpler in the sense of having fewer and simpler constructs than e.g. Python but much much harder to code in).

Conditionals, and the exponential increase in state space they bring, are still one of the biggest source of errors and complexity in code.
You make a very good point, and that it has to do with the relative foundational conceptualisational ability of the types of mainteners.

That's great because it kind of speaks to the crux of the problem.

But the first solution does use pointers :)

The second uses double pointers.

I'd argue that 'even kernel maintainers' may not be so easy with the second in reality.

It's probably worth it if there is a performance gain, because it's so low level. But not otherwise.

But good point.
What other Diem Association members have even announced plans to issue a wallet?

As I understand, that number is presently zero. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.) And unhosted wallets won't be allowed - all consumers will need to transact via a Diem Association member. So Diem usage really is 100% Novi for the known future.

Depends on whether the list owns the nodes. I tend to write mine such that it does. Perhaps this code is demonstrative rather than complete.
How likely it is for code to be misunderstood depends on the code readability as well, not just on the person who gets it wrong. Personally, I find the style of Linux lists unintuitive. To me it seems a case of sacrificing code readability to workaround limitations of the C language.
Your ID is most certainly secret. There are acts all over the world, protecting Personal Identifiable Information (Pii). ID, as it includes things like name, address, sex, height, weight, age, eye colour, signature, falls under a variety of legislations.

My ID is not having any of the things you said, done. Not legally. It is illegal where I live, for companies, or persons, to share PII without permission. And even if permission is granted, there are massive restrictions on how to store it, share it, and so on.

My ID is seen as "a secret to be kept" by the state. Laws exist for the purpose of keeping it as secret as possible.

Due to all of these laws, ID is not asked for, at least where I live, in the bizarre fashion it seems to be asked for, where ever you live. For example, when I open a bank account, the banking rep does ask for my ID, look at my ID, and... return it!

No copying, cloning, scanning, or even writing down the number!

Why would they? The purpose of ID is to show "Yeah, this guy is who he claims to be", and that's it. Purpose over.

Once done, the bank issues me ID to use with it, and its services. My bank card.

And remembering ID? Who would I even be sharing my ID with? I've gone years without pulling it out of my pocket. Why do I need it? For whom? When?

Regardless, your last paragraph isn't relevant. You're discussing someone pulling an illegal act, compared to my desire to reduce the probability of an illegal act happening.

I don't think there's much left to say here. You seem to want to ignore all differences of scale and scope, and just pretend that things with different risk factors, are 100% identical.

>Maybe I'm in my own bubble but does TF have small scale uses where you would run it on a laptop?

That, plus huge scale uses where it doesn't make sense to run on a beefy desktop even, so you just use whatever to deploy in a remote cloud/cluster/etc. A laptop means you can do it from wherever, and a laptop with good specs/battery means you can do all other stuff, for longer, with it...

To argue against the notion you would need to be clear on how openness is defined. I was specifically suggesting openness to information that goes against ones existing opinion, and the act of then changing that opinion. I would be very interested to read a study regarding this sort of situation.

The link you provided itself suggests that old frumpy (not open by some definition) people are correlated, and young open (by some definition) people are correlated. So at least one view of openness per se is allegedly thought by some papers to be only correlated when combined with another factor (age). However the link you provided only appears to be a library community-related website vaguely summarizing a very small selection of third party papers, which is basically equally as good as our random HN comments for citeability.

> humans can't explain or understand how we drive, speak, translate, play chess, etc, so why should we expect to understand how models that do these work?

This implies there's no point in pursuing explainability, but many domains involve inferences where the significant predictors are much easier to abstract at a useful level.

For example, if a DLNN could make suggestions as to how to tune a greenhouse given certain yield objectives, then it's reasonable to pursue heuristic techniques aiming to explain what about the parameters most significantly led to the given suggestions.

Frankly Name Manager could also be way useful if they just generified it. Make it so that you can name a cell. Then,l you get named "variables" and, with your proposed lambda implementation, you get both named and anonymous functions in one. They are orthogonal features.

Let's stipulate that studios have money and are willing to spend it.

I think it also depends on whether the fans are ball bearing or sleeve bearing.

At higher temps, you get about 2x life out of ball bearing fans. I’m not sure what their cutoff is for “dead”.

Interesting to see that position doesn’t matter for ball bearings, but vertical is best for sleeve bearings.

Would be interesting to see if a 10yr old fan still spins at the same rpm or has same current draw.

Books are not inherently more valuable than articles, but they certainly seem to be valued more. Honestly, I just read what I like at a given time. It's not that important.

In practice, I read more articles day to day, but I read more book when I travel, because I dedicate more time to reading. I love to sip a beer and read a book in distant places.

Problem being, "depends_on" was removed in version 3, with no replacement in sight.

I honestly don't understand why they'd remove that? why make a new configuration format just to remove critical options? what is the developer supposed to do instead? when will compose stop accepting the v2 format so we're definitely screwed for good? (yes the writing is on the wall).

P.S. For readers who don't have context. Make a basic compose file with a webserver and a database. "docker-compose up" is failing half the time out-of-the-box because the web server starts before the database.

What's wrong with the Flirc case, which is an incredible heatsink?
That's right. The purpose of JAMstack is to take client rendered websites (sites built with React, Angular, etc) and pre-compile the views to be more like static webpages. It is typically faster for the user because the client side framework doesn't have to be downloaded and a lot of the layout and rendering computation was done before it was even deployed to the server. There are some pros/cons of course, and I'm oversimplifying a little, but hopefully this helps explain the basic concept.

To relate this topic back to Computer Science and Math, the linked list traversal problem can be related back to Proof by Induction -- There's a base case (a starting condition) and then the inductive steps: "...proves that if the statement holds for any given case n = k, then it must also hold for the next case n = k + 1"

We can prove using proof by induction that Linus's implementation works because of the base case "indirect = &head", and the inductive step which is the rest of the program.

It'd take a lot more work to mathematically prove that the branching program "works" due to the if statement -- you'd have to construct a proof of each branch and prove that the combination works.

I'm not a mathematician, but this was a major point in CS courses at university. Being able to prove an algorithm works can extend into automated program checking / auditing, etc.

It's not just "taste" -- there's a lot of practical theory to be applied.

What do you mean by credible? How does anyone on here present proof of credibility about knowledge of a particular event or issue? The comment in question was from someone who created a throwaway “exzappos” username and claimed to have worked closely with Hsieh and understood the problems that have now come to light.

It’s impossible for anyone on here to prove their identity or that they aren’t lying about knowledge about something. In that situation anyone can say an anonymous person on the internet is not credible.

Seems like the more appropriate response is to take a comment like that with a grain of salt, but downvoting it to the point of being flagged and deleted made no sense to me either.
