> The ARM platform is currently massively held back IMO by its lack for standardization.

Note there is progress there with things like ARM's ServerReady which standardises a lot. The Windows-on-ARM requirements also push a lot to be far more standardised (it effectively requires a subset of the ServerReady requirements AIUI).
Awesome, glad to get some confirmation. Findka's current sampling method might help with this already, by the way--since it starts out by picking a feed uniformly, posts from the guardian would take up the same percentage of your daily recommendations as posts from random blog, no matter how often the guardian publishes (at least until random blog's posts run out).
There are cheaper ways to validate APIs than Cypress and its class of tools. How about something of the likes of Postman (which is scriptable) or (oversimplified) a JavaScript file making calls combined with an assertion library?

If your goal isn't to test a frontend, Cypress seems inappropriate.
Would threads or processes be a great way of simulating how a user interacts with a web app though?

I tend to think of them clicking things and waiting for a response then moving on to the next thing when that happens (or failing the test when it doesn't) which seems to fit well with an async model.

Cypress _does_ do a lot of magic behind the scenes to stop you explicitly using async/await or promises in the code... Which occasionally bites it.

Especially when you have to use a .then to use values you pull from the Dom.
Those forces lack any sort of central Executive Function. Expecting them to have a consistent focus on one over another ignores the fact that they are inherently split-brained.
One of the most educative ones for drug users as well. Trip reports were always an interesting read, being aware of dosage and effects, reading from others' bad experiences to be avoided.

Erowid is massively educational if you got any interest in psychedelics or mind-altering substances in general.

On the ARM front, MS launched the Surface Pro X last year that runs on an ARM chip they developed with Qualcomm. It is way behind M1 in terms of performance and battery etc but its the same kind of idea - fast ARM based ultraportable with emulation for non-arm apps. So they do at least have a 'dog in the race', even if its a slightly lame dog at this point. I imagine they will be throwing increasingly more resources at ARM in the future.
While there obviously has to be an upper limit somewhere, this isn't (only) about latent demand, but induced demand: People actually drive more because they have to. More lanes have more consequences than wider streets alone, they enable sprawl, funnel funding away from other transport options etc. That has consequences for the housing market, average distances between work and home etc.

This paper explains this quite well: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00166218 - I've heard it is available on sci-hub.

Your second point is very important though, and IIRC is the main reason why so many city planners are so critical of the boring company idea of underground car tunnels: It tries to solve an aspect of traffic that isn't the problem.
Create awareness.

Start a twitter account. Document your progress. Build a following. Gain an audience to sell your dreams to. Then launch it.

And give it away for free. Sell some life saving gems. The “whales” are going to be your biggest spenders.

Good luck!
That would be funny, but there are other examples like that. Pick any community towards the "right" and you will probably get the same result. i.e. search 'reddit dark enlightenment'

Again first result on DDG, no result on Google.
This is the thing I had. You described my exact feelings. I think this is the beginning of the burnout. What helped me was quitting my job and focusing on myself for a bit.

After about 6 months I was sick of not doing "my thing", then found a new project and now all is well. I regained my enthusiasm about programming.

I wish you luck
It's a guess, but surfers might have multiple different words for waves.

And it's not just sports. Meteorologists have many different words to describe clouds.
That's why the GP used the example of tents and parties, and not selling food. You actually do own the sidewalk to some extent - there is a set of regulations in each city that tries to balance citizens' needs for beauty and comfort with the needs of healthy economic activity.

AirBnB - and Uber - just went and ignored these laws wholesale, essentially showing everyone a huge middle finger.

Heyyyy I'm with you here. Broke my ankle a few years ago, badly. I had surgery but recovery is... well, probably never happening, at this point.

It's invisible, but walking hurts. The more I walk, the more it hurts. Damn, I used to go on weeklong treks...

Anyway back to the "am I disabled" topic. I guess it depends on when you're asking.

Good luck!

I don't think that a football score app is niche at all - it's quite a saturated market with lots of competition. Fotmob seems to be the most popular one at least with the users of /r/soccer.
In my experience most simple virtual hosts don't bill for traffic, but rather just come with a capped bandwidth. So probably no extra costs I'd assume.
I see it completely differently: if Microsoft wants Windows on Arm to have a big future, they should push for Windows on the M1 Macs. This would be a showcase, how well Windows can run on ARM, and as Apple machines gain market share push Windows developers to provide ARM-native versions of their software.
Windows on ARM so far faced two obstacles, the lack of native software and the lack of great machines.

Having Windows running on ARM Macs could deliver a helpful push here and also keep Windows relevant for Mac users. On the other side, there is no greater risk, as Apple isn't taking over the PC market any time soon. Apple will likely increase their market share, but even then it is just a fraction of the total market.
The App Store is a great way to get your apps out there–for certain apps. The fact that alternative app stores can exist does not mean the App Store cannot or will not be used: many developers (myself included) would probably still use it because it is simple, easy, built-in, and handles many things for you. The issue arises when it is the only app store, so it no longer has to compete on features–what incentive does the App Store have to improve the app upload experience? None, really. And, finally, the tools Apple gives you to develop your apps are the ones they use themselves, and you could argue that they should be taking this money out of their iPhone sales anyways.
> It's hard enough to convince people that it's worth their time to add their real voice to the cacophony of voices being recorded on election day. To risk imprisonment to add a couple more voices makes no sense.

But the voter fraud being alleged now isn't one or two ballots. It's ballot harvesting here, and lost SD cards there, voting machines not properly recognizing votes, and poll watchers not being allowed near tables. In any of these cases thousands of votes could have been altered, added, or removed.

We need to take this seriously, investigate, show that the fraud (which is inevitable at some level) didn't change the election (hopefully), and tighten up the rules for next time.

Stuff that should be bipartisan. 1) Voting machines suck, even when they only count. 2) Recounts can't be on the same machines as the first count. 3) Counts must stop unless poll watchers are able to watch. 4) Poll watchers should have to make a positive assertion that they could see, and did watch, or the votes should get recounted. 5) All disputed votes, either the ID or the vote marking, should be kept separate and recounts should involve reexamining the entire vote.
Just write JSON and pretend it's YAML. YAML is a superset of JSON so there's no need to generate "nice" YAML if there isn't a human reading or writing it.
Isn't there more standardization in ARMv8?
I think that's one of the reasons why they created the .NET framework: To be able to create a new "virtual" plattform that can be ported to other environments. There is a lot of C# software out there that should run on ARM without any issues with a .NET runtime.
Spend more time than you think to think about how to deliver your games to customers. I don't mean the app-store, but how to get them interested in the game so they open their app-store and actually search for your game. Do you have a community or some other channel of communication for involving people in your game?

The 1 hardest thing about making games is making a game that's so good and fun that people will not only look at it, but also download, play and keep playing it.
The other 1 hardest thing is getting people to even look at that, even if you give it away for free without ads.

I realise this might not be what the question has in mind, but we have a bread machine.

Just buying bread might be more 'automatic', but we've been evolving the process and recipe for the last 6+ months, and honestly the bread is now better than any but the best artisan loaves available locally, and hugely cheaper.

To save time, and overcome laziness, we pre-mix 'wet' and 'dry' 'kits' in batches of 6 or 10 loaves at a time, and divide into loaf-sized portions. Wet is water, sugar, honey, oil, salt, etc. Dry is various flours, oats, multigrains, etc.

When it comes time to make bread (usually the night before we want it), it's a simple matter of pouring a wet kit into the machine, sprinkling over a dry kit, some yeast, setting the timer and pressing 'start'.

The kids do that, and do most of the batch prep, which we/they've optimised for teamwork, and for example we've 3d printed scoops in the right measures for the recipe, to speed measurements.

So from my point of view, I almost have 'automatic bread' :)
Today's friday. The site is cool and hilarious. Problem also looks like a good application for ML.

Bonus points for candid photos, no ads, low resolution images and nostalgic scenes.

I like this structure of HN. Kinda like old Slashdot. Something funny and lighthearted amongst all the heavy articles.
It just shows that a "Lot of Prep" can be "machine learning" to the observer.
There are all sorts of arbitrary requirements to behave in certain way as a proxy of achieving results. Unfortunately this is quite common as it makes the manager feel safe and in control if his subordinates achieve the results in the way she expects them to, but it raises the bar high for no benefit to the bottom line.
I have seen that business orgs within an enterprise with their own P/L usually end up doing an end-run around IT and just buy MacBooks from suppliers or directly from Apple.

Funnily enough, both times I saw this happen (at a large bank and later at a utility company) the only thing we needed from IT was network access and a Windows VM license so that we could run the god awful company payroll app that required IE11 to work. Once a week dozens of very highly paid devs and SREs would boot up a Windows SOE VM, login to the domain, start the payroll app, enter in five rows of data and shutdown. What a waste of time and money.
Brilliant Idea. I had something similar in mind sometime ago. This can be extended to do more.
What knowledge graph (graph tech) you use underneath?
> If their interests on Facebook (what they like, follow, etc) were mostly cat videos, Facebook wouldn't be recommending extremist groups.

The whole point of recommendation algorithms is to find missing edges in the graph, so it can easily lead you to misinformation in 1 or 2 hops.

Think of it this way: the misinformation content is highly valuable - it generates a lot of engagement. There is always a “potential energy” (people like you also liked...) between low-value content and high-value content that the platforms are attempting to convert to “kinetic energy” (engagement - views, clicks, comments) in order to monetize it. The goal is to find the shortest path to the high value content.
You just need to do the simulation once. It's an elementary result that if the solution for a circle of radius 1 is k, the solution for a circle of radius 2 will be 2k.

That was already done in the 19th century without computers. But like you say, that gives only a "close enough" formula. Close enough for farmers, or even rocket engineers who might need much more precision, but not good enough for mathematicians.
the lesson is that there's no recipe for success. every success is blazing their own way, and for anyone trying, they too, will need to blaze their own trail.
Not sure there are necessarily third parties involved, but given Brave's track record of lying about not tracking users (whilst actually inserting affiliate links onto websites they visited and collecting revenues and data from them) as well as lying about donations they solicited going to the parties whose name they solicited them in, I don't see why any privacy-conscious person should trust them
What we know about the Hunter Biden investigation
Back 20 years ago I was working on a product that went into consumer electronics. The big deal back then was product development, including the first big prototype runs, had to be done before September and really beginning of August. The reason is that's when the buyers evaluated products and distributors then placed orders.

Amazon doesn't have buyers. Which worked out okay because they were under cutting the products the brick mortar stores buyers vetted. Except now 30-90% of the stuff on Amazon is crap. That's an opportunity for Best Buy.
Im a Scala fan, so all these will be focused around Scala, but they will teach you about Monad and Category Theory.

He ends his "twitter thread" explaining the results of them never properly testing their new UI & UX. Horrible.

Patient mortality after surgery on the surgeon’s birthday: observational study
BMJ is a well recognised journal of medicine. The study concluced:

Using national data on Medicare beneficiaries undergoing emergency surgical procedures, we found a higher risk of 30 day mortality after surgery when the operation was performed on a surgeon’s birthday. These findings illustrate how large data might be used to assess whether the performance of a surgeon is influenced by life events outside of his or her work environment.

But how many of startups are self-fulfilling prophecies? Runaway success? Where by "success" I mean growth and ultimately good return for investors. The way it's achieved is by... perpetually operating at a loss, burning VC dollars from follow-up rounds. It has that nice pyramid scheme flavor to it, where the final investors - or the public - are the ultimate parties left holding the bag. Such a scheme can indeed be willed into existence if enough push is made to set up an initial feedback loop.
One fascinating thing about the function BB(n) is that it grows faster than any computable function.

The proof of this is simple: if you had a computable function f(n), and f(n) >= BB(n) for all values of n, you could use that to solve the halting problem, which in itself is impossible.

I used to implicitly assume that we can make concrete, closed-form, functions that grow as fast as we want them to. The above shows that this is clearly false.

It's a protocol pushed by one company that wants to bend the web to fit it's purposes. To do that, Google ranks AMP pages more highly. And that's anti competitive and breaks search.

One reason Google wants the whole web to be "standard" is so they can scrape all information more easily, show users rich content by stealing your website's traffic, and create an internet information silo.

I sympathize with the point, because as an individual that’s what I would do.

I see it as a less clear situation for an entity that has so much control other everyone’s life. Phrasing it in a “innocent until proven guilty” would be too much, as they are not governing bodies, but there is a line somewhere that should be set in my opinion, and crossing it should be backed by something legal happening on with it (basically PornHub having an injunction to stop doing business until due trial), and not just the processor acting on its principles.
