Entirely anecdotal, of course, but several of my republican relatives (big family) moved to Idaho a year and change ago -- shortly before the covid era.

The last family gathering we all had together, pre-covid thanksgiving, they all spent much of the time telling me how I had to "be afraid" of Mexicans and Arabs for a variety of reasons. I'm kind of dumb in social situations and kind of polite so I just stood there entirely unsure how I should even respond to that.

have I talked to a single republican? I've talked to several that I'd known all my life, who all came out with the race baiting stuff.
the "no CPU" in your title is kinda wrong that way: it does have a CPU, it's just not a single integrated circuit or microprocessor. Maybe "TTL only" or "TTL chips only", without the "no CPU" part is more accurate, if "no microprocessor" doesn't fit?

Why the Chinese did such a massive coverup on covid19 ?

Why the CCP would not allow the WHO into China to make a determination for months ?

What do the Chinese have to hide ? A LOT.

Covid19 was likely the 1st test of bio weapons against the world by the CCP, more to follow soon.
I have never had any issues with my provider. It's the biggest provider in Belgium and Belgium is not known to censor text messages.

So I think this possibility is really low. I'm pretty sure it's on Amazon's end, other verification messages always worked fine.

Doing an additional test though ( sending works fine, testing receiving now)
He seems, now, to be making better choices than perhaps he did previously. I would not condemn someone for that.

Fair enough, I'm glad it helps people!
It is still a useful conceptual framework. Maybe this sparks someone’s interest. Agree it is much harder than it appears :)
Yeah, I've never used the combination professionally but Any wity Ivy always struck me as the happy zone. Although, over time, Maven's lack of explicit flow control has bothered me less and less.
Android is the only reason I put up with Gradle, for anything else Java related, I turn to Maven and happily forget that Gradle even exists.

It is Ant all over again, with Groovy slowness and game rig hardware requirements to perform in a sane way. There is hardly any Android conference without build related performance improvement talks.

That covers most of the algorithms you'll see in a coding interview test, but there's a ton more complexities outside of search spaces, sorts and nested O(n) loops.

Even some graph operations will leave familiar territory.
I do not have much sympathy for her, given my low opinion of English-speaking Indian Media and their faux-elite mannerisms. Certainly some level of Schadenfreude. But, I won't go into that here.

This seems more like a targeted public embarrassment operation than an attempt at identity theft. Objectively, Nidhi made a ton of elementary mistakes that would be inexcusable for a journalist. This includes non-technological mistakes such as not contacting the Dean or prospective collaborators who presumably voted to have her on the faculty. There is an immense amount of hubris on display as well. That being said, the scammers were incredibly sophisticated and committed to the ruse.

Either ways, this sets a bad precedent. The internet allows for sophisticated scams like never seen before. A public embarrassment in the world of twitter can easily end careers.

I hope she finds some quiet in the midst of this public show where she has been made an unwilling jester. She should have handled this in private. Now that it is out on Twitter, trolls will make sure she never forgets what I presume has been incredibly traumatic.
Oh btw, love the "expected value" definition and I'll admit I don't usually write comments with that in mind. I'll try to do so from here onwards.

"In the early morning of 10 August 2020, Sravani Vaddi, a postdoc astronomer at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, was working from home, but her thoughts were at Arecibo’s giant radio telescope. At 2 a.m., she had one precious hour to focus the 305-meter dish on NGC 7469, a distant galaxy. At its center, two supermassive black holes wheeled around each other, following an earlier galaxy merger. Vaddi wanted to see whether having two dark hearts instead of the usual one made the galaxy shine more brightly by stirring up gases and stoking starbirth. Radio emissions from the glowing gases would help her find out."
Ask HN: Long time tech folks, what's your story?
I recently saw a post on HN (I cannot remember which one now) where a number of long time techies (programmers and the like) told small portions of their adventures in tech.

I found it fascinating! I have been programming for at least 15 years so maybe I felt some kind of kinship or relatability to what I was reading. Still, I thought I'd make a post here and ask for more.

How long have you been in tech?

In what capacity?

What are you doing now?

How has tech changed since you started?

If you could change tech today, what would you do?

What are some negatives and positives of the current tech landscape?

What advice do you have to give to others?

Or just chat about your experiences in general. I love reading them.
I’ve gone through phases of intense note taking and planning around organization.

At the end of the day, I find the overhead of highly structured notes gets in my way and distracts me from actually accomplishing anything using the notes. Obviously these systems work for some people! But I’ve found detailed engineering of knowledge doesn’t work for me...

What does work is a stripped down pair of tools: a) an inbox for capturing in-the-moment, which can be anything (a dedicated page in a notes app, my email inbox, a piece of paper); and b) a medium term “filing cabinet” for storing info for later (these days I use notion).

These let me not lose an idea, and reference it later. The key is having one default place to dump everything.
> but can't this official move being seen as way to curve competitors?

What competitors are using chrome sync? Other comments mention Brave and Vivaldi, but they both have their own sync systems. Edge has Microsoft accounts, ungoogled-chromium has sync disabled completely...
Funny, I did base this on RoR2 actually. It didn't get all the features that makes it a RoR 'roguelike/roguelite' as time was limited for the classes and students were new to Unreal.

Perhaps eventually I still get time to evolve it to include proper RNG and procedural content
I think you've misunderstood my comment. Obviously I am not arguing that apple doesn't know what they are doing.

The article suggested that ARM announced that architecture licensees can add instructions to ARMv8-A, which isn't true, so I posted a comment saying that. The point isn't that Apple can't do this, it's that this situation seems to be out of the ordinary, and therefore even more interesting than the article indicated.

Clearly Apple can do this because they did, and I'd like to know what kind of terms Apple has, but I doubt that info will ever be public.

Since you're interested in going through my comment history, you can see that I made a (incorrect) comment in which I said AMX was probably an out of core accelerator, and then I had an interesting exchange with 'my123 in which I learned that I was wrong and AMX really is a set of CPU instructions.

> Further, you seem to be misunderstanding ARM compliance. If Apple has 100% coverage of the ARM test suite

You're assuming the ARM architecture has undefined behavior or entirely implementation defined behavior for unused opcodes, which is not generally true. The behavior of raising illegal instruction exceptions or whatever is mandated by the architecture.

> And the thing about the embedded processors is for low level subscribers, with a built-in mechanism for decoding the extension and delegating it to the custom block. e.g. stock cores, low license. Apple is using neither stock cores or a low license.

This was my point, yes. The announcement of arm custom instructions is irrelevant to AMX, but the article said otherwise.

Yeah, you really got me here. I'm interested in watching Apple extend the architecture after ARM has aggressively defended their ownership and controlled fragmentation for decades, and I'm curious if it really is "ARM, shut up and look at our market cap, Love Apple" and Apple can take this as far as they want, or, if not, what kind of rules ARM has made for Apple (e.g. don't document the instructions or include them in public toolchains). When people say things that suggest Apple is not doing anything out of the ordinary (stuff like "lol any architecture licensee can add instructions", or "Having additional instructions -- you know, being an architectural licensee"), I point out that has not been true.
What you are suggesting here makes this already interesting story even more interesting. Perhaps there are holes in her story but if she really knowingly faked the whole thing, why would she resign from her job?
The problem with that is that informal use of big-o like notation is a lot more intuitive than the fancy language in your explanantion.

Most people who can program can grasp the informal meaning of O(n^2) pretty easily. They may not connect the word quadratic to that say concept.
Maybe.

Funnily enough I was a contractor providing leadership and helping orgs for the last 5 years. I did my best to varying degrees of success because the leadership themselves would either let you run with it or not. My 1 man band is very different from thoughtworks though.

Now I am leadership and it's way easier to just make decisions.
Self Defense is a core human right, I do not consent nor should anyone consent to have that right outsourced to the "police" or any other government body. When seconds counts the police are minutes away.

Guns are a tool for self defense, as such it is my human right to own one for my own protection.

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson,

“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty…. The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.” – St. George Tucker,

Finally for me it comes down to a simple truism, if the government can not trust me with a gun for my own defense, I sure as hell can not trust them with a gun to "defend" me with. So if the government wants disarm the population, it should also disarm itself, for how can a government be "For the people by the people" if the people in government do not have to follow the same laws as everyone else

So if all government agents are barred from owning guns, then I will also give up mine.
In the early years, Microsoft had written some system hacks that they used to run Word and Excel on Apple computers. Apple had to be careful not to break those hacks when releasing OS updates. Eventually Apple got tired of a vendor dictating changes on it's own OS and got Microsoft to remove these hacks.
I hate to say it but that article is overly confusing and needs better organization.
Misinformation: The First Digital Drug
Add to the list of preventative measures:

- Establish a Twitter account for anything dev ops related.

Don't assume you'll have the ability to communicate via your internal infrastructure. It also helps customers to know there is a 3rd party medium for staying informed and getting in touch.

Knowing that such things exist, while minor, is good marketing fodder as well. It walks the comms are important talk.
On this topic of going back to nature and/or traditional living in China, there is a relatively famous Youtube channel by Li Ziqi:

> to assume the emails were not actual @harvard.edu ones

If that is so... so what? Plenty of organizations use different domains. Fidelity staff uses "frm.com"-- as an example-- while most customers know them as fidelity.com.
Agreed.

The use of "Big O Notation" itself as a way of referring to algorithmic complexity seems like a misnomer, considering that the topic is about analysis rather than the notation used to express the results of such analysis.

Unfortunately academic textbooks have terrible "UX", so students end up dealing with confusing presentation of topics, hence we're stuck with labels such as "Big O Notation".
I think that complex organizations tend to develop caste systems. The caste hierarchy could be arbitrary, or based on imaginary metrics such as being "closer to revenue." It could have some basis in fact, for instance doctor hours are more valuable than nurse hours, which are more valuable than patient hours.

The upper castes have to be responsible for the work environment, otherwise it degenerates: The best people in the lower castes switch jobs to join a higher caste or a company with a better caste system. Or they unionize, either formally (like nurses) or informally by forming silos. Thus the castes become self fulfilling.

As an aside, one thing that HN has taught me, reinforced by this thread, is that I would not have survived in a high throughput coding environment, and am glad I didn't steer my career in that direction, though I love programming. I don't have the self discipline, and I'd have burned out quickly.
A bit of deception on how their site ended up on the block list. They strangely block out a part of their response, but we can see "was cleared", which sounds a lot like "the malware some nefarious agent put on my site was removed".

How sites end up on the block list-

-they host malware, either intentionally or because they were hacked.

-they host a phishing site, either intentionally or because they were hacked.

Protecting users is a monumentally more critical task than your concerns.

And this system is incredibly valuable. When I get a text to a phishing site, I immediately report it to the safe browsing list. I also notify the nameserver, the hosting agent, and if applicable the SSL cert provider. Bit.ly if in the chain, though they never do anything [fun fact, even -- phishers and malware authors love putting bit.ly in the chain because they're paying subscribers, and as domains are taken down they can just change the destination. Bit.ly exists on the backs of scumbags, and itself should be on the safe browsing exclusion list]

Usually the safe browsing list addition happens within an hour, saving many people from being exploited. The nameserver and host -- DAYS. Namecheap takes an eternity to do anything, even for outrageously blatant phishing sites. GoDaddy - an eternity. SSL providers seem to act quickly, but propagation delays makes that negligible.

EDIT: 11 days ago I reported the scn- prefixed netflix.com to all of the above. This is a blatant phishing site, and was mass texted to Canadians. It was blacklisted by safe browsing within an hour, likely saving a lot of people grief.

Namecheap, who I informed by their email and by their garbage ticket system, still host the nameserver and physical hosting for this site. 11 days later. Grossly negligent behavior, and there needs to be some window of responsiveness because these players are just grotesque at this point.
Basically, yes. Google has been awfully slow at implementing some Java 8+ features. Their current solution is D8 desugaring, which basically rewites all the APIs into JDK8 compatible code.
Has the "batteries included" aspect of things like exponential backoff improved? Last I was in the details, most of the popular client libraries offered little, and you had to implement it yourself.

It is quite good Google cares about users. But it does not care about website owners. There is one and only reason. For Google WWW is a competition for Google Play marketplace.

Literally open internet is a competition for Google. That is why the company has no problem to issue domain wide ban, without informing website owner, without any explanation and with showing a scary message to website users to make them go away.

Author of the blog post seems to believe it is an AI action. But what I can see his company was hit with some serious damage due to a company that, I assume, has some competing apps on its Google Play platform.

I can believe AI can be the cause, but it should be a court to decide if there is no collusion and who should pay for the damage.

JEE and .NET, where the build takes care of handling JavaScript, CSS and HTML files, provided they are on the expected project layout structure.

Just to clarify, this is not a fully open source project. More like freemium or just enough for the community to contribute and maintian free connectors which make it usefull. If you want security, you have to pay. There are non-free parts to it that you are not allowed to use. And contributing these features would probably not be allowed.

Yeah I'm kinda surprised. Most people in the hacker/maker community I know are pretty disorganised like myself.. I know for me this kind of thing will never fly, it requires too much dedication. In this sense I'm not surprised it came from Germany as they love formalising things. It's really in their nature and I imagine this is also why they're so good at technological things.

But for me it'll never work, I know I'll start on it and then I have a rush project where I don't have time to keep the docs up to date and then I'll abandon it altogether :) I'm the kind of guy who fills up their desktop with everything they're working on and when it ends up being full just moves it to a folder "Old Desktop" (which is in fact a chain of "Even Older Desktop" folders :) :) :) ). Somehow it seems to work for me though, it really surprises me how I can find stuff back from 10 years ago just by seeing the icons of stuff I worked on around the time. And it's really zero effort which I like.

And really, I like relying on my memory.. If I don't remember something maybe it wasn't worth remembering. And discovering it once more may lead to other interesting discoveries.

But I'm glad it helps others forward in their goals! I didn't expect it at all though.
Way to state the obvious to those outside the lie bubble.
If your country has natural resources it is very easy to heavily control that part of the economy and suppress the less controllable parts of the economy (by shutting the internet down for example).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics) it’s a little hard to describe as it’s fairly abstract.
It’s a structure that is subset of abelian groups (groups where operations on elements of the group don’t depend on the order written, ie x+y = y+x).
For example the set of ints with “normal” addition and multiplication is a communicative ring
That's not even close to all there is to it. Complexity analysis is a relatively young field with lots of deceptively simple unsolved problems.

For a simple example of how it's a lot more than that, follow Tarjan's proof of the disjoint set's amortized time complexity[0]. It's not at all obvious, even though the disjoint set is a very simple and practical data structure.

I use a rough zettel method as well. I agree about the place to dump everything being the key. Too much structure gets in my way too, but the process of condensing and refining my notes into my zettel has been where some of my best ideas and insights have come when learning and/or creating and designing.
