There is a real example I ran a few months ago. How to read it is here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pileup_format

Positions like 172 have errors more often than not because the basecaller is wrong sometimes (note: this is from a sequence verified sample).

The errors come up more often in some sequences than they do in others. I’m not really sure about symbol processing, but if you have any beginner resources for that I’d appreciate them!
The supply chain stuff always sounds to me like a scam, and every time I had someone pitch me a blockchain supply chain startup it was indeed a scam (and I told them so). Now maybe there’s an element I’m missing, but there’s still a fundamental problem in linking a real world object to something on the chain. Digital currency works because it is only on the chain, and we manage to agree that it has value, or we use trusted third parties to move that value to the real world in something we can tell is real USD (although the banking system is so opaque that...)

Funny thing is this has actually motivated me to move away from using rmarkdown. To the point that I went "backwards" and wrote several reports and an academic paper in Sweave after using rmarkdown for years. My primary motivation was that I needed to know the documents could be built by any R session, not just from within RStudio. I didn't want to be in a situation where my "reproducible" document relied on a specific IDE to build correctly.
What about "Semantics Engineering with PLT Redex"?
I still do this after 15 years! Commitment means creative autonomy though. If valid solutions get tossed out by impostors then it becomes impossible to sustain. Or when authoritarians and people low on agreeableness traits start trying to make everyone predict all implementation details up front under the guise of process improvement (it allows unexperienced managers to pretend they understand details).

There is a minimum level of mutual co-operation and diplomacy required to nurture commitment and ownership, and alas it seems so uncommon as soon as a team goes over 5 people IME, unless the business is REALLY careful about hiring for openness and agreeableness.
This is one of the many cool things that zsh comes with out of the box. It ships an autoload-able colors¹ script that does largely the same thing as your fragment, but you know it available wherever zsh is.

In much the same way it comes with both a termcap² and terminfo³ module, allowing you to easily avoid hardcoding system specific escapes in to your config.

There's no valid reason to claim that stocks in general are too volatile. Or you could equally say that stocks aren't volatile enough. What's the optimal level of volatility?

Reducing stock settlement times below 2 days wouldn't impact volatility. Those are orthogonal issues. And current blockchain technology isn't scalable enough to handle even a fraction of stock transactions.

I suspect that's in large part due to their interconnectedness with the European Union. Neither are Schengen countries, or Eurozone countries, but they both participate in the Single Market - and Norway is a full participant in the EEA. [1,2]

Roughly speaking they coordinate on all major rules and policies and practices with the entire rest of the EU and therefore are effectively part of the EU for regulatory and trade purposes.

The UK on the other hand, obviously just wrapped up its Seppuku process of leaving the EU, and we're already seeing the relative increase in their being taken advantage of by corporate interests due to their much weaker position.

Switzerland and Norway take advantage of the power of the EU to push back on corporate interests, and the UK is getting kicked around as its negotiating power just went down by a factor of 10.

If we had a long-term bottleneck here, there might be some possibility here, but then again if there were a long-term bottleneck we could just build more capacity. However similar they are, I doubt you can just turn this on in a month or two without serious potential issues, and given how many people the vaccine is going into you have way more potential downside than potential upside.

Which is really the issue with all potential fixes: either they are unknown and thus unacceptably risky for something we will use on hundreds of millions (or billions) of people, or if we take the time to get to acceptable risk it will be too late to really help with this issue.

One of the things that I really like about this course is that it teaches both raytracing and rasterization. Usually, computer graphics tutorials are either the practical, higher-level, rasterization-focused kind (oftentimes around half "how do opengl"), or how the business card raytracer works.

Having a single course written by a single person that presents both major rendering techniques is amazing.

Haha, any English or Indian cricket fan surely knows that phrase quite well. I remember it growing up in the 90s and it surely precedes that.
The other issue is that people who leave reviews generally either _love love_ the app, and that's why they review at 5 stars. Or, they are mildly irritated by some feature they didn't like, followed by a 1 star review. The mildly irritated people far outweigh the love love people.

In fact, in Apple's early days, every time someone uninstalled an app they used to prompt for a rating, which of course was highly skewed for 1 star ratings. Why else are people uninstalling.

I've also found that there is almost never a middle ground - it's a 5 star or a 1 star. This basically makes the ratings almost worthless. How is the same app so terrible it gets the lowest of the low for some people and yet the highest praise from others.

I have some apps I make for fun. They do have some users, they usually get terrible ratings, but I've found - and I'm glad my income isn't tied to these apps - that I usually just ignore the ratings and just keep trying to make the apps better.
Expanse enjoys the benefit of tighter plotting, modern special effects, better acting, and an almost total focus on the season's narrative arc as opposed to individual episodic stories (which have only minor world- and character-building). Still, I think B5, despite its many flaws, will always be the definitive TV space opera in terms of narrative arcs. Expanse has a tendency to get preachy, like BSG did, about politics. I found B5 a lot purer and more universal, but maybe that's just my selective memory/recollection.

I wish someone would remake B5 eventually, true to the original but dropping all the unnecessary material (and useless arcs), pulling in the TV movie plots, and addressing the telepath war.

Those other shows? I liked some individual episodes, but I think they're all a step down.
Walmart closed stores in Canada that unionized. Why wouldn't Amazon close a warehouse? Seems easier to close a warehouse than an entire brick and mortar store.

https://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/10/business/worldbusiness/wa...

Union participation is very tricky. It's supposed to be voluntary, but there is evidence that those who don't join the union are denied employment, and advancement. The problem with unions is that they're never really voluntary. I would hate to see the unions of old that used violence to force people to join; or for a more recent example, card check initiatives to make the vote be non confidential.
Not really. The usual setup is charging up a capacitor and discharging it through a "detonator" which is just a resistor. The resistor explodes and starts the main explosive. This is done to get synchronized detonation of all detonators, which is needed for symmetrical implosion. But that problem was solved in the 1940s and the power supply has been tiny since the 1960s. So it's not a problem that needs solving. This is all on Wikipedia.
This is awesome, but as a kid back in the Pong era, I always wondered how the basic squares of pixels worked. In your travels writing this book, did you ever come across one that explained that in a way friendly to 12 year olds?

Here is a nitpick - I tried to find a way to send it to you privately, since it is trivial, but I couldn't find a link or your email anywhere. 1) Remove your photos - this feels like a serious site and your photos are so young that to me, and perhaps others, it detracts from the seriousness. And adds nothing. 2) Have a feedback link!

But more importantly - great idea.

I thought you all might like to know that we received the following email from Mayron (shared here with permission):

My www.freepianomethod.com website continues to thrive thanks to your generous mentioning of it in your Hacker News. I am receiving emails from all over the world from people who, until now, had no way to learn music or to play the piano. I am 80 years old, and my dream of sharing my piano method, for free, with the world is coming true. Thank you for all you have done!

I just received an email from a music studio in Mongolia; the owner of the studio told me he is now using my extensive free piano method as the only teaching literature in his studio. And several school districts have emailed me that they are conducting "at home" teaching via computer and my piano method for students who are unable to attend school due to Covid lockdowns. You have no idea how happy these emails make me! My piano method is my life's work, and now it will continue to live throughout the world long after I am gone!

I'm a long-time Eagles fan. The Eagles didn't have any failures as high profile as Super Bowl 51, but they did seriously contend for a long time without ever winning. At the time, it seemed like it was okay, because it meant at least most seasons meant something, but by the time Super Bowl 52 rolled around it almost felt like a mental illness that was magically cured by them winning.

I think the experience of being a fan of true sad-sack franchises doesn't have the same effect. (Probably Bills fans were like that after their fourth Super Bowl loss.) A successful season for the Browns or the Lions is 8-8, so they never reach the point where they think "This is our year." You got to think this was your year to the latest possible moment.

Crikey. I had to do a breesnam line drawing and hidden surface removal at Polytechnic back in the late 80s.
I agree, but also consider the choice of the worker. Commitment comes from motivation; the motivation can have a very large impact. A friend of mind went to work for Google, did 5 years as a Senior, got a load of cash, married his dream girl from high school back home and is now traveling the world with her. This is his idea of heaven. Personally I would never have committed like he did; but this is my choice. The problem comes when people are lied to and bullied into doing things that they don't want to with no positive outcome for them.

SSDs help, but nothing beats core count X clock speed when compiling.

Source code files are relatively small and modern OSes are very good at caching. I ran out of SSD on my build server a while ago and had to use a mechanical HDD. To my surprise, it didn’t impact build times as much as I thought it would.
> The question of whether a hashed password “permits access” to an online account is a complex question that has not been fully addressed from a legal standpoint.

Isn't this already answered by existing law? Wasn't Kevin Mitnick already charged and prosecuted with laws that would cover unauthorized access? Obviously if you have a hashed password and it's not your password and you're trying to access an account that isn't yours then I'm sure that qualifies as unauthorized access. What am I missing here?

It sounds like there is an argument being put forth to make hashed/salted passes PII for, I can only guess, the sole purpose of litigation against businesses for being hacked. Otherwise, does anyone think hackers care about PII?

I can understand prosecuting for security lapses that are related to a data breach. But within reason. You're getting close to charging the victim for the crime here.

I know it's fashionable to argue against storing any PII here on HN. But that's not reasonable for our society. Because, much like salting+hashing, when you're implementing security measure X, all the future hacker has to do is X+1 to breach the wall. This game will never end. If we go down this route, you know what's going to happen? Only Amazon and Google and Facebook can control your PII. With CCPA and GDPR you're already seeing how this plays out. The businesses with deep pockets win. They can afford to deal with the legal realities of doing business all day long. There is an entire cottage industry that popped up just to put those stupid cookie banners on websites now. Does anyone really want to live in a world where Google gets to dictate if your business can exist, and Amazon constantly stepping on your neck and demanding rent?

CCPA/GDPR are basically laws that punish the entire world for the sins of three or four monopolies.

I hate the co-opting of Product Owner as an actual organizational role. It makes no sense.

The idea within SCRUM is literal - PO is the owner of the product. His function is to prioritize features and user stories, bridging the gap between business and the development team to ensure value is being delivered. They don’t write stories. They don’t estimate tasks or manage the team at all. There is no need for tech-savvyness, and it’s not a full time job.

The “PO” role in tech has become a dysfunctional amalgamation of an engineering manager and a product manager, who can’t do either very well.

Can you edit your comment to add "To the same person". Some people replying seem to be having a very hard time with it.
> Certainly a fair critique, and one we can admit we saw coming.

So you intentionally made false statements about your product, which you knew ahead of time were false and if believed might conceivably make people more likely to buy it? That's normally called fraud.

The long winded justification doesn't matter. You're under no moral obligation to make your product open source. You are under a moral (and probably legal but ianal) not to do bait and switches.
As a long-time fan of high-level discourse and debate, I love this! Reminds me of https://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/.

Minor UI suggestion: When I opened it up to check it out, I clicked on a random dialogue (https://pairagraph.com/dialogue/b88167fd706941e8ac468283b51a...) to see what the deal was. I was very confused because it looked like just a short article - clicking around didn't reveal any kind of discussion anywhere. It wasn't for a few more minutes that I realized this was a multi-part debate where only one side had spoken. Something like "This dialogue will continue when Jason Calacanis responds" at the bottom of the article would have helped a lot. Heck, some kind of "notify me when he does" option would be super cool. :)
> Laws and rules are messy and can be exploited, not having any recourse if you get scammed is not necessarily a huge pro.

Yes, many times things like T+2 settlements on trades or taking three days for a transfer to fully clear are a feature, not a bug.

You start with Bitcoin being like cash, where once it's gone it's gone, unless a court can find the person and get it back. Then you don't want grandma to get scammed, so you build bank-like entities on top of the blockchain who re-create the three day window for transfers. In theory you could have different entities that have different settlement times as a tradeoff, but the modern system could do that now. The reason they don't is you need both parties to have the same rules or else your bank will get bogged down trying to figure out the rules of every other bank. Maybe you add an instant, non-revocable transfer like a SWIFT equivalent to go along with your 3-day ACH equivalent and, congrats, you've recreated the modern banking system.
> Sadly this conman is shutting down and rejects the WebSocket connection!

Sorry if this is obvious: why is the request proxied to a conman that is shutting down in the first place? Wouldn't it be more robust to work around this instead? Is it perhaps because there is no way to tell when the VM is shutting down?
> I kinda wonder if they shouldn't charge, say $100 to list an app on the App Store and $50-$100 per update too.

Many of these apps that game the App Store generate enough revenue that a $100 fee won't be a barrier to entry, but will certainly be a barrier to entry for students, hobbyists, and developers whose apps are pre-revenue.

Most apps don't make more than a few hundred to a few thousand dollars over their entire lifetimes, and such a fee will disincentivize ever pushing feature, stability or security updates to them.

> It's going to cut down on scam apps and pay for enforcement.

The App Store generates billions of dollars of revenue and pays for its own enforcement many times over, it's just that Apple can increase their App Store profits even more through poor enforcement and turning a blind eye to manipulation and scam apps.

What would really benefit users is real competition in the mobile app distribution market. It is obvious that Apple and Google are poor stewards of this space and that competition can improve experiences for consumers and developers.
You can't respect someone's freedom to murder without approving of said murder. You actually do not believe what you are saying or are being intentionally obtuse.

If you could prevent the unlawful murder of someone, you don't give a damn about their choice. You are making the choice for them by saying it is not allowed. Your implementation of that forced choice is currently handled by the law. In the future, it might be before they are even able to generate a murderous impulse.
Some functionality has been tied to RStudio's concept of a "project" (https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200526207-Usin...). I have had several documents authored by others which would not build on my system without some intervention due to this.

Isn't this actually a good situation, from the point of view of the tax collector? Corporations can afford to spend a lot of money figuring out tax loopholes and financing schemes so they can avoid paying taxes. But your average high-income individual can't. You might as well let the large corporations have lower taxes, pass on the extra revenue to shareholders and employees, and then tax the shareholders and employees.

Managed to score a lot of points once by having a columnar display collapse itself with smooth scroll to make space for additional info beneath it (define a scroll region over the centre part of the display, cursor position to the bottom and print more stuff - with line drawing chars forming a grid the effect was very effective).

Smooth scroll is actually quite easy in hardware, as it's just a case of changing the scan line offset by 1 each frame. A small handful of TTL chips will do it, later a small tweak to the CRT controller, and nowadays about a bazillion CPU cycles to do it in software.
