I agree that the potential for future abuse of a power to regulate misinformation is high. That does not necessarily mean that it outweighs the current value, but I think reasonable people can disagree about this and I think it’s a debate we should be having, given the events of 1/6.

I don’t want to get into an argument about which side is worse here or whether they’re equivalent. Suffice it to say, we have different perspectives and I don’t think discussing that is enlightening here.
I am far from an expert on the pros/cons between the two, but with Stan I can do systems of differential equations a lot easier. In some cases, it is infinitely easier. There are some really good examples for Stan on this, and the language structure just handles this easier: https://github.com/gregbritten/BayesianEcosystems_IAP/blob/m...

Julia also does better with differential equations in MCMC in general, in my experience compared to pymc3, but it can still be problematic. In some cases, it is most ideal to use the wrapper DiffEqBayes, but it has been somewhat abandoned in support for a neural differential equations package, DiffEqFlux. In some cases if you have a lot of data input, it simply is not possible to use DiffEqBayes. Stan allows for a lot of data input too alongside the system of differential equations, without any issue at all.

Not only that, Statistical Rethinking is based on Stan, first and foremost. Everything else (and there are a lot of renditions in other MCMC packages) is reprogrammed and reformatted to perform the same tasks as Stan does, and in a lot of cases, it just is not as nice.
It's worth noting that "India" did not exist at the time, which made it possible for the British to take over by using these divisions. Perhaps the very existence of India is the most important legacy of the British in the region.

The weak and divided will always be taken advantage of. That's a historical constant. From the Renaissance onward Europe (yes, it was heavily divided but somehow that seemed to have fostered competition and progress) was unstoppable and miles ahead of everyone else. I think that's key and it's really interesting to study the causes of that. What we've seen starting in the second half of the 19th century is the world trying to catch up.

Energies are better used to build a prosperous and well-governed country rather than dwelling on who took what from whom in the past (everyone took whatever they could from everyone else).

It's a bit of a sunk "skill" fallacy isn't it? The world is full of "yokels" that have (for reasons of convenience/necessity) already built the skill base to (re)build an ICE vehicle "for fun" by doing mechanic work on previous vehicles. That lots of people have learned such skills does nothing to diminish the complexity of them. If anything it probably further shows the imbalance (class divide) in society's value of the skills that rarely are degrees awarded for learning them and people think of highly skilled practitioners of such skills sometimes still as "yokels with a garage".

People have already researched that the total volume in-out of Deltec and it could not be more than a fraction of Tether's printing meaning:

1) They aren't holding the money as USD
2) They aren't holding the money in the Bahamas—then where?
3) They are printing money without a corresponding asset aka Ponzi Scheme.
...and a lot of other tooling assumes the order is relevant. Quite a lot of application logic in the real world, too. Which is why browsers preserve iteration order.

JSON is a serialization format. Its components inherently have a serial order. You can't change this any more than you can legislate the value of pi to be 3.
Absolutely. This guy has too many rules.

Many do produce only summaries. There's little value in it since your content will immediately repurposed by every other site since it's too short to be unique. You can't copyright facts after all.

Generative Art and Biology: Creating Life Through Computation
A partial solution would be soundproof houses, though that doesn't rescue one's backyard or park from loud neighbors. Every house or apartment should have at least a room or two that are impervious to outdoor noise.

At the same time, there are really good reasons to make noise sometimes, from music to machines, so better ways to do that without overly bothering others are needed too.
I was interested in this link just for its take on comments, bummed to see that skipped over.
I feel precisely the opposite. Replacing Dropbox is fine, but replacing like the majority of Google's services is waaaay more useful.
+1 to the sentiment. I will say I've occasionally used git-revert, but it's usually when I'm half-expecting to revert it but want to see how it behaves in prod.
Another reason I personally like branches is because it gives me confidence to make breaking changes without immediately having to worry about regressions.

To make a third factor a bit more explicit: there's a limit to the power you can apply to a wheel before it slips on the rail. Having more powered wheelsets means the total possible power is increased.

Commuter trains usually use multiple units, and metro trains always do -- they start and stop often, so the improved acceleration is a benefit.

Long distance trains can be multiple units, or a single locomotive: the time saving is less useful on a train that stops infrequently, so lower capital + maintenance costs win (plus passenger comfort, it's quieter inside).
Yep, to use AWS S3, you'll need a lock to ensure a single job at a time, or create buckets programmatically for each test.

I think every team needs to decide how much to follow the original advice, there is certainly a balance between simulating external service locally (with possible associated behavior changes) or using an external service.

If you do want to run everything locally, there are servers which offer S3 API, like "minio" and "fake_s3". Probably would be very nice for localhost operation. But if you need a complex thing like Transcoder this is not going to work.
I’m not so sure about that, nature is often loud AF. Agriculture, too.
This doesn't help your 6 year old Chromebook, but going forward Google is going to update Chrome independently of Chrome OS.

I understand your frustration though. I love ten inch laptops. That's about the perfect size for my use. I've got a 5.5 year old 10 inch Asus Flip Chromebook that still runs perfectly, but hasn't received updates since last Spring / Summer. There's really nothing else on the market, short of a iPad Pro 11 in a laptop-hinged case, that could replace it.
Show HN: Recollec – Faster and Easier Remote Employee Onboardings
Hey Everyone,

My name is Firat, I’m the co-founder of Recollec [https://recollec.com]. It’s a collaborative workspace for employee onboarding and upskilling.

More and more companies announcing that they are going all remote. Given the conditions, we realized how hard it is to make employee onboarding training. It usually happens in the endless zoom calls, back and forth... Yet, most of these calls can be archived for another onboarding. Also, there are thousands of free content out there which you can redirect your employees to learn by themselves.

So we build Recollec which is a collaborative workspace where every employee can share most useful content from various resources in one feed, and turn them into learning paths to create interactive onboarding experiences.

To be honest, I was hoping to find some folks who have a problem with the employee onboarding process at their work. I really could use some help and feedback right now.

I know your time is valuable, and I absolutely don’t want to waste it. So, maybe we could find a way to create a tailor made solution for your onboarding process at work, and save some time for you.

Here’s our demo: https://demo.recollec.com

You can reach me out at firat@recollec.com

Thanks everyone

What is the difference between a second preimage attack and a collision attack?
It's really more about signal-to-noise ratio I'd say, if there are often loud noises then your brain will have to attend to them, if there is constantly a fan noise, for example, then your brain will actually focus since there is no signal--but I've definitely found it's best to get rid of both in almost all domains.

Yeah, FWIW, I think you should start at the bottom[1] with bits, bytes, RAM, and a wee CPU (like Wirth's RISC for Project Oberon[2]) and then META-II [3] seems like the best way forward to conventional languages. (Or go with Forth and Joy and head right past Lambda Calculus and straight to Category Theory[4].)

On the other hand you could start with predicate logic and teach Prolog as a calculator for same, then develop all the low- and mid-level software (your emulator and compiler) using Prolog, then implement a Prolog interpreter in your language to close the loop.

I thought the same thing. I was 11, in 6th grade and remember it pretty clearly. We had the wood fireplace going non-stop, and yet we had it fairly easy in comparison with 'only' 2 weeks without power in the Ottawa area.

I remember walking over huge snowbanks on our front yard and it was all frozen solid. We could almost walk straight up onto the house roof.

Raw fruit isn't a problem, not even for humans. Products where "sugar" is replaced by fructose or other, simpler sugar variants is. Various sugar substitutes are added to e.g. canned fruit in "juice" which is mostly some kind of sugar. Which lets marketing say "less sugar" ...

And "high fructose corn syrup" is ... almost pure fructose. Which the human liver can only process a limited amount per day.

Anecdote: a young guy in Freiburg (Germany) got Covid recently and as a result lost his sense of taste afterwards. Now he isn't interested in fast food any more as everything tasty "bland" and can "easily" eat vegetables which he disliked before, even broccoli or Brussels sprouts. Which made him loose more than 50 pounds. Don't get this wrong, it's not an incentive to get Covid, but an example of the effects of abstaining from fast food and soft drinks.
Haha. Of course not. Common sense. We're using them for coaster holders, fake fruit centerpieces, and keeping odds/ends from scampering off.

Launch HN: GreaseBoss (YC W21) – Real-time system to manage industrial greasing
We are Steve, Tim and Pete, the cofounders of GreaseBoss (https://www.greaseboss.io). GreaseBoss is a hardware and software system that verifies that the greasing of industrial equipment is completed on time and according to specification.

Greasing, you say? Yup, you heard that right. Incorrect greasing is the number one cause for machinery failure on industrial sites. Industrial machinery failure costs the global economy $21B a year. Greasing is a big deal!

We know this is an unsexy part of the economy, so we won’t judge you if you have never heard of a zerk (grease point) before. Some of our favourite places you can find zerks include super yachts - 200 zerks, private planes - 80 zerks, breweries - 2000 zerks, theme parks - 1500 zerks. Other places with lots of zerks include factories, mines, utilities, farm equipment, trucks and military vehicles.

The idea for GreaseBoss came when Steve and Tim saw frequent machine breakdowns due to incorrect greasing while supporting mine sites in Outback Australia. This problem costs Australian mine sites hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity every year - disrupted production, spending on parts and labour for repairs. We built and tested our prototypes during the pandemic lockdowns on the back deck, over Zoom calls. We have now developed our MVP and have quit our jobs to chase GreaseBoss full time.

On the hardware side: we put RFID tags that fit like washers under each zerk. These are read by a head unit that is retrofittable to existing grease guns, which includes a custom RFID reader integrated into the nozzle. It also includes a flow meter and supporting electronics. Our device has 4G, Wifi and LoRa for comms, but also operates in an offline mode for customers in remote locations. Our hardware is rugged, dust proof, and water proof for some of the toughest operational environments (and operators..)

On the software side, we record each greasing in the cloud, right as the worker greases the zerk. Since most industry is still tracking this using paperwork, you can imagine how much more efficient this is. Our customers get back to production much faster.

We are building a HaaS (Hardware as a Service - is that a thing?) business model: we charge customers upfront for the hardware and then a software subscription fee. We are experimenting with per zerk, per machine and per site pricing. We haven’t found the sweet spot yet.

We have GreaseBoss installed at a large coal mine, a quarry and on excavators at the dump in Queensland, Australia. We also have a South African greasing contractor using our system.

We will be online for the rest of the day answering your questions (we are in AEST timezone). We are very excited to receive your ideas, experiences and feedback!
Thats a staggering sum of money. More research is needed into quantifying how the colonialists benefitted from their colonies; its not something you read in history books.
The author of the article didn't really publish any details about Ban Tran's life except she worked at this videogame company about 40 years ago and took part in the development of this game Wabbit. Doesn't seem intrusive to me. There's no real personal information, and I'd like to think this documentary maker would ask Ban Tran for permission to publish more details if he ever manages to contact her.

Let's not go for the pitch forks so readily, shall we?
If “loud pipes save(d) lives”, your insurance company would give a discount for straight pipes. Instead they give a discount if you’ve taken a training course and have ABS. It is bullshit spouted by man-children that just want to attract attention, dishonestly disguised as a safety issue.
I think this is just not a concern for the general population. There are solutions available if we wanted to address this issue.

There could be a restriction on the vehicle. Some European cities have zones with restricted access to vehicles based on their CO2 emissions. There are stickers that you have to put on your windshield to drive into those areas.

We could have some "noise emission" regulations that ban some vehicles from driving at certain times, like before 9am or after 7pm.

It would be similar to the CO2 emission regulations, there's no need to measure the emissions because you have a sticker that already say what your emission levels are.

Absolutely.

I became interested in compilers while in graduate school in the 70's and I spent many many hours studying Aho and Ulman's two volumes work on compilers that preceded their Dragon book [1]. The first volume was all about parsing, mostly LR (bottom-up) parsing and it's variations. These books resembled math books more than CS books. A few years before, Knuth had invented LR parsing [2] and I think that CS departments were still enthralled by the fascinating formal theory discovered around parsing. Aho and Ulman's Dragon Books on compiling are much more balanced.

I was fascinated by the formal methods that could be used to specify a language's grammar and then the automated generation of a parser from the grammar. I even went so far as to write a LR parser generator in Fortran IV back then.

Once I got into industry and was working in a group doing real-world compiler development I realized that there is a lot more than just lexical scanning and parsing going on in a compiler, it's tool chain, and runtime.

Teaching compilers backwards sounds like a really good approach for students learning compilers.

On a slightly broader but related topic, many programmers have never been exposed to assembly language, parameter passing mechanisms or how a program turns into a process. Anyone interested in system level programming in the real-world could benefit from Bryant and O'Hallaron's Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective [3]. This is not an easy book, but it is excellent and suitable for undergraduate CS students in their 3rd or 4th year.

Crafting regexes to avoid stack overflows
The "reasons" had nothing to do with simplicity of building one yourself, however: neither of the two biggest trends were "simple", from the industrialization of a complex process into an assembly line (notably Ford, but then competitors) to the logistics of setting up a fuel supply chain versus battery chemistry efforts of the time.

(Most diaries and reports at the time seemed to imply that the DIY car people of the early 1900s much preferred the simplicity of the electric car and had some miracle happened at the time in battery chemistry the world would have shifted a much different direction.)
Firefox now has sponsored links in the search bar, disabled with a dark pattern
It is not correct to compare Android updates to iOS updates.

On iOS, the bundled apps are locked to the iOS release. One of these is Safari - the only browser allowed on iOS. So to have a current browser it is critical to update the underlying OS too.

On Android, this is not the same. The apps are updated even if the OS is not; so you will have Chrome (or Firefox) in the current version, even if your vendor doesn't update the OS.

The only way you get that in Git is if you squash-and-rebase before merge, though. Which is fine if that's the process and end result that you want, but does (if you keep feature branches "messy") disconnect feature branches from their related merges into trunk from Git's point of view.
