Loopring (https://exchange.loopring.io) is already here, also based on zk-rollups.
To make sure we're on the same page, the grandparent is describing this as a positive part of living in Ukraine.
Non-negligible chance? Sure. But the title says “Apple is removing...”
Why is it legal to do this? I don’t pay taxes so a bunch of morons can waste it on a consulting company trick
Right. I think most people here don’t understand there’s more troops stationed and In full force in DC than in Baghdad, Iraq.

All this for the “largest” insurrection with smiling grandmas taking pictures as if in a tour.

Let’s stop the fake political show.
Looped algorithms generally outperform recursive algorithms.
It would be nice if it were more common for standard library functions to include algorithmic complexity as part of the standard documentation.

Absent that, of course we can potentially read the source code and find out, but I think for the most part we tend to operate based on an informed assumption about what we imagine the algorithmic complexity of a given operation would be. Inevitably, sometimes the assumption is incorrect.

There's no way to develop software without making assumptions, some of which inevitably turn out to be incorrect, so I don't think there is any great shame in having that happen, in itself. But better docs could help us make better assumptions with less effort, at least.
I think it's actually correct in accounting terms, but their COGS will be high.
This is less than two months after our Capitol was stormed by people with bombs and zip cuffs.
The suit is even more interesting:

> Without any meaningful investigation, or any involvement whatsoever by the school's Review Board, SFHS's president, Jason Curtis, publicly confirmed to reporters that the Photograph depicted the boys in "blackface", and promised that they would face "serious consequences"

> Directly below the Photograph of Plantiffs, Ms. Labana included text that read ..."kids participating in black face and thinking that this is all a joke"

> During the protest march, Ms Labana made public demands for the boys' explusions from SFHS

https://www.mv-voice.com/news/reports/1614639661.pdf

I think Ms Labana is in for a rude awakening if this goes to trial. Ms Labana wasn't a student, she was a parent of a student. A grown ass adult. Reading through the rest of the suit, she behaves like a petulant fascist. Can't wait to see how her employer reacts - a taste of her own medicine.
While the revolving door is always a potential issue, and I'm sure it happens, I don't think that's a key problem for the DoD. When government officials leave office they're required to not do work, for a period of time, on things they controlled, and the penalties can be steep. That reduces incentives for the worst of abuses. Also: a US government employee who retires after 20+ years has a guaranteed pension; it's nice to get more on top, but not by risking it.

No, I think the pressure primarily comes from the DoD procurement process itself. First, you have to develop the requirements. The Air Force wants a plane, the Navy wants a plane, the Army wants a plane. If you say "yes" to one & "no" the others you get a political battle. A bright person says, "I know, we'll make a plane for everyone, and the volume purchase will make it cheaper!" "Great!" everyone says. They each bring in their laundry lists of what they want the plane to do... if you say "no", then they probably won't fund it, so you have this HUGE list of requirements. Now the plane (or whatever) has to do everything.

Then it goes out for bid. Only the lowest bid will win, so contractors will do their best to make it a low price for a massive number of requirements. They're under great pressure to underbid the real costs, and when you do new things it's usually more expensive than you imagine. Yet those costs will still look eye-wateringly big (because it's trying to do everything). Contractors will then say "don't require that 'bunch of useless technical data and those technical data rights... it'll be cheaper!". In addition, every time you learn something, you'll need to make a change, and that will result in a change request with a remarkably high price tag. That's partly because the contractors are motivated by profit, but to be fair, they were often pressured into unrealistically low starting costs by the process.

Many of the DoD's problems aren't from "evil government officials" or "evil contractors". Many really are trying to do good things. Sometimes the problem is that the DoD procurement process has some perverse incentives that sometimes results in very strange outcomes.
Twin sisters worth millions thanks to female gamers
Sure, agreed on all points. I still think the title is misleading.
If I were a reporter, I'd have 3 questions for DoD:

Aren't they spending tens of MIC billions on new bombers soon anyhow?

Why aren't they cannibalizing other airframes and just making do?

Why didn't they have a spares support contract for the entire lifecycle of the airframe?
You can argue that piracy is wrong if you please but you can't argue its theft in the same way you can't argue murder is rape its a category error not a judgement on its moral acceptability.

"Stealing" eyeballs is another ethical misjudgment as you have no moral right to someone else's attention even wherein you have an ethical/legal argument.

They haven't stolen eyeballs they have violated your legal right to authorize copies according to copyright law. This isn't just a semantic argument. Misidentifying the source of the ethical issue leads one to nonsensical conclusions.
There's a lot of value in meeting in person. For one thing, it demonstrates that you literally have skin in the game, which in matters of governance is very important, especially at the national level. There's a reason that peace treaties are signed in person after all.
it literally made me enraged to see someone twist feminist ideas to make an asinine point defending the status quo. I'm not sure what the answer to your question is, but I think it's something like - the person may only be left-leaning insofar as it affects their own rights, being a person from marginalized groups, but is not left-leaning to the point of opposing other forms of exploitation even when they are part of their own paycheck
Link seems broken, here's another:

I agree, there are certainly heaps of odious people who have created great things in technology. And I don't even mind using these things if the creator is not making money off of them. (There's an open source project whose author says, on the project's webpage, that he dislikes the idea of anyone who doesn't embrace white nationalism using the software. I don't think he was joking.)

I suppose I'm reading JacobSuperslav's comment differently than you. You're reading them as saying (in response to a comment listing reasons not to trust Brave) "here are some additional reasons not to trust Brave", which you're saying doesn't follow. I agree that it doesn't follow, but I'm reading their comment as saying "Brave's untrustworthiness is one reason not to use it, but another reason why you might not want to use it is..."
This is actually normal, and expected. The issue with these specific Starship tests is that the flight plan calls for 1) a height of ~10 km, 2) not going supersonic. The second one is quite critical, because supersonic flight introduces much greater stresses on the craft.

Given these two limitations, Starship currently carries very little fuel. Think of it like a mostly empty soda can with a few sips sloshing about the bottom. Adding 3 Raptor engines to such a tank makes them way too powerful to run at 100% thrust the whole time.

On the launchpad, all 3 Raptors start off at full thrust until well clear of the pad. At that point, one engine at a time starts throttling down gradually, so as not to go supersonic or exceed the 10 km flight plan. A throttled engine does not burn as cleanly or efficiently, which is what results in the orange exhaust plume. Same as your campfire, blue flame is hotter than orange/red flame, and the bluer exhaust engine is therefore burning hotter and providing more thrust.

As Starship gets closer to the 10 km peak, it shuts off one engine at a time, and finally throttles the final Raptor down as low as it can go. Note that Raptor engines have a minimum throttle that is ~20% of max thrust, below which the only option is to shut down.

Same argument was said to BEVs, then renewables solved problem.
I remember that. Shitty builders, developers, and inspectors.

Are these both then "their dogs ate their homework" defenses?
There's a lot of talk about decentralization these days.
Decentralize this, and that, and a lot of it is silly and excessive. Example: centralizing twitter seems so far to be good for twitter (they're doing very well, much better than mastodon).

I however believe that decentralizing the government, even a little, would have tons of positive impact. The govermnent is the apex example of "too much centralization and bureaucrazy kills any kind of efficiency".

I hope this happens in the near future.
It might be satire, but it hits way to close to the mark. I've worked on so many simple applications with layers and layers of cruft that really could be simplified to postgres, cron and a couple of cgi scripts.
There were also people in fully tactical gear with bombs and zip cuffs. A police officer died due to these protestors actions. Stop minimizing it.
OK, but the Flutter gallery has zero selectable text, as far as I can see. Seems like a great case of where developer decided "doesn't need selection, let's let the user drag to scroll with their mouse instead".
They need a crippled browser that can't be used to bypass their revenue stream. Controlling the most popular browser gives them an important moat.
does that hold for languages/compilers with tail call optimisation?
This is a cool idea..I'm sure it's been done before automatically in code, but I'd love to see this in my editor. It sounds similar to the bundle-size extension that you can use that will annotate how big a package that you're importing is in node.
It is a good opportunity to mention that you should not use strtod/strtol either if you can help it, since they are impacted by locale. Exactly what to use instead is a bit of a tough nut to crack; you could extract musl’s floatscan code, or implement the Clinger algorithm yourself. Or, of course, use programming languages that have a more reasonable option in the standard library...
oppression is real and social justice advocation is so important. that's why it's that much more infuriating when I see people like this who only are interested in social justice when it serves their own personal interests and/or vanity. they do so much harm to the image of the struggle for justice

This just makes me think that null-terminated strings are the bad gift that keeps on giving. If we were to design an OS, language, or standard library in 2021 (or even 1999) we probably wouldn't use them, but we're stuck with this relic of a former era.
The fact is that even considering all those points, Flutter+Dart is still much easier to learn than Swift+iOS and Kotlin+Android (even separately). And I'm not even considering Desktop.
There's Ping Identity [1] and Firebase Auth [2], though Firebase is probably not as feature rich as Auth0

Alright. It's getting real! What kind of math should I study to be able to play in that space?
I was referring to this bit in the top level comment:

> In my understanding what Cliqz did, at least in the beginning, was to buy clickstream data and then build an index on top of that

I don't know if that's what cliqz actually did, but if they did do that it sounds very similar to what bing did.
Lisp Is Not Functional (2008)
Which of those smiling grandmas planted the pipe bombs and ammunition caches? Brought along zip-ties to better facilitate hostage taking? Tore the panic buttons out of Congressional offices?
Woah, cool to see Greggman on Hacker News. Between Polm and Greggman the Tokyo Indie game scene punches above its weight eh.

A HTML driven imgui sounds cool, I hope Gregg continues building it out.

Of course the irony is in running immediate mode logic through a retained mode UI model. In theory this should be a horrible x horrible idea. Yet I suspect, the results bare out, that web renderers manage.
An excuse to eventually brick your device.
Companies are too efficient for that, even if dev salaries were cheaper they would still want to fund just one version and pocket the difference, and eventually market competition will make that the norm.
Oh, I misunderstood what you meant by mothballed. Still, that is honestly a good example of why AWS is so much more reliable than GCP. AWS will keep the service running as-is even if they don't make any changes to it. GCP would just deprecate it instead and kill it off completely. Maybe that hasn't affected you yet, but the available evidence says that it has burnt plenty of people.

We can't even be sure whether GCP itself will be around in 3 years:

> In early 2018, top executives at Alphabet debated whether the company should leave the public cloud business, but eventually set a goal of becoming a top-two player by 2023, according to a report from The Information on Tuesday. If the company fails to achieve this goal, some staffers reportedly believe that Alphabet could withdraw from the market completely. [1]

That's disputed and is not hard data, but there's not any positive reason to believe that GCP will exist after 2023 either.

Agreed - however I think the meeting in person should be among the representatives and their constituents, not each other.

Ideally AOC, for example, would be in a convenient location in her district and meet with members of her district who want to watch her represent them. The other advantage of this is when there's a lull (due to the boring procedural bits of governance) they might ask her to bring something up that's relevant to the current discourse.
personally, I think I wouldn't even bother to check the algorithmic complexity of every external function I call. I'd just use the logical choice (like sscanf) and only consider optimising if things started to slow down and profiling the application highlighted it as a bottleneck.
Thank you for your work & reply. I already submitted some and a few were merged and one is in review.

The other patches are not submitted yet because they require a little change for Epoxy, which is not merged yet, or I'm being lazy. Maybe I should open a MR as a RFC.
No police officer died. You’re being brain washed by going to the extremes.

You’re proving my point. There is ZERO reason to station thousands of soldiers and barb wire fence around the “people’s building” all at the behest of politics.
At least 35 Capitol police are being investigated for acting in sympathy with the insurrectionists so that might not be the best idea.
...which makes it a classic exercise for teaching memoization!
So the government does its thing via WIC and distorts the market. The price goes up as the price-sensitive portion of the market disappears. Why wouldn't crime take advantage of this?

Alternative restated question: where are the competitors working to lower the price in a functioning economic dynamic? Enjoying the profits of a distorted market.
Twitter doesn't let me see that thread. Says something about "this account owner has limited who can see their tweets".
Is Figure 8 an unconditional empirical CDF of inter-arrival times? Apart from the heavy right tail (which covers ~0.01% of the data), it looks pretty exponential to me. If I'm understanding what I'm seeing, it sounds like like the homogeneous Poisson assumption was pretty solid. Especially considering its purpose. Maybe it would have been more accurate to say "there's a mixture of two Poissons: the bulk and the network disruption". But I think that possibility would occur to most people reading the paper at the time.

Also, Figure 7 seems to show very little change in mean block inter-arrival time.

In fairness the authors say, "Performing the Lilliefors test on the LR data rejects the null hypothesis that block mining intervals are exponentially distributed, at a significance level of α= 0.05." But this isn't physics. We want to know how useful the approximation is, and whether there is a similarly tractable one with better predictive power.
Correction: A police officer committed suicide. Pipe bombs were planted the night before. Stop maximising it.
I'm using a service (Hasura) to build out a backend and all their docs recommend Auth0 as a JWT/authentication service but the pricing is outrageous. I spent 3 days and built a version myself which is just fine and can be changed whenever / however we want.

Google / Facebook / Apple authentication are not hard to implement at all, maybe I'm missing the actual value they add...
Αρης vs. Ολυμπιακος, οριακή η πρόκριση στο Βικελίδης
Άρης και Ολυμπιακός θα βρεθούν και πάλι αντιμέτωπη αυτή την φορά στον επαναληπτικό της προημιτελική φάσης του κυπέλλου Ελλάδος. Οι δύο αντίπαλοι είναι στις δύο πρώτες θέσεις και το 2-1 του πρώτου ματς, θα οδηγεί στην πρόβλεψη ότι θα γίνει μία πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα σύγκρουση, με την πρόκριση να κρίνεται οριακά. Ας τα δούμε πιο αναλυτικά, μαζί με τα Αρης – Ολυμπιακος προγνωστικα κυπελλου.
I very highly doubt the lean is expected. The fact is that 2-3 of the landing legs deployed but did not lock into their extended position, which resulted in the lean this time. This also caused structural damage to the engines and tanks, causing the rupture and kaboom.
There was a quote in a newspaper I unfortunately forget the location of about four years ago about a massive break through in encryption by the NSA post Snowden. Enough subtle hints about it. My working assumption had been it was RSA related. I noticed for example some interesting organisations changed their guidelines about its usage in past three years or so.
1/3rd I can agree with, but 1/10th?? That has to be a senior L7/L8 salary
I'd actually say the opposite.

Any small start-up is not likely to have the expertise to implement auth in a 100% spec compliant, HIPAA certified, SSO compatible manner.

It's not a de-facto BAD-THING to outsource skills outside of the niche of a business, and is likely more secure and thought-out than what would be created otherwise.
My problem with Flutter is that it requires the developers to track and maintain parity with native widgets on both platforms; this is a massive undertaking and one that is prone to bugs and subtle mistakes. This is especially a problem for something backed by Google. This downside is not a problem for e.g. React Native which utilizes the platform's native widgets.
So this is different from when he figured it out in 2005?
It looked like it bounced a bit on the landing.
As long as it's about outrage, I doubt it.

«Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.»

Or, as somebody said, it's always a temptation to use the devil's enviable energy to pull your cart; the problem is that he knows only one destination.
The best kind of landing!
Any biology forum that was 50/50 anti-evolution; or a physics forum that often argued newton is good enough and the rest we can control; etc etc, would be some kind of fringe, excluded place.

Deny supply and demand? Always popular. We're 100 years past the marginal revolution, yet, both the practictioners of the discipline and outsiders (marxist sociologists) think this can be controlled.
One proposal here is to eliminate the ordinary income tax, and keep only the AMT, which is much simpler. The political advantage is that nobody gets a tax increase, and nobody's taxes get harder. And the revenue loss is surprisingly small - estimated at $63 billion annually in 2010 (though perhaps higher now due to the lower SALT limits).

I am in camp-AMT-only and it seems like both parties could get on board.
> our Capitol was stormed by people with bombs

Source please.
I’m going to port this to Python for use as a progress bar ala tqdm.
I suspect those that read my comment (and perhaps downvoted) think I'm just arguing "both sides -ism" or whatever that's called. I'm not. I do agree with one of the sides more than the other, and believe there is more factual reporting, and a lot less "this isn't true but we need it to be to support our agenda so ** it, report it!" Or "let's just write persuasive essays with lots of conjecture, as that will be enough to convince a lot of people." As others have said, both sides do slant reporting, writing headlines and focusing on the details that better support what they believe, but I think this is well beyond that.

Anyway, my comment was not picking sides, or denying the report. It was mostly speaking to the community, to remind them why this sort of post tends to just go sideways and likely doesn't accomplish what we would hope it to. (And the shared article was flagged about 30 seconds after I posted my comment, so... no surprise there!)
Slack is, imo, a way more complicated, way more valuable service targeted at a larger market than Auth0.
As engineers, we should be capable of critical thinking beyond this. Otherwise you will end up with barely working enterprise software like the sibling comment mentioned.

If this is how you do your work, you are asking for a computer to replace you! We should aspire to be better than this. It’s crazy to me that people take massive salaries and expect other people to spoon feed their tasks to them.
It doesn't disturb me unless he/she is a core dev of node.js. I mean, anyone can say anything they want. Not to mention it's likely a joke.

I'd buy it today if it had a 14'' or 15'' screen.

I love the portability, but I just can't work on 13'' anymore.
I love how in the reading of this bill text they exclude quite literally gaming consoles and other "special purpose digital application distribution platforms" which are just as, if not more anti-competitive than Apple or Google could ever be.
