What is this useful for? Genuine question.
I think the key is less that it has good multi-dimensional arrays built in, and more that Multiple dispatch makes Julia more composable than python. For an example of this, consider that BandedMatrices is a package that can be used in conjunction with any library that is expecting a Matrix like object, despite the fact that most of them weren't designed to do so.
I'm a college student, first year, so I definitely grew up in this age. Honestly, web filters do more harm than good in my experience.

Usually the filter starts with porn. Blocking pornhub and the other known sites is honestly fine, but there's only so much you can do. There's always google, bing, duckduckgo images (and ddg proxies those images).

So companies set out to make a stronger filter. People can post porn on Twitter, so let's block that. Reddit too. Instagram's bad for your child's development so we'll block that and FB as well as a plethora of other forum sites etc.

YouTube can have nudity too, so we need to lock it to restricted mode as well as google search.

You can see how this continues.

A web filter was installed at our house when I was younger (maybe 13, 14) and it took me a whopping 5 minutes to get past it, permanently, since I couldn't access imgur to see a picture on StackOverflow. I wish I was kidding.

At school, I believe people spent _more time_ off task on computers because they were constantly trying to find new things that got around the web filter. The school at one point had enough and installed a hyperstrict web filter that used some AI/ML bullshit to block sites. Not even 3 days later all teacher websites hosted on google sites (which was the standard district protocol) were being blocked. I couldn't continue my journey of teaching myself to code at school because so many of the tutorials I leaned on were on sites that also hosted tutorial content on how to make "the g word" (games) and were therefore blocked.

I personally believe these web filters are a net negative for kids and learning to self manage your access to inappropriate content is an important part of being a citizen of the internet. Kids will do what they want regardless, so you might as well make it into an educational experience instead of saying "no, this is forbidden," because that will only make them want it more.
5 years of work, and still bad compared to what iOS had 10 years ago. Impressive.
My own online addiction involves news. It sounds lame, and it is, but in terms of distraction and wasting time, it can be as bad as a porn addiction. I cope by locking down my computer with LeechBlock, and my phone with AdGuard. Both share a common blocklist hosted in a text file on Pastebin. That blocklist now has nearly three hundred websites in it, everything from NY Times to local new sites. Without exaggeration, this has saved me thousands of hours of wasted time over the years.

For whatever reason, porn holds no attraction for me, but I'm sure this system would work fine for that as well.

I have two preteen kids. We live in a very small house, and all of our computers are out in our common living space. We've long been in the habit of using our phones and tablets out in the open. Everyone can see what everyone is doing. Not because I'm paranoid, rather it's always been that way so it feels normal to all of us

Occasionally I'll take a peek at my kids' chats and browsers. As long as I own the devices and the kids are still young I feel entitled to a bit of oversight, but it really is very minimal.
Well, an interpretation of the rules that their lawyers said was at least justifiable enough to make a legal argument out of. It's hard to write rules when the readers are incentivized strongly to use any ambiguity as a weak spot to attack and use as a workaround rather than following intent.

Following intent isn't a good legal framework either, of course, better to make the people with legal training work hard to write them correctly once rather than making them complicated to interpret.
As a Democrat I want big government when it comes to marijuana. Why shouldn’t we have the FDA test cannabis products for impurities, set labeling standards, check that facilities that process it are safe, and that labor laws are abided?
China has the great firewall, the EU tried something similar under the "think of the children" excuse, which promptly failed.

Also a lot of people speaking out against China had to find out the hard way what some western companies will do when you speak out against a cash cow that will happily kick them out if its rules are enforced.
Qt for Android and Qt for iOS can be used under the LGPL[1]. The issue for iOS, though, is that Apple's App Store violates the terms of the LGPL. To comply with the LGPL, you must make available to iOS users versions of your app that can be linked against user-provided Qt libraries.

If you use the Qt commercial license for either, then you don't need to worry about your app conforming to the LGPL.

Launch HN: Poliglota (YC W21) – The Language School for Latam
Hey HN! We are José, Carlos & Nico from Poliglota (https://www.poliglota.org/) Poliglota is the online language school for Latam, where group classes are led by an instructor. Over 12,000 students have acquired a plan with us.
In Latam, English is the #1 thing a person can do to increase their income, and despite so many efforts people, companies and governments are making, only 2% of the total population in Latam is really able to speak English fluently (B1 level according to the CEFR). We discovered that apps and traditional learning models weren't working as people think, and the only way to achieve fluency without leaving your country is to have a great service, focused in social practice with others.

We lived this ourselves. Having been raised in Chile in different backgrounds and cities, we experienced ourselves how poorly build is the whole language industry in our country.

Later we realized that this is a reality of many countries, affecting millions of people worldwide.

So what we did is to hack the system: Instead of big classrooms where a teacher speaks, or lonely apps that gives you a some content without real improvement, we studied and implemented the perfect mixture between personalization and interaction:

We designed an online learning experience, by gathering people in small groups of 6 people through video conference, led by an instructor that we call "language coaches", with skill-based progress. You can learn everything you need to speak a new language (grammar, speaking, listening, writing) but everything is done through interaction. With powerful exercises that allow people to push forward their own learning possibilities.

To join, people just choose a plan (4, 6 or 12 months) and then join a group of people of their same level, and will stay with them for 8 sessions. The coach will provide a number of activities, games and exercises to push the learning experience, facilitating the development of specific language skills in each session.

Every skill being developed can be tracked in the student dashboard, so students and teacher can both get a better perception of their progress in real time.

More than 12,000 students have learnt English, French, Italian, German or Portuguese using Poliglota, and every month we conduct over 4,200 live classes. We are having a monthly revenue of $300K and going up. We are expecting to reach $5M in sales in 2021.

We'd love to hear the feedback from the HN community! (For now, our service is only available for Spanish-speaking users)
> But when a right enables suffering and wrongdoing on a large scale, it's time to rethink that right

Counter argument - alcohol? Right to buy and drink booze enables suffering and wrongdoing on a large scale, but banning it was a disaster. Maybe something like regulating marketing would be more effective, but an outright ban would not work.

At any rate, I don't deny porn can be addictive and have negative effects for many people, but I don't think it necessarily should be forced upon everyone by the government IMO. If you want to block pornography in your household, setup a pi hole and grab a blocklist from GitHub that has the top million porn domains.
Positive as well as negative externalities exist and are well studied, my opinion of the “usual” case is different than yours. Thanks for the reply.
I think the GDPR and other sites would have better results if they approached these in a similar manner as how the "nutrition warning labels" are done in Mexico ( https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/new-warning-labels-now-requ... ):

Make it so every page that contains a tracking element MUST permanently display a large-ish (say, 1% of the screen for each) seal/label indicating that it is tracking you (like ESRB labels). That way, website will be pushed to remove the tracking elements so that they can remove the offending banners.
We are using Ory Hydra now (but not any of the other components like Kratos, Oathkeeper, etc) and no real complaints so far. It is important to understand though the Hydra is just a component and not an out-of-the-box solution. You still have to implement your own user interface is you plan on doing OIDC login (and not just client_credentials for service authentication). Basically Hydra just takes a self-hosted login/registration/etc UI which you build yourself and wraps it in an OIDC provider. Which is great if you need to build an OIDC provider and want tight control over the user experience and user management (our use case) but don't want to implement all the fussy details of the OAuth2 protocol.
Thank you for the question.
Bitwarden is another great password manager, a big one with lots of features.
PassPilot is a small password manager with minimum features that a good password manager should have to be usable but again PassPilot’s unique feature is something that you won't get anywhere else i.e. the possibility to save your vault together with the entire application to a single HTML file (some 300KB or less) that you can take with you, save it wherever you want and never come back to the website.

This is something others don't want you to do, they want you to stay.

For me knowing that people appreciate my work and are using my application is already rewarding (like the other free app I made for my son https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.www24hday.... as I hate apps for kids full of ads, for me this is cruel), in the end it is yet another step before creating something much bigger (I hope), and a tiny contribution to making the world a safer place.
It's much shallower than that. You posted over-the-top language about a country, complete with Nazi references. Please don't. It makes internet threads really shitty.

If you don't think "So they're not putting people into ovens yet, but besides that" is flamebait I'm not sure what else to tell you.
Let's assume that the Gab user used a long and complicated password, that happened to hash-collide with "password". How do you know that Gab would have accepted "password" as a password? All we know is that it accepted the long and complicated one.

This is obviously moot, as a collision is exceedingly unlikely in this case, but still.
Why not just use Haskell? You don't get OTP/Beam, but the GHC runtime provides almost all the same functionality (plus a lot more), to the point where the Cloud Haskell library is basically a full clone of Erlang's actor functionality.

within marriage to someone of the opposite sex, a critical detail for Mormons and Catholics. Do almost anything you want in the bedroom as long as you're a heterosexual, married couple working to make babies.
oops. On Apple IOS, Firefox menu (lower right corner, I had it settled to block “fishy/spammy” image. Once undone, i was able to view the website.

Unfortunately, the section group box titled “Share” is one big-sized bunch of hieroglyphics, the rest got normal.

Dark/Light works ok after that disabling of that setting.

Me think you hosted your text fonts elsewhere?
Based on my experience in a couple courses a while back, the programming auto-graders were pretty good. Not perfect, your code could presumably be a total tire fire but so long as it produced the right answer it was OK--which is admittedly a good part of the battle.

But, yeah, every peer-reviewed assignment and use of discussion board was awful. This isn't a university where everyone is more or less on at least roughly the same footing with respect to language, educational level, and commitment. At least company certs have to maintain some quality floor if they're going to have some value for employers and therefore of interest to would-be employees. As soon as they become viewed as diploma mill trash they're done.

I'll argue that an device meant for phone calls (which is where bluetooth audio started out!) should aim for low latency by default. I also understand that the CPU/Latency/Memory trade offs made over a decade ago are not the same one's we'd make now.

Doesn't change the fact that the same device can have a 3x latency difference between platforms with the same codec.

Google went and developed VP9 as a royalty free codec in the AV space, they should do something similar for Bluetooth. Right now if I'm on a video call with someone and we both have BT headsets, it is very possible that there is a 500ms audio latency!
Auth0 was actually no alternative given its pricing. I actually saw a lot of people moving to Firebase from Auth0.
Right-o, if we keep up with this "IF YOU HAVE SEX, YOU'LL DIE AND BURN IN HELL" curriculum (if you can even call it that), we're only compounding these problems. It's time to get over ourselves and start preparing teens to have safe sex instead of saying "no don't do it" because that just means they'll have unsafe sex.
You can't ignore operating costs because of sunk capital costs. That's the sunk cost fallacy! You can sometimes ignore sunk costs if operating revenue is good. But if it's negative, that's the problem.
I, too, wrote a program that would assemble random teams of ships so you could have ladder style type combat amongst friends!

The driving factor is that some ships were virtually impossible to defeat in a skilled player's hand so we had to resort to random selection to be even remotely fair to everyone.
I think it’s consistent to believe that free expression allows for deplatforming, and then to have a belief about when deplatforming is necessary.

I don’t think it’s consistent to think that deplatforming is wrong, but only when the type of deplatforming that was most recently brought to your attention is a kind you don’t like.

I think “free expression” in this context is more like a tool for argumentation than a real principle that people hold, so people forget about it when convenient. (people who always or never support deplatforming get points for consistency)
Or maybe they can die, burn in hell and let universities record their lectures with a phone and a 50$ microphone, upload them to youtube, post pdfs of slides, lecture notes, etc and be done with it?

Coursera and other 'education' companies are mostly attempts to put themselves in-between government subsidized higher education and citizens who already fucking pay for higher education institutions through taxes.

This company is pure scum, let's be honest about what it is.
Yes, it was being used to target specific organizations prior to Microsoft's patches this week. Since then, attackers have basically used tools like Shodan to find unpatched servers, and mass-backdoored them -- regardless of who the victim organization is.
I've been thinking of relocating for a while, but also feel a sort of guilt about it. I must admit that the main reason for my doing it is that I feel increasingly disillusioned with the United States, where the paths of both the "left" and the "right" seem equally disappointing. There is a deep sense of social malaise that I feel, while here, and I cannot help but attribute it to that form of neoliberalism that is spreading across the world. And so I feel that my migration would be not so different than the spread of a pestilence of sorts, infecting what I hope will save me.

I am reminded of Society of the Spectacle, specifically thesis 165.

165 Capitalist production has unified space, breaking down the boundaries between one society
and the next. This unification is at the same time an extensive and intensive process of banalization.
Just as the accumulation of commodities mass-produced for the abstract space of the market
shattered all regional and legal barriers and all the Medieval corporative restrictions that maintained
the quality of craft production, it also undermined the autonomy and quality of places. This
homogenizing power is the heavy artillery that has battered down all the walls of China.
Bigger companies or at least ones with significant relationships with Microsoft often get NDA-covered security bulletins before they are publicly released to help mitigate this.
Oh it's sexually suggestive for sure. The point is just that Twitch can't outright say the reason for that. If she had small breasts, there would be no way to call it "bouncy."

BTW That's not her channel. The "bouncy" label might have been added by the uploader of the video
So the main thing and again I'm not really equipped to explain the relativity behind this but I do think I understand it somewhat.

The main thing in the situation you're describing is that it's one way. Make it two way, imagine getting a message saying "don't send that message" from someone who has already seen the message you're about to send.

You can imagine this and that's part of the problem understanding the issue I think. But if this combination of events was possible very many things that we know to be true about spacetime would have to not be true.
Ah, you're right. Doubled! :D

(The important thing to note for non-US-dwelling folks is that your average American simply never deals with plugs other than 120V except for rare circumstance, like appliance replacement or adding a car charging portal.)
I'm not sure this statement is correct.

"Dems want small government when it comes to marijuana legalization..."

This isn't really true. The legalization involves local and state regulation and taxes. Sure, the law is more lenient in that one can legally sell and buy the product, but it comes with substantially more regulation (you now need a department to do inspections audits etc).

"chafes at the idea that states could legalize marijuana unilaterally"

Technically they can't legalize it. They can do so at the state level, but it can still be illegal at the federal level. The thing is, the feds don't have the resources to enforce all the laws they make.

I do agree that most political parties and figures can be hypocritical.
This makes enforcement simple.

Setting emission thresholds means needing to get out there and perform spot checks in the field. It's specialised, expensive and in practise means many people just flouting the law and getting away with it. Pointless law.

Simply banning ICE strimmers and blowers means any enforcement officer can easily cite rule breakers, confiscate equipment, etc.

And per sibling, not the same as mandating one technology, at all.
The links discuss FTL communication implying communicating through time. I haven't taken the time to fully understand the arguments, so for the sake of this discussion I'm willing to simply assume that their conclusions are correct.

Now... Please explain to me how communicating through time will allow you to literally, physically, shake your own hand as was claimed.
You characterized the position of the other poster as "absolutely insane and completely detached from the rest of the world". Yet their view is at least supported by some scholars in academia and I'll also add is the majority viewpoint in my social circles and most of the academics and authors I read.

From my point of view, your point of view is the one that is the minority view. But I recognize it as valid point of view rather than characterizing you as "absolutely insane" and out of touch with "literally everyone except those few very special scholars".

Can you even prove that the view you espouse is the majority view? You've stated this multiple times as a reason for discounting the other poster's (and by extension my own) point of view, but you haven't made any effort to back up your assertion.
From personal experience, "nuclear = bad" is a thing.

That said, I agree that as things stand today, fusion research is no panacea to climate change. However, note that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was ratified in '92, and if we'd decided to go all-in on fusion back then, who knows where we'd be at today...
You keep using this when people complain about GDPR consent banners. We get it, cookies are bad and privacy needs to be protected.

It's just a really disingenuous and dismissive comparison. Nobody is complaining about flashlights.

GDPR may have been necessary, but the complete garbage heap of an experience the popups have turned the web into is worth lamenting.
Utah politics have a unique religious aspect to them. The majority of Utah residents belong to a religion which only 1.8% of the US population as a whole follows.

I'm always really impressed how he can make a video that sounds like clickbait, but usually go into pretty interesting (and accurate) scientific detail.
