I agree with you that the ends of the spectrum have been mis-identified. I sort-of agree with you that the spectrum should be "learn why v. just want to use it".

I'm would never consider myself a software developer, but I write code all day long and make a very good living doing it. I don't know b-trees. I don't know the algos. I DO know how to think outside the box, to make a creative solution that meets multiple needs, that often exceeds expectations in surprising ways, and blends together the best thinking from several different domains.

I have worked with what I would consider "real" developers, but while I would consider many friends, I don't like how they think, I don't like how they react to new information, I would hate to do their jobs.

So where am I on this spectrum? I don't know. I see absolutely zero need to study the things TFA talks about. I would rather study entirely different domains to bring that information in than learn the minutiae of a linked list I'm never going to implement from scratch anyway.

Just my two cents.
This, 100% over. That is how I have lived my life and plan on passing that on to the next generation as well.
Using Maxima in my day-to-day work has been a complete game changer. I use it via org-mode and use the `tex()` command to have it output TeXified results. These automatically get formatted into beautiful readable equations.

BBC article at the time of posting was indeed 'Floating ship'
I was wondering why the title is so needlessly divisive, and you found the reason.
Headline's fine, you need to update your historical timeline. I'm also sure you missed the part of the article that illustrates install screens with the company name "Borland" displayed.
I feel that we miss the point when we try to inspire people with other people - they are messy, complicated and often problematic. We cherry pick a portion of a person and represent it with the whole. This also tends to distort perception of value over time - choosing a single person to celebrate never tells the full story.

I really wish we had more monuments and tributes to ideas - they can be much more expressive and create a sense of community and shared values.

>So they had more than age, race, and gender,

Doesn't have to be that way. It could be age, age+1, age+2 ....
It's insanely complex - one of those problems that is easy to state and nearly impossible to solve (which means there's opportunity here).

Lol. I have no idea how the above comment got posted. I just noticed I had lost karma points and wondered why. I check my comment history and find this strange comment. I remember reading comments on this post and then doing something else. either I have gremlins in my phone or I must have unknowingly posted this reply. Not intentional and I can't edit or delete it as it was posted a while ago. Please ignore it :-)
Shameless plug, I have a pet project that rates assets by their risk of getting rug pulled: https://rugpullindex.com

I can see making inferences from dress, makeup, style, etc. But, this is surprising; “facial morphology”

This skims somewhat close to people who tried to infer criminality from facial and cranial characteristics... a century ago
The same is true on the other end of the limit. Infinity in floating point really just means "some value larger than can be represented".
Since the OP didn't include a link I'm assuming "Binance one-stop platform" is a vetted subset of all Binance Smart Chain platforms. In the case of this article I'm pretty sure Binance has not endorsed the "hacked" platform. I think the BSC is an open network and anyone can create their own smartcontracts in there. A popular new platform on BSC goosedefi has been forked hundreds of times, and most of them have failed within days with either developers or early users dumping the price. It's a big risk putting your money on any of these platforms, most of them are basically elaborate ponzi schemes promising big APR but leaves people bagholding a worthless token. A very few lucky platforms with good developers go on and become stable established defi platforms like sushiswap.
It doesn't help from a client perspective, but depending on your page delivery pipeline could be of potential help for some from a server perspective.
I question the dataset used for this and the basis. They used "self-reported political orientation, age, and gender" and "facial images (one per person) were obtained from their profiles on Facebook or a popular dating website". I first question the ethics of what sounds like a Facebook scrape. Second, I wonder how well they normalized across the terrible filters and frames and variations in pose. Finally, I question the basis in regards to the ability to gauge one's "openness to experience" let alone, say, "opinion on immigration policy" from micro-expressions in the face (or at least those which could be interpreted by a VGG based facial recognition algorithm).

Edit: One last rant about this palm-reading-esque pseudoscience: I hate that this was put out in the universe, and thus potentially giving the wrong person ideas.

I suspect lots of downstreams kernel developers do run smoke tests, automated tools, workloads and fuzzing.

It's just done individually, with each person hitting their own niche, and without a single all-powerful CI pipeline that's visible.

> My only complaints are that steam uses arbitrary numbers instead of human readable labels for emulated AppData folders.

Yeah, it's a chore. Sadly there really isn't a better option. The only option I can think of is to use the game's localizable name, but that gets pretty ugly very quickly (consider the ".HACK" series). Another option would be to re-use the game's data folder name, but that gets hairy with stuff like DLC and shared depots.

It's not really intended for users to be digging around in there, so... it is what it is.
Yes, until one of the 10 tasks flips one of the assumptions and changes a large scale decisioning system on its head...The processes work for certain type of projects. F-16 pilots have different concerns than 737 jets than a tractor trailer driver than a bicyclist, if moving from point A to point B is what matters..
Very interesting. I find myself in the other camp, where learning the underpinnings is by far the fastest way for me to use something. This is a good demonstration that there isn't a single best way to teach. Very cool.
I wonder if that 55% is from mturk or other survey sites that can be somewhat questionable in terms of quality with how much people are paying attention versus maximizing their hourly survey earnings.
That seems like a reasonable unit to use when measuring charge rate though…

Ask HN:
I was looking at the business model of Bumble, which involves the freemium model, ads, with a majority of the revenue coming from paid premium services within the app. Aside from that, the business is implemented through a mobile app or website a user can access. Suppose you take a quick look at Bumble. In that case, it seems that a majority of the focus to run the company would be engineering or technical based, as the entire business's existence falls on the ability of the mobile or web-based platforms to function correctly. It also seems that as Bumble adds more features, this would require more engineering, and the team of engineerings and designers would need to pair together to bring the features and updates to realization, which is inherently technical. It seemed logical that having an engineering-based CEO would make sense due to its nature requiring a lot of technical focus. If the company had technical issues or needed an engineering feature added, the more experienced engineer would guide the junior engineers or guide them on an efficient way to implement the app or website's new features. I am asking respectfully, and I know this question may be ignorant or naive, but can someone explain what Whitney Wolfe, the Bumble CEO, would actually do as CEO if she is not technical or engineering-based. I believe I know the answer, but hearing more input from other people would help me understand. I am curious and interested in this question, and it would be great if you could help me understand. Would she focus on hiring and delegate the technical roles, etc.?

A 72% score on this scale is equivalent to confidently knowing 44% of the answers, and coin-flipping the rest.

It's doing something that untrained humans are not capable of [edited to add: although humans were apparently tested by a different method, so this is not properly comparable], but is still a failing grade by usual methods of assessing human knowledge.
Another counter example: amazon. By far the worst userinterface of any webbshop, no filters, hardly any categories a search were very small changes in spelling/wording make huge changes in results. And still they are by far the biggest game in town.
It depends a lot on circumstances.

Most developers today building mobile apps, web front-ends/apps, or even working on the backend simply do not need foundational CS knowledge, though I suggest it would be better in most cases, and more often than not a 'positive signal' of general capabilities.

In my own experience, I started out working on embedded, designing software for fairly complex networking gear - and we were even making our own ASICS. Then moved on to a variety of other thing and I'm pretty sure I've literally never seen a sorting algorithm implemented, let along having done one myself. I've even tried to find excuses to do one, but always fell back on deference towards more established libs. My own CS background has been helpful, but more in the general sense, and I'm certain that someone with enough self discipline could have very well accomplished the same.

Specifically, none of the most applicable basic skills (i.e. language mastery, API familiarity), best practices, or even more architectural issue (i.e. tech selection), or planning approaches were derived from my CS background.

CS is a 'good indicator' and generally preferred but surprisingly not directly applicable in most scenarios. Obviously, in many cases it is.
"Racism" has come to mean something more like "unclean thoughts" or "original sin" where everyone has it even if you didn't do anything. Every media cycle we get mad and burn a witch who didn't try hard enough to atone for these unclean thoughts.

Sometimes it's just for the sake of fear, sometimes it's for convenience. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who initiated this Dr Seuss hate have a stockpile of his books.

you know, my great aunt found the book in her attic (it was a gift for her wedding at the time and then it got stowed away quickly when the allies took control).

It is an almost unreadable piece of shit. But, I have no doubt that some people will still read it. I doubt that it would turn 'normal people' into fascists, but 'normal people after falling into a youtube-video rabbit hole with right wing content', I guess suddenly it might be appealing.

Banning the symbols is effective in Germany, the same goes for the swastika. By banning this symbol, the society makes clear that the symbol and what it represents is not desired and not mainstream.
From there, it would seem that cues might come from how 'kempt' they appear, whether the head shot was from a party or for a resume, perhaps color and style of clothing, ... I.e., maybe not strictly the face.
They need to reframe that table of contents that really wants to hover in the middle of my mobile screen.

This happened yesterday morning also, DNS queries to .ws domains would result in NXDOMAIN. It also seemed intermittent - some clients would resolve names, some would not.

Because the commonalities that exist between people help them overcome their differences, understand each other better and reflect on themselves.
I did a Computer Science Major and work as a web developer now.

I'll be honest my education doesn't seem to have been very important for the actual work I do. It has been something on my resume that gets me past a basic level of hiring gatekeeping for every job that I've had as a dev, though.

In my experience I've worked with a lot of devs from different backgrounds. Other CompSci majors, Self-taught, Bootcamp grads, and Software Engineers (As in actually graduated from a Software Engineering program).

The approach to software that the Engineers take is equal parts impressive and annoying to me. They have formalized so many things that I know and understand intuitively, but cannot really converse with them because I don't know (and don't really care about) their formalized language.

It has really made me realize that even with my degree, I'm more or less self taught when it comes to writing software because as people rightly point out, CompSci is not about writing code.
To test this out, I fired up reddit.com in a private browsing session. The first four ads I saw were: a Windows 10 HP laptop, an AAA game from Square Enix, coronavirus messaging from the UK government, and a small indie game.

To not enable a feature that EAC explicitly provides and would allow people to use a product, and that requires almost no additional work (since it's not linux support in general, just EAC linux support), I consider to be lazy. Although, it's probably a mgmt decision, not a dev decision.

I understand linux support takes time and it usually isn't worth it. But this is just flipping a switch from what I've heard.
CS degrees, please. I have a proper degree; Computer Engineering.

All those wimpy compiler, algorithm, programming, etc courses got swapped out with electronics courses. I EAT feedback loops like they're spaghetti! My final design project wasn't some weak software project. No, I built the hardware THEN wrote the software for it.

I guess I am in my OWN class.

I've had this vision of a set of tiny robots that live in your stomach and perform some amount of pre-processing of the foods you eat.

They would do things like cut food into smaller pieces using small crab-like arms, digest and render inert sugars that are well beyond what your body needs and detect if you've eaten something that is rotten.

Why not varnish then?
Why is it that so many people classify each other as a bad person based on one attribute?

Do people spend all day searching for people with monumental impact to discredit them for having beliefs that don't stand the test of time?

It seems quite obvious that the crap we do now will be looked down upon in a century's time. So silly.

Simply the concept that our perceptions can be changed by us. We are not passive consumers of reality, but instead we are active participants.

The biggest example in my personal life was with finding the right medication. At first I was demoralized, but I challenged myself to take it as a long war campaign. That the lessons I learned along the way would one day help others.

Fast forward half a dozen years, half a dozen doctors, and I finally found the right balance of meds. The lessons I learned along the way have and will continue to help people.

As for where I learned about framing, I believe it was from some Pickup Artist material from the early 2000s. I would suggest you learn more from better sources like the book “Influence” by Robert Cialdini

Could be but not across the board true. My parents are deeply liberal to the point of the Constitution be damned so long as their views are enacted in some way. I am just the opposite - a constitution conservative. I am aware of several friends families that are the same or opposite.

I think the key to you last comment is how much intellectual control someone has over their emotional response. I like to think I am pretty good with that at this present time. That was not always the case and may not always be the case.
Proton is in the works to support anti-cheat. Vital kernel support was recently merged. I don't know the details, only that it is a goal of proton and hopefully will work. Many games use the same anti-cheat so if everyone cooperates it could work out.

CSS is not a programming language. If it was it wouldn't be called Cascading Style Sheets.

A programming lets you specify initial state, final state, and the commands in the programming language required to go from initial state to final state.

It is a system that enables something akin dividing by zero all over the place as though there is nothing wrong inherently wrong with dividing by zero.

The impedance mismatch between how you describe what you want to see and how to express it in the language is so huge it is insane.

It is part of the ongoing fraud of pretending that tying Javascript to a document layout languages is a sound way to script the presentation of data.

If that was truly the case IBM and Xerox would have invented something close to that combo in the 60s and 70s.

So long as Google and Microsoft earn money from their app stores they are never going to introduce a pragmatic for displaying information in the browser.

It is over 10 years now since together with Apple they deprecated Flash and Silverlight, yet 10 years later with vastly improved hardware they still can't come up with a meaningful system than the same lame HTML5/CSS/Javascript.

The reason is that it would take more than a few more employees to provide optimized support across all GPUs. If nothing else, it's a significant testing burden.
Show HN: Low-code platform to build user flows with your current API or IdP
Hey HN!

This is Jaime, one of the cofounders of Arengu (https://www.arengu.com/).

When you start building an application, there are always a ton of non-core features to be built: sign-up flows, login flows, subscription flows, update profile flows, automating tasks after the sign-up, etc. And then, when you start scaling your application, new requirements come up.

Arengu is what we like to call the brain behind those user flows. We allow developers to build and orchestrate all those boilerplate blocks with pre-built UX components that work with any stack, custom logic and integrations following the best UX and security practices and if you need it, you can always extend our capabilities adding some custom coding.

We don’t handle identity nor user management, instead we offer the tools to visually build the components, its validations, logic and the two-way connection with your own API or extending your identity provider capabilities (eg. Okta, Auth0, Firebase, etc).

Use case are endless: a sign-up with a Stripe subscription, sign-up with OTP email verification flows, blocking fraud or spam sign-ups based on IP scoring, custom MFA flows, custom login flows (eg. ask users new data on the next login), etc. We want to wrap up most common use cases on 1-click templates and allow you to adapt them to your needs and connect them to your current stack.

User onboarding and authentication tends to be a complex process with many integrations associated, and with Arengu we believe we can help with that.

If in the past you’ve had to deal with these situations, I invite you to try Arengu. We’d love to get some feedback and if you have any questions, happy to try to reply :)

> These self-selected, naturalistic images combine many potential cues to political orientation, ranging from facial expression and self-presentation to facial morphology.

I was going to ask how they controlled for the presence of compound bows & deer, trucks, and tank tops in the photos, but this implies they did not. Another one would be lighting palette, since that's going to be biased to regions as well.
There is something to be said for it, as I'd say I have a %72 chance of guessing someones political orientation by looking at them as well, which someone once explained to me as being the effect of testosterone levels on the region around their eyes, but that sounded like folksy bro science.
I'm not sure where GP is going with this, but for example the Habsburger lower lip [1] is a easily identifiable feature from inbreeding in Western European nobles. If you can identify it it gives you a good clue about the socioeconomic class of the person, which gives you a good clue about their political orientation.

I'm sure many more subtle examples also exist.

I've seen illusion like this off Herzelia, Israel coast couple of years ago. I think I even made couple of pictures.
Something just occurred to me. Is this actually an optical illusion? My idea of an optical illusion is one where your brain perceives something that is different from reality. Indeed, when I look it up I see examples of that (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion) But in this case your brain isn't doing anything wrong, the light reaching your eyes is what's "wrong" and your brain is correctly interpreting what your eyes see (as shown by the photograph).
