Curious on on how ee license works - will it not stop somebody to take that source and run it for free ? or do parallel implementation on top of your free offerings.
The clotting with AZ is very different and more serious than what the thrombosis associated with the pill - about half of those who get it die even with best medical care. It predominanctly affects folks who would have a miniscule risk of death by Covid19, so this absolutely needs to be investigated.

> An iterative fibonacci solution runs in linear time.

Absolutely nobody is under the impression that the naive parallel implementation of fib is actually useful code or the most efficient way to do it. You're missing the point if you're suggesting a different way to do it in the first place.

It's just something to use as a running example... like on the original article this whole thread is about.
In centralized coordination protocols, the follower or worker nodes do not have autonomy. That said, the master/boss/leader nodes also do not have autonomy (in the sense that they are all bound to the protocol: none of the nodes can choose to quit and get ice cream, for example). However, in human social terms, it can seem like the central coordination node has more autonomy relative to the worker nodes, but that's an illusion.

In protocols, work provider --(activates)--> work performer. None of nodes have autonomy, so any pair of terms that overlaps with (provider, performer) are equivalent.
It's amazing how clean and small the simple C++ implementation is. It's smaller than Go and Rust. With C++20 features it can be even terser.

Dungeons and directories is great! I've only played the beginning so far[Edit I've beat the game now and joined the secret club!], but I really laughed at the "You walk through the southern door, and straight into the chasm you saw earlier..." Picture : "you walking straight into the chasm with a smile on your face".

I ran into the same problems you did, any variable leads to an exponentially large state. Other than, "scoping" as you put (or branch merging as I put it), the most space-efficient way I found to keep state was to ask the player to remember a passcode. So the player can keep track of the state, but I don't have to (ie. exponential space savings!). Even when entering the password, you can keep the space small (n*2 rather than 2^n) see [0]. Players used to retro PC games will remember entering passwords found in their instruction manual, so it's an added nostalgic appeal.

Let me know when your error dialogs game is done. If you want to collaborate on some games, hit me up, I too love games where they shouldn't be.

TikTok for Android 1-Click RCE
Yes, yes. I meant that people do not intuitively understand or follow these rules, as asserted by the post I was replying to. People routinely fail to follow them, and lots of people I have direct contact with don't even understand why being ambiguous when giving directions for a job is a bad thing.

I have a perfect example of this: one person I know, when he says "next Monday" only truly means the next immediate Monday when it's more than 3-4 days away and never when next Monday is tomorrow. In all other cases he'll say "this Monday" when he means the next one, and "the 'other' Monday" when he means the one after the next one. It seems to be a very imprecise function of the distance to the actual next Monday.

Now, some considerations: some people actually talk like this in informal contexts, though not everyone and there's no way of always knowing the context. Also, I'm translating from Spanish; presumably the English vernacular has similar imprecise conventions.

What drives me crazy is that this imprecise language is used when arranging a date or scheduling some job. "Next Monday I have a doctor's appointment", or "This task will be finished next Monday". This person is always puzzled when I ask him to clarify what he means by "next Monday" -- is it the actual next Monday or the other Monday?

Of course many times you can guess by context, especially if you're familiar with this convention, but it's not always possible and it catches people unfamiliar with the convention off-guard.

And this is just an example. It happens all the time, with lots of people, with lots of ambiguities that have real impact. People absolutely do NOT follow these maxims of conversation.

Another example: I could have explained all of this way more concisely. I chose to rant instead ;)

I generally use autosquash when a code review of a PR turns up things I missed, which should have been part of a particular commit on that PR's branch. However, I don't want to amend the previous commit right away if I'd like another review for the new changes. Thus, I do a `git commit --fixup <HEAD|hash>` and push it. I can then ask the review to only look at the new commit, I won't break their local checkouts of the branch, and only when everything's been approved I run `git rebase --autosquash` and then merge it in.

(Before I started using autosquash for this, I'd do the same, except I had to figure out at the time of merging onto which commit every new commit had to be fixed up, rather than at the time of writing it.)
This assumes that climate change/ CO2 is a significant impact on the gorilla populations.

Whether or not you agree with financial regulation, I think we can all agree that criminals providing black-market financial services to otherwise lawful citizens, is a terrible outcome for everybody. In Bitcoin it’s especially terrible because it mixes ordinary unwitting citizens in with some objectively nasty people that they wouldn’t otherwise want a financial relationship with, whereas otherwise the criminal utxos would be isolated into increasingly narrow silos with every transaction. So the natural order of things is anti-crime, if regulation keeps up with demand. Regulators should be flexible enough to keep criminals out of business by legitimate substitution, and just strong enough so that law enforcement is the unquestionable hero of physical safety and the golden rule.
Clasp – Bringing Common Lisp and C++ Together
The problem is this isn't even about privacy. Courts have always held that you have no right to privacy as soon as you step outside and that is never going to change. News broadcasts and most film making would become impossible if they needed the consent of all people who might incidentally make their way into a frame by walking in front of a camera. And if you go into someone else's business, there's usually a sign right out front telling you that by stepping inside you consent to them monitoring and recording everything you do. The only reason this never used to scare people is there was no practical and scalable way to collate all of these sources of public data into a usable profile that could identify and locate an arbitrary person.

Well, now there is.

How do you fight it? I don't think you can. The obvious answer is don't commit crimes and nobody is going to care enough to try and find you. Unfortunately, law enforcement has never proven particularly trustworthy about only going after actual criminals, so that answer doesn't generalize, but the vast majority of people are very unlikely to ever find themselves the victim of political persecution. What do we do for those who are?

Right to encryption and constitutional amendments for privacy are great and all, but that still means absolutely nothing for a case like this. This technology relied entirely on public data. You're never going to have the right to not be photographed when you go out in public. The paparazzi literally killed a member of the royal family doing this and suffered no consequences for it.

Harambe is definitely a factor. But it's probably primarily related to the somewhat recent, self-deprecating meme of calling themselves "monkes"/apes (implying some acknowledgement that they are less "sophisticated" investors than traditional retail or institutional). I'm kind of glad to see this new meme because the older self-deprecating memes were pretty insensitive and made it easier to paint the crowd as malicious.
I think that is sort of the point, though. If you are able to work/succeed at FAANG, you could build software in these niches quite profitably, because the competition is likely not all that good.

I don't think language is innocent, but language is also not statically linked to history. I believe that changes to software terms do not solve any problem that the poor are facing.

So keep using .NET Framework. v4.8 is only 3 years old and there is no end date set on the support yet. Considering the last version of the v3 era will be supported until 2029, I'm sure the last version of the v4 era will get quite a long period of support as well.

I bit the bullet and transitioned from WebForms to ASP.NET Core. I think it's easier than WebForms ever was. You can replicate 90% of what WebForms did with Razor Pages, but you also get much easier support for building RESTful APIs. And with DI built-in, I don't have to worry about junior devs forgetting to close/dispose database connections ever again.

Show HN: Sorted CSS Colors – Sort the named CSS colors in a nice way
The idea was to create a tool to sort the named CSS colors in a way that it shows related colors together. So, next time I can't decide between a few CSS colors, I can just check them here side by side.

manim works by generating a "partial movie file" for each animation, i.e. a single mp4 file for each scene.wait() call and so on. The final output just stitches these together.

I did exactly what you want using a small reveal.js plugin that parses the list of partial files generated by manim and inserts the corresponding video files into the presentation in thst order, it worked quite well. Let me know if you're interested and I'll throw it up on a GitHub gist.

the article doesn't say the "experts in the field" agree with the doctor, just that they collaborated, on a technical part of the experiment.

Again, this is such a small sample and out-there group that it's not representative and there are many explanations that are more likely than "the vaccine causes blood clots".

Bids by Chinese and other companies for Pacific cable no longer valid
the news article doesn't say; it attributes a quote to the doctor saying "it's the vaccine" but it's unclear whether that means "bad batch".

Personally, if 3 health workers all go to the same hospital in a remote region complaining of clots, it's more likely that something local happened (as you say, QA, or any number of other sources).
Derek did a good job on this issue, both warning it would happen before and re-emphasizing that it's most likely statistical anomaly. Even if the blood clots were a result of the AZ vaccine, it would still make more sense for most people to take the vaccine (I would), so a ban is entirely unjustified.

Governments banning their citizens from taking Astrazeneca should use accurate language "it's banned" instead of the language "pause rollout".

Taking a COVID vaccine is a choice individuals make and governments have denied them during a pandemic.

It's obvious if you know the solution ahead of time: we must conclude that the whole population needs to be vaccinated, and therefore we can work backward to find the false positive rate.

Now, you can get upset at this explanation, but I challenge you to find a better explanation for starting with the exact, but arbitrarily picked false positive rate that leads to a politically desirable outcome.

"""Calculating further, he said, roughly 1 percent of the 1,000 to 2,000 daily blood clots — 10 to 20 a day — would occur in the vaccinated patients just as part of the normal background rates, not related to the vaccine.

Fundamentally, Spectre is a class of bugs that arises from how modern CPUs are designed. It isn't just an Intel bug, an x86 bug, or a JS bug. CPUs that perform speculative execution after a branch prediction are generally expected to be vulnerable. And as I understand it (I'm a security person, not a CPU designer) branch prediction is a very important optimization that is responsible for a lot of the advances in CPU performance over the years. So if CPU designers dropped branch prediction, they'd be trading off a lot of speed for security.

People with Disabilities Say This AI Tool Is Making the Web Worse for Them
MY PROBLEM WITH CODE.ORG (2017-2018)
My concern about this is less about making it secure but keeping it secure. Zero-day vulnerabilities are a thing and you can never be 100% safe against those, so the next best thing is to have good monitoring in place so you get alerted when something nefarious is going on. This unfortunately requires 24/7 monitoring that's better left off to a dedicated team.
For now, I have been using this to test a toy/custom 2d client-server framework. All client events are piped to the server and processed in 1 gigantic ring buffer. This allows for ridiculous amounts of throughput due to batching effect. I am also using recurring, high-precision timers scheduled per client for purposes of triggering redraws and other important events as appropriate. This allows for complete decoupling of the event handling and client rendering pipelines. The breakdown is something like:

1 thread for ultra-low-latency timer execution

1 thread for processing the actual client event ring buffer, producing a consistent snapshot after each microbatch execution.

14+ threads for servicing HTTP requests (i.e. enqueuing client events), timers and redrawing client views using the near-real-time snapshots of business state.

My thinking is that if I can build something in this domain that is satisfactory, I could consider bringing it to an HFT firm as well.
