I think you are using "public" differently here than a lot of people would. A public bathroom is still "public" in that it's available to anyone and doesn't require specific information about you to use. However, most people would still consider it a private place, and expect their privacy to be respected while using it.
Too many to enumerate, already the utter lack of Unicode is a killer. The tool supports only the academic interpretation of regular expressions that are strictly equivalent to some NFA/state machine, which is useless because in the last forty years we use programming languages and libraries with extended abilities to deal with real world problems.

Some programmers have adopted to vernacular "regular expression" for the former and "regex" for the latter for easier distinction, see quote in http://enwp.org/Regexen#Patterns_for_non-regular_languages

Why would you go all the way to Earth with your god-like-technology only to get caught by our (to them) dumb-dumb radar systems and airplanes; and not at least say "hello".

I'd think that if you can travel intergalactic distances, you would either

- a) evade our detection

- b) say hello

Unless they have a sick sense of humor, I can't reconcile it and lean towards ETIs aren't currently visiting us.

The scaling / costs are an issue but then you're not using Heroku anyway and ... probably not whatever that blog is trying to sell you on ;)
Going skiing for 2 hours a day is 1000x better than going to the office. I get to meet _real_ people who don’t _have_ to tolerate me because we work together. Yes this is super cynical and real relationships form at work, but for the most part, work relationships are transactional and ephemeral.
What strength is there in being able to resist COVID-19 specifically, which is just one arbitrary sickness out of many that can still arise? One that didn‘t even exist until recently?

Strength and weakness are completely dependent on the environment and we are shaping that environment, for example by vaccinating.
AFAIK factoring 21 is "compiled" Shor, so even that result simplifies the problem a bit.

According the first link in my post, the numbers bigger than 21 were chosen to have specific mathematical properties and attacked with algorithms even less realistic that compiled Shor.

In a nutshell, you can intentionally choose to prevent others’ perception of a place from spoiling your own. One step further, you can even use their perception to enhance your own experience.

You’re standing in a place that your extremely distant ancestors and cousins once stood, in a place where your nieces and nephews and children might one day stand. You’re connected to the narrative of humanity.

The concept of “first” is a red herring in the narrative of humanity. It carries a lot less meaning than our current culture leads us to believe.

It doesn't seem weird to you that the skills you need to prepare for the interview have nothing to do with what the job actually entails?
You are leaning way too hard on point estimates of R0. The way people estimate R0 is noisy, and the error bars on these estimates are significant. It's fairly pointless to take any two papers and compare the values as if they're precise.

This literature review has estimates of R0 for flu running from 1.06-3.4, and rhinovirus running from 1.2-1.83:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.04.20020404v...

Given the uncertainties involved, these ranges are effectively identical, with flu maybe being a bit more contagious.

I wanted to start watching more classic movies recently as I realised that beside Chaplin's, I've seen very few movies made prior to the 1960s. I've found the main streaming platforms to have very little choice when it comes to these. Where would you recommend watching these old classic movies listed here?
For what it’s worth, I wish I had walked out on Google. That was definitely one where I knew I wouldn’t be happy on the job.

And I wish I’d stuck it out with MS, at least as a courtesy. Even if I would ultimately have been rejected. I was mostly just disappointed in the particular interview style. I got to the last interview in the loop, by the team’s lead, and asked if he had any intention to have me do an exercise relevant to the (frontend) job or if it would be 4 straight algorithm/data structure exercises. He said the latter, and that’s when I walked.

An AMD EPYC 7742 (Milan, Zen 3, announced last week, high-end server model) has ~100 GB/s DRAM bandwidth and 1-2 TFLOPS double precision.

A single PCI-e A100 has ~2Tb/s DRAM bandwidth, and 10-20 TFLOPs double precision. You can pack 4x of these per CPU socket... so you end up at 8 TB/s and 40-80 TFLOPs... That makes the GPUs like 99% of both the compute and memory BW of a socket.

The FCC site isn't very accurate. It really only tells you that a particular service might be available in that area. But you have to check with the actual ISP to verify. The FCC claims that AT&T DSL is an option at my home address, but if you go to the actual AT&T site it says "AT&T no longer offers DSL service".

The FCC site also claims that Cruzio fixed wireless is an option but I'm not even in their coverage area.

You'll usually just run a few tests if you are working on a specific feature and only run more of them when you think you are done. So most of the time there will be too little difference to make up for the increased compilation time.

Also, you are comparing compiled languages to interpreted ones, but the GP talked about differences between compilation time (i.e. compiled languages). And others are also comparing it to e.g. go (compiled but quick to compile).
You're begging the question.

Not everyone shares your "facebook is evil" perspective yet your post assumes that we all agree about that.
Scala's origins at EPFL under Odersky does give it a disadvantage given the history of academic origin languages in industry. OCaml was made at INRIA and it seems to have suffered the fate of becoming a niche language and toolchain for industry programmers. The Limbo programming language from Plan 9 didn't get very far until it was re-adapted and re-imagined as Go which has obviously gotten a lot of adoption from industry.

I'm not an either/or kind of person and don't see why a language suitable for academic purposes can't be broadly useful in industry, but I would also agree that leadership that has little background in certain use cases may not design and orient the language accordingly.

This has become quite the meme [1] but that doesn't make it true. We do have indeed very little (arguably no) evidence for extraterrestrial UFOs but we do have high-quality data on UFOs in general.

Most of them are explained by simple physical phenomena. Some of them, however, actually do relate to unexplained phenomena or projects by state level actors.

Great to hear that this got resolved and fair play to Substack for that, but this is inarguably a 1Password bug. If there had been any issue with resolution, they'd be the party I'd be chasing.

Other commenters here have bemoaned the need for these kind of heuristics in dealing with compat with bad HTML form implementations, but there's an easy fix to that: origin-based compat lists. Browsers do this for quirksmode/website compat fixes: they apply heuristics to a specifically tested list of sites. And browsers need to work with a much larger set of webpages than 1Password, so there's no reason 1Password couldn't do the same.

There isn't really any good excuse for applying heuristics blindly by default to a wide range of websites you have not tested those heuristics against. There might be an argument if it increased overall compat with the web IF these weren't highly sensitive pages (1Password saves credit card details!), but in this case there isn't really any excuse. The cost of achieving "blind" compat with smaller sites is too high in this case.
How does this differ from Mighty? As I understand it, they both put the render engine on a remote server and have you VLC into it, essentially.

It's so weird to me that this is cost-effective, as I always expect cloud computation time to be expensive. I suppose that's mostly markup, and I don't need a dedicated machine -- I want lots of cycles for short bursts and then other people can use the same processors for their bursts during my idle time.
Thing is, daos have potential intrinsic value in the way they decentralize governance.

An NFT would only be valuable if it constituted an enforceable contract over some share of future Revenue from use of the object of the contract. Right now, that's not true, thus NFTs are not valuable, cuz they don't earn anything (unless you find a bigger sucker -- but that's speculation, not investing)

Lots of people want to hop on the crypto bandwagon and use it for everything...it's better to use crypto for the things it is really good at: immutability, availability (maybe), nonrepudiation definitely. Confidentiality? Not really...
> Working hard is not what engineers enjoy.

There are different type of engineers. I think people will almost always miss the mark when they state "engineers enjoy xyz" even when it's something like "engineers enjoy problem solving". I actually enjoy fantasizing and being the idea guy, but I was too lazy to find a programmer so I taught it to myself instead. But I still enjoy being the idea guy much more than being a programmer. I like programming (and at times love to dive deep, deeper than a lot of web devs anyways), but I love being the idea guy.

Part of AZ's job is to manage their relationship with their DSMB (which is not the FDA). Even if they've done the science correctly and developed a good vaccine (I happen to think the evidence supports this view) they are also supposed to manage these relationships to stop this kind of disagreement becoming public.

Either one of two things has happened:

1) Their independent DSMB have conspired to screw them for reasons unknown - I think this is pretty unlikely.

2) They have mismanaged the communications with the DSMB and released results which it was their job to know the DSMB did not agree with.

Something not being approved is not the same thing as a ban. You and I might think there is enough evidence, given the context of the pandemic, to have started using this vaccine in the US but I am not qualified to assess that.

Agree on the storage point, I used their Redis and Postgres options for a few years with no real issues. Everything was seamless, even maintenance. The only complaint I could have would be cost, but that is expected.

Also, using S3 is simple and shouldn't incur much cost due to running in the same AWS region.
That is an amazing UI.

We hear you. But it looks like you're losing focus.
I have been saying this for many years, and have been condescended to a lot (by friends, even) for saying it.

We clearly don’t have the faintest understanding of the long-term dynamics of something like SARS, when all the conventional model parameters go to such extremes. And when the disease is evolving. And when people retreat inside and stop getting sun. And so on.
When the virus broke out there was an early paper, later retracted, which tried to link the virus with engineered HIV carrier strains.

Undoubtedly after looking at the sequences of that paper, there were some alignments, but how they were structured doesn't point to being engineered, but rather of co-infection, which did not match the conclusions of the paper.

What they do actually indicate might even be more politically inflammatory. That the virus evolved out of a recombination event in an HIV infected person infected with a SARS-like virus, and repackaged as a new SARS-CoV-2 virus.
CCTV material of criminals is similarly atrocious.

adults average 2-4 colds per year; kids even more so (6-8)

Think about all the natural immunity we squandered by locking everyone down.....not only did we miss out on herd immunity, but now it seems that even the common cold would've acted as a defense system

good to see Rails dev related posts on HN again:)
Thought you flounced off in a hissy fit, declaring that you wanted nothing to do with the people here because they didn't subscribe to your extreme libertarian politics on property rights?

Taking a break from HN, as this place is full of awful people who support arbitrary interference and control by local government of private property. It's hard to imagine having anything in common with people who support this kind of theft: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26532304

That didn't last long, did it?

Quoting single lines out of context doesn't make you right. Other commenters here have explained to you repeatedly various aspects of the relevant UK planning permission. Your sealioning is as obvious and childish as your hissy fit.

The developer did something that was illegal without permission. They knew it was illegal when they did it. They got caught and ordered to put it back. It was illegal to do that without permission on the day they bought the property. They bought the property knowing full well that it would be illegal to do that without planning permission. They did it anyway.

You spouting crap about other things that happened after they bought the property changes nothing. You quoting something about an irrelevant change to the law that doesn't apply in this case is just you spouting crap.

I now invite you to have another hissy fit.
I mean, they don't know yet if they've sacrificed execution and value delivery. Time will tell.
Speaking personally, I don't want to write in anything else but Ruby. If I have to code in something else, well, anything's fine. I don't want "elegance" in that language. I don't need other languages to try to be Ruby. I already have Ruby. I just want to get it done so I can build on that work... in Ruby.

I just don't understand why other people seem to think Ruby isn't enough.
Presumably for any military capability the US has that's well known about, they probably have a backup plan less well known about.
Look, you and I may have sane ANSI 16 colours, but it’ll be a very significant fraction of people that don’t (and almost no one will customise the next 240 colours). Remember things like that there’s a distressingly high chance that blue is almost invisible against black, and even bright blue’s contrast is commonly much too low—to say nothing of the limited palette range.

But what this program is doing is using termenv’s HasDarkBackground function to decide whether the terminal is light or dark, and is then specifying RGB colours. It’ll try to guess whether to use 16 colours, 256 colours or 24-bit colour and do some kind of mapping down if necessary (which I bet this app makes a total hash of, probably not having chosen the colours carefully). But the way it figures out the terminal’s background colour… ugh. Some terminals will support it, but for many it’ll fail and just assume black. Looks like on unix you could set an environment variable COLORFGBG to override this, https://github.com/muesli/termenv/blob/6bb55115565c27f4cc681..., but if you’re on Windows, tough luck, apparently you’re not allowed to have a light terminal (which you can get in Command Prompt by running `color f0`): https://github.com/muesli/termenv/blob/537e36cb0472a69a3c828....

The simple fact of the matter is that there are no particularly good solutions for handling colour in terminals if you want the colours to cohere and naturally map to real-world colour understanding, which is what something like this would prefer to be able to do. Things are just barely OK if you just want colours with no inherent semantics.

So… yeah, might be nice if they used the 16 colours, but I can readily understand them not doing so, and if they did do so, although it’d make it better for some, it’d make it worse for others. Where does the balance lie? I dunno.
Yes and GoFast looks like a cruise missile. The remaining question for me would be why are multiple pilots seemingly confused by what they are seeing? Is it acting/conspiracy?
