I've been using nvim with LSP (via coc.nvim) for more that a year now. After switching from IDEA.

I feel much more productive with vim's speed and plugins then with IDEA\Goland, where I was using less that 20% of it's power I guess.

Not to mention that even on MBPr 2019 with 2-3 copies of IDEA in action - IDEA starts to lag like crazy.

The important question (imho) would be: What can be done with this still open connection after the client closed the tab?

* Might the server use it for anything without my consent?

(e.g. hacking the sandbox as this state of the browser might open another code-tree with yet unknown security-bugs, or might still running js-scripts keep going in the background even after closing the tab?)

* Might the browser use it for anything without the server's consent?

Thanks for the honest reflection. It's interesting to consider how long YC might have continued to dismiss the remote option if Covid-19 had not appeared. Maybe another decade?

It's also interesting to consider other areas where the cost-benefit ratio fluctuates depending on the level of effort - and that changes over time. For example, the US Air Force would probably say that drone aircraft are becoming important, but that the war in Afghanistan shows the US still needs aircraft with a pilot in the cockpit. However, if you gave the Air Force an ultimatum and said that in 12 months it had to fight a mock battle with only unmanned aircraft - and all officers would be demoted if they lost - then the US might develop a fighting capability far in excess of its current ability.

you miss the point - it isn't Florida with the "stand your ground", it is international waters where one side's "reasonable" most probably means absolutely nothing to the other side(s). You shoot at something in your denial zone - it is an act of war, and you open yourself to reciprocation. China, for example tries to establish various zones in international waters for the reasons of its national security - the US ships and planes still sail and fly right through rightfully without giving a flying f-k.

The related articles at the bottom of that post are revealing.. painting a picture as something of an epidemic of drone swarms that government agencies are unequipped to make sense of. Some at sensitive sites such as a missile base on Guam and a nuclear power plant. Mysterious drone swarms surveilling Colorado and Nebraska. All in 2019 early 2020.

Another article revealing that a Turkish company has developed military "suicide" drone swarms and some opinions on how poorly equipped the US DoD is for these types of low cost drone swarms. Technology that's readily available and affordable to just about anyone with deep enough pockets, not just poor state adversaries like North Korea but also drug cartels etc.

Really concerning that with all the tax dollars spent on defense research, these types of activities can take place en masse with no real strategy for countering them
In 1926 Italy had already vastly changed the state (i.e. the parliament could no control the government, elections were tilted in favour of the fascist party) but it was still technically a democracy, it's only in November 1926 that non-fascist parties and organizations were abolished.

So, interestingly this specific attempt might have pushed things in 2 directions: faster and harsher repression, or the rise of a less fundamentalist leader.

There's plenty of material for ucronic writing :)
I was, and I've never worked for a FAANG. I think the excuse was that there was a corporate reorganization so technically we were all being let go by one entity and hired by a spinoff company. So if we didn't agree, they could just not rehire us.
Strip the subjectivity and emotion away from your analysis for a moment (not permanently), and it's easy to see both sides. Construct and add the same amount of emotion/bias in the other direction and you can construct just as "obvious" a one-sided story for the other side! Just for fun, you can construct a weak form from just the phrase you used:

"these folks have been gathering in this spot to do this [illegal] thing weekly... residents... want it canceled, citing [the law]"

I don't agree with this reductive view, but to me it's not clearly more so than the one-sided perspective you expressed. As I mention in another comment, I think the question of community rights and "the tyranny of bureaucracy" is a fascinating and complex one, and don't think the situation is covered by simply noting that the gathering is clearly against the law[1] and isn't victimless. I don't personally recognize adherence to every detail of every law as the highest moral good (a view that's clearly widespread, even implicitly, as evidenced by the PD's refusal to do anything about the plainly-illegal event thus far, as mentioned in the article).

But the question of where exactly acceptable, public lawbreaking starts and ends is a complex and interesting one. Where exactly does the line fall for where lawbreaking should be grandfathered in? What's the plainly-obvious equation for how to calculate when a group of citizens is entitled to break the law, and does that apply to all citizens equally? If so, how widespread is this legal bubble? If the law itself is irredeemably flawed, why not repeal it? If it hasn't been repealed, and implicitly has the support of our democratic system, on what basis do we determine that the exception being granted has the consent of society?

None of these are rhetorical. Laws can obviously be unjust, as can specific by-the-book applications of overall-just laws. On top of that, not all important communities are concretely well-defined and not all important norms are codified. But I'm really puzzled by the claim that it's trivial and unnuanced to draw lines between the rule of law and the (many! contradicting!) uncodified moral convictions that it's being claimed should transcend collective decision-making about society's norms.

[1] The article mentions consistent violation of ordinances. To the extent that the complaint is about the legal parts of the gathering, I agree that the topic isn't especially interesting.
DFW is another such megacity. The construction happening there reminds me of parts of China.

It is, purely, a mass transfer of cash from consumers to Archer Daniels Midland, among the world's worst corporations. It has uniformly negative benefit for anybody besides Archer Daniels Midland.

Anytime you have occasion to communicate with somebody involved in federal governance—e.g., any member of Congress—always ask what they are doing to stop subsiding Archer Daniels Midland.
The irony about your comment is that you're kind of proving my point about activists. Being an activist for "minorities" (I thought I heard that was exclusionary language now?) has become a core identity for you, and anyone who questions any of the social justice Gish gallop such as this merely has a "privileged POV."

Yawn.
Well they installed locks on the pilot's door which seems to have neutered the approach so far.
I'm sorry but this is difficult to believe. The site says that it's unlawful to do "minor vehicle repair [...] Using tools not normally found in a residence". If it was just a zoning law, why does it have to include that stipulation? I've seen plenty of people who own tools "not normally found in a residence". It's hard to guess exactly what the authors' intentions were, but it wouldn't be unreasonable for someone to conclude that there were other motives besides just cracking down on illegal auto shops.
Based on the flight times and 100 mile flights ~100 miles off the coast and the investigated boats in the area...they couldn't be small. At least not with current consumer battery technology. Maybe if they were launched by a sub?

I use ripgrep because it is noticeably snappier, especially for unicode. Other tools like hyperfine or fd are just more convenient. I'd have no problem replacing ls with another tool, but none of them support viewing SELinux attributes.

I really don't care whether a tool is standard or not when it comes to a workstation. I have so many thinks tweaked and personalized that using a few nonstandard tools doesn't make a difference.
The 2-by-1 and 3-by-2 division functions described in the paper result in a very measurable speedup in my code. I think you're confusing those with the reciprocal calculation itself (which can be computed with a lookup table). I agree that part doesn't really lend itself to any significant performance benefit and is probably better calculated with a single hardware division instead.

I feel it necessary to point out that the 3-by-2 division actually has multiple benefits which are easy to miss:

1. The quotient loop can be skipped as I mentioned.

2. The "Add back" step is less likely to be triggered.

3. Since a 2-word remainder is computed with the division, you can skip 2 iterations on the multiply+subtract step.

My reimplementation of GMP documents both the 2-by-1 and 3-by-2 divisions pretty thoroughly[1][2].

I’ve only spent a couple minutes looking at the plot, but it appears they don’t know why half the patients are showing symptoms in a normal year. This year, something new that they didn’t add to their test aggregation—I assume COVID—increased the “other” category and decreased the “flu” category. But note that means ~80% of the data is categorized as missing last year, so extrapolate this observation at your own risk.

There's a point for the developers and to communicate features and bugfixes. And they still help in supporting installations. But you are correct, they become less important. They (patch versions at least) don't necessarily have to be communicated to users.
I wonder how much of this rhizophagy cycle applies to plants that don't really rely on the soil for nutrients. e.g. many of the insectivore plans (venus fly trap, pitcher plant, etc.).

In fact, if you try to plant venus fly trap in rich soil, it'll probably die.
So the compromise is, the guys in the luxury condos get what they want, and the people who have been using this public park for years must go hang out in a parking lot somewhere else instead? King Solomon you ain't.

No it isn't. As far as I'm concerned a well behaved website/page isn't even going to have a live connection once everything is loaded. Provided it's not a video stream or something. If data the user requested isn't actively being transferred there shouldn't be a connection.
> We already knew that Western expats and their relations in Wuhan got viral pneumonia in November 2019, while by January 2020, China did not consider it wise to inform the world of human-to-human transmission.

We now know about viral pneumonia in November 2019, but hindsight is a very comfortable position to judge from.

Going from that to establishing that by January 2020 China should know everything about the virus and disease is reaching quite a bit.

That whole argument reminds me way too much of that propaganda narrative by Fox citing a WHO tweet [0] about one preliminary Chinese investigation not finding evidence for H2H, in that particular investigation, to turn that around into: "WHO and China say there is no H2H!".

But a lack of evidence in one particular investigation is not the same as claiming there's no H2H.

H2H isn't just some binary thing, it's a spectrum of vectors that take time and effort to properly establish, that's why all the official recommendations from the WHO at the time was to treat this as very H2H.

Ask HN: Predict Stocks with Tweet Sentiment
Hello everyone,

I am new to DS/ML and currently trying my head on this project. I would like to predict the stock price for one or two day ahead based on the historic price and the tweet sentiment for that particular stock.

Currently, I have around 350,000 tweets dataset for a particular stock and did sentiment analysis using Vader Lexicon analysis, and the stock dataset from yfinance. Plotted both the charts to see some correlation and found out twitter sentiment does have affect on the stock price.

I am confused with how to use this sentiment to predict the stock or how should i proceed further with this project or is this something useless if I put it on my Resume.

Thanks
How did we arrive at using pi as a multiplier?
It's pretty undeniable that something significant is going on and has been for quite some time. What is now called drones might have been called UFO's or airships in a previous decade.

And you see the same old characters saying "certainly this is a covert project from another branch/country." That argument seems quite nebulous and plausible if you watch a lot of Marvel movies, but if you know the defense industry, and consider how long that argument has been used (since the Foo fighters of WW2), it falls apart. The US gov is behind the private sector in computing software and hardware by over a decade (and has been for a while), and really anything making a lot of money these days commercially is well ahead of the defense counterpart (small drones, rockets, etc.) Look to the pay rates for engineers working on TS projects and you can see why. The talent has been going to SV since the early 90's. The other countries with significantly smaller budgets? I doubt we'll find anyone from a contender country that can speak to the efficiency of their research on HN, but projecting from the much better funded and more advanced US and the efficiency of bureaucracies in general, it seems unlikely there's anything from China or Russia that can sneak up on us so easily, let alone do maneuvers described in some other incidents going back 70+ years.
Did some planetary body hit Venus and destroy all life 700 million years ago ? Maybe even changed its rotation the other way ?
I'm not sure that optimising for "reaching a decision quickly" is really a valid strategy here. To do that, you'd basically turn the first rule of improv into a constitutional principle and always say "Yes" to any binary decision.

If what you mean is "reaching the correct decision quickly" then that sounds like it's begging the question, because correctness is subjective and it has to be optimised relative to certain other criteria than just speed.

I agree with you, though, that it is definitely worth looking at death count per capita (of different jurisdictions) and compare that with the costs of vaccination programs and lockdowns. Those won't be easy calculations to make, but after keeping epidemiologists and economists busy for the rest of the decade we may eventually learn some fascinating lessons from all this.
Scrapy to Corpus
I’m more interested why saving multiplications at the cost of more add/subtract helps overall?

On all modern CPUs their speed is the same for float numbers. Specifically, they have 4 cycles of latency on Skylake, 3 cycles of latency on Zen2, throughput (for 32-byte vectors) is 0.5 cycles for both CPUs.
Imagine the timeline if humans and our technology were around 700 million years ago, at a time when some of our sibling planets were potentially habitable.
What Is AWS Amplify
That doesn't feel quite the same. My intuition is based on noticing that many instances of NP-complete problems can be solved quickly, and that adding more sophisticated heuristics can put more instances in that category. I'm just guessing that the set of actually-slow instances can be made arbitrarily small if the program is long enough, i.e. has enough special cases for classes of problem that are amenable to faster solutions. It has the same "long enough program" flavor, but I don't think the equality will be quite exact.

because you specified large - that's a self defeating condition. You lock down before it gets large - otherwise, being large means you can no longer trace/track and quarantine.

Australia had an outbreak in melbourne that came from a leak in hotel quarantine, and sydney had a similar leak. There was large scale lockdown in melb (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Australia...) which lasted 4 months - it was brutal for everyone, but it kept the outbreak from spreading from around 7000 cases. You can make similar observations for sydney.

Therefore, the question of whether lockdowns work for large outbreaks has the implied assumption that you only lockdown after the outbreak is large, and thus is a loaded question. The lockdown needs to look like an overreaction after the fact, or it would not have helped.

1) uMatrix can block these.

edit: fixed #3
Back when TLS (or rather SSL) was originally designed, people were very aware of cipher vulnerabilities - there was a lot of academic attention on them, there was a recent history of ciphers being broken, and US export restrictions forced international programs to support a known-weak cipher (DES). People were much less aware of protocol vulnerabilities - security protocols were nowhere near as widespread and weren't really the subject of academic study. So at the time people expected to need to upgrade ciphers relatively often but upgrade the protocol rarely, if at all, and designing the majority of the protocol to be fixed with the ciphers as a pluggable, swappable part made sense.
Ugh, those messy frame rates. I like my Sony α6100, but they’ve made such a mess of the frame rates. They’ve tied the 25/30 decision to a PAL/NTSC switch (and this fact is completely undocumented, of course), and so if I want to record at 30 or 60fps instead of 25 or 50, I have to go to NTSC, which makes it pop up an annoying “Running on NTSC” message every time I start the camera in video mode, and then to add insult to injury it’s not even 30fps but 29.97fps, which is a real nuisance in editing. (This is all when recording on the camera; I don’t know if it would be any different via HDMI capture.)

But then I’ve been adding still more fun by recording audio on my laptop with a good USB microphone, and replacing the audio recorded on the camera. But the laptop’s clock runs a bit slower than the camera’s¹ so I have to stretch the computer-recorded audio by 0.003% (Audacity: Effect → Change Speed) to counter what would otherwise be about 110ms of drift per hour (3.3 frames at 30fps). Good times.

—

¹ To measure rates absolutely rather than just one device to another, you need a canonical time source; internet time servers will do, so you compare what the audio device is sending with what internet time servers report over the course of a few hours to eliminate jitter. As for why you’d care, I cared so I could tune my piano more accurately. I measured the alleged 22050Hz as being about 22048.862Hz, which means it’s running at about 99.99484% of real speed. This difference amounts to −0.9 cents, which is utterly unimportant for a solo instrument, but hey, it’s the principle of the thing.
