UUIDs are horrible. While a computer doesn't really care about the way an identifier looks, humans sometimes do need to look at them and operate on them (compare them, transcribe them, dictate them, recognize them).

Thank god I quit frontEnd, the story was like this:

- 2010: dude look this new thing "angularjs" a model/controller(vue?)/STAR*, the $scope dude it's crazy, something dynamically changes in the $scope and HOPP it appears instantly in the page :D

Few years fast-forward, have a watcher in a model that changes something in another model, unpredictable changes down/up, random mutations...duhh da heck?? We were good sending HTML from the server missing those days...

- 2014: dude look this new thing, it is called "React" and you know what?, forget about the state up/down, down/up and allover the place, the state is ONE DIRECTION with React, and it is backed by Facebook bro.

-(me) Oh yeah? Ok what about the 3 years I spent battling with AngularJS?

- Don't bother bro Google is dropping active development and maintenance of AngularJS, it is either you switch or use their beta Angular 2.

-(me) No, thanks I'll go for React.

- Dudeeee look it is Redux, you dispatch an action, and it takes care of updating the state, and you know what, you can combine it with Redux-thunk to avoid race conditions.

-(me) Wait wuuuut? Race conditions in the front? Feels like it is becoming a game engine bro da heeeeck...

- Brooowww, look dat new baby, VueJs :D

-(me) wait wuuuut? Don't tell me Facebook is letting down active development of React.

- No bro it's just another cool front lib it is really dope, and it's only the V(vue) part of the front taking care of reactively updating the DOM.

-(me) ok but what's new?

- Now you can have a DSL addition in HTML cool stuff like 'v-for' to dynamically hide/show a DOM element without writing any code.

-(me) wait, wuuuuut, this reminds me of something I've seen before, the ng-if AngularJS is coming back with another name? I'm loosing my mind broooo.

- Dudee look its Gatsbyjs, generates a cool static site, but you have to write React and graphql for it

-(me) ok.

- Dudeeeee look svelte is killing them all.

-(me) ok.

- Dudeeeee this one is an absolute killer, nextjs everything is server side rendered, you write your React component you describe the data and the server takes care of building the static html and send it to the client.

-(me) wuuuut? But that's what we were doing back in 2009?

- 2019 duuuuudeeeeee ...

-(me) STFU I quit.

(and since then, I'm happy cloud solution architect)
I'm talking about the fact that there's only one Alt Gr, on the right of the spacebar, but many characters behind an Alt Gr modifier on the right-hand side of the keyboard. You can't type any of those characters using the correct form for touch-typing, which is to hold the modifier key with one hand while pressing the letter key with the other.
I am an author on the paper, and just saw this thread. Thanks for all of your comments. Note this work focuses on errors in test sets, not training labels. Test sets are foundation of benchmarking for machine learning. We study test sets (versus training sets), because training sets are already studied in-depth in confident learning (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.00068.pdf) and because before this paper, no one had studied (at scale, for lots of datasets) if these test sets had errors in the first place (beyond just looking at the well-known erroneous ImageNet dataset, for example) and do these test sets affect benchmarks. The answer is, yes, if the noise prevalence is fairly high (above 10%). The takeaway, is you must benchmark models on clean test sets, regardless of noise in your training set, if you want to know how your model will perform in the real world.
Or states where the strongmen were toppled by "democracy by bombing (and get their resources)" operations, that turned half a century stable places like Iraq, Libya, etc. into civil-war hellholes...

No, many of my peers (30somethings in midwestern US) default to SMS. The only platforms you can guarantee everyone in a group can be expected to have are email, SMS, or phone calls, so for informal social stuff we end up in a text message thread.

Probably 80% have Facebook, 50% iMessage, 30% Discord 20% Twitter/Signal/Telegram/Whatsapp (pre-FB).

What messenger app can you depend on everyone having if not one of those three federated platforms?
It's disappointing to see a breach like this and even more disappointing to see what (at least on the surface) appears to be a lackadaisical response.

At someone who runs a UniFi network in my home with just 4 pieces of hardware (gateway, wired switch, and 2 PoE WAPs) I'm really curious if there are solid alternatives for a managed home network. UniFi really hit a sweet spot of price/performance that made it a somewhat pricey; but, not totally unreasonable option for the home.

Any suggestions from the HN crowd?
The author could well have been right, but underestimated how much economic interdependence was required for his thesis to hold.
I’ve thought a lot about a type system for Nix. Typing the mix expression language would improve some things, but since so much of what people do with the Nix expression language is writing scripts that take in files and transform them into other files, you would really want a type system for the derivations which could describe the “shape” of the input and output files. I’m not aware of any such type system, but it would be a really interesting area of research. Would love to know if others have thought about this or not.
>If it’s enabled by capitalism, how do we explain Chernobyl

I don't know why I'm being treated like this for posting an obvious truth. Both capitalism and communism have both been root causes for environmental disasters. The question posed is not some clever rebuttal to blaming capitalism, but a simple mistake of reasoning. I guess I'm sorry to have been the one to point it out.
> Now, it belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art

How did it come into their possession, I would be interested to hear.
Whenever this comes up, I always ask, even though I can anticipate the answer:

has anyone cloned Lotus Improv, either literally or ideologically? The closest thing I've used recently that was close was probably Airtable, but that's more an iterative improvement on FileMaker/Access, with a web focus, than really a competitor to Improv. There also used to be a Java desktop app, but it wasn't targeted for casual desktop use, and I've long since forgotten its name.
But it's the most available one, since Pfizer's low on availability in the EU. Also, France, the country in the subject here, has a high vaccine skepticism rate (separate from Astra) ranging from 50-60 pct.. source being France24 report from December.
And of course, the evidence only needs to be strong enough to convince a judge there is enough probable cause to issue a warrant.
I works perfectly fine today in Windows applications like Office.

Frankly, all we needed was a switch where you can add VLAN tags and send them to a trunk port. And I suppose a password on the "I would like this VLAN on this port, please" interface is also necessary, but I think that already concludes the grand list of requirements. Everything else we control on the router.

It doesn't have to be network equipment in the traditional sense: any old linux server will do, it's just that it needs to have a couple dozen network ports. Traffic can be limited to a gigabit per second between all the ports combined (no need for multi-gigabit backplanes or switch fabrics or what the correct term for that is). I'd almost buy a big USB hub and connect USB–Ethernet adapters, but that feels more hacky than core infrastructure is supposed to be.
perhaps more relevant is how knuth literally took a decade off from writing his books to write a better typesetting system.
WordPro was awesome. It came on my mom's ThinkPad back in the mid-90s (along with an optional partition of OS/2 that I immediately removed to make more room for Windows, and then restored, and then removed, each a half-dozen times), and I initially hated it because it wasn't WordPerfect, but I soon grew to really appreciate how carefully thought out their entire approach was. In my opinion, WordPro (and the other modern apps in that suite, notably not including 1-2-3) were just a great example of how really doing something right for the GUI was fundamentally different from doing it right for the CLI.

Somewhere, in my office, is still a CD with Lotus 96 on it, but I've had no real desire to reinstall it in a VM.
I hope you don't end up fulfilling your own prophecy
There should be a button on there that converts the site to a pdf.
China Wants a ‘Rules-Based International Order,’ Too
Most hardware companies don’t care in the slightest about software quality. To them, software is just another line item on the Bill Of Materials, like a bolt or piece of sheet metal. You either have some overworked intern who knows C cobble something together that barely works or you buy it from the least expensive supplier. When the build is ramping, at the end of the assembly line somebody is going to flash something on the device, and they are not going to stop the line to worry about a security hole.
Keep your dogma towards accepting the status quo on hacker news please, a diversity of opinions is valued here.
It would not be hard to read on desktop you can simply show multiple pages like in book you usually see 2 pages. The same concept works if you have place for more pages. Its just not something people do (create PDFs for mobile).
Almost all PDFs are meant to be read at approximately the size of DIN A4 for one page. In a time everyone is and should be disencouraged from printing stuff this is not really needed.
> I feel my experience was representative

Everyone does.
During this week I've been playing around with replacing my USG with my existing home server - it already has two NICs - my first thought was to run OPNSense in a VM but nftables on NixOS seems to work well enough - there are a few examples floating online [0,1]. OpenBSD even supports the USG [2] but I couldn't think of much reason to keep the extra hardware.

The next thing I want to do is reflash my Unifi APs with OpenWRT [3] - the hardware is fine, but at that point I'll get all the support without the controller software.

My home environment is fairly basic so moving away isn't too hard - this would obviously be much harder for a small business...

I'd say it was unnecessarily dismissive.
I'm pretty sure I'm safe. I left as soon as I could (almost 2 years ago) once I realized how institutionally broken the company was.
> . . . in disadvantaged youth offered early education.

Head Start was a lot more than just early education. It was social services, nutrition, mental health services, and even the employment of some parents of the Head Start children. I should be clear that I do not mean to claim the total absence of benefits of kindergarten. I was exaggerating. The position I will stake is that I believe the benefits are likely very minor, even outside of COVID, and especially for affluent children.
Africa really needs to be the target rollout for these vaccines if and when they materialize.
Of course training makes a difference. But if you don't win the genetic lottery, you're never going to be in the 1% that are good enough to make a living at it. Not a chance.

Me, my coordination is poor. It takes a lot of training for me to even get to the point where most people start. But it doesn't matter to me, as I'm good at things other people are bad at, and fortunately I enjoy doing those things and people pay me to do it.

Nobody would pay me for my athletic ineptitude, my musical disability, or my artistic malfunction. And so what. Viva la difference.
InterServer Hosting Review
We could train our "soft" neural networks very efficiently with a computer interface. Maybe not as fast as dedicated software neural networks, but the human mind responds very quickly to feedback loops (sometimes destructively).

Which makes me wonder, what will an overtrained brain look like? What kinds of illnesses are we unleashing on the world by attaching an interface like that directly to the brain?
How "cloned" do you want?

as far as I know Quantrix Modeler https://quantrix.com/products/quantrix-modeler/ started as a clone and has continued on with the same idea, though by now I assume it's accreted enough bells and whistles to be just barely recognizable.

ETA: also it's 2.5 grand a seat so...
On that page, they just mention "growing maintenance costs and technical support needs"... I've wondered if there could be any intellectual property problem underneath but there's no indication about such a thing. It's sad anyway, that was such a great tool (bis repetita).
Is there a possible confounder that the kids whose parents find out about these offerings and take their kids to them are more attentive overall?
I don't think any public university is making someone use Facebook. The issue is that every single event is posted on Facebook so your options are either 1. create a Facebook so you can find out, 2. don't participate, or 3. inconvenience your friends by asking them to tell you about all the events.
That's pretty slick! Thanks
That is my exact configuration, too. Would love to have alternatives.
Why Solve a ReCaptcha to Connect?
The answer is likely obvious in that it depends on what content is the visible content at the time of the bookmark, which will further depend on the content itself (it can change since this is a bookmark on an alive web page), page styles, zoom level/scaling, window size etc.

Basically, for a bookmark to fully store a position, it would have to store all of the above (and probably more), and it would only be really usable on the same device as long as the underlying content does not change.
Leadership Lessons from Bill Campbell, the Trillion Dollar Coach
Sorry, I don’t understand your point. Mine was simply that a belief in toxic air could not have caused the symptoms to appear since she didn’t have that belief yet.
I've found Derek Lowe's commentary to be very enlightening: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/
I'm happy that someone came Forth with that idea here.
The book "Trillion Dollar Coach" is on my queue to read, so I plan on using Steve Glaveski's notes to decide how to read the chapters based on needs, interests and challenges I have today. This advice is one of my favorite ways to get people to control their time and create an internal sense of urgency: "Don’t tell people what to do, tell stories and help guide them to the best decisions for them."
>Now, we don't have choice. [...] I have to use their editors

Only for the submission. You can write externally. There used to be "It's All Text" before Firefox's extensions got gutted, which automated that copying. I wonder where that lies on their list of "apps" to edit with.
My pet theory is that anxiety is an over trained brain reaction.

Aha! Yeah, that's the Java GUI client I mentioned. But yes, $2500 a seat is a bit more than I would like to pay for my use case. :)

(I'm not saying it's Not Worth That, but I definitely would not get back my investment for what I use spreadsheets for.)
I think it's more offensive to see somebody call this offensive. It's just an analysis of a series of paintings and the royal and the rich and the corrupt and the powerful will always be around. To call this offensive is to be coddled into a false worldview that attempts to suppress the rancid, messy and yet commendable truth of humanity.
It's an interesting idea to have a single pane of glass management experience for OpenWRT - given that all config is under UCI [0] it seems very possible. One of the things on my todo list is to try and get Nix to push config to my Unifi APs when I flash them with OpenWRT.

You also have to consider that someone somewhere probably had your phone number before you did. There's no telling what the previous person did with that number.
Thanks. I just found my backup file(exported from Facebook when I deleted the account) and it's dated September 2016, so it's actually 4.5 years. Time flies and I don't regret that decision at all!
Source code often does facilitate it's own method of paginating, into different files. One could argue that is the whole point of the practice.

Pagination or not, both pagination and files provide some degree of spatial sense just as 'loci' and memory palaces.

Edit addendum:

There are theories about which senses are our dominant ones, and how they affect our learning processes. Some may lean towards visual ques in their mental life, others on kinetic or sound. Personlly I experience my mental models as spatial. Even abstract thoughts become situated "somewhere", if not by itself, then by contrast of other things on my mind.

"Everything is a Memory palace."

Needless to say, when I'm deep off in a terminal with something, I don't think I'd describe it as text-based.
How do you figure? She apparently had a lot of medical testing that showed something was wrong with her physically but the doctors had no idea what. Sounds like this was long before she knew anything was off with the property.

The article didn't make any concrete accusations and she was just asking for an investigation. She didn't say causation, she said correlation. "I began to think that there was an important correlation between this data and my symptoms." Even when she saw high VOCs, she didn't assume it was the remediation site. " I knew the situation was likely going to be complicated and that the tVOC readings on my personal monitors were not going to be conclusive on their own, but my gut told me something was terribly wrong." She was open to the site not being the cause. "I was thinking: If you don’t want me to be worried about this chemical’s impact to my health, you should tell me exactly why it wasn’t included in the clean-up despite being above residential limits." + "So, what made me sick? While in the end everyone agreed it was VOCs, I may never know for certain if it was the chemicals in the soil or groundwater and, if so, which ones."

Also, she mentioned a few times that doctors, government, and even Irvine Company's public relations person admitted VOCs made her sick, but just didn't know where the VOCs came from.

None of that sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Why should I choose OpenBSD over FreeBSD or even Linux with nftables?
This is a more of an etymology issue than what you think, if you need to look up the word etymology, I'm referring to the the history of the words and not suggesting any changing meaning

To some. My imagination is quite good and as a child I consumed vast quantities of print media. A lot of it wasn't appropriate for a child to consume.
I have had to keep a notes.txt file around because I don't install often enough to remember what choices I made last time.

That said, I think it was a good (hard) experience installing arch the first few times, and I'm a little conflicted.

Is this like the doctors saying "residents should be sleep deprived like I was at their age"... is it good experience or is it clinging to outdated ways?
Microsofts underhanded behavior with the SCO Linux case is one of the primary reasons to distrust them.

Oracle of Ages and Seasons – Link Cable Vulnerabilities
Source code has a bunch of other properties that make pagination less useful.

I.e. we strive for short functions, we use indentation heavily, it is commonly rendered in fixed-width fonts (this helps with spatial memory/overview too), etc.
Copy/pasting can be infuriating though. The web is catching up fast however, but at least I can view source/inspect.
These apps have been "lost" for one single reason: they weren't FLOSS. There's plenty of software written in the 1980s that has been maintained since and is used today on modern platforms, because its code was made available under a suitable license. Proprietary software is a dead end, and proprietary online services only more so.
It’s a fascinating article and a beautiful piece of art.
I believe, that you both think the very same idea just using different words.
NASA needs to do way more cool stuff like this. Drilling rocks and analyzing them is very useful for science but flying a drone is what gets people excited and inspired. I can’t wait for the drone they want to fly on Titan one day or a submarine diving on Europa. I think projects like this are also driving technology forward.
3 months ago, a friend of mine got it and he couldn't even walk the stairs.

He's 34 and does a lot of sports. So, i wouldn't say that it's a cold virus already... Not deadly for younger people, doesn't mean it has no consequences.
Be honest.

He’s a bigoted right-wing conservative who doesn’t want to hear about interesting scientific developments that he views as benefiting people with lifestyles that he condemns.

You’re showing your bigoted ass by defending his bigoted ass. Fuck both of you.

I think there would be more value to this project as a standard, and a set of implementations of the standard in different libraries and frameworks.

The companies I work for are just going to re-implement this (poorly) in their own language and framework. They generally can't just pick up a single turn-key solution, because they already have 50 custom internal systems with records they need to manage.

If there were open source libraries that followed a standard for GDPR record management, they could pick up those libraries and plug the pieces they need together, according to the standard. That would remove a lot bugs from trying to write all the code themselves, and make it easier to integrate different systems.

I doubt any person can say with any credibility whether kindergarten had an impact on them. It’s like asking if breastfeeding had an impact on a person — they simply wouldn’t know.
I agree, I felt as if I had a personal museum guide, and I was allowed to zoom in and out at will. My only complaint is the quality of the reproductions, it's a shame not to enjoy the brushstrokes.
