Yes, that's what I've been doing for years, and I hate it (to the point of disabling mouse support). It is extremely annoying to have to press SHIFT for normal operations that work out of the box in every other program.

Fortunately, thanks to ianthehenry's solution on this thread, you can do the same thing without pressing shift!
Yeah the blog is slightly misleading. The binary web server is running on the ARM core of the modem only. It's not as though mobile providers are starting to allow web hosting across their LTE network.
I don't know. A couple of years ago I read a piece in (I believe) The Atlantic that proposed it was a massive volcanic eruption that did the dinos in. The sub-plot of the article was how science gets attached to an idea (i.e., it was an asteroid) and more or less self-fulfills that idea despite plenty of evidence that calls it into question.

Found it!

I have a friend who tells a story of how “Excel saved the world” because during the 2014/15 Ebola outbreak Excel was used so much.

So it’s not so much to exclude, but to figure out how to use it and include it.

I think Excel is like the saturated fat of the data world. Widely used, found bad in many situations, tried to be removed completely, replacements caused more harm (sugar), now figuring out the right kind and what combinations are good.
Throughout Norway, pretty much all sales of alcoholic beverages over 4.7% happens through state-run liquor stores (Vinmonopolet).

Their selection is pretty great, but obviously imposes limits vs. a totally open import arrangement. And if a local store doesn't have something in stock, you can order it for later pickup, much like at a library with multiple branches. I don't know how that works in Svalbard, since it's so remote, but I wouldn't be surprised if they follow more or less the same procedures.

Interestingly, since they are a single buyer for millions of people, the Vinmonopolet purchasers get some great deals. And, since it's state-owned and very regulated, there are rules about how much they can mark up a bottle vs. their purchase price. So, you see this weird phenomenon in which people from elsewhere in Europe will fly to Norway to buy a case of some vintage that turned out really well and as a result is super-expensive everywhere else.
Yes, precisely. Thank you for demonstrating. If there were any more mea culpas to be made, I can guarantee that OAN would already have handed it to you.

I think a more killer feature of tmux is that you can send keystrokes to apps running inside tmux (with send-keys). It just opens a door for scripting CLI apps that otherwise would not be scriptable. e.g. irc clients and similar full screen apps.
Is this just the idea that there exists a kind of Kolmolgorov complexity for hand-wavy epistemology, where it is possible to find or derive the shortest algorithm for producing a given output/hypothesis?

If you are willing to engage the authors tediousness, it doesn't matter what he ultimately tells you, because by finishing it you have already invested and committed to the idea that the author has something meaningful and valuable to say, and you are left trying to piece together an interpretation that serves this flawed and tendentious premise. The article is meaningless, the writing is designed to exploit your sunk-cost bias in having finished it. It is just an expression of the authors self-importance and a mental virus for suckers.

But wait, clearly I have misunderstood and it is my own set of intellectual limitations and beliefs that has placed me outside the circle of initiates. Just because there is some valuable or satisfying bait at the bottom of it doesn't make it any less of a trap.

This medium doesn't provide for merely lifting a middle finger in the air to the author, but I hope these words have expressed the sentiment adequately.
There are built-in "die" and "warn" that do (kinda) the same thing and which I tend to be using all the time.

Oh come on, the keto subs are a bit uh, over-vigilant, but you are very clearly not telling the full story here.
Well, Java 8 isn't really "new" anymore. :)

But, I was complaining about the 8+ DateTime API. Now, granted, it's WAY, WAY, better than the old API. And it's much better than what's available in at least several other languages (cough JavaScript with no time zones at all).

It still depends on a global, mutable, time zone variable. It uses it in several places where it's kind of hard to get it to just use a given time zone.

The API is also just really hard to discover and use correctly. Look at what classes implement TemporalAccessor. It's not easy at all to guess which methods will throw an exception for a given implementer. Further, what if your function is just given a TemporalAccessor? I have NO IDEA what I'm actually able to call on the object without it exploding.

Calendar is awkward and hard to use.

Switching around between TimeZone, ZoneOffset, and ZoneID is pretty cumbersome. Some stuff takes Strings, some take ZoneID, etc. Some things that seem to take ZoneID don't seem to be able to take a custom TimeZone (not that I think I ever really needed that- I was trying to do something hacky IIRC).

A lot of methods take Long, which you have to just read the docs to know if that's seconds or milliseconds.

It's just kind of a bleh API.

Then you mix in the fact that JDBC is forced to use the old Date classes and that messes everything up because of timezone crap.
Scarcity of precisely what is the question. In this case, a small amount of metadata. That metadata is inherently worthless, because the metadata is just information that can be copied, and a new supposedly "scarce" token can be created with the same metadata.
No. Corporations are not legal persons. They have certain legal rights, and don't have others, that align with the legal rights that people have. Some of those (freedom of speech->freedom to make donations) are more controversial than others (sign a contract).
There are lots of examples outside of sales. Diversity hiring quotas, citation quotas for police, gender quotas for board of directors, survey quotas, productivity quotas, recruiting quotas (military, MLM orgs, etc), electoral gender quotas, factory production quotas, Amazon delivery driver quotas, and so on.

Well none, but if it's the hardware responsible for managing your wireless connectivity on your mobile phone, you might not be happy about the possibility of that being compromised.
Yeah. But I've been remote for 5 years.

I do miss in-the-office work, but given the trade-offs involved I'm okay being remote. No commute is great.

The hard part with COVID isn't the remoteness, but the lack of other stuff. I'm used to doing my 9-5... and then GTFO of the house and hit a bar / gym / event / quilting circle / whatever.

Those "3rd spaces" will return after COVID, and remote will be okay then as well.
I try to make my analyses in something reproducible and then have it “still work” in Excel. So the strongly typed stuff is done elsewhere.

It’s funny though because so many people who crank on excel don’t know what types are. And don’t know what variables are. And don’t have the layers of mental abstraction that programmers who want types have and need.

So the expected protections don’t really happen. So while it’s nice to not convert “01” to “1” automatically, lots of errors will probably be caused by people trying to add “01” and “02” and getting “0102” and being super confused.
I would love to see someone run the electricity draw numbers on a theoretical build of this, accounting for solar panel output, battery longevity, and how long it could theoretically stay online based how long the sun is up each day.

In my head I'm thinking an air tight tupperware container with a pi zero inside, setup for meshing. It would be cool if it was fairly flat and had panels on both sides, so you could throw it on a roof top and be reasonably sure it'll land with a panel facing up to run.

> Are there any current, relevant hardware architectures where this is not true (e.g. bytes are not 8 bits, and integers are not 2's complement)?

For char, not sure, but the problem with signed overflow is not that you can't be sure whether it's 2's complement, it's that the compiler is allowed to assume it won't happen. So, if you read two numbers into 2 ints and add them up, then check for overflow somehow, the compiler will just remove your check while optimizing, since integrr addition can't overflow in a valid program.
Autocomplete and composition purposes, i do it mostly with commonly used strings. Less likely to miss-type something.

You are mostly right, it is to prevent alcoholism like other attempts are still made in different countries to limit or ban soda and sweet drinks, cigarettes, some drugs, some or all guns. It is in general good for public health and bad for average IQ.
There is no one in my household who wants to return to an office. Even my youngest is begging us to allow him to attend a Remote Uni so he doesn't have to commute. I will gladly give my commute time savings to my employer in extra hours worked. Financially it's a no brainier, can get rid of one of our vehicles, pay less in insurance and gas, better for the environment, less office politics, less distractions, more comfortable environment, healthier food options, etc.

I do understand there are folks who live in a shoe box apartment, have no family or responsibilities, lonely, have little else going on in their lives and basically "The Office" is the only thing they got. These people should be allowed to return but lets not drag the rest of us in with you.

I worked from a couch for a few years and only stopped due to the intense lower back pain it eventually caused me. Then I went and splurged on a high end office chair. It has improved my back, and my concentration and stamina at work greatly. Definitely one of my better investments.
Btw, with respect to your 'show me the law', 'mandated' doesn't mean 'legislated'.

That very same IBM whitepaper you cited, claims the FCC mandated it. As in, pushed an interpretation of a regulation. Are you claiming the whitepaper is wrong?

The whitepaper which you used to validate your claims?

Or, are only the parts of it which you agree with correct?
Detect it early enough and we can nudge it out of our way with a large rocket. Problems include: solar system is big, comets have really long orbital periods, we need to be good enough at predicting the path to be sure that the nudge is putting it in a good orbit we like and not setting us up for disaster. We do look for asteroids with the impression that if they ever found one coming out way we'd do a mission to stop it (though I don't think that's a real commitment.)

Considering how the only other thing I can think of to do with buckets of vodka in 19th century Poland is burn it, I'd probably go with drinking it, too. I'm not even sure burning it would work out well, either.
Indeed. The C28x line by the same company shares CHAR_BIT == 16 with C55. C28x is quite popular in power electronics applications.

"Relevant" is in the eyes of the beholder, and its all too easy to no-true-scotsman your way out of existing architectures. I claim that both of these architectures are relevant by virtue of suppliers continuing to make new chips that use them, and system builders continuing to select those chips in new products.

Right. Although even after the discoveries related to the K-t boundary and the crater, there was a school of thought that it was just a contributing factor to a pre-existing general decline. My understanding is that there's now a general consensus that it was much more of a singular cataclysmic event.

Sorry, didn't mean to but as I've said above in the thread just the other day I've seen on Facebook a pretty elaborate FUD/conspiracy theory being endorsed by a former religiously active colleague.

It was linking AZ trial side effects with apocalyptic prophecies and DoD involvement in designing a virus targeting middle eastern religious fundamentalists.

My point was that there should be a way to debunk these with fact-based evidence for people willing to reason from facts or at least to raise a few question marks on their assumptions.

If you read it, you'll see that it says no such thing, and in fact mentions a number of major ICO projects that delivered. Their first example is Filecoin, whose purpose was to create an economy of peer-to-peer data storage. It's live now with over an exabyte of capacity.

Various smaller ICO projects not mentioned in the article have also delivered. Two I'm familiar with: Funfair, which does regulated gambling on Ethereum, and Monolith, which puts tokens on VISA cards for spending, without having to take custody of them.
Interesting. When I visited a few years ago I was told that you were required to carry a rifle outside of town to protect from the bears and that a handgun wouldn't be sufficient to protect from a mature polar bear. I guess the guide exaggerated.

Some of the hardest drinkers I know are Finns. I'm not sure exactly why that would be, i.e. why Finns might drink more than Norwegians or Swedes, but this has been my observation. Keep in mind, n=low (I'd have to think about it, and I don't want to expend the brainpower right now).
My guess is that genres have become kinda diluted, because they've been sliced hyperfine. Wouldn't you rather be "the preeminent producer of Shoe-Slap HyperPunk Shibuya-by-way-of-Baghdad Grunge Disco!" than "A decent enough Techno composer"?

You show me a playlist of "techno" I've never seen before, I have a general idea what I'm in for. You tell me about "future bass", I have no clue.

Some of these genres seem more like they're really about some specific artist rather than a "genre", that is, the "genre" means something more like "I'm inspired by this artist or small number of artists" more than anything that ought to be called a "genre", if genre is to have any meaning.

... and as evidence... consult your own emotional reaction. Does it feel like I just "attacked" your favorite genre? That's actually my point; "genre" somehow carries cache with it that "being inspired by" doesn't. So of course there's a rush to declare new genres at a breakneck speed.

Hi HN -

My partner and I just launched Zenlogin. It's a super-straightforward security API that you can integrate into your login flow, whereby if/when we detect a suspicious login (via things like IP and User Agent), we'll send off an email to notify that user of the login action.

While we were building out this security functionality for another app, we realized it's pretty tricky to get right. We had consider VPNs, Bots, dynamic IP addresses, etc.

A simple use-case is: a user logs into your app from Toronto, and then a few hours later logs in via Atlanta. In that case, we'll send off a (v nice looking) email that includes a Google Map and details on the login. Something like:

https://zenlogin.co/preview

Happy to answer any questions :)
Same, but I just realized that doing code reviews is reading code; I haven't done that in a few years now, but it does make you think about how you yourself write code, so that was a valuable lesson.
A static site is really easy to host and HN's hug of death isn't actually that intense; the site itself only gets like six million views a day, a fraction of those click on every link, and no syndicated page has much reach.
So far, we had only _two_ instances of nuclear weapons fired in anger. Post-WW3 (if civilization survives) would be a world where nuclear strikes between countries are a reality and recent history. Not sure whether such a world is worth living in either.

I'm mostly ambivalent towards Perl — but I'm not afraid of programming in it, and there are a few financially lucrative Perl jobs which are such because of Perl programmers shortage. Usually you need to keep running (and develop new features, too!) a moloch of code that was born two decades ago.

It's not fun and not hell compared to other jobs. If it does keep running, it's not that bad. To put a perspective on it, I've seen Python codebases so overengineered, brittle, and hard to read, that I couldn't help but think that the authors chose the hard way quite deliberately, and that they viscerally hated their colleagues. This doesn't make Python the language bad.

But how Perl handles Unicode and it's plethora of internal flags on strings that make them bags of octets, maybe-invalid UTF-8, valid UTF-8, and other such nonsense — is driving me nuts! Because it's documented right there in `perlunicode`, some people take those flags to introduce some kind of their own type system. Mostly it's DBI, which will send corrupt data to your database if a string value had the wrong flags. There may be others, but DBD::mysql is something I've been burned by.

Now, sometimes you get the string after soaking it in a chain of third-party module calls, and you can't be sure if it's all octets, or it's UTF-8. `eq` returns true on two strings, but on the application-database boundary you get two distinct behaviors.

I know that people have been furious about the bytes/unicode split in Python 3, but trust me, it's the better than Perl's nightmare.
Yes. The reason is the most people are idiots. Like a ruler says in one of our books, "stupid, but many".

We do not need a generalized date mapping function to verify the claim, we only need to verify specific events/dates, and even for those we only need to verify a single inequality.

OTOH, looking at the data, events are dispersed over more than a month (range 124 - 86 = 38 days), so it is possible an earlier date was pushed later, where it fits better - one cannot reliably deduce month from year + day of month.
The part about lea doesn't seem especially convincing, it's not hard to imagine that pointer arithmetic could be defined such that overflow is still UB, while allowing regular signed integer arithmetic to overflow safely.
